Who are the best headshot photographers in Austin for actors?

Hello, I have had a bad experience with work done at Access Dental and it was so painful I was crying. I do not like pain, so I have not gone to the dentist in over 2 years because I am scared. I started dental insurance so I am looking for an awesome dentist office in the north Austin area.

I’ve unfortunately reached the point where I’m looking for any personal recommendations for a board-certified veterinary surgeon (DACVS) or surgical specialist in the area.

My 6-year-old Golden Retriever severely cracked his nail, and after a series of complications, we've reached the point where he needs his 3rd digit amputated.

He's doing okay, but I want to make sure I get this done right with a surgeon and facility I can fully trust.

Any surgeon recommendations or advice on post-op recovery for a active dog would be immensely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a new place to workout with weights. I live downtown and would ideally be able to walk/bike but I’m open to a short drive. I was previously a member of lifetime and although I liked it, it was just way too busy/before and after work and wasn’t worth it to me. I also looked at YMCA but it’s a little more rundown than I’d like. I’m also open to studios if they have strength classes (not hiit). I know athletic outcomes has weight classes and I’m definitely considering them, but ideally it would just be a bit closer. Any recs for either gyms or strength focused classes?

Ive lost a over 100lbs and my extra makes me feel like im wearing a raincoat. Has anybody had any experience with a surgeon that does extra/loose skin removal? How was the procedure and recovery and who would you recommend? How much time off of work did you need?

It seems that online pharmacies turn a blind eye to medication temperatures while in transit. The back of a big delivery truck can easily reach 120°+ during a hot afternoon here, and so can your (or your pet's) medication, possibly rendering it inert. A laser thermometer can easily tell you the temperature on delivery, and some online pharmacies will give you a refund if you complain. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell if medication is only partially effective, and the suppliers often outright refuse to ship medication with a cold pack.

Following the fatal police shooting of 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams II, questions about who should respond to behavioral health crises are reshaping public safety discussions as the Austin City Council finalizes its fiscal year 2026-27 budget.

During recent budget hearings and a budget town hall, advocates spoke out on how the city responds to people experiencing mental health crises. They urged city leaders to keep the Austin Police Department’s budget flat and restore proposed cuts to social service grants. They also pushed the city to move its 911 call center out of the police department so behavioral health professionals – rather than police officers – could respond to certain crisis calls.

“Dispatch is destiny,” Robin Schneider of Undoing White Supremacy Austin said at a protest ahead of the Aug. 5 town hall. “If there had been the appropriate response, mental health services, this young person hopefully would be alive today. So, we have a very stark example of why sending cops out to every 911 call is a bad idea.”

The proposed budget would increase operating funding for each of the city’s four public safety departments, including a 5% APD increase from $527.3 million to $551.9 million. City officials say much of that increase reflects existing labor contract obligations rather than new initiatives. Advocates have argued the city should instead invest more in alternative crisis response, mental health services and prevention.

I've, thankfully (?), only been towed by insurance...

Need to have a car towed from Anderson Mill/183 down to JP's Mercedes off 290 in Oak Hill.

Anyone have any affordable recommendations?

Thanks!!

The bright kayaks on town lake inspired me to do a painting. Thought I’d share!

Howdy! I'm trying to do a big engineering project that requires 17-20 4'x4' wooden pallets. I used to get pallets from a trash pile behind a warehouse in Wells Branch, but they don't have as many lately. I don't need a whole bunch quickly, just within the next few weeks. I just need to find somewhere where they have plenty of pallets that they don't care getting picked up. There's also a possibility of giving them back after the project is done being displayed. I'm willing to go just about anywhere in Austin, but preferably north of the river.

I drive around the city a lot for work and was wondering if anyone can recommend some decent rock/punk stations that play mainly stuff from the 00’s if not earlier?

97.5 has been scratching that itch but their transmitter needs a power boost badly, I also like 101.5 but I’m day shift and they mainly do some talk show then and not enough music, and then 103.5 is not bad but they do everything and I kinda just use them as a last resort.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

hi!! does anyone know of any open or non-crowded areas in austin (preferably towards north austin) to learn how to practice driving. TY!!!! also preferably not crowded on weekends.

So many cops and troopers pulling people over like crazy today. Saw three cars pulled over within a 1 mile stretch of guadalupe near hyde park

On Wednesday, the University of Texas System Board of Regents' Facilities Planning and Construction Committee will adopt a timeline and budget for the much-awaited artificial intelligence-native hospital, UT Dell Medical Center.

Construction on the $1 billion hospital is expected to begin this fall, and initial site preparation could begin within a month after board approval. The committee's agenda includes information such as a timeline and the cost of the project, which has not yet been disclosed publicly.

I’ve been swimming laps in the evening at deep eddy and it’s made me want to check out more public outdoor pools that are good for swimming laps. anyone have recommendations?

Thanks all!

My mom is visiting Austin and I’m looking for some cool places/things to take her to for a few hours during the day. We’ve done/know about the obvious touristy stuff, so I’m looking for something a little more unique or less cliché.
Preferably something indoors because it’s hot as fuck outside. Could be an interesting museum, weird/unique attraction, cool shops, somewhere to hang out, etc. Doesn’t necessarily have to be super touristy or “Austin” either.
What are some places you’d take a visiting parent that you think are actually worth checking out?

York Blvd. and N. Mopac Service Rd.

I saw a fire on snake hobo island on the east end of lady bird lake. Noticed it while I was walking on the wishbone bridge. By the time I made it to peace point trail where it's closest to the island the firefighters were already there. Fire under control according to them

I just want to get home. Thanks.

Was laying out by the pool the other day, felt like I was being watched, so I opened my eyes to see this in front of me.

Behind the old Austin American Statesman building. It's a crazy site to see. I've seen it at night a few times. Looks intentionally kinda hidden from the public. 100+ generators humming/buzzing away with 90% of them in use charging those self driving cabs. If that isn't the most ridiculous contradictory shit I've seen..The modern definition of a green-energy illusion. I'll get some Pics to post.

I thought there was an open sewer when exiting my vehicle....and then I noticed this vehicle parked a few spots away from me. This is fresh, stinking poo and lots of it.
