Eating my way through DFW one neighborhood at a time. Oak Cliff roots.
Houston food > DFW food and I will die on this hill. The Viet-Cajun crawfish alone puts Houston on top. DFW is catching up though.
Cattleack operating 3 days a week and still having a line out the door tells you everything. Best brisket in DFW and I will argue with anyone.
K9 University helped us with our reactive dog. 6 private sessions and the difference is night and day.
WFAA meteorologist just said this is a particularly dangerous situation. Get underground if you can.
Jack's Generic Tri in Dallas is the best beginner triathlon in DFW. Low-key, supportive, and the distances are doable even if you've never done a tri.
Christian Brothers has never tried to upsell me. They've actually told me twice that I didn't need a repair I came in asking about.
Dallas College continuing ed classes are a hidden gem. I took a woodworking class for $120. Met cool people, learned a skill.
The Man United parallel is lazy. Slot is a much better manager than Moyes was. The squad he inherited is also significantly better than what Moyes got.
Ferrari will find a way to mess it up. They always do. Bad strategy, reliability issues, internal politics. It is in their DNA.
TCU, Baylor, and Tech staying in the Big 12 without Texas and Oklahoma feels like being left at the table after the cool kids leave. The TV revenue drop is real.
The High Five looks cool from a helicopter. From inside your car it looks like a punishment designed by someone who hates Dallas specifically.
As a season ticket holder, losing a home game to London is frustrating. I pay for 8 home games and get 7. The team gets international revenue and I lose a game I paid for.
PowerToChoose.org is the most important website for DFW homeowners. I saved $40/month switching from my default TXU plan to a competitive fixed-rate plan.
A lot of people don't realize that comprehensive insurance covers this. My $500 deductible was worth it when they stole $2K in tools.
Remote work from Texas for a San Francisco company. My state tax savings is $12,400/year. It's the single biggest financial advantage of living here.
Internal transfer is the move if you can do it. I went from marketing to data analytics at my Fortune 500 company. No bootcamp cost, kept my benefits the whole time.
You left out Truck Yard in Lower Greenville — $4 Texas beers, outdoor setup is unbeatable in spring.
Central Market prepared foods section is dangerous. Everything looks amazing. Budget $50 and try to stick to it.
College overtime is exciting but it is essentially a skills competition, not football. No punting, no field position, no clock management. It removes half of what makes football strategic.
The location adjustment is real though. Got a Google offer: $260K in Mountain View, $210K for DFW remote. Still took the DFW option because the take-home after taxes and housing is higher.
The work search requirement is strict. THREE documented activities per week. I kept a spreadsheet with company name, date, job title, and how I applied. TWC audited me and the spreadsheet saved my claim.
NEVER skip the home inspection. I found $15,000 in needed foundation work that the seller agreed to fix before closing. Best $400 I ever spent.
Lower Greenville duplex is the real luxury. Actual walls, a yard for my dog, and my landlord is a person not a corporation.
He needs to stop making unforced errors. France 2022 and Imola were not Ferrari's fault. Those were his mistakes while leading races. Champions do not do that.
Amazon paid a billion dollars. The NFL does not care about quality or player safety when a billion dollars is on the table. That is the honest truth.
