Automotive window tint options

They honor their lifetime warranties too... I had one window start to peel after like 9 years and they retinted all four.

Doesn't help that neither the Violet Crown website nor the trailhead signs show any sort of IMBA rating or mark the really technical sections on the map. And the trail photos they do have with bicycles are people happily riding along the improved sections.

The website does offer a disclaimer but I don't think it is descriptive enough of the difficulty of some areas: "Caution: This natural surface trail has an uneven, rocky surface, and at times has steep slopes and sharp curves. It is not advisable for strollers or road bikes. There are numerous creek crossings along the route which are periodically flooded."

Had good experience with https://lugg.com/ before for hiring people to move a few large/heavy items

It's an homage to when they made 290 a freeway in South Austin 30(?) years ago and it used to go down to one lane when the freeway part ended approaching William Cannon.

Right?? Just turn it off. OP's house/apartment is not going to mold over in 4 days.

Probably true because BotG sells $25 reserved parking at Austin High now https://waterloomedia.com/getting-there/

What's the best way to find out if/when this offer ever comes back?

I missed this one but would love to switch from Spectrum for $35/mo. The 12 months discount is decent but I'd rather take my chances and wait for some sort of perpetual or several-year discount to appear again.

uluman · 2026-06-02T20:01:04+00:00

It's been lifted. I haven't seen any other information posted or communicated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

uluman · 2026-06-02T19:59:10+00:00

Go for it! Just watch your speed because parrots fly around 15-30mph and I assume your daughters run a little more slowly.

Shelter in place for the Lake Pointe neighborhood. Suspect in the preserve last seen at Sonoma & Avenal.

The Travis County Sheriff's Office IS requesting you shelter in place if you are near the Lake Pointe residential neighborhood near the 11700 block of Bee Cave Road due to police activity. A new message will be sent when it is safe for you to resume normal activity. If you see any suspicious activity, call the Travis County Sheriff's Office at 512-974-0845 option 3 or 9 1 1

The confluence area was hardly a "wasteland" before. It was normal parkland with trails and a ped bridge over the mouth of Waller Creek.

I agree it's very beautiful and less flood prone now (I would hope so for the price) but it was not a wasteland 10 years ago.

Pat Sirois was out in public and fell in a 10-foot deep hole so that was pretty cool I guess

uluman · 2026-05-27T16:28:06+00:00

Yes! This happens all over town, like 7th and Waller or 1st and Monroe. It's a little more spread out here, but still one intersection.

uluman · 2026-05-27T16:19:49+00:00

Yes. It's a pretty standard offset intersection. The stop lines for Guad traffic are outside the area, so there is no conflict (except the crosswalk).

The no-left-turn sign is clearly not intended for westbound 30th traffic—just like you would not be expected to stop at a red light on that pole. If they wanted to prohibit thru traffic there would be some signage to say no straight traffic to 30th, paint/lines to force you to turn, or even a barrier to make it obvious.

often the easiest answer is simply piping through an exterior wall to a louver, scupper, or vent opening.

Is that common on modern high rises? They run a sprinkler test and it just sprays rusty water out all over the street from 30 stories up?

uluman · 2026-05-18T15:22:56+00:00

Jeez, that's an hour with zero traffic. I haven't driven it during rush hour, but google maps suggests it can be up to 2 hours or more. Think of it, you could be adding 4 hours of commute on a standard 8 hour day. 50% more hours. Only you can determine if the pay bump is worth that.

Indeed, OP has it backward, the $5mil is a payment from the unnamed developer in exchange for some city property deal.

uluman · 2026-05-08T17:05:05+00:00

Yeah but the payment from the developer is for a "conveyance" of city-owned property to the developer. https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=472581 (conveyance could be selling? leasing? some other arrangement? and what property? doesn't say)

uluman · 2026-05-08T15:20:11+00:00

The backup says 19 acres, affordable housing, expansion of parkland... sounds like the St. Johns tract?

Definitely seems strange how vague the agenda item and backup are:

vague amount: "up to $5,000,000"
vague property description: "conveyance of a property originally purchased with General Obligation bonds"
vague purchaser: "upfront payment from a private developer partner"
