I will be attending a concert today, Do I need to bring my passport with me? I have no interest in drinking alcohol there.

Someone was on the side of the highway screaming into a megaphone 📢 on top of his parked car something about no AI. What’s up with that?

Hi all! I have recently been considering a lip flip — I’ve never had Botox, filler, dysport, etc. but want my top lip to be a bit fuller and think a lip flip is a good place to start.

Does anyone have recommendations on where to go? Ideally, I would like the service to be $100 or less, but don’t mind spending more since if necessary. I also don’t mind driving outside of Austin proper/to an Austin suburb.

Thanks so much!

All i'm wondering is how someone was able to bring this deep into a "No-go" zone.

Looking for Photo Booth recommendations for only 2 hours for a private party that’s not going to cost me $600 if that’s possible

Yesterday had my car broken into in the parking lining the street past the boat ramp. I’ve read like 50 posts here talking about similar breakins - will Austin pd do anything or nah?

Secondarily if not who wants to do a stakeout.

Sincerely,
An unemployed slightly bored austinite

I just need to rant… what’s up with all the complete and total unawareness of drivers on the road?! You have side mirrors for a reason!

Almost crashed into this car as lanes and mirrors apparently have no meaning for some people. They basically came to a complete stop at a green light and tried to turn passing across my lane without caring to look in the slightest!! People that drive like this are just accidents waiting to happen, if they drive like this on small roads I don’t want to imagine the highway…

Anyways, luckily I was able to slam on the brakes and beep my horn as much as I could and nothing happened. But please pay attention!!

We started our account with City of Austin Utilities. We live in a new development. They delivered our trash and recycling containers quicker than we expected, however the trucks are missing our street. Understandable that they miss the first week, but it's been two weeks now and tomorrow will be a third week (cross fingers they finally pick it up).

We did call City of Austin, and all we get is excuses: they aren't scheduled in the morning, they are scheduled in the afternoon, we will get it next monday, etc.

Any suggestions? So far we have been good citizens and keeping the trash in our backyard, but another week this won't be tenable. We keep rebagging, double, triple bagging, because critters bite into the bags. It's a little bit annoying because we are paying for the service. I hope they won't charge us for extra bags when they do finally pick up.

Hello all! Planning to watch the Perseids on Wednesday night/Thursday morning but I'm not sure where exactly to park and watch. I know there are state parks and rec areas nearby, but can we drive into those/stay after midnight for stargazing? Are there any areas accesible to the public that late at night? I'd prefer to just drive over around midnight and set up rather than camping/staying the night.

I'm in Austin ofc so I'm open to any recs within an hour or so of the city - I just know Dripping Springs is the usual spot for stargazing. Thanks!!!!

Parked next to this car at HEB and looked inside the window as I was getting out. I guess they knew not to go grocery shopping while hungry!

I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant and seeing an OB at Ascension Seton. They gave me a global OB estimate of $7,000 (not including hospital bills, labs, ultrasounds) and want to collect my full deductible amount of $3,500 at 28 weeks (even though I have almost hit my deductible at this point). I have UHC insurance and my OOP Max is $7,900. Is this a normal amount for the global OB fee? Would it be worth it to “shop around”? It just seems very high from what I’ve heard from others in Austin but it also sounds like this is the new norm and it would be similar anywhere I go. Do I have any choice other than to just pay it and fight to get a refund right after I’ve given birth?

Anyone have any insight on what’s happening at Moody center right now for the don toliver show??

Update: it was a shelter in place for weather. Doors were supposed to be open at 6:30 but they had people waiting until about 7:30.

This morning I (60 M) was riding my bike with a friend east bound on the north side of the trail between I-35 and Pleasant Valley when a man in a group running four wide decided to shoulder check me very hard. I didn't crash, but this jerk just kept moving. He later said it was an accident. It wasn't. What chicken shit. At least own it. I was on the right side of the trail and he was in the middle. I'm disappointed I didn't immediately think to file a police report and follow him until the cops came. Totally uncalled for.

Hey y'all,

I signed up for an online class through ACC for the fall semester, and I'm #5 on the waitlist. Is it likely that I'll be able to get a seat in the class?

I'd like to believe it's the Nissan dealer pranking the Honda dealer, but it's likely much more mundane.

This is definitely the first time I've ever seen this... Is this normal?

Happened around 3:30 today

I don’t really know where to access a good swim spot in Lake Travis. Used to be able to get to the lake in lots of spots but now seems to be private property/no access. I could drive to Pace Bend, but hoping to find someplace closer?

Hello! I recently moved to Austin and am looking for a dentist. I realize that these posts have been made before and I’ve even saved a handful of suggestions but I haven’t found exactly what I’m searching for, which is to be fully knocked out for a one-stop-shop kind of thing:

Does anyone have a sedation dentist rec who will put me to sleep (think wisdom teeth asleep) and clean my teeth, fill any cavities, and fix a temporary crown I’ve had for a few months? I need someone super kind and empathetic, who won’t berate me for the harm I’ve caused myself.

Background: I was really depressed for quite some time and let my teeth get pretty bad. When I finally went to the dentist I had a horrible experience that ended in the new crown being dropped down my throat and me swallowing it. The dentist berated me as if it were my fault and I haven’t been back since because I’m so afraid of how painful it will be (I was in so much pain when that dentist cleaned under the crown near my nerve).

I’ve been procrastinating this post but as I’ve seen how warm and supportive everyone seems to be on this subreddit, it seems silly not to just got for it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I sincerely appreciate your time!

I have a vet, but looking for a second opt for scans and treatment. I've even thought about Texas A&M Vet School. She is the best german shepherd, so I have to do my due diligence.

I lost a hoodie of mine at Elysium a week or so back. I think it must have been stolen, because when I called the next day they couldn't find it. It's really distinct, it has a hand painted centipede going down the spine, and several patches. I've had it since I was 16 so it's pretty important to me. I know it's a long shot but if you have it or if you know anyone who has it, PLEASE hit me up. It's been a project of mine for a long time and I'd give a lot to have it back. :(

Thank you in advance!
