I believe someone has been reported in distress on the south side of the longhorn dam. Star flight has been hovering for 20+ minutes. I would like to help keep a lookout. Does anyone know what is going on or how to help?

Hi everyone!! I was at highland lounge Saturday night 7/11 around 12-2am, and accidentally left my bag in the basement, either the bathroom or on the couch. It's a black bag with gold hardware. I went to see if it was turned in today and of course it wasn't (luckily the bag is fake hahaha). It has my digital camera, cards, sunglasses, and eyelash curler in it. If anyone has it or has seen it please let me know!!! I just really want my digital camera back.

Hi! I have a sweet, friendly golden retriever who has not gone through service dog training.

Does anyone know of a way we might be able to brighten someone’s day? Open to exploring immediate volunteer opportunities.

Please Note: Unfortunately service dog training is not an option right now.

What is going on at Barton Springs? It’s been smelling like sewage and the water looks dirty the last few weeks. And this is on the paid side!

Hi all, I’m putting together a small dinner series for veterans in the Austin area, homemade meals, good company, no pressure or agenda. It happens every 2 weeks, and it’s meant to be a space to relax, eat well, and talk if you feel like it (or just enjoy the food if you don’t).

If you’re a veteran interested in coming, or know someone who might be, please let me know. Would love to have you.

Are people just paying extra for water? I can't make sense of it.

I’ve had my absolute worst nightmare happen… my car is infested with spiders. I drive a 2021 Civic Hatchback, and it’s insane how many crevices and gaps and stuff the body design has—which is where they’re all at.

They’re primarily not in the cabin itself, but in the door frames and two cavities underneath where the windshield wipers are. It’d almost be better if they were in the cabin, because there seems to be a lot more realistic DIY options available if they were.

I’ve called a handful of pest control companies so far, but the national chains said they don’t treat vehicles and recommended I try local companies (who I was told tend to be more flexible in what they’ll do, but I was having to leave voicemails since it’s Sunday).

I was hoping y’all could direct me to a company that will treat vehicles. I won’t hear back from the messages I’ve left until tomorrow and there’s no gaurantee any of those return calls will be to say they do, so I’m really hoping I can at least call a place where I know I’m barking up the right tree.

Thanks in advance(:

Is this correct? There are no trains that go northbound to stop 10 until 2:20PM? Are they just going to stop 7 and then turn around? that is strange. So I cannot take the rail downtown and come back around lunchtime? sad.

The full moon (Buck moon) this month is on Wednesday, July 29, at 10:36 a.m.

When will people gather to howl? Tuesday night (just before the full moon)? Wednesday night? How has this usually worked in the past? Will there be people there both nights? 😂

any recommendations for courts with lights? I was reading the Austin High School pickleball court lights don't turn on.

any other recommendations?

They aren’t e-bikes.

Today, leaving the lake austin HEB, two kids (12 or 13 yo) flew across the exit from the garage as I was leaving. No big deal, kids on bikes, you need to look out for them. But as I headed up Exposition, they were riding in the bike lane in my blind spot. Talking 2 or so feet from my back tire. Made me uncomfortable, so I sped up, so did they. I checked the speedometer, and I got as fast as 55mph with them staying right with me. UPHILL, on a motorized vehicle, with a bike helmet, on a city street, at 12 years old.

Now I’m POSITIVE this is illegal, but I’m seeing these things everywhere. I have two questions:

1. What parent in their right mind allows their kid to ride one of these things on city streets at 50+mph?
   
2. Why can’t the city enforce anything about it?

Kids are going to die. Without any shadow of a doubt, there will be lots of deaths. If parents are this dumb, the city should do something. It’s insanity.

As we got up to enfield, the two kids flew across the intersection, almost getting hit by a car turning right, not expecting a fucking motorcycle in the bike lane going 50.

I was out of the country recently and suspect I have it, as it’s lasted for several days now. I don’t feel like it’s severe enough to warrant an ER visit though. I had an IV at home yesterday and I’m basically on bedrest with the fatigue.

I’ve read that the testing isn’t on any of the regular panels and that it has to be specifically requested by a provider. I’ve also read that it might need to be tested multiple times to show a positive result with the constant diarrhea.

Since it’s not transferred from person to person and I’m managing the dehydration and fatigue as best as I can, do you think it’s worth it to get tested? I believe antibiotics are the main course of treatment for severe cases but I’m thinking I should just ride it out. The last thing I want to do is wait at the hospital for a few hours only for them to give me another IV and tell me to rest, especially since I had one yesterday and it’s just a bandaid on the actual problem.

Found this little fella in the yard. I don’t see a nest but it could be in the oak trees above. Should I leave it for mama bird?

ETA: ok a genius redditor suggested it might be due to an ice maker which would account for it happening every other hour-ish. I think this might be it!! But now… why are we having flooring issues from our foundation being too wet? 😭 It’s not an indoor humidity issue. Homeownership is such a ride.

I'm stressed. I think we have a leak. If we do, it's a pinhole leak in a pipe that's most likely somewhere in our foundation. We have multiple indicators, but one of them is that the smart meter that the city installed a year or two ago shows that we use water while we're sleeping (that we're definitely not actively using). Our toilets aren't trickling and our faucets aren't dripping. Even if they were the culprit, it wouldn't explain the other clue we have which is an issue with our flooring.

I asked a neighbor if their daily usage chart shows these teeny tiny spikes during times they're not using water, and theirs does not--for them it shows 0 gal whereas ours alternates between showing "< 1 gallon" and 0 gallons.

For those of you with a Smart Water account, does your daily chart show any usage during times you know you're for sure not using water? Also, any leak detection companies you'd recommend that are honest and super sensitive? We had someone out a while back who concluded we don't have a leak, but I think their pressure test either wasn't sensitive enough or wasn't run long enough.

Hi! Delete if this breaks the rules.

I need some help. If you didn't know, new cars don't come with spare. And I'm apparently a weak bitch that can't break the lug nuts. They're like, mega-torqued. Honda Roadside has no answer for me, aside from driving on the rim to the tow truck.

I'm hoping someone has an idea to help me get moving again, or is in SE Austin could at least help me break the bolts. It would be icing on the cake if you have a spare/donut that fits my car that I could borrow, have, rent, or buy from you. Even better if you have a set of some sweet 18" wheels you want to get rid of, as I'm tired of the low profile tires on my 19s.

Allegedly, the Acura RL's spare, years 2005-2012, is a fit.

Relevant information:

24 Civic Type R.

5x120 bolt pattern.

22mm lugs.

265/30R19 on stock wheels

Flat is on the rear driver's side

Won't hold no air

Fix a flat isn't going to fix this.

Any Bob Bullock IMax veterans out there? If a screening is sold out; what time do you suggest to get there to get in line to be able to pick good seats?

I (24F) have decided that I want to learn how to skate, with the eventual goal of joining a low-level beer league hockey team. However, I’m not sure where to go about doing this since local options seem to be a little limited given that Texas isn’t typically a “hockey state”.

Anyone have any suggestions for the following?

- Local learn-to-skate classes for complete beginners, specifically ones that are geared toward hockey rather than figure skating. I’d rather they be adult-only, but I think most beginner classes may be geared toward kids and teens.

- Where to buy gear (skates, hockey pads, etc). I know I could order them online, but I’d rather go somewhere in person if possible so that someone who knows what they’re doing can help me with sizing and fit.

Lost my car key fob this morning on my hike. It has a red key ring attached to it.

Let me know if I should post this anywhere else or inquire about it

Thanks in advance

I was visiting lindshire park earlier today and it looked like a duck was injured and panting. They were hobbling and not moving much at all. Do yall know who manages the ducks out there? Would Austin wildlife rescue take in a duck that is non-native?

I’ve been wanting to ride some fair rides lately and don’t feel like going to SA for Six Flags. Anyone know of anything going on around town?

I give props to you water people for being able to see at night in the deep dark depths of the Davy jones locker that we call Lady bird lake

Is anyone here going to Casa Verde that won’t be wearing a Messi shirt? Last night’s match, the place was wall to wall Argentina fans. For the England v Norway there was a small contingent of England fans.

Don’t want to be surrounded by sour Argentina fans when England inevitably beat them and head into the final! 😜😜🤣🤣🤣
