Following. Want to see what others think before I weigh in.

Bug spray is NOT optional at outdoor movies in DFW. Mosquitoes treat outdoor movie nights as an all-you-can-eat buffet.

BJJ in DFW has exploded. There are 50+ academies across the metroplex now. Quality varies — look for lineage and competition results.

Fort Worth Water Gardens at night is something everyone needs to experience at least once.

Been thinking about this all week. Good timing on the post.

I bring every out-of-town visitor to the Kimbell and they are always shocked that something this good exists in a city most people associate with cowboys and oil.

Spectrum upload speeds are trash (12 Mbps is embarrassing in 2026) but the download is consistent and there are no data caps. Good for streaming, bad for uploading.

GuideStar lets you see the actual IRS 990 filing. You can see exactly how much money goes to programs vs. overhead. Transparency matters.

DFW hard water is real. My showerhead was caked in mineral deposits after 6 months. A water softener solved it.

The 30 cumulative days out of service is the trigger most people don't know about. Even if each repair is for a different issue, if the car has been in the shop 30+ total days, you qualify.

I did the IBEW apprenticeship. 5 years. Now I'm a journeyman making $72K at 26 with zero debt. My college friends are making $55K with $80K in loans.

MoneyPuck at 72%. I'll take those odds but I've been a Stars fan long enough to know better.

Meddlesome Moth truffle fries at happy hour price are a cheat code. Also their beer list is top 5 in DFW.

Read the cancellation clause CAREFULLY. Our florist's contract said if THEY cancelled, they only owed a refund "minus expenses incurred." They cancelled and kept $2,000 in "expenses." We fought it in small claims and won.

Relegation would be incredible to watch but it will never happen. The owners who paid $3B+ for a franchise will not risk being sent to the G League. The financial implications are too severe.

Hard agree on pizza. Made the mistake once.

The rent vs buy breakeven at 5 years is key. If you're staying less than 5 years, renting is often the smarter financial decision in DFW.

S4 is a Dallas institution regardless of your orientation. The dance floor energy on a Saturday night is unmatched.

CFPB complaint against a credit card company that was charging fees they couldn't explain. Response within 15 days and a $340 refund. CFPB is powerful.

The no state income tax thing is real. My $140K in DFW equals roughly $175K in the Bay Area when you factor in California income tax + cost of living.

Bumble BFF mode actually got me my friend group when I moved here from Houston. Highly recommend.

Jack's Generic Tri in Dallas is the best beginner triathlon in DFW. Low-key, supportive, and the distances are doable even if you've never done a tri.

Henry was the better footballer. Haaland is the better goal scorer. They are different archetypes. Comparing them is like comparing a Swiss Army knife to a sledgehammer.

LeBron criticizing it because the Lakers were in it is peak irony. Be better in the regular season and you avoid it entirely.
