We just continue to see these repeat problems," said Chap Ambrose, who lives next to The Boring Company. "Unfortunately, yeah, not a little effort to sort of make sure they don't happen again." Ambrose has been following the citations and complaints that have been piling up with the state and county since 2022. According to TCEQ's website, enforcement action is only done for "serious or continuing violations."

The school calendar limits what teachers can do to reach out to their own lawmakers, but they're still planning on having their voices heard. Zarifis says, “The governor so heartlessly calls a special session while teachers are teaching, will not stop us from showing up. We will be there, teachers will be there. We will be lobbying our elected officials.”

Hi everyone! My name is jack and I will be moving to texas (lewisville) I am going to join community college there to finish my pre-reqs. I am currently in the middle of anatomy and physiology. What are some good tips in joining the best community college for it. Or f you have any other tips please let me know (coming from a cold state so best sunscreen would be a good advice as well 😂)

I only scored a 7, you?

It's a reddit classic... plus we haven't seen rain during the morning commute in awhile.

Hope everyone got to enjoy the sound of rain and thunder last night, always makes me sleep better.

Have a great day Austin

Police said they do not have much information about the suspect. However, that person may have driven a gray, four-door sedan. Detectives are hoping witnesses who may have seen the crash or anything else related to it this weekend will come forward and share information that leads to an arrest. Police said it is very important to find this suspect.

“As you know, we’re playing catch-up. Thirteen years at not meeting industry standards is kind of difficult to catch up on, but by ‘28 we’ll be fully caught up, and then we’ll go on our five-year cycle," he said. "We are trimming trees; as we stand here today, we have about 50 or 60 crews out there."

In the end, interim City Manager Jesús Garza decided he knew best. No need for that pesky national search the public had been promised. No community forums or opportunities for public feedback. Instead, Garza skipped to the end on Friday and named Gail McCant as the next director of the Office of Police Oversight, a pivotal agency that receives citizen complaints and provides feedback on the practices of the Austin Police Department. McCant has been serving as the office's interim director for less than four months.

Are they talking about Domain? MCC?

Gateway is at 360/183/Mopac interchange. Burnet is over by Domain. I have no idea where this article is referring to.

Looks like it has gone full ACL. I miss the days of wandering up and drinking hot spiked cider next to the giant firepit.

Some of the key findings included in this report include:

Austin’s population is relatively young but aging rapidly. 
Population growth overall and among children took place along the edges of the city, whereas the older population grew fastest in West Austin. 
People 65 and older are the fastest growing age group in Austin, made up mostly of White older population, but the Asian older population grew the fastest. 
East Austin has increasing shares of White older adults and decreasing shares of older Black and Hispanic people. 
Although the child population grew between 2010 and 2020, children now make up a smaller share of the total population.  
Growth in the child population was driven mostly by Asian children, in contrast with a decline among Black and Latino children. 
The age distribution in Austin is heavily weighted by people of working age, especially those in their 20s and 30s. 
We have a strong ratio of workers to children and older adults, giving Austin a strong economic stance.

This is going to be crazy if so, I just wonder how many full time short term rentals there will be.

I decided. Avoiding this bridge at all costs. I highly doubt the idiot drivers here will obey the traffic diversion. Maybe they will follow if the city puts up spikes, lol.

Vehicles getting larger. EVs are heavier than their ICE equivalents. The failure of this bridge is inevitable.
