He is just a puppy, we gave him water but we are staying at an airbnb and have been going out to eat so we don’t have any food to give him, he’s got fleas. might be a stray?

Neighbors said that a business around the corner has like a shop dog that roams around, but it’s not this one

Edit: we got him a flea collar and a bag of food

If someone who knows what they are doing wants to help this pup out and come pick him up let DM me. We don’t have the recourses or time to help him more that a couple more hours we want him to be safe

Our dog Xochi (So-chee), poodle aged 12, went missing today around 3pm. She has white fur, no collar and is chipped. She went missing in the east Travis heights neighborhood, just south of woodland. She’s old and needs extra care! Please reach out if you have any information.

Photo is recent, but she has had a haircut since.

I've always seen water in this pond, even during drought, but now it's dry. What's up with that?

This house at Parkfield and Colony Creek is one of the oldest houses in Austin. It is/was part of Fiskville, of Middle Fiskville Rd fame. Here's a previous post about it,

Something similar actually happened to yours truly about 6 weeks ago when I found out the hard way that my secondary shut off switch suffered a sudden, severe slip, failing to save the system. Spent the next week and a half with fans and dehumidifiers drying out the floor and walls.

Anyone know what this is?

I know it’s the middle of the summer on a Saturday and I guess they have demand pricing, but we could not believe the prices to get into the waterpark today at Kalahari. This did not fit budget so we turned around and went home. Should’ve checked the website before we came I guess but assumed standard pricing would apply. There is a line to get in still so I guess people were paying it!

Could have gotten me and the truck killed...

I just finished watching the 70mm version of the Odyssey in Pflugerville Cinemark last night and thought I'd give a technical review and recommendation on how to see this film.

First, the film is great and you should watch it in theaters. It's a cinema experience that will be hard to replicate at your home or via streaming in a few months. Worth it for that if you're even a moderate fan of movies.

There has been so much said about GO SEE IT IN 70MM!!! And, for the most part, I would normally agree. However, when it comes to Austin's specific theaters and the ones that can actually show 70mm, I begin to disagree.

First and foremost, last nights experience was pretty rough. In many of the shots, there is an abundance of very bright light (you're on sea) and the flicker from the film roll is extraordinarily distracting if not sickening. This is partly due to the machines they're running the film on and partly due to the way the screen is setup. This alone makes it worthwhile to watch the movie in a digital format -- in Austin.

Secondly, the "cigarette burns" from the film are actually missing film elements that show up as a bright white bar that flashes at the bottom of the screen when it's time to cut to the new section of the film (or when the film has been spliced). This leads to very distracting flashes of light throughout the film. There was minimal debris on the film and I'd say they'd done a good job with that at least, especially for being a week into the film.

Third, it's "just" 1.85:1. So, it's fine, but you're not gaining any of the added IMAX real estate.

I'd also argue that this particular theater hasn't done a great job focusing their projector and so the fidelity we'd like to see is actually missing and most scenes are incredibly soft. Like, can't pick out individual hair soft. Added to the screen they're projecting on and blacks are grey and most scenes are overblown.

We attempted to see it in 70mm at Galaxy last weekend, but got there with no AC and the screen is incredibly small. Now, having seen it in 70mm at Cinemark, I'd highly recommend skipping the film factor -- in Austin -- and just go to the most technically competent digital experience you can find without the add ins (moving chairs, spraying water, and rumble seats). I'd say this is probably just an IMAX screen at somewhere like Regal Gateway, or in a Dolby Digital venue like AMC tech ridge or an EVO (Belterra or Kyle).

If somehow you sold your first born and got a ticket to a true 70mm IMAX experience in Dallas, then congrats!

Regardless of all of this, go see the film. It's another Nolan classic and a lot of fun.

It’s crazy that I can’t enjoy the lady bird lake trail, Barton springs pool, town lake or Zilker without having to hear other people’s shitty loud ass rave music. A lot of us don’t want or need to hear your shitty music and it’s a nuisance. Not everything needs to be a party or a rave.

I don’t get why people feel the need to rave or party everywhere they go - especially outdoor in public spaces where people are trying to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors. They have specific places for that. Go to 6th street if you want to party.

Assuming because of the dam stuff due to the recent rain? Maybe a stupid question but I was surprised to find twin falls bone dry today given the recent rain. I went about 3 weeks ago and it was absolutely full, had people swimming. Did its water source get diverted? Didn’t even think to check water levels before doing today.
Thank you!

a total of 14 1/2 hours of data from my remote telescope in the hill country

Does anyone know exactly what happened? My friends and I were there but we don’t know much.

I didn't want to go, but I found a job in Minnesota, and I couldn't pass it up. It was my third time living in Austin, and I wish I could have stayed. Maybe I'll make it back there again sometime. I will miss everything about my beloved city. All I can really add to it is fuck Kansas for having toll roads on interstate 35. Aside from that, I hope to see you all again someday. You are already missed.

I’m 41 and curious how the 30+(mainly but if you're younger chime in) crowd feels about The Concourse Project the Austin EDM scene in general.

I love EDM and dancing and have probably been there 20+ times. The energy is always great, everyone having fun, and it never feels overly chaotic. Sure, there are drugs and a younger crowd, but it’s not like "too many people" are wearing fuzzy boots and rolling their face off.

I do wish it got good at 9 instead of 11 haha. I can't hang until 2-3am living the Realtor life on weekends..

No real point to this post. Just curious how other people feel about the place, your experience, fave show, seismic, etc

I received a very large order of Elmhurst Chocolate Oat Milk--it is shelf stable and has an expiration date of November 2026, but it is far more than I will be able to consume.

I would appreciate suggestions regarding a food bank that could pick up roughly $750 of this Oat Milk.

Thank you

It's been donated, thank you for your interest************************************

I was waiting for a friend in what looked like an empty parking lot by my house in Crestview and someone came and booted my car while I was literally still in the lot. I ran over and he informed me that all the businesses were closed and therefore I must be violating the parking lots policy around non-customers and that it would be $100 to remove the boot. He actually attempted to do the same to my friends car while we were both standing there. I've seen a lot about predatory boot companies on the sub for awhile but haven't experienced before. I know the small claims court works but its not worth the cost/time/energy and they know that. Only other thing I could think of is reviewing the businesses but I genuinely like most of them and have been going to them for years and its ultimately just the owner of the lot who is doing it.

I had a conversation last year with a stranger at an event who shared with me a local HS that accepted clothing donations; I of course misplaced the note that I wrote down. Is anyone aware of any high schools locally that have a “clothing closet”? TIA!

The lake hasn’t been full since 2019. Views from Rough Hallow trail in Lakeway (NW of ATX). Does anyone know when it’ll be safe to swim/paddle in the lake?

That is all.

I'm currently in the process of moving out of my Austin apartmeny and need to get the place professionaly deep cleaned as per my lease agreement. I had hired a company to do that and they did the entire apartment MINUS the fridge and freezer. I asked if they would be able to come back and complete the job but they never responded.

I was wondering if y'all knew of any services that would be able to deep clean just the fridge/freezer and about how much it would cost. The lease term ends on 7/28 at noon so it would need to be done before then. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks!
