been dealing with something similar. anyone have a good recommendation?

my experience was completely different but i think it depends on the area

can confirm. went through this exact process last year

Todo trading his MEMORY to activate his technique one more time during the Shibuya arc is peak Binding Vow writing. The cost is real. The payoff is emotional. That is how you write a sacrifice.

California has weather. Texas has everything else. Signed, a 2023 transplant who has zero regrets.

The email/Slack one is huge for office workers. If your boss expects a response within 30 minutes at 9 PM, thats compensable time. Period.

wish i knew this last year

The fact that Andor has no lightsabers, no Jedi, and no Force and is still the best Star Wars content since 1980 proves that the franchise's problems are not about spectacle. They are about writing.

Zeus Comics in Oak Lawn is a community institution. Support them. They host events, support local artists, and curate their shelves with care. If they close, DFW loses something irreplaceable.

Moved from Seattle 2 years ago. The electricity deregulation thing caught me off guard. My first summer bill was $480 because I had a variable rate plan. Fixed rate is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Batman #5's labyrinth sequence is one of the greatest single issues of the 2010s. Reading it for the first time and physically rotating the book as the panels shifted was a visceral reading experience that digital cannot replicate.

Baldur's Gate 3 co-op is a 100-hour commitment and worth every second. My friend and I played through twice with different choices. The game is THAT replayable.

bookmarked immediately

The demand increase from crypto mining and data centers is the part nobody talks about. ERCOT approved more new industrial connections in 2024-2025 than the previous decade combined.

The trick is the "unequal appraisal" argument. Find 5 similar homes in your neighborhood appraised lower than yours. The ARB almost always adjusts to the average.

Firefighter here. We respond to multiple hot car calls every summer. By the time we arrive, internal temp can be 150+. Time matters. Break the window.

Elden Ring ruined other open-world games for me. I tried playing a Ubisoft game after 200 hours in the Lands Between and the quest markers and minimap GPS felt insulting. I do not want to be told where to go. I want to discover.

Modern anime studios are overworking their animators to death to produce flashy fight scenes. Source: NHK documentary on anime industry working conditions. The art has improved but the cost in human labor is unconscionable.

The fact that this thread exists proves we all watch this stuff. The algorithm knows. Just embrace it.

Alamo Drafthouse popcorn with the seasoning salt is worth the $8. I will not be sneaking snacks into Alamo. They earned my money.

I quit Succession three times before it clicked. Now it is in my top 5 all-time. The Roy family dynamics are Shakespearean. Kendall's arc across 4 seasons is tragic.

Jason Aaron understood that the best Thor stories are about the burden of godhood, not just the power. Gorr asking "are gods worth worshipping?" is the most compelling villain motivation in modern Marvel comics.

Get your inspection done at a Kwik Kar or similar chain. Takes 15 minutes. Then go to the county tax office. Do NOT go to DPS for registration.

I work at a DFW AI startup. We have 8 engineers and $2M in ARR. We just raised at a $60M valuation. Even our own team thinks the valuation is insane. But investors are throwing money at anything with AI in the pitch.

Demon Slayer Episode 19 single-handedly proved that anime can surpass its source material. Ufotable took a good manga chapter and made it one of the most-watched anime moments of all time.

bro what 😂
