The AG child support calculator is useful but doesn't account for everything. Medical insurance, daycare costs, and special needs expenses are calculated separately.

AAC playoff atmosphere is underrated. Stars and Mavs playoff games are the loudest events in DFW.

Cowtown Christmas Market at Will Rogers is massive. 200+ vendors. Budget 3-4 hours to walk the whole thing.

The Consumer Confidence Report is eye-opening. Found out my water provider in a Denton County subdivision had elevated nitrate levels. Switched to a filtration system.

Bishop Arts is gentrifying so fast the character that made it special is slowly disappearing. Get there while it still feels like itself.

Verstappen winning with the slower car for half the season is what separates him. He extracted every possible point from an inferior package.

I was at Parks Mall around that time. Didnt see anything but checking my dashcam now.

The lack of attention Usyk gets compared to his achievements is criminal. If he were American or British, he would be the biggest star in boxing.

The "bootcamp teaches you 20%" stat is accurate. You learn enough to get a job and then learn the rest on the job. Don't expect to walk out as a senior engineer.

AT&T pension + tech salary is an underrated combo. The company has issues but that defined benefit retirement plan is worth $500K+ over a career.

Greenville Ave is completely shut down from Ross to Mockingbird basically. Take Henderson.

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.

Door-to-door charity solicitation in DFW is almost always a scam. Legitimate charities don't send randos to your door.

Common Desk in Deep Ellum is my remote office. $250/month for a dedicated desk, fast wifi, and human interaction. Worth every penny for mental health.

Kwik Kar on any major road will have you in and out in 15 minutes for inspection. $7 state fee. Don't let shops charge you more than that for the inspection itself.

Mi Cocina mambo taxis are $14 now. FOURTEEN DOLLARS for a frozen margarita. This city is losing its mind.

Jokic looking unathletic while being the most dominant player in basketball is my favorite thing in sports. He proves that skill, IQ, and vision can beat raw athleticism.

Dallas Arboretum Cool Thursdays is technically $15 but you get full garden access + concert. Bring a picnic, a bottle of wine, and watch the sunset. Worth it.

26 points

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

Went for a birthday. Omakase was transcendent. Not an everyday spot but for a special occasion it's unmatched in DFW.

Silva vs. GSP at a catchweight of 178 would have been the biggest fight in UFC history. Two GOATs. It makes me angry it never happened.

14 points

DWU said on Nextdoor that boil water notice may be issued for this area. Fill up containers now just in case.

HypeAuditor flagged a DFW "lifestyle influencer" we were about to work with. 62% fake followers. Saved us $2,000 in product.

Toyota "continuous improvement" questions: have 3 stories ready about how you improved a process. They live and breathe kaizen.
