Disagree — scheme fit matters more than raw ranking. Watch the Alabama film.

Deerfield in Plano is free but the traffic on weekends is INSANE. Go on a weeknight. Tuesday or Wednesday is best.

I live two blocks away and just lost water pressure. Great timing on a 100 degree day.

Happiest Hour for NBA Finals is an experience. Even in DFW, people pack that place for the Finals. Game 7 atmosphere is legitimate.

The unlimited PTO trap is real. My last company had unlimited PTO. I took 14 days. My new company gives 20 defined days. I took all 20. Defined PTO is better.

The 10% cap on assessed value increases is huge in a hot market. My neighbor's home value jumped 28% in one year but their taxable value only went up 10% because of homestead.

The regular season already matters less. Two-loss teams are getting in. The magic of college football was that every game mattered. Now you get mulligans.

Ssahm BBQ brisket kimchi quesadilla changed my understanding of what food can be.

Open Path Collective is how I found my therapist. $60/session, licensed, experienced. Worth looking into.

Boxing is alive and well in Mexico, the UK, and Japan. This is an American problem. The sport globally is fine. Americans just prefer UFC now.

St. Mark's and Hockaday are worth it for the network alone. I know that sounds elitist but the alumni connections are real.

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.

Aledo with 12 state championships is absurd. They have won the state title in a third of the seasons they have been eligible. That is unprecedented dominance.

The defensive driving course discount is automatic in Texas — insurers are REQUIRED to honor it. Take the $25 online course, save $150/year for 3 years.

Sunstone hot yoga will DESTROY you in the best way. 105-degree room, vigorous flow. Come hydrated, leave transformed.

Had an underground leak I couldn't see. Water bill went from $60 to $340. Filed for the leak adjustment under TAC 24.85 and got the bill reduced to the average of my previous 6 months.

The four-belt system is the biggest barrier for new fans. Until boxing fixes it, the sport will continue to lose casual fans to UFC where there is one champion per division.

DFW hard water is real. My showerhead was caked in mineral deposits after 6 months. A water softener solved it.

Hong Kong Market food court is the best lunch secret in DFW. $6 banh mi and $4 boba. Try beating that in Uptown.

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

The COPC clinics are the best kept secret in Dallas County healthcare. Full primary care, sliding scale, locations all over the county. Use them.

Riddle Room in Frisco is my top pick. The puzzles are creative and the staff actually cares about the experience.

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.

The LBJ Express dynamic pricing is highway robbery (literally). I've seen it hit $22 during rush hour. Take the free lanes and listen to a podcast.

Libby app + library card + DFW commute = I read 40 audiobooks last year. Life changing.
