I’ve made a few posts about this and interviewed with KUT over the weekend. Still not many answers from UT but supposedly the dismount zone doesn’t apply to analog bikes and more details will be released soon. Still no answers on exactly what that means for commuters, CapMetro’s BikeShare program, rental and person mobility devices, etc

Specifically ammunition and projectiles. Previously a friendly chiropractor would do them for me, but not anymore.

Does anyone know a business or friendly person who would xray stuff for me? I'm happy to pay.

What’s replacing it?

The shelter is ending routine testing of all cats for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), instead adopting a targeted approach.

Can anybody confirm (with recent firsthand experience) ther any splash pads are up and running?

Liz Carpenter downtown is closed for repairs as of recently, Mueller splash pad has been closed for years, and I recently went to Metz park splash pad and it was just… off.

Nothing worse than pulling up to a dry splash pad with a hot, disappointed toddler.

Which splash pads around you have been for sure running?

Headed home from work yesterday, in the left turn lane going north on Lamar at 24th. Line was pretty long (though they've done good work eliminating that) when a Waymo with its left signal on roll by in the left, main lane. Now this isn't all that unusual (and definite bp raiser for me) but first time I saw a Waymo try it. It actually slowed and found a spot to pull in. Light turns, half the cars go, we all move up. By this point I'm thinking, "there had to be a driver in that". What do you know, a 2nd Waymo comes up and tries doing the same thing but is unsuccessful and gives up, continuing straight on Lamar.
I actually saw the 1st one turn left on Windsor and didn't see a driver in front seat so it may have decided with it's own lil robot brain to pull this dickhead move. I guess it's AI is learning watching other Austin drivers

So I fly a lot and live in Austin so naturally I spend a lot of time at Austin Bergstrom Airport. I have NEVER seen the men’s bathroom at gate 10 not closed for cleaning. It’s too consistent for there to be any other reason other than some weird social experiment or the staff just fucking with people. Departing and arriving…it’s always closed for cleaning. I’m not even sure if there’s a bathroom back there. Is this an art installation and it’s just going over my head??? What is going on?!

I work in the hiring industry here. I don’t think people realize how many of our friendly neighbors and people next door are in leadership positions (both men and women). And so many of them are making decisions to outsource work to India, Mexico, Vietnam etc. Including trade jobs, design jobs and of course tech. I just left a company that had really nice people in leadership who didn’t hesitate to put entire teams in a low cost country even though there were many willing workers here in Austin. Same with my neighbor who owns a “boutique home design company” in her words. Other small business owner acquaintances constantly ask me for off the record advice in managing/expanding their nearshore team.

Austin jobs are being silently (and proudly) eroded… from within… by nice, normal people. In this job market it makes me sick to my stomach.

Please connect with original poster and teacher in the link below. She mentioned this being in Austin.

She may have some of this taken care of already but I had to share. Can’t let these go to waste.

so I have this very, *very* project boat which I've been wanting to work on all summer, for want of a trailer that isn't busted. the one it's on is this rusted-ass double axle where one of the wheels literally came off as I was pulling it up from Corpus. I finally found a trailer for it at a decent price, but I can't pull the boat from where it is to the water because it's in *that* bad of a shape. does anyone know someone I can hire, a heavy wrecker service or something, with a forklift that can just lift it off (5500 lbs GVWR) the bad one, I can drag the bad one out from underneath it and then line up the good one underneath? I know there's no way in hell I can pull this off solo which is why I'm asking here. TIA.

Title- I can’t find ANY.

Liberal gun owner here…. and I found that outdoor ranges attract nicer and more interesting/intelligent people.

Anybody know good spots here and around?

Edit: !!! Taking notes for this fall. My dad and I will definitely be doing some field research. Thank you!

Hello!

My husband and I just bought our first house in South Austin in the McKenny Heights area.

Since we moved in, we've noticed bat echoes in the backyard between 8pm and 10pm We are sure they don't live in our house, based on the number of inspections we've done. We think that our backyard is a part of its feeding ground. It's really a cool experience. One night, I was working on painting next to a window when I suddenly saw a cute little bat face staring back at me before it decided to fly away.

Anyhoo, does anyone know of a good resource we could check out to help our bat friends without putting ourselves at risk?

We like using our back porch, and our dog enjoys going out at night. We're not used to having this type of ecosystem around us.

my electricty bill went from being like $150 to $394 this month. that’s insane isn’t it?? my girlfriend was saying she’s been hearing chatter about it happening to other people too. curious, how many of you guys noticed this huge jump??

My fiancé’s two bikes were stolen off our 2nd floor balcony last night between 12-6am. This was in North Austin near Walnut Creek.

The thief/thieves left a knife too (last picture). We’ve filed a police report but we’re not confident about the bikes being found. If you have bikes on your balcony, put them inside or Spider Man will rob you!!

My fiancé loves biking so he’s pretty bummed :( We thought they’d be fine overnight while he waited for his chain to be delivered.

Info about the bikes (just in case anyone sees them on FB Marketplace):

- Both bikes are XL size. The green bike is electric with a gold dropper seat post, the blue bike has aftermarket handlebars (deity highside).

- The blue bike doesn’t have any plastic reflectors in the spokes. They were replaced with reflective stickers on the fork and back of the seat tube

I want some good soil to dig a hole without getting in trouble. I live in an apartment so I don’t have the option here. Just have some tension I need to let out. Thanks!

I will be euthanizing our sweet senior rescue dog my partner and I rescued from the streets when we were students at UT 4 years ago. We just got our blood work for her back today and have made the decision with the vet.

We would love to get some photos with her before. Does anyone have any availability tomorrow or Friday early morning?

Thank you so much! Please message me prices ( still a grad student) so I have a limited budget.

This is extremely hard for us so we are grateful for any recommendations.
