200+ applications for the first role is not an exaggeration. I tracked mine: 247 applications, 18 phone screens, 6 on-sites, 2 offers. The job search is a full-time job.

SMS two-factor is basically useless now. SIM-swapping attacks defeat it. Use an authenticator app or hardware key.

Make the regular season shorter. 82 games is too many. Cut it to 58-60 games and stars will play every game because each one matters more.

That debut season record of 36 goals will stand for a long time. It took 30 years to break the previous record and Haaland shattered it by 2.

She finished Jessica Andrade in the second round. Andrade was a former champion at 115. That is a legitimate win against a real fighter.

Use the Texas AG child support calculator before going to court. The formula is straightforward and judges rarely deviate from guidelines without strong cause.

Microchip your pets. A $25 microchip at the SPCA is the difference between getting your pet back and never seeing them again.

Amazon Key for garage delivery is actually great if you have it set up. They put it inside your garage. No porch exposure.

AT&T is where senior engineers go for WLB. The pay isn't top of market but 35-hour weeks with full benefits and pension is hard to beat if you're past the grind phase.

If you are in Fort Worth, just go to the TCU game. Ford Stadium at TCU is one of the most underrated game day experiences in DFW. Tailgating on the campus lawns is beautiful.

The pavement temperature reminder is crucial. I burned my dog's paws on the Katy Trail one July before I knew better. Walk early or walk late.

Nextdoor is a double-edged sword for this. Useful for coordination but often devolves into "suspicious person" posts targeting minorities. Keep it factual.

Bishop Arts walk is perfect. Low pressure, plenty of conversation starters, and you can extend or cut it short naturally.

CrossFit Feral in Fort Worth has produced several athletes who've made it to the CrossFit Games. If you're competitive, this is the box.

Naoya Inoue is the most entertaining fighter in boxing and most American fans cannot name him. He has 25 knockouts in 28 fights at 122 pounds. The power at that weight is absurd.

Carfax is not perfect but its a good first screen. Also check for water lines under the dashboard and in the trunk.

Plano Animal Services said they wont trap or relocate them. The solution is hazing — making noise, throwing things, making them afraid of humans.

Allen having one high school with 6,000 students is wild but the facilities are insane. $60M stadium.

The DFW contract market is robust. Got a 6-month contract at $85/hour through TEKsystems within 3 weeks of my layoff. That's $170K annualized. Ended up going permanent there.

Bishop Arts is gentrifying so fast the character that made it special is slowly disappearing. Get there while it still feels like itself.

Bruno Guimaraes is the best midfielder outside Manchester City. Newcastle need to build around him or risk losing him to a club with Champions League consistency.

Legacy Fight Club Muay Thai program is underrated. The instructors have actual fight experience. Not just pad-holding fitness coaches.

I switched to running from my house to White Rock instead of driving. Problem solved, plus extra miles.

Red Cross volunteer here. We are accepting donations at the rec center until 8 PM tonight.

Adding: The Family Place also serves male victims. It's not women-only. If you're a man experiencing DV, call them.
