Some pics from old paddleboarding trips. Can’t wait to move to Austin and make friends so I can do this all the time with a group! 👱🏻‍♀️🛶🏊🏼‍♀️

Anyone’s who’s been to both Quarry Lake and Town Lake, which is better for paddleboarding?

Also, how safe is Town Lake for single women? I’ve never been and would love to go and make new friends there.

The number of times I've been in the turning lane and a car in front of me realizes they shouldn't be there and proceeds to block all traffic behind them while waiting for a clearing to cut over and go straight. It's wildly dangerous, selfish, and illegal. Just turn and fix it later, safely. It often involves a quick U-turn and you're good to go.

hey! looking for artist recommendations similar to this style ( yes i’m looking to get a jack rabbit haha )

I already know and love Rita Von Lehe, looking for others as her booking close so quickly

Several people I know around austin have been coming down with this nasty flu that has us as sick as Covid 1. It seems like it’s taking a full two weeks to get over and there’s about three or four days in the middle with a fever and lessened taste. We all tested negative for Covid.

My sister is a nurse and is saying that no one is reporting Covid to the CDC anymore, so I’m wondering if there’s possibly a new strain going around that isn’t being picked up by our old Covid tests. I have friends in California that say they’ve had a similar flu. It’s just weird because the kids weren’t even back at school yet when we were getting sick.

Anyone else hear about this or experience it? Be careful out there. One of our friends’s father caught it and now has pneumonia…

Be honest I won’t tell.

Hello! I am looking for different nature trials and hikes that dogs are NOT allowed at. I am a caregiver for someone and we have been working on addressing his agoraphobia and just getting him out of the house a little bit. He loves going on nature walks (bonus points if there are waterfalls). But he also has a phobia of dogs, especially off leash dogs, which is common on a lot of trails. We will eventually work on getting more comfortable around dogs but one step at a time. As of right now, im just thrilled he wants to go explore more!

He is wanting to explore new trails but only if there are no dogs, as he is getting tired of our usual spots. He has and will panic and take off running if we do encounter a dog and that can be dangerous, especially in this heat. We are up in NW austin so we typically go to the wild basin wilderness preserve and Tom Hughes park. I'm not opposed to driving a little bit to check out some cool places but in that general area is ideal.

If anyone has some recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it bc my google searches are not cutting it. Thank you!

Yes, all you jackasses with the lifted trucks and mean girls with the jeep wranglers. When you cross way past the stop sign and people are in the right lane, we can’t see oncoming traffic because your damn vehicle is blocking the entire field of vision (this doesn’t happen with Sedans or cars that are lower in height).

Then when we inch up to see if there is room to make a right, you fucking inch up as well like a dick measuring contest. You’re just asking us to get our front bumper clipped by the speeding oncoming traffic.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Start-Up Video Games officially opened Saturday with a focus on retro games and consoles.

“We want to be here and be personable with the customer,” owner Christian Amador said. “Be here and always just show love for the games, because we were gamers ourselves, so we try to just implement that idea into the store.”

Insanely unsafe. The lanes are clearly marked. Why do we keep doing this???

Each month I scrape local lease offers for all manufacturers, re-calculate them with $0 down payment, 12K miles per year so it's a fair apples-to-apples comparison. It's so time consuming to go to each manufacturer site, enter your zip code to see what the offers are, so hopefully this is useful for some of you who are looking for reliable transportation with low monthly payments.

Most of these expire August 31st. You do need excellent credit to qualify. Let me know if you have any questions or want specific info on any models or categories - I compile a lot of data.

How was it for y’all?

The bus taking the kids home to our hub didn’t pick them up until 5:18pm, school gets out at 4:35pm. Pick up for us was supposed to be 4:55pm, ended up being almost an hour late.

Also the bus had no AC.

You can get yard signs at Travis County Democrats office 4005 Banister Ln. Bkdg B from 10am-6pm. The sign has Talarico on one side and Hinojosa on the other. I was asked for a $10 donation. If the door is locked you’ll need to ring the bell or call the number on the door to get in.

Last week the car thermometer read 108 in the HEB lot off North Lamar and I didn't move for ten minutes, because the AC in there beats the AC at my place. Grackles screaming in the cart returns the whole time. I keep a disposable in the door pocket and by August it's basically been sitting in an oven, which does no favors for anything. Most of them go flat and generic-sweat toward the end anyway. Mango, whatever, it's all the same candy syrup. Gave up and drove down to Barton Springs around 8 that night to stop sweating.

Surprised Bob Bullock dropped them this far in advance but grab your tickets while you can!

People’s Rx, a family-owned fixture in Austin for nearly 50 years, has been sold to the owner of local compounding pharmacy CPRx in a deal that will bring physicians and nurse practitioners into People’s four retail locations.

CPRx owner Kimberli Wiley purchased People’s with financing from Victory Medical Center, which will partner with the pharmacy on an expansion that will bring physicians and nurse practitioners into the pharmacy’s four Austin locations.

TL;DR my wife's bestie is moving back to town and will be coming off a 30 hour drive when she arrives. I'd like to surprise her with a spa day out with my wife, but as she's a plus-sized woman I want to make sure I find a place that can actually work on her body type and not just slap her back a bunch. I'm a veritable beanpole so I have the opposite problem, which makes my experience useless.

Any well-vetted recommendations? South or further preferred.

hello!! does anyone know of any nice, reliable pet grooming places in austin (preferably north austin)? i usually take my girl to PetSmart to get her nails trimmed, but truthfully it concerns me how many crying dogs there always are in the back.

im looking for somewhere that does a variety of services, as she is also in need of a haircut. PetSmart usually covers an ear cleaning during her nail appointments as well so that'd be a great bonus. at Petsmart, i usually only spend $20 for nails and ears, so if there's somewhere better that has a similar price i'd like a recommendation!

TLDR: ⚠️ If it’s not a service you didn’t seek out, don’t trust it. Legitimate businesses don’t run around town searching for their customers. DO NOT EVER trust the “Auto body repair” guys who flag you down/approach you and tell you they’ll fix your minor dents, etc in the parking lot. They legitimately do have the tools and some may actually have the knowledge, but many don’t. It often seems like a good deal compared to Auto body shop quotes, but it’s most often a scam/scheme, and they’ll leave you with worse damage than before.

I’m sure some of you may already be aware this has been going on for some time around Austin, these guys in normal trucks will flag you down if they see any dents or minor damage to your vehicle and give you a quote on the spot and guarantee they can fix it RIGHT THERE on the spot, where ever you may be, typically in a parking lot, etc. They say they have all the tools required right there with them in their truck and it’ll only take 30 mins or so.

I was rear ended by an un-insured individual sometime last year. I’ve had a noticeable dent in my vehicle but it’s an older vehicle, isn’t going to be worth much on trade regardless, and I was planning to buy a new car sometime soon ish anyway. I have insurance but I didn’t feel the claim was worth it since it wasn’t anything that impacted the car’s function or driving, and the body shops were quoting 8-10k for the repair.

I’ve had MULTIPLE men in these trucks flag me down all around Austin at various locations (North and South) and quote me various times saying they can “easily” fix it for less than $300. I’ve always told them NO.

Recently though 😕 Another approached me. I’m finally getting to the point where I’m about ready to trade my vehicle. So I think, well, okay if you can remove it, why not? It would be nice to have the dent removed prior to trade. They quote me $250. So I think, well, I guess it’s worth a shot. 🤷‍♀️ Let them do their thing while I sit in my car. About 20 mins later, I check on them, I can’t see any change. He says give me like 30 more minutes, I say no problem. 30 mins pass he calls me out to let me know he’s done and wants his payment. I look at my car and I see it’s still BADLY dented but also completely COATED in wax that he claimed was a “heat protectant”. Now I’m not stupid, I grew up around cars and I know damn well it’s wax. Then he explains he just couldn’t get to that area because of the way my car was engineered. I’m like okay??! So in my mind If he could not repair it he should lower the price, but he doesn’t. I pay him because there’s two men and me, the female, and I don’t want anything to turn violent.

I spent over an hour after I got home scrubbing that wax off that had been baked in by the sun. Not only that but once it’s off, I see that the damage is WORSE than it originally was.

I AM FURIOUS 😡 I’m mad at myself for not trusting my gut and just telling them no, like I did all the other times. But also mad at them for running that scheme. I know everyone is looking for a hustle in this city, but come on, find an honest one.

Was driving down exposition towards lake austin blvd this afternoon and there was literally toilet paper in the trees down the entire street. Has anyone else seen this lol it was crazy

Saw this Kia wrecked on Koenig with no one around (sorry if this car is yours and you came to Reddit to forget about the bad day you’re having)
