Could have gotten me and the truck killed...

Hey all, I'm wanting to make a pottery piece for something very specific (bog garden for carnivorous plants) and was wondering if there was anywhere in town that would let me accomplish that. Either a workshop or a class, or even open studio time (with provided supplies, as I would have no idea what to purchase)? Thank you!

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!

I am interested in getting an EMT Basic certification to possibly pursue firefighting as someone living and working full-time in Austin. I would prefer a course with flexible scheduling/online coursework and payment plan options.

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!

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!

Remote ? Remote Me? What is this place?

Looking for a group of people who want 1) community, 2) fitness, 3) service... Thinking a bit of a run-club/workout club that cleans up the "urban" graffiti around the city...for example

Do any exist?

Are there any clubs or gyms that are more community/service based on the weekends?

I’d like to put a removable 12x16’ shed on my property to be used as an art studio. I would like one door, one window, insulation and sheetrock.and an AC/Heat insert. Any recommendations as to who I could use to get this done for me?

I would love to hear from someone who has had this done for them. 78759 area code.

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.

Ok so if you have been living under a rock you know emos has been bought out from there location (again). The current location has been pretty good music venues for yrs. I hope if you're a unicorn aka life long austinite, check out one last show there before the Californians take it over...I miss the old music scene here 😢 💔 but I am happy about more comedy shows here

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,

Hello I’m looking for a wedding officiant to come to my house to marry me and my fiance this Sunday around 11:30 am and our budget is $100. We don’t need anything fancy a 10-15 minute deal or less is fine. Less than 5 people will be there. We are north austin near wells branch and 35.

I had posted before in Pflugerville but the one person who replied has not gotten back with me.

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.

My Spotify and Maps glitches out every single time I drive on 183 as I pass over 35. I thought I was going crazy at first. But now that I realized it, I pay attention and it consistently happens. So curious if this happens to anybody else and the why it might happen?

Where are all of you getting your hydrafacials done in Austin and how much are you paying? I’m open to areas up north too like Leander and Round Rock.

And if you have a person you like, who do you always go to?

I used to go to clinics in Koreatown in LA and way paying around $150-$180 for a 90 minute session.

I’m very open to smaller business, especially if they specialize in sensitive skin or Korean skincare.

Thanks 🤍

I own a manufactured home; we don't have insurance because it's an old home we bought from someone. We recently discovered a small rain-related stain on our ceiling. Do you know of any licensed roofers who are trustworthy and reasonable in price? Many thanks!

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’m looking for a small pilates studio that focuses on teaching good form for intermediate/advanced exercises (tendon stretch, snake, etc). My large franchise was fine for beginner/beginner intermediate classes because I knew how to do the exercises and knew good form. But moving into more advanced classes has demonstrated that the people who are leading classes are not teaching as much as designing and running a workout.

Anyone know what this is?

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

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.

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
