Emily is having a staycation at the Domain this weekend and, claiming to not be an Austinite, doesn’t know what to do when she’s there. Nick helpfully recommends some of his usual stops when he’s in the Domain, and also uncovers a rather suspiciously named restaurant…

Burning Question: What Makes an Austinite?
In today’s burning question, what makes someone an Austinite? Merely living in Austin surely isn’t enough, right? If it was, we’d have to acknowledge all the recent move-ins from California, which is just not something we’re gonna do. Nick claims that Emily is an honorary Austinite as a consolation prize for spending an enormous amount of money at UT, but Emily claims she is decidedly a Houstonite… Houstonian? Whatever, even their name is worse than ours.
When is someone allowed to call themselves an Austinite? #MorningXBurningX

Self-Checkout Self Consciousness
Nick is worried that he’s losing touch with the kids. Back in his day, all the coolest ones around were all about the self-checkout machine at the grocery store, and he was with it. Now, kids are doing curbside, and he just can’t get into it. Is he being left behind? Please affirm his feelings of youth in the poll below.
Is @nickmouth an OK Boomer because he enjoys the self-checkout at HEB instead of getting curbside pickup or delivery?

Should Nick Scam His Roommates?
Nick wants some advice today on whether or not he should be taking advantage of his roommates’ implicit trust in him. Nick is the one in charge of their whole operation, which includes paying the rent, and he recently learned that his roommates don’t actually know how much rent they should be paying. Nick theorizes that he could be extracting more out of his roommates, and is wondering about the social/legal consequences.
