What was going on at Veterans Park?

50-ish guys dressed like this in the woods near the wildscape around 4pm today. Not the usual disc golfers, so what was this?

Reliable mechanic

I drive a 2008 toyota camry. My check engine light recently came on. Took it to auto zone and they said it was my max airflow sensor. Replaced it, light turned off, then turned on again a day later. They said I might need my fuel filter replaced. Brushed it off since car was running fine. This was 2 weeks ago. Today my car wouldn't turn on. Had to smash the gas pedal down several times while revving it for it to start. Anyone know of a good mechanic here in Arlington? Feels like there's something wrong with the amount of fuel being ran to the engine.

Coming to Arlington for work conference. Looking for food and things to do recommendations.

Basically the title. Coming to Arlington in February for a week for a work event. I've never been to Texas and I wanted some local recommendations for food places to eat and drink. Thanks

Residential Structural Engineer / Deep Energy Retrofit

Anybody know any local residential structural engineers that that have DER knowledge or just open mindedness to some out of the norm stuff?

I have an old pier & beam home I’d like to perform a DER on and will need some help getting some structural window/wall/roof details done.

I’ve emailed two companies so far that seem DER focused but I’m pretty sure they’re more interested in commercial projects.

Future protests here in Texas cities this weekend, INCLUDING ARLINGTON!

From my last few posts I've added across Texas subreddits about this past weekend's protest in Dallas at the Hunt Hill bridge, I've not only gotten a lot of disgusting racist comments/messages, but I've received even more asking how they can get involved.

I'm not on any social media (other than Reddit ofc) or an organizer of any of these events. I luckily have a friend who is on social media and notifies me of all of them. As such, I am doing my duty as a patriotic American/Texan and passing along anything I find or am told about to keep people on Reddit informed about them as well. I will ask who to follow on the various sites and pass them along once I hear back. If you know of anyone, feel free to add here also!

These specific protests are not only anti-deportation protests, but anti-Trump and his administration, in addition to Abbott's as well. I'm sure there will be more as we except women, LGBT, black, and even basic American rights to be under seige by this deplorable administrations (both Trump's and Abbott's).

To be clear: -No Democrat politician has come out AGAINST deporting criminals. Democrats are for this, but disagree with how this administration is doing it, especially since non-criminal and actual American citizens are being included in these raids unfairly and unjustly. -We are against the treatment of all the undocumented who are included in these raids and not given their day in court, which is not happening at the moment. -We are against the hyper focus on the Hispanic community, with none given to folks crossing from the Canadian border, folks who are overstaying their visas, or the companies who hire the undocumented workers. No one ever talks about the companies who continue to hire these folks, which is also against the law. You would think this would be priority #1, but we know exactly why that isn't

Good luck to everyone and stay safe out there! Just because these folks are the loudest does not mean they are the majority (this line really gets them for some reason).

Dog Groomer Recommendations

Hi y’all! I’m relatively new to the area and looking for recommendations for a groomer for my longhaired dachshund. I’d really appreciate someone who is familiar with breed-specific cuts and can highlight their unique features, like their proud chest. I have an appointment scheduled with PetSmart but after reading the online reviews, I am cancelling. If you know of a groomer who does great work with dachshunds, I’d love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Dallas Cowboys Boycott

Anyone want to start a boycott sub for the Cowboys. The only way Jerry will get it is if Fans as a collective stand together and NOT go to games and NOT buy merchandise. If it starts in Arlington and does well it may spread to other areas making this "official boycott" more successful. I am tired of this team being drug through the ringer. We need REAL players and REAL coaching and an owner who just ownes the team...not run the team. Let me know yalls thoughts.

The Jackson Viridian

For anybody who lives here, do you enjoy the place? Also how is their trash service? Do they have dedicated trash services on each floor with valet trash or do we have to take our trash out?

I feel like the management team didn’t really give out much information other than amenities and rent prices.

Missing chickens?

Found 2 chickens trying to shelter from the cold near Duff elementary. Too comfortable around people to not have belonged to someone. Trying to find the owner if possible.
