1. Austin City Ordinance § 15-6-112 - ACCUMULATIONS AND DEPOSIT OF WASTE PROHIBITED. (A) A person commits an offense if the person deposits, causes to be deposited, or permits to accumulate any dry or wet solid waste upon any public or private premises within the city in such a manner as to emit noxious or offensive odors or to become unsanitary or injurious to public health or safety.

  2. Possibly. Im absolutely convinced that the season definitely effects a person. Nothing to do with a zodiac or anything, but I definitely belive that for a decent percentage of people, WHEN they are born determines a lot of things in your life. Again, not because of space voodoo, but because everything is different then from other times. So, people are different, weather is different, different holidays, etc. So because people go through different times of the year at different ages, this can absolutely effect things

  3. You're more likely to be affected by types of environmental pollution and socioeconomic status that you're born into than the weather. Unless you're a turtle, temperature in early development has little to do with the rest of your life.

  4. I totally agree that the environment and socioeconomic situation plays a hand as well. But I believe everything that goes on around us has an impact on who we are. Seasons definitely affect people. Those people around us then influence who we become. And I don't mean just when you're born, its while you're being raised. Just purely a psychological standpoint.

  5. Epigenetics is the closest you will find evidence of this, aside from seasonal affective disorder. If we're born in different months, SAD isn't going to be based on any acclimation that we're born into with a head start. States with higher self-inflicted death rates might have colder and windier weather but those people were all born at different times of the year.

  6. Perry is great, had him for physics 1 and 2 lecture sessions. Lab instructors are a mystery though.

  7. Incilius nebulifer, Gulf Coast Toad, will have a deep groove on its head, the lateral lines will be dark with a light highlight that is usually warty, and the parotoid gland is somewhat triangular in shape.

  8. If you don't think that Biden is doing a good job as president, you're simply disengaged politically, and you're most likely spouting bullshit you heard on your favorite tiktok clip.

  9. And you're spouting bullshit you heard from a US corporate news source. He's doing a good job if it's in service to your interests, a terrible job when it comes to opening oil exploration, engaging in more wars, supporting a genocidal state, calling for more police funding, maintaining a tepid abortion stance on abortion rights, etc.

  10. I am so sick of everyone pretending that the two party system is viable, and I'm tired of everyone pretending it's the only option.

  11. The lack of third party voting in this illustration perpetuates the validation of the two party system and doesn't show that it's millions of people pulling a lever not just one to move the track. Boo this cartoon!

  12. please enlighten me how a third party president would be any different given that they have to work with the two party congress and the one party supreme court.

  13. It's more than just passing bills but also vetoing bills, acting as commander in chief, appointing officials, representing the US, etc. Gotta start somewhere, if that's enlightening enough for ya.

  14. Isn't it interesting how Hamas builds all these hundreds and hundreds of miles of tunnels for their fighters, and yet there are no civilian bomb shelters in Gaza for all the women and children.

  15. Isn't it interesting that bunkers have little use when you're being bombed by an army that is supplied with munitions designed to penetrate bunkers?

  16. If it's radical to assist in providing a means for others to seek evidence when asked for it, we're fucked. Also, XR isn't radical, they're quite modest when looking at their hard line philosophy of non-violence and performative actions.

  17. aaaah yes... and grafitti-ing the tower will definitely accomplish the goal. Well done! :)

  18. They've got people talking on here and part of the goal is to raise awareness around UT's stake in fossil fuels. So yes, they did accomplish part of their goal and OP helped get their message out. Unfortunately many folks here are concerned more about the delivery than the issue, yelling hypocrisy that a few ounces of paint were spilled to call out metric tons of carbon emissions, yet still the message is propagated by any attention given to it.

  19. How on earth does this make any sense at all? Just give up after so many that have come before us that have sacrificed so much to give us what we have now? We can preserve our democratic institutions for at least another 4 years? That’s just nihilism.

  20. And so goes the ratchet effect as long as we play along. Strategic voting only matters in swing states for national elections and your one vote diluted among millions is not as important as you imagine. Both major party candidates are awful humans and anyone's refusal to vote for either is a legitimate act of conscience in the face of unforgivable actions. Yes, Trump in the White House again would be a disaster but I would be relieved to know that he would be excluded for a third term (in before "if he doesn't become dictator by changing laws") and strap in for another four years of chaos and hit the streets to fight it. Y'all are acting like this Voldemort is some competent villain when he's fucked up being a criminal so much that he's facing more charges than there are types of felonies. Yes, it will be awful, but this will be hanging over our heads until '28 as well when the switch is even more likely if we get another Biden term.

  21. COVID variants are a great example of evolution that we have watched play out over three years now. Be sure to throw in mutation, fitness, isolation (or lack of), ecology, and population and you have yourself a talking point with real-life and current application.

  22. You clearly do not understand how morgage or even leasing works. There's a reason why someone is signing a contract that has multiple terms, conditions and making a downpayment to seal the deal. The fact that someone is very often capable of making a monthly payment for some time is not enough to get the deal. Nor it should. Once you make that deal - it comes with alot of risks.

  23. Renters make monthly payments for years on end, signing contracts and taking risks that the owner will follow through on maintenance, the house is not full of health hazards, the landlord will respect boundaries, not sell the house from under them, raise rent by absurd increments, or push them out by other means to secure higher prices in developing neighborhoods. I'm going on 22 years of renting and have nothing to show for it in terms of ownership of secure housing or returns in the investments made with my money. In all of that time my rent has paid for properties that have increased in value yet none of my investment in these properties will come back to me if or when these properties are sold. The value of the house I currently live in has doubled over the three years that I have lived here and by paying rent I am personally responsible for ensuring that the owner can make their own payments on time while they wait for an opportune time to sell. If their role in this relationship is not parasitic, I'd like to know what other analogy best fits my landlords.

  24. Went to Hancock today at 6 am. They've been out of college ruled composition notebooks for months now, it's out of control.

  25. Also if he was dead within a week, then was justice was actually served?

  26. The idea of justice in the U.S. is based on revenge. Putting someone in a cage doesn't undo the damage done, he'll never serve a 263 year sentence and his death at any point in that time will not come close to the remainder of his sentence. Even if solitary confinement stretches time to immeasurable depths, what good is that when cops still abuse their power? Justice isn't punishment, it's addressing the root of the problem so that more victims aren't created.

  27. Seriously, seeing Nim Chimpsky in my animal behavior (biology-based) course was a delight.

  28. This is the same judge who oversaw the Alex Jones case in Austin. Good for her to be on the right side of history and may she continue to serve the public for years to come!

  29. I have been voting for 25 years. People not voting has consequences, and we have too many people not voting.

  30. Assuming that people will vote the way that you want them to, with all nuance and knowledge to boot, is a big ask of a country with such poor literacy rates.

  31. A lot of leftists see Biden allowing/forgiving/excusing genocide as inexcusable, and they refuse to vote for anyone who excuses genocide in any way. They largely won't vote for Trump either, since Trump would do Genocide+ and that's not better. They'll vote third party or abstain, and I foresee Biden struggling to get enough votes as a result. It's still too early to say, but I smell 2016 all over again for 2024 - Biden wins the popular vote, but the spread is poor and it goes to Trump. There likely won't be a presidential election in 2028, because harm reduction equates to unequivocal support in the minds of too many.

  32. Why is Biden being touted as the only hope against Trump when we haven't even entered the primaries yet? That old coot might kick the bucket any day now or get his ass handed to him in the primaries when he fumbles the debates with his Swiss cheese brain. He sucks and it's his fault, not ours, for losing the popularity contest. I voted for him begrudgingly in 2020 and have only come to loathe him more since then. Those of us on the left that are tired of the proxy wars, genocide, green washing, pandering, and unfulfilled promises while watching our quality of life dwindle are fed up with having "vote blue no matter who or else it gets the hose again" being held over our heads. My one vote diluted among 16 million in a red state isn't going to do anything significant whether I vote third party or blue, unlike in my local election. I voted third party in 2016 in a blue state and it still made no difference in the long run.

  33. I haven't worked retail / hospitality in a million years, but to me, the pay doesn't look great!

  34. The minimum wage at ACC is 20 dollars so even student workers are paid that at a minimum. Unless something has changed recently UT is still paying many students literal minimum wage or something stupid like $12 an hr.

  35. I got $10 an hour to work in a lab this year with a weekly cap at 15 hours. It's not feasible to live on that and puts poor students at a greater disadvantage.

  36. Yes, the name is misguiding. Every time I come here and masturbate I'm not even sure if everyone is doing the same or how far along they are. Keep the name and require everyone to be jacking it or change it to something appropriate

  37. Anything called "DEI" can be rebranded as something else to evade scrutiny, if a lab or department wishes to retain those values.
