Skip the places with "Mexican Grill" in the name. Find the places with handwritten specials on the whiteboard. That's where the real food is.

Pro tip: photograph every flaw in your house. Cracked foundation, old roof, stained carpet, outdated kitchen. Bring photos to the hearing. Condition matters.

Pool membership was the best $200 I ever spent. June through September I'm there 4 days a week after work.

Rowlett PD was at the lot yesterday morning when I parked. Good to see increased presence. Hopefully they catch whoever is doing this before more people get hit.

Another reason to pay attention to what's happening locally.

Alliance Dallas competition team is legit. they show up to every NAGA and IBJJF event in the region with a deep squad and consistently medalist. if you want to compete with a strong team behind you, this is the gym

Living in Houston gives you a different lens on this. Appreciate the thread.

Following this thread. Want to hear more takes.

It's both. It's a tourist trap AND it's good. Those things can coexist. The prices are high but the quality is real.

This is exactly why I love this platform. Real DFW conversations.

I use Waze and the school zone speed trap has been reported there every day this week. People are catching on but the enforcement should be permanent, not just a two-week campaign.

This is exactly why I love this platform. Real DFW conversations.

Living in Dallas-Fort Worth gives you a different lens on this. Appreciate the thread.

nah bro leg locks are cheese at white belt. you need to learn fundamentals first — guard passing, escapes, sweeps. a white belt who only hunts heel hooks is going to have huge holes in their game

It's not theater. Something like 60-70% of people who protest get a reduction. The appraisal district overshoots on purpose because they know most people won't protest. Don't be most people.

everything in this list is correct but the most important one is HYGIENE. i have kicked people off my mat for coming to class with dirty gis. its not about being mean — a dirty gi can literally give the whole class a skin infection. wash your gear

The fudge and the jerky are genuinely high quality. Everything else is overpriced gas station food with cute packaging. Fight me.

Interesting history. I always wondered why the city boundaries had those weird fingers stretching along certain roads. Now I know — they were grabbing commercial corridor frontage.

one thing i would add: dont try to learn from youtube before you learn from your coach. youll show up trying stuff you dont understand and confuse yourself. trust the curriculum for the first 6 months at least

the shoes on the mat thing cannot be emphasized enough. your shoes were in the bathroom. the bathroom floor has bacteria. the mat is where your FACE goes. shoes on mat = face in bacteria. this is basic hygiene and i still see new people do it

the callout to actual fight timeline being 4-8 months is depressing but accurate. by the time the fight happens half the fanbase has forgotten the original callout. MMA has a shelf life problem with its drama

The brisket sandwich is legitimately good for what it is. Is it better than a dedicated BBQ joint? No. Is it the best food you can get without leaving a gas station parking lot? Absolutely.

Property taxes in Texas make this conversation even more complicated.

The geocaching idea is genius. Downloaded the app and took my 8-year-old to Pecan Grove Park. We found 3 caches in an hour and he was SO excited. Free entertainment that gets them outside and off screens.

Location within Austin changes everything. North vs south is two different markets.

Headway is the real answer here. I was spinning my wheels calling offices and getting voicemails. Headway matched me with a therapist in Rockwall who takes my UHC and I had my first session in 8 days.
