The joke is that Texas has two seasons: summer and construction. And somehow they overlap perfectly to make everything worse.

Not something I expected to read today but glad I did.

Rec sports league. Volleyball, kickball, softball. You see the same people every week, you grab beers after games, friendships happen naturally. That's how I built my entire friend group here.

It takes like a year. I know that's not what you want to hear but real friendships take time. Keep showing up to the same places consistently. The people who keep showing up too become your people.

Los Verdes are legit. The songs, the drums, the flags. They're building a supporter culture from scratch and doing it well.

Will Anderson deserves more help. Dude had 14 sacks and the rest of the D-line combined for 12. That's embarrassing.

I watched someone walk out of a store with a full cart last week. Employees didn't even react. They're told not to intervene. I don't blame them — not worth getting hurt over merchandise.

Check on your elderly neighbors during heat waves. Seriously. Heat stroke can kill and not everyone has working AC or the ability to get to a cooling center.

We went from the Lovie Smith disaster to genuine playoff contender in two seasons. DeMeco Ryans deserves coach of the decade.

freestyle is the correct #1 because the takedowns are the most important wrestling skill in MMA. you cant control people on the ground if you cant get them there first

The worst drivers are always the ones on whatever highway I'm currently on. This is a universal law.

Check if your TPMS can be reset before replacing the sensor. Sometimes a reset clears the light. YouTube your car model + TPMS reset. Saved me $200.

Made the switch 6 months ago. Home charging overnight is a game changer. I wake up to a full "tank" every morning. Never going to a gas station again.

NAGA in DFW is always a great time. well organized, reasonable entry fees, and the brackets are usually deep enough that you get 3-4 matches. its the standard first tournament for most people in this area

Solar panels with battery backup. Not cheap but after 2 summers of anxiety I made the investment. When ERCOT asks me to conserve, I just switch to battery. Independence from this grid is priceless.

The real hack is bringing your own newspaper to lay on the table. Some places give you the tray but newspaper is tradition.

pop would be so proud of what this kid is becoming

we need a real on-campus stadium though. the alamodome is too big and empty

Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, and Prius are the most targeted. Higher ground clearance = easier access, and Toyota cats have more precious metals. If you own one of these, you're a target.

Toyota Center on a Friday night is back. The energy hasn't been this good since the Harden era. The young crowd is showing up.

Share that footage on your neighborhood social media. Nextdoor, Facebook group, whatever. Other people's cameras might have caught him arriving or leaving in a car. Plate numbers are what police need.

The $300/month savings is real. My coworker and I compared over 6 months. Her EV costs about $60/month in electricity vs my $340 in gas for similar driving.

The tech bro question is fair. Half the crowd is there for the vibes and the other half actually knows the offside rule. Both groups are welcome but the real fans carry the energy.
