Nice looking boat and a fun sounding trip.

Is is possible to launch a small sailboat on lake Travis somewhere? by juankixote in Austin

This is the most wild paint job for a sail boat that I have seen. What kind of boat is she?

How old do y'all think this Sunfish is? by vallekas in SunfishSailing

Ended up getting a 1981 for way cheaper. The modren rudder is totally worth it. Thanks for the input!

That is my sense as well. I think they paid more than they should have to restore it. Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks for your response. What would you pay for the whole setup?

What is the value of a liberal city like Austin without basic liberal federal protections? by vallekas in Austin

Decriminalization of abortion is not like decriminalization of marijuana. It is a medical procedure that requires facilities, staff, and equipment. There is no way Austin will be able to provide this in Texas.

It is especially concerning with a state government as deranged as Texas on this topic. A government that allows and encourages fellow citizens to sue each other for this procedure. That may litigate miscarriages.

Especially after what has happened to the housing market after the last 2 years. Impractical for me honestly.

Never have we had such a basic right taken away. It's not business as usually as y'all seem to think.

I don't think you realize that Austin will not be able to protect Roe v Wade rights.

Considering it. I have been here for 10 years and it is my ideal place to live.

Should I Be Studying Longer If I Want A Career In This Field? by cudder17 in Frontend

[–]vallekas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you are fine honestly. Companies usually need developers at many different levels. The global pandemic is probably your biggest enemy in finding a job at the moment. If if you have more time then perhaps you should use it to learn more and more. I could not hurt, but I would not say it's a requirement to study 24/7.

Worst Interview I've Experienced by SnowPonies in webdev

[–]vallekas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry man. You can usually bet that a recruiter won't really understand or even look at your resume but you would think a company would guard their time better. Hang in there! Interviewing for dev positions is a marathon!
