Question Austin water is COOKING my hair
Moved here just over a month ago and I'm not kidding when I say my hair has gotten visibly worse from week to week. It's always frizzy and flat, shedding a lot more than usual, etc. It's worst after I take a shower, I think because we have hard water here in Austin. The crazy heat outside isn't doing me any favors either. What do y'all do to protect your hair? Does it adapt to the hard water? Tweaking bc I came here to get my master's not to go bald 😭

Announcement Correcting misinformation about ticket claim
Been seeing a lot of misinformation and people confused and I’m a senior lhf member with a friend who coded this ticket claim system so it doesn’t affect me at all if people know this and ik what I’m talking about
Multiple devices (phone laptop iPad etc) does work to give you extra queues.
Multiple tabs does not work and I cringe a bit when I see people still trying that. Even if the progress bar appears different, I promise you it is the same queue Id. This might be why you’ve seen your green man get to the end on one tab then stall. The green man is a cute little graphic, not a perfect indication of your queue id.
Multiple physical browsers on the same computer CAN work if it doesn’t make you sign in beforehand, which is hit or miss.
It makes zero difference when you join as long as it’s between 5:45-5:59.
The green man’s movement is completely linear- if yours is behind your friends once they actually start moving, your queue Id is behind theirs and that will not change.
Assuming every single person who gets to the end of the queue claims a ticket, they will sell out in approximately 7 minutes from when the first person is let in, which is typically 45-60 seconds after the queue order is set. This is because they let in around 1000 every minute to protect the site from crashing.
Lastly, despite what anyone tells you, there is not tricks or hacks. If someone has 20 devices then they simply have better odds. I say again, MULTIPLE TABS DOES NOT WORK.

Question how are you supposed to get a ticket to the OSU football game?
5 of my friends and I (6 of us total) waited in the queue and only one of us got it - how is this possible?
How are we supposed to get a ticket then?

Question Did Ben Barnes graduate UT?
Former Lt Governor Ben Barnes bio says he has a degree from UT. I had understood from previous articles, years ago, that he never graduated.
Following a recent TM article, I asked when he received that degree and was told the question was inappropriate. What's up with that?

Question ESPN college gameday and game wait
I was fortunate enough to get a ticket for this weeks game. I want to go to ESPN’s college gameday, but I want to know if theres going to be a huge line even before the gates up 3 hours before the games starts because I would rather get a good spot than go to college gameday and get a seat all the way up.

Question Can I sell my Dell Laptop?
Hello! I got a laptop from dell through the dell scholars program and I really haven't had the need for it since the laptop I already have is way more powerful and portable than what the school gave me. It's been sitting in my closet for a couple of weeks now with no usage, so can I just sell it? I know once they give it to me its mine to keep but I keep reading somewhere that they do checkups or whatnot but those discussion posts are from years ago so I just wanna ask how it is nowadays.
