We only visited once and it was awesome. I have my doubts that the South location can recreate the vibe since it’s a new build.

This story makes you feel sad, angry, and hopeful all at the same time. His freedom isn’t enough; Texas needs to make the $2 million in compensation happen.

I just read the list to my wife and I have been instructed to buy some cinnamon roll cupcakes for Christmas. Haha

Are you wanting a certain type? HEB has one of the best carrot cakes in town. Their pies are just ok. Whole foods has some solid cakes and tiramisu. Sam’s has great pies and side items - their cinnamon roll cupcakes are next level.

Haha. The author must live in a small apartment. My house winter bill is $40 and my summer bill is $160.

If we can have 5 months of this, I’d forgive the crazy summer we all just survived.

Check to see events during that time. The second weekend of ACL will happen while you’re here so maybe you can snag some last second tickets.

The timeline for starting new construction is 2025. The bridge must be in really bad shape for them to limit traffic 1.5 years out.

Anyone else have pink eye? It just went through our house and the pharmacist said she has seen a tenfold of bacterial pink eye compared to usual.

Randall’s bread has gotten me before. Luckily the cashier saw the mold before he scanned it.

They just released the schedule https://www.aclfestival.com/schedule

Not a question but I did want to share something I experienced this weekend. We’re in south Louisiana this weekend and the heat index was 114. This did not feel the same as Austin with a heat index of 114. For those with family/friends in the south that act like they’re experiencing the same weather, tell them a lemmy user said it’s not true. I wish this is what Austin felt like.

Not to give them any ideas but it seems like the only way around this is to create a division that handles the reviewing for the state. At some point, they realize they can’t keep up with the requests and so they turn to AI to review books. Then authors get creative to bypass the ai model and the state creates another silly law.

They’ll release the schedule around mid-August. You can buy the shirt while you’re there. Also, around the time that they release the schedule, they’ll also announce late night shows around Austin. Attend one with your favorite artist. It’s much more intimate than ACL since you’ll be in a small venue. These days, I skip ACL and only attend late night shows.

Virtualbox all the way. That way, she can still run her day to day apps in macOS while only using virtualbox for the class. And here’s the best part - once she reaches the point where she knows the setup she likes, she can create a new VM and set it up cleanly and delete the old one. I would only use the boot camp option if she will need to connect to hardware. VirtualBox can be finicky when it comes to USB devices.

My wife used to take classes at atxpottery. They fill up quick which means you’re looking at winter classes being the earliest. If you’re in South Austin, Mud Studio is an option. South Austin studios typically have more openings than North Austin. People have mentioned classes at The Contemporary Austin being great but your mileage may vary.

We have 77 years to figure out how to fix 35.

After 11 years of no TV, we just purchased one so that our 2 year old won’t have to stare at a phone screen to watch educational videos. After he leaves for college, I’d be happy to return to a no TV house.

To answer your question, my wife is a lifelong learner. She spends most nights reading or taking courses to further her career. I’m a hobby person - playing instruments, woodworking, 3d printing, electronics, house projects. If we want to watch a new movie, we’ll see it in theaters. We don’t have time for tv shows. We’ve never watched The Office, GOT, Breaking Bad, The Wire, etc. which makes for interesting double dates.
