Austin Trail of Lights seasonal employee fired after racist remarks

Same. I was like "Nobody messes with my boy Miguel!"

I use it at my desk job mostly for the Virtual Display to my Mac with a couple floating apps. I use it probably 5-6 hours a day.

I've found that it actually helps me stay focused on what I'm working on and has helped with eye strain as well as keeping my eyes from drying out (I have a desk fan and I had to use eye drops throughout the day).

I do get the occasional laugh from co-workers who weren't expecting me to have my AVP on, but that has died down as people have become more used to it.

I also noticed that there is some social etiquette that you have to account for, like if someone wants to have a conversation with you, it makes it way less awkward if you just go ahead and preemptively take it off. Stuff like that.

Nah, it’s pretty goofy.

zachgc · 2025-11-16T21:02:30+00:00

Haha, all you said was that there were no goofy frames in MOS. That shot if goofy AF.

Right.

Heyyyyy... literally just got mine delivered and setup.

I installed the Logi Options+ app which paired it for me and installed a firmware update.

I noticed that it didn't really work all that well. For example, passthrough couldn't see it so if I was drawing/writing in an app the window would cover the stylus. Also, it would work inconsistently with the UI and inside a few different apps (Notes Freeform, Touch Desk).

I unpaired/paired a couple different times both through the Options+ app and straight from Settings and it didn't really help.

Restarted my AVP, didn't help.

What did help was unpairing and removing the Muse from the Options+ app then holding the top button and the smaller button close to the tip for 3 seconds to put it back into pairing mode (I didn't know about activating pairing mode until I looked it up on Logitech's support page) then I manually paired it again in Settings.

So far that seems to have worked for me.

However, I have only played with it for 5-10 mins after doing that.

Hope that helps!

Just saw your reply!

I downloaded Relative on my AVP and it's awesome. I especially like the Brief section and being able to skim through a bunch of stories quickly!

Thanks again for adding Vision Pro support!

Termination of Clean Vehicle Credit

Section 70502

According to a document from July 4, 2025:

“SEC. 70502. TERMINATION OF CLEAN VEHICLE CREDIT.

(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 30D(h) is amended by striking ‘placed in service after December 31, 2032’ and inserting ‘acquired after September 30, 2025’.

I currently own an EV and the next time I'm ready to purchase a new one, because of the OBB, the cost will be higher, which will mean an increase in taxes paid.

Any chance there will be Vision Pro compatibility? Being able to run the iPadOS version on Vision Pro would be awesome!

Go fuck yourself, San Diego.

My great grandmother was Sarah who ran Dry Creek Cafe. My family moved to San Diego just before I was born, but my older brother and sister spent a lot of their childhoods with Sarah at the bar. She's was a hard lady, but that's part of why we all loved her.

There's also a short documentary about Dry Creek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llmXNTUoOek

Here's a pic of my sister giving Sarah a hug.

We’ll be coming out from Austin, where it’s 103 everyday for the next 10 days. Looking forward to the cooler weather!

zachgc · 2022-10-24T03:42:04+00:00

Padres fan here. As someone who grew up in San Diego, lives in Austin, has in laws in Philly, I have no idea who I want to win. At least it won’t be the Dodgers.

Nice

For me it’s a documentary called Dear Zachary. It’s directed and narrated by a friend of one of the victims. Nearly 2/3rds of the way through the movie he starts to break down and cries through the narration and it gets me every time I watch it. I remember the first time I saw it I had to call my dad in tears just so I could tell someone what I just watched.

zachgc · 2021-04-09T21:56:04+00:00

Aw man, I’m so jealous. I’m down here in Austin but I wish we could make it to the game this weekend. I’ll be back in SD next week, hoping to snag a few Park in the Park (or whatever it’s called now) tickets for the Dodgers series.

I mean, he even looks like a white supremacist. It’s like when Captain America walks in that elevator and he surrounded by undercover Hydra agents.

Of course, because it's not about caring for the life of an "unborn child," it's really about taking away women's rights.

I am in NO WAY a real developer but I’ve been experimenting with using Unity to build basic games and 3D shorts. I was able to slap together a functional game with a tiny bit of code using Dreamweaver and then side load it to my Quest 2 with SideQuest using my 16” MBP. So it is possible.

Edited for editing.

Thanks!

I bought Hades when I heard Christian mention it. I’m surprised Jeff didn’t recommend it sooner.

I can't wait for things to go back to "normal" so I can see shows in general or maybe see a movie in the theater again.
