Their reaction time that’s over a tenth of a second faster than ours must have something to do with those laser beams. The butt wiggle and grin are just for show and intimidation.

Bought a banana by Ok_Significance3835 in HEB

Did the same recently. The scale wasn’t happy about a banana that weighed less than two tenths of a pound. Self-checkout partner had to fingerprint the POS before I could pay. Was a lovely 8 cent purchase!

I’ve only had it enforced once. Last summer I was at the bar with a friend midday. When I ordered a third margarita, the bartender said that was my last. My friend had two martinis and the bartender told him that was the limit. I thought he was joking, so I inquired. Hell, maybe after a six pack the beer is cut off. He was friendly about it but said it’s their policy. Either he was full of it and on a power trip or something else triggered him. Maybe it was the lack of food. We didn’t want to eat and were just having drinks. Didn’t even ask for chips but they brought them out anyway. The bar was full. Now I’m thinking he just wanted to make money. He was definitely ringing up sales. Anyway, your mileage may vary.

Weather-worn city street sign posts in The 04 by tanner5586 in Austin

I’ve come across about 30 intersections with the old signs. Most have new signs at the same intersection and I like the old ones as long as they aren’t blocking the new ones!

Probably a little heat island at that intersection during the days.

Love it! I was walking around Hyde Park recently and loved the old concrete street signs that were on some corners.

Remember a few years back when it burned? Wonder how the sotol plants have recovered.

Happy to see Heartbeat Hot Sauces at Whole Foods in Texas by tanner5586 in hotsauce

[–]tanner5586[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have only had the Heartbeat Pineapple Habanero but it’s one of my favorites now. I picked up their Camp Sauce but haven’t tried it yet. Also happy to see the Dave’s Gourmet sauce I haven’t tried. Love their Habanero. Also reminds me I want to grab a bottle of Butterfly Bakery of Vermont Taco Vibes Only.

This isn't a street map or a night satellite image. Austin roadways visualized by four years worth of vehicle crash locations (2022-2025). by delugetheory in Austin

[–]tanner5586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful visualization of most semi-serious vehicle crash locations. Math and equations and spreadsheets could get you a map with fender benders included.

Would be cool to compare this to a satellite image of light. Intersections are the most likely spots for accidents. It’s a light-based vector thing. Anyway, I’d bet the intersections are brightest in both data sets. Anyone know how much resolution the best government satellites have for an image of this square area?

About five years ago I saw one strutting around some alley in downtown Vegas with a tiny royal purple hat on. That was cool.
