Doorbell camera caught someone trying my door at 3am
Ring doorbell alert at 3:12am. Checked the footage. Guy walks up to my front door, tries the handle, it's locked, and he walks to the next house.

Just got back from a week in Mexico City. The food was unbelievable. Came home and went to my usual Tex-Mex spot and it hit different. Not bad, just... different. Tex-Mex is its own thing.
Before y'all come for me — I've eaten there plenty of times. It's fine. The patty melt is good. The honey butter chicken biscuit is legitimately great. But the regular burgers? Mid. The fries?

AC has been out for 4 days. It's over 100 degrees outside and my apartment is hitting 90+ inside. I've called maintenance three times.
I've been trying to find a primary care doctor and a dentist for two months. Everyone is either not taking new patients, doesn't take my insurance, or has the next available appointment in August.
Got an EV last year and was worried about charging infrastructure. Honestly it's gotten way better around here even in the last 12 months.
Spent 6 years in apartments. Just bought a house. Here's what nobody warned me about. - Lawn care in Texas heat is a part-time job. Mowing every week in summer. Watering constantly.
I need a solid breakfast taco spot. Not a sit-down brunch place charging $16 for two tacos on a fancy plate.
Every time I stop at Buc-ee's I spend $60 on stuff I don't need. The beef jerky wall is mesmerizing. The bathrooms are immaculate. The brisket sandwich is solid.
Fourth car on our street broken into this week. They're not smashing windows — they're just checking door handles. If it's unlocked they go in, grab whatever they can, and move to the next one.
I need a trustworthy mechanic. Not a dealership — they quoted me $900 for brake pads and rotors on a midsize sedan. I can buy the parts for $200.
Moving into a new house next month and want to set up security from day one. Done some research but there are too many options and every review site seems sponsored.
Groceries are up. Rent is up. Insurance is up. Gas somehow went down and then right back up. I make more than I did 3 years ago and I feel like I have less money.
Looking for a new apartment or maybe renting a house. Budget is around $1,200-1,400 for a 1BR or small 2BR. I know that's tight. I'm not expecting luxury.
I've been applying for weeks. All the Indeed postings are either scams, ghost listings that have been up for 6 months, or they want 5 years of experience for $18/hour. I don't have a degree.
Every city in Texas thinks the city next to them has the worst drivers. It's like a universal Texas experience.
Interest rates are still elevated. Prices haven't really come down. Insurance costs are through the roof — literally, because of all the hail and storm claims. But rent keeps going up too.
Been single for about 6 months. Back on the apps. Some observations about dating around here.
Every city has those spots that have been open for 20-30+ years. No rebranding, no Instagram presence, same menu since the Reagan administration. And somehow they're still packed every weekend.
BBQ is supposed to be fun. Community. Gathering around a pit with a beer and eating good food.
I'm on a mission to find the best sweet tea around here. Not the bottled stuff. Not the lightly sweetened "is there even sugar in this" version.
There's a stretch of highway near me that has been under construction since before the pandemic. Orange barrels. Lane closures. Reduced speed limits. For THREE YEARS.
Took my car for annual inspection. Everything works fine. Brakes good. Lights good. Emissions good. Failed because one of my tire pressure monitoring sensors is malfunctioning.
I've been job hunting for a few months and the number of sketchy interviews I've had is wild. Compiling a list so others know what to watch for.
This is my first full summer in Texas. It's been over 100 degrees for 12 straight days. My car steering wheel could brand cattle. I burned my hand on the seatbelt buckle.
Genuine question, no disrespect intended. I looked up the average teacher salary in Texas. It's around $57K.
