I'm new here and saw this guy near Radix coffee today in South Austin. Anyone know what he's all about haha

Do you agree? It’s on E. 11th. Basically in front of the stop light next to feeder and with ongoing construction. I’ve called their support team numerous times to complain about this, since there are several side streets the Waymo can pull into that would be a safer alternative than this. Who else can I talk to about this??

I’m usually setting the AC stat around 74-75, but wondering if that is futile. Seems sorta unreasonable to set the thermostat 40 degrees lower than the outside temperature. What about y’all? How are we keeping our homes cool today/for the rest of the week?

Sorry if this has been said before but can we take a moment to complain about ARC?

Why is there no direct to clinic number?
Why does it usually take 45-60 min to get a human being on the line?
Why do they transfer you so quickly to another person for more hold instead of ever trying to help solve your problems?

— i wanna find another provider but then they have SO many specialties & I like my PCP and their my chart stuff all being connected is amazing.

Someone rage with me for a moment pls

The city of Austin could lower Lake Austin for the first time in nearly a decade this fall — but city officials remain unconvinced that drawing down the lake would help control an infestation of invasive hydrilla that plagues the waterway.

Is this a glitch?

Guy sped up to pass me on 2769 near Bullick Hollow and lost control around a curve and slammed into a tree. His car practically exploded. Some people helped him out while waiting for emergency services. He appeared unharmed despite the accident. The tree he hit fell over shortly after and needed to be cut apart to clear the road. It's crazy how much people underestimate those curves.

The City of Austin has a program to help you update your HVAC and general energy efficiency. Take this survey and get in touch with an assessor.

If you get an inspection and follow through with one of the City's approved contractors, you're eligible for potentially a few thousand bucks in rebates and a 0% loan through Velocity Credit Union: https://www.velocitycu.com/loans/austin-energy/

I have no affiliation with any of these programs but I'm a client who is about to update my home. Overall estimates I've gotten are around $20k for a 1,400 square foot home with ancient HVAC equipment, including ductwork that has disintegrated over the years.

Or rather, what possibly caused this cloud formation? From morning run in Austin at Artist Run Club. 🏃‍♀️🎨

I've been with Ascension for 17 years. I will say that I've been fortunate to work for departments that have really wonderful managers, and I've moved through the ranks with great mentorship to guide me along. The current group for is great, I work from home full time and enjoy autonomy and flexibility in my role. That said, I find myself curiously looking at other companies to see what the possibilities are. I don't dislike my job, I just crave something new, and wouldn't mind the bump in salary that a new opportunity usually comes with. My background is primarily finance and treasury; forecasting, approving budgets, account management, etc. and I'm currently in Senior Finance role earning $100k, for reference.

Leaving Ascension feels scary. I want to hear from you if you genuinely enjoy working for the company you are employed with. And I wouldn't mind a heads up from those of you who can tell me which companies to stay far, far away from either! :)

The Austin school district is making plans to close Paredes Middle School after district leaders concluded the campus is expected to receive a fourth consecutive failing accountability rating from the state for the 2025-26 school year, according to a statement posted Wednesday by employee union Education Austin. The decision comes just months after Superintendent Matias Segura pledged to avoid additional school closures. https://austincurrent.org/2026/07/22/austin-austinisd-school-closure-paredes-middle-school/

I got my property tax protest back from Five Stone today. They dropped it 14% from initial to final appraised value. East Austin. What y’all get?
