Itโ€™s upstairs, the slight breeze is nice. Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™m paying we energies for the privilege ๐Ÿซ

yeah it was very delayed. Weird coincidence that the late test occurred exactly with my phoneโ€™s snow alert!

home, yeah, but I did have a skylight open until the snow started which helped make it louder

Today's routine monthly outdoor warning siren test occurred later than usual. The sirens operated normally when they were activated at 12:24 PM. The test has now been completed.

I looked at the clock like 3 times. I donโ€™t think itโ€™s a test because that would be sooo late? Itโ€™s super weird

The tornado sirens just started going off while my phone simultaneously notified me that itโ€™s going to start snowing in 10 minutes. Iโ€™m sure this is fine

Hall grew up in Oklahoma, where he worked as a correctional officer, before moving to Texas a decade ago. He visited Austin for South by Southwest to party, parked somewhere he shouldn't, got his car towed and ended up staying in town to work for the towing company because he couldn't immediately afford the fees.

I absolutely appreciate having the public meeting but it certainly feels like they couldโ€™ve included the four bullet points explaining the work on the actual invitation

DPW held an informational open house about a โ€œproposed bridge improvement projectโ€ for one of my regular bike routes (see my pinned post) and it turns out the word โ€œimprovementโ€ is engineer-speak for a bit of touch up paint. Totally fair but not what I expected from their jaunty invite ๐Ÿ˜…

The kid saw his friend shoveling across the street and decided to help, which turned into the two of them deciding to shovel the entire block and somehow both returning with $10 cash from appreciative (?) neighbors

Feels like the guaranteed profit for WE Energies is also a unique local quirk that makes a Foxconn repeat have a very clear price tag for residents as well
