Just fyi, for the people who drive on the roads in this city, if you’re on loop 1 or i35 and are going the speed limit or slower, STAY IN THE RIGHT OR MIDDLE LANE FOR FUCKS SAKE. I’m well aware there are crazy drivers in this city that probably won’t change but maybe if the slow pokes stay out of the left lane it can help just a smidge 🤏🏼 cuz when these lunatics are going 80 and above down the highway and some slow person is in the left lane, they then cut off the people in the middle or right lane just to go around the slow poke’s ass. That right there causes accidents (among other things) so please, PLEASE, unless you’re going at least 80 mph (which is crazy, I know) stay in the other lanes and let the ass wipes pass 🙏🏼 stay safe out there lol. Also, obviously the crazy people who speed are the main issue here, let me be clear.

Travelling to the game with a groups of guys in our mid 30s. Looking for a place to go post game in downtown Austin. Ideally somewhere we don’t have to wait / cannot to get in. We are travelling from out of country and love football so welcome any other suggestions to maximize our time in Austin.

Thnx!

COTALand, the new amusement park, is still saying "Opening Summer 2026." Still not open, still no opening date announced. Anyone got more information?

Something I’ve been curious about, especially in a city the size of Austin.

Texas allows eligible people to carry without an LTC, but knowing you’re legally allowed to carry and actually understanding where you can carry, prohibited locations, signage, use-of-force laws, and what happens during an interaction with law enforcement are two different things.

I run MyLTCTexas.com, so obviously I deal with LTC questions regularly. One thing I’ve noticed is that some people hear “permitless carry” and assume there’s really nothing else they need to learn.

For those of you in Austin who carry, do you think someone should still take an LTC course or some type of Texas carry-law training even if they have no intention of actually applying for the license?
Curious how Austin gun owners look at it.

Hey everyone- solo founder here. I come from a trades background and recently built an AI voice receptionist specifically for home service businesses like HVAC, chimney, and dryer vent companies.

The problem I kept seeing was pretty simple: owners are often on a job, driving between jobs, or closed for the day- so calls go to voicemail. And when someone needs an HVAC or chimney company, they often aren't leaving a voicemail. They just call the next company on Google.

So I built CatchLine AI as a backup.

When a business can't answer, it picks up the call, talks to the customer, collects their name, phone number, and what they need, and sends the information to the owner.

It's not meant to replace human office staff. It's simply there to catch the calls nobody is available to answer.

I'm still early with this, so I'm looking for 1–2 real businesses to test it for free and give me brutally honest feedback after using it with actual calls.

I'm not looking for a testimonial or trying to make a sale here. I want to know whether this is genuinely useful, where it falls short, and whether it's solving a problem that's actually worth solving.

If you run an HVAC, chimney, or dryer vent business and want to try it, I'd love to hear from you. Happy to answer questions or send over the demo number.

Ahoy hoy!!! Coming in this weekend for the MUSE concert. Looking for chill rooftops that may be playing good house music. Also looking for suggestions on tubing or kayaking at night to see the bats!! Appreciate any suggestions!!

A few reverends, Willemina Delco, Austin City council members and Capmetro bigwigs stole $5 million in funds for "housing" and produced NOTHING....they stole it all!
