AirTag in the car is cheap insurance. Friend's stolen Kia was recovered in 4 hours because of an AirTag under the back seat.

The VIN engraving events at DPD substations are great. Free, takes 10 minutes. They also do free bike registration.

DFW Airport rideshare pickup is well-organized now. But Love Field is still a bit of a mess. Use the designated area on the lower level.

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

The "community technology package" is the biggest scam. $75/month for what? Wifi in the lobby? I already pay for my own internet.

Dashcam saved me in a road rage situation last year. Everyone should have one. Viofo A129 is $100 on Amazon.

This is a classic casing technique. They ask about schedules and routines to plan break-ins. Never share that information with strangers.

TDLR license lookup is free: tdlr.texas.gov. Takes 30 seconds. If they cant give you a license number, walk away.

Greenville Ave is completely shut down from Ross to Mockingbird basically. Take Henderson.

Cidercade is $12 for UNLIMITED arcade games and you bring your own beer. Best entertainment deal in DFW.

Fury lost because he tried to box Usyk instead of using his size. If he had pressed the weight advantage and made it a physical fight from round 1, the outcome could have been different.

Murray Street before 9 AM on a weekday is great for work. After that it gets Deep Ellum loud.

Lived in Flower Mound for 8 years. Left my garage open overnight multiple times by accident. Nothing happened. Try that in East Dallas.

Adding to the list: a portable power station. I got a Jackery 500 after the 2023 ice storm. Powers phones, lights, and a small fan for 2 days.

As a casual fan, I had no idea how the tournament worked until the semifinals. The format needs to be simpler. Group stages, tiebreakers, wild cards -- it is too complicated.

The AG child support calculator is useful but doesn't account for everything. Medical insurance, daycare costs, and special needs expenses are calculated separately.

AAC playoff atmosphere is underrated. Stars and Mavs playoff games are the loudest events in DFW.

Cowtown Christmas Market at Will Rogers is massive. 200+ vendors. Budget 3-4 hours to walk the whole thing.

The Consumer Confidence Report is eye-opening. Found out my water provider in a Denton County subdivision had elevated nitrate levels. Switched to a filtration system.

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

Verstappen winning with the slower car for half the season is what separates him. He extracted every possible point from an inferior package.

I was at Parks Mall around that time. Didnt see anything but checking my dashcam now.

The lack of attention Usyk gets compared to his achievements is criminal. If he were American or British, he would be the biggest star in boxing.

The "bootcamp teaches you 20%" stat is accurate. You learn enough to get a job and then learn the rest on the job. Don't expect to walk out as a senior engineer.

AT&T pension + tech salary is an underrated combo. The company has issues but that defined benefit retirement plan is worth $500K+ over a career.
