Trusted Euro mechanic

I'm looking for a trusted and reliable indy euro mechanic who works on German cars like audi. Sure I could use the dealership and pay dealership prices. But where's the fun in that?

Buddy Holly Hall: Where Dreams - and your will to live - go to melt

Look, I love a good show as much as the next person. I’ve willingly dropped obscene amounts of money on concert tickets, theater performances, and comedy shows because live entertainment is one of life’s great joys. But you know what’s NOT a joy? Sitting in Buddy Holly Hall feeling like a rotisserie chicken.

Can someone please explain to me why this place has decided that air conditioning is optional?! I swear, I don’t remember it being this bad before. Last year, I saw a show there, and it was perfectly fine—dare I say, comfortable. But recently? Oh no. Apparently, we’re all just supposed to embrace the Texas heat and sweat through our clothes like we’re at an outdoor rodeo in July.

I walked in thinking, “Oh, it’s a fancy venue, surely they’ve got climate control figured out.” WRONG. Five minutes into the performance, I could feel my shirt fusing to my back. By intermission, I was seriously considering peeling it off like a sunburned lizard. The poor guy next to me was dabbing his forehead with a napkin like he was in a 1920s courtroom drama. And don’t even get me started on how the entire lobby felt like a greenhouse.

It’s like they’ve slowly been cranking up the thermostat over time to see how much we’ll tolerate. Was there a budget cut? Did the A/C break? Is the management just conducting some kind of sadistic social experiment? I need answers.

Anyway, has anyone else noticed this, or am I just running hotter than usual? More importantly, does anyone have a strategy for surviving this place? Do I need to start bringing a handheld fan and a personal ice pack? Let me know.

Jose Alvaro

https://www.ksat.com/news/texas/2025/01/29/an-immigrant-faces-deportation-after-a-routine-traffic-stop-in-texas-sparking-more-fear/

So I read this article and was really quite upset at how they tried to spin for sympathy vs obeying the law. My heart does go out to the family affected especially his children who are innocent of the crimes of this father. But I personally do not want people on our roads with no insurance or a driver's license.

It’s important to acknowledge the difficult but necessary actions taken by law enforcement in this situation. Upholding the law, especially in complex cases like this, requires courage and integrity. Law enforcement officers have the responsibility to enforce rules that are in place to protect the safety of all individuals, and while these decisions may not always be easy, they are essential to maintaining order and ensuring that everyone is held accountable for their actions.

Given the circumstances surrounding Jose Alvaro—his illegal status, his disregard for key safety laws, and his choices to live and work in this country without following the necessary legal channels—it's clear that his actions should have consequences. In this case, suspending or reevaluating his green card process seems entirely justified. The process of becoming a lawful permanent resident is based on trust, respect for the law, and the ability to meet specific legal requirements. When someone actively chooses to break those laws, it undermines the integrity of that process.

It's essential to respect the law, and part of that respect involves holding individuals accountable for the choices they make. The actions taken by law enforcement and the potential suspension of his green card process are difficult but correct steps to ensure that the legal system is upheld fairly for all.

What to do and where to eat?

Will be in Lubbock in a few weeks for about 3 days for work. Work usually brings me to Lubbock twice a year, so I feel like I’ve hit a lot of the big name spots you’re supposed to go.

What are some of the hole in the wall places? Want steak for sure one night. I’ve been to Triple J, and Cagles in last trips. Anything in particular that’s fun at night? Usually wrap up my days around 5:30 when I’m there. Am definitely open to exploring some of the nearby cities as well. Haven’t ventured much outside of Lubbock itself except to Cagles Steaks.

Looking for a job

Hello, I plan on moving down to lubbock in about 7-8 months and I am in need of a job before. I will be a college student probably taking online courses. I mainly worked in the food industry for my whole life but if taught, I can do just about anything you need me to do. Im just kind of desperate so thats why I am here on reddit searching instead of indeed or something else like that.

Also, if anyone has any tips to secure a job before moving it would be greatly appreciated.
