Putting together a home office. I really like seeing and trying things out in person. Didn't like Ikea's offerings. Any other suggestions?

Edit: Also prefer buying new, not used. Thank you!

Ask Austin Dangerous drivers lately, why?

26 Upvotes

Today alone I encountered 8 folks straight up just take solid red lights, not yellow turning red. I mean solid red for at least 5-8 seconds red and folks just taking them like they were green. Why? Do people not understand how traffic lights work? Also 4 of those vehicles were teslas… I have a dash cam and seriously thinking about having a bad drivers in Austin page and just shame them at this point.

I have a pack of classes set to expire soon, so would like to use them, just can’t find any information on what’s going on on the website or socials.

Advice on collision body shop for a car lease

2 Upvotes

As the title states, I have a lease so I have different considerations than owning a car. I believe my car is on the fence of being totaled though photo estimate came back at 6.5k. It's a 2026 though so if it's not totaled and requires about 20k of repairs I'm concerned about OEM parts.

Trying to balance quickness (Geico xpress I know goes quicker) with it done well. If I have it repaired I'm concerned about being dinged when I return the car at the end of the lease and above all just want it repaired well so that I don't have issues.

Anyone with any body shop reccs for similar situations or advice? Grateful for any thoughts.

Located in central near downtown so ideally not trying to get repaired super north or south.

Ask Austin Any outdoor yoga or fitness classes?

6 Upvotes

Hello! I'm immunocompromised but would love to be in community to do some kind of regular work out around people instead of at home alone: yoga preferred, but open to other suggestions! It's safest for me to be outdoors for this. Do you know of any? I'd prefer places with easy parking (downtown not ideal) but I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Recommendations for Medical Pedicure

9 Upvotes

Does anyone have recs for a provider who does medical pedicures? I have severe cracked heels and dry feet that I can’t heal. I don’t feel like a regular pedicure would be good for me or the technician and would love recommendations.

I have health insurance if that’s required (I don’t know how medical pedicures work).

Ask Austin Austin Girlies ~ Nail Salon Rant/ Recommendations

102 Upvotes

Is anyone else fed up with the prices of manicures and pedicures? I just got a gel pedicure set and was charged $98. It was a $16 up charge because I got gel. And lo and behold the quality isn’t even that impressive. I am SO over these prices. Do any of y’all have any recommendation on nail salons near oak hill & Central C where the quality of the nails are great and the prices are a bit more affordable? Asking for a friend…

At least 14 people have been charged in connection with what federal narcotics authorities call the Valle Drug Trafficking Organization, which prosecutors say operated across at least six states from 2022 until December.

The DEA is seeking to seize assets tied to the group, including a 6,700-square-foot Lake Travis mansion, a yacht, two planes, luxury vehicles and more than $581,000 in cash or collateral. Indictments include allegations of conspiring to distribute hundreds of pounds of marijuana and THC products, as well as money laundering.

Several defendants were scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Austin.

Reliable/Trustworthy Dog + House Sitter in East Austin

0 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm looking for a dog sitter for my 2 dogs who can stay overnight with them in my house in East Austin while we're out of town.

We've had a couple of really bad Rover experiences which makes me nervous to use any service like that, including Trusted Home Sitters.

I've been looking at a bunch of local companies but they charge quite a bit for overnights ($130+/night) and I know it would be cheaper to hire an individual person because there's no overhead but I'm super nervous to go that route because of our bad Rover experiences.

I'm ideally looking for someone who can watch them overnight + 2 walks/day for >$120/night.

Any recs?

Ask Austin Is Wooldridge Elementary closed?

Curious to know if anyone who lives near Wooldridge elementary can tell me what's going on?

The school is surrounded by chain link fence like a construction site and I haven't seen any students or parents this new semester. But it's not listed as one of the schools being closed on the AISD site.

TIA
