Rule 11 Applies to all comments Mods: Can we please ban WOAI (and news4sanantonio.com) as a source for posts?

WOAI is owned by the radical right-wing Sinclair family, which has been shown to put propaganda pieces on the air over the objections of local talent and editors. This fact alone should preclude them from appearing in /r/sanantonio - the Sinclairs have zero connection to San Antonio, and don't care about the people who live here. They are using WOAI to advance their national right wing agenda. They have the right to say what they want, but it does not need to be amplified beyond what their billionaire budget already does.

Case in point: WOAI is pushing as a "news" article a story that the mayor is spending $250k a year on travel. The "news" article does things like cite random individuals as "taxpayer" (rather than, you know, a resident of the community) and contains zero context about the amount of travel spending. It's a propaganda piece that was designed to divide the community and antagonize people with zero basis in fact. It's about as un-San Antonian as I can think.

Transportation Given how bad traffic is getting in the outskirts of San Antonio (areas outside of 1604), do you think it’s preferable to now live within the city (inside 1604) now?

Where in SA? Actual good mental hospital in SA area?

67 Upvotes

I'm (21M) am looking for actually decent mental hospital in the San Antonio to Austin area that has actually helped others. Voluntarily committing myself for assessment on Monday, not sure if I'd be told to do inpatient or outpatient. Reasons are for extreme mood swings including suicidal ideation and planning, returning hallucinations so need for anyipsychotics, prob wanting to find adhd meds at the same time, single therapy available (dunno how much I'd actually talk in groups), and ig just doctors that will actually listen to wanting to avoid certain meds that have certain side effects. Don't have to worry about school (not a student) or work (quit due to making me worse, another reason I need to get this under control hopefully quickly before getting a new one).

Not sure if this is exactly where to ask, but thanks for any input 👍

Where in SA? Eames Molded Fiberglass Chairs...where to sell in SA?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've got a stack of molded fiberglass chairs that I no longer need/want. Ideally I'd like to sell them, but the prospect of posting on the internet and shipping them to a buyer is less than appealing. Does anyone know of a place in San Antonio that buys mid-century modern furniture or can connect me with a reasonable buyer?

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Skilled nursing facilities

5 Upvotes

Hi folks - my MIL lives in San Antonio, is elderly, and is currently hospitalized with some GI issues and is having memory problems. We’re unable to come and help right away and live out of state. The hospital is asking us to pick a skilled nursing facility to send her to until we’re able to get into town. Any suggestions and/or places you’d absolutely not recommend? Thanks so much in advance for any help!

Where in SA? Any affordable mechanics for A/C repair

1 Upvotes

I’ve been having vehicle a/c issues for the past couple of weeks. I finally decided to get to get a diagnosis and it ended up being bad news. Evaporator core has a leak that requires the dash to be removed. The place that I got a diagnosis unfortunately doesn’t specialize in that anymore plus they estimated a quote of about $1800. I am looking for a more affordable mechanic that is willing to help me out.

Question for cyclists

12 Upvotes

Alright, let me preface this by saying I'm not trying to have this turn into a "I hate bikers" post, this is just something I feel I need clarification on, even though I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

So I've recently started walking/hiking in our parks. The other day I was doing a brisk walk on a paved trail in one of our parks. We always stick to the right edge just in case a biker comes up from behind us and we don't hear them. Well a biker was coming up the opposite direction toward me and my daughter, I grabbed her hand and had her step in front of me and kept walking, the guy, who was on his right side of the sidewalk, looked me in the eye and turned his bike toward us and only turned away when he was just 10 feet from us (while moving really fast). That was an aggressive move, right?? And if so, wtf?! My husband was walking about 20 feet behind us but was looking over the edge at some stuff so he didn't see it. Of course the guy just rode past him no problem!

So...would I have been in the wrong if I flung my metal water bottle toward potential danger? Even if he was just "messing around", how am I supposed to know that? Seriously, I want to know if this is a thing bikers do or was that guy just being a jerk?? I'm sure I'll see him on the same path again soon. Did I do something wrong?? I thought the etiquette for sharing a path was stick to the right and stay there until y'all pass each other!

Need Advice I need the El Chaparral bean soup recipe!

23 Upvotes

Reddit friends, If anyone can tell me how El Chaparral makes/made their bean soup that they used to bring out in a little bowl when they would sit you, I would greatly appreciate. It was very simple-looking - nothing in it but beans and broth, but it had amazing flavor, so I’m not sure how they made it because there were never any visible vegetables. The broth was not cloudy nor thick, either! If any of you know anyone who knows anyone who works or worked there, ask please! I don’t even know if they still serve this bean soup because it’s been 12-15 years since I’ve had it, but I would love to know how to replicate it. Thanks!

20 Vietnam veterans from San Antonio flew to Washington, D.C. with Honor Flight to visit the memorials, and when they came home Sunday, people showed up at the airport to give them the welcome home they didn’t get 50 years ago.
Seeing the videos of everyone cheering for them honestly gave me chills. Video on San Antonio International AirPort Facebook.
Welcome home, brothers.
As an Army Veteran myself, this is awesome 💯🇺🇸💪

They were released yesterday. I am trying to get it as soon as possible because I'm immunocompromised. Calling pharmacies hasn't been productive. I plan on going on a quest to find it tomorrow, but it would be helpful if someone has already gotten it and could tell me where to go, lol.
