BikeIndex actually works. My stolen bike was spotted by a bike shop employee in Oak Cliff 3 weeks later. Got it back.

The overlap of Cowboys, Mavs, Stars, and college football in October-November is peak DFW sports.

Conservice billing adds $35/month to my "utilities" on top of the actual charges. That's $420/year in pure fees.

People said the same thing about McGregor after the Aldo KO. Won the belt, never defended at 145, moved up, and his featherweight reign was one fight. Let Topuria defend before we crown him.

The factory is the key variable. Newey can design a brilliant car but if the team cannot build it precisely and develop it through the season, the design means nothing.

After-hours nurse line saved us 3 ER visits in our first year. Every new parent should confirm their pediatrician has one.

Women Who Code DFW meetups are the best networking in the city. Got my current job through a connection I made at a meetup. Free to attend.

CatClamp saved mine. They tried and the alarm went off. Could see them on my Ring camera giving up and moving to the next car.

Texas Instruments tenure is insane. Average employee stays 10+ years. That tells you everything about the culture.

The May 2025 Mesquite flooding destroyed 200+ homes. Most of those homeowners had NO flood insurance because they weren't in a FEMA zone. Flooding doesn't follow maps.

#6 is the one nobody warns you about. I never had allergies in my life. First spring in DFW I thought I had a permanent cold. Nope. Just oak pollen.

The high school personality thing is SO specific to DFW. "I went to Southlake Carroll" cool dude that was 2013.

USA Bowl near Love Field is what bowling should be. Cheap, no pretension, good lanes. Real bowlers go here.

The number 1 recruiting class producing a 5-7 season is the most damning stat in the entire assessment. You cannot recruit better than everyone and lose to App State at home.

The jousting is real full-contact and it's genuinely thrilling. Not a choreographed show — actual competition. Best live entertainment value in DFW.

Dallas Animal Services is at capacity almost year-round. They desperately need adopters and fosters. Even temporary fostering saves lives.

They will get a fine and a slap on the wrist. The Premier League cannot afford to lose Manchester City. The TV deal money, the global brand, the Guardiola effect. Follow the money.

Always check the door jamb sticker. If it says the car was made in a different year than the title, walk away immediately.

Four Day Weekend is the most consistently fun thing to do in Fort Worth. I've taken people there 6 times and it's never been bad.

Trinity Groves solves the "where should we eat" argument because everyone can get different food. Big brain move.

Piastri is going to surpass Norris within 2 years. Mark this post. His ceiling is higher.

Add Holloway vs. Kattar. Max landed 445 significant strikes in that fight. Source: UFC Stats. It is a striking masterclass.

Mia's Tex-Mex brisket tacos are genuinely one of the best dishes in Dallas. Take the kids AND enjoy the food. Rare combo.

WFAA meteorologist just said this is a particularly dangerous situation. Get underground if you can.
