TXTransfer.org is the most important tool nobody tells you about. Verify EVERY course transfers before you take it. I lost 6 credit hours because I didn't check.

Gold's Gym Mockingbird is the best lifting gym in Dallas. Real equipment, serious atmosphere, fair price. Dallas-born brand too.

CrossFit Feral in Fort Worth has produced several athletes who've made it to the CrossFit Games. If you're competitive, this is the box.

BBB Scam Tracker is underrated. Search any phone number or business name and see if others have reported it.

"Please learn to merge" should be on the DFW welcome sign instead of whatever they have now.

Korean noraebang > American karaoke bars. Having your own room changes everything. No waiting for your turn. No singing in front of 50 strangers.

Construction on 35 has been happening since before I was born and will continue after I die. It is eternal. It is forever.

Terminal D is a zoo right now. Every gate is full. People sitting on the floor everywhere.

I-35E through Oak Cliff is brutal. The Zang Blvd detour works but adds 10 minutes and way more traffic lights.

21 points

Oak Cliff Library is open as a cooling center too. They have water and snacks for evacuees.

Texas and A&M spending $10M+ per year on NIL while UNT spends under $1M. That is not competition. That is a different sport entirely.

Airport Uber runs from DFW are the play. Wait in the lot, grab a $30+ ride to Plano or downtown. Repeat. Can make $35-40/hour during peak times.

ShotSpotter is controversial but the data suggests faster response to gunfire incidents. ACLU has concerns about false activations though.

Oddfellows patio on a spring morning in Bishop Arts is peak Dallas living.

Until Arsenal actually win the league, this is all theoretical. City have won it 6 of the last 7 times. Sustained dominance vs. promising seasons.

Moving the line back would help but it would also make Steph Curry even more dominant. He already shoots from 30 feet. Adding 2 feet to the line just eliminates everyone who is not elite from range.

If you just moved here and "never had allergies before" — give it one year. DFW will find your weakness.

Always always always look at the OUT-THE-DOOR number. Monthly payment negotiation is how they pack thousands in extra costs.

Lemonade is absurdly easy. Signed up in 3 minutes on my phone. $11/month. Filed a claim for a stolen bicycle and got paid in 48 hours.

36 points

Peacock Premium is mandatory. $6/month for almost every match. There is no reason to pirate streams when the legal option is this cheap.

12 points

Johnson Creek in Design District/West Dallas floods regularly. I've seen cars floating on Sylvan Ave. Beautiful area but research the water.

17 points

AirTag under the seat is the move. Wrap it in electrical tape and zip-tie it inside the seat tube. Invisible.

16 points

Legacy Hall food hall is great for groups where nobody can agree on what to eat. 20+ options under one roof.

25 points

Y'all are making me regret not buying tickets. Is there a way to get notified when Kessler drops new shows?
