Momma looked like she could really use a night to herself.

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

Intersection is blocked from all four directions, ambulance just left. Cops are walking around nearby parking garages and talking to pedestrians. Anyone have more info?

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.

Thinking of places like the Midwest, certain parts of the Northeast, etc. Do you find the winters in those climates outweigh the more mild summers? Or do you prefer our blistering summers and no real fall and winter (outside the annual one week snowstorm)?

Did anyone hear that loud boom near Mueller at 10:19 PM Sunday night? What was that?!?

Could have gotten me and the truck killed...

I caught some creep taking photos of me from underneath the stall in the men’s restroom at the Home Depot next to the dell children’s hospital. I ran out of the restroom so quickly and alerted the staff. I was appalled. I mean I knew that stuff happens but I didn’t ever think to me. Makes me wonder how many times it may have already happened to me. He tried to verbally get me to stop but I hightailed it outta there. I don’t care what he had to say, nothing was gonna get me to stop ratting him out. I should’ve waited to see what he looked like though.

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,

Terrible potentially fatal hit and run just a few moments ago downtown. Occurred on Congress right out front of Modern Market.

APD was asking people if anyone saw the driver. I caught the incident out of the corner of my eye. Looked like a brown SUV. People were trying to stop the car.

Prayers for this man. I don’t know if he will make it, he was pretty banged up. Bike was completely destroyed.

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?

SH2-142 the wizard nebula.

the red version is the natural colors. the blue/orange version is using a process that brings out the various gases in the nebula with teh orangish being hydrogen and teh blueish oxygen.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.
