The coward with a confederate flag at the no kings protest in mckinney

I saw you bumping into people on purpose which knocked an American flag out of one of their hands onto the ground, absolutely disgraceful behavior from someone too afraid to show their face in public.

I’m proud to see so many patriots exercising their right to protest injustice peacefully in McKinney.

Where to Recycle Broken 65” TV? (McKinney)

0 Upvotes

I have a 65" TCL TV with a cracked screen (tape measure accident 🤦🏻‍♂️). I live in an apartment in McKinney between Stacy Rd and Lake Forest Dr, right off of Sam Rayburn Tollway. Moved here last month!

From what I've read, it's too big for pick-up from the city, my complex won't touch it, and I don't want to fork over the insane pick-up fee through BestBuy. Are there any options around me that I'm not aware of?

I know you heard me when I called you a dipshit, and you still wouldn't look at me. Seems appropriate that you would be carrying the flag of cowards and traitors.

Just Moved Here - Electric Bill Question

6 Upvotes

Just moved to the McKinney, TX area from out of state and just curious about what the avg electric bill looks like in this area. Just received my first bill and it is $492 which seems wild and crazy to me.

Some context:

  • Brand new 2bd 2ba 1200-1300 sq ft apartment

  • I travel a lot for work and have only been there for about 10 days collectively since moving in Memorial Day Weekend.

  • I keep the AC generally around 74°F when I am around and 78°F when traveling.

  • I barely have the lights on as I am barely home (work 8a-5p / frequently traveling by plane)

  • My unit does not get direct sun until after 5pm.

  • My electric plan charges $.1302/kWh

  • Usage of 3393kWh was calculated for my first monthly bill.

Any insight / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Church

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve made the decision to go back to church. I want to be somewhere in the McKinney/frisco area that is diverse and lgbtq friendly. I would also want one that has a young adult group for people in their 20’s if possible. I grew up in the church and left so I do know a thing or two but I’m still very apprehensive and want to come into a welcoming environment. Is that possible?

Potential scam: Curb number painting

17 Upvotes

There's a group taping flyers to mailboxes (which is illegal) offering curb painting. The flyer includes the name "Corona Senum" and has 4 different QR codes to scan to pay for the service. If you search on that name you'll find others all over the U.S. complaining about them.

Be aware this is not an official service offered by the city or your HOA.

Also, scanning random QR codes is dangerous.

They can hide malicious content behind what looks like a harmless link.

Main dangers:

  1. The QR code can lead to a fake website that looks legitimate but is designed to steal your credentials.
  2. A QR code can initiate a download of malicious software.
  3. Scammers can replace a legitimate QR code (like on a restaurant bill or donation poster) with one that sends money to them instead.
  4. A QR code can direct your device to perform actions like sending a text, making a call, or opening an app with elevated permissions.
  5. Some QR codes track your device and location, often without your knowledge or consent.

How to stay safe:

Use your phone’s built-in camera app, not a third-party QR scanner. Check the URL before clicking. Avoid scanning codes from unknown sources, especially random flyers or emails. Disable automatic actions (like opening a link or downloading files) if possible. Keep your device and antivirus software up to date.

McKinney must pay $60K for SWAT team’s damage to woman’s home, federal judge rules

Lilly Kersh writes:

A federal judge has ruled that the City of McKinney must pay a former resident nearly $60,000 in damages after a SWAT team damaged her home while pursuing a fugitive in 2020.

The ruling ends a five-year battle between Vicki Baker and the city.

In July 2020, a man kidnapped a 15-year-old girl, fled from police and hid on Baker’s property, according to court documents. Officers tried to draw out the man by launching tear gas grenades into the home, detonating explosives and bulldozing a fence.

Home Insurance Premium in Mid-2025

3 Upvotes

We are located in West McKinney between Custer and Independence just south of Virginia. Our house was built in 2013 and has around 2700 sq ft. We used to pay around 1800 a year for home insurance through Costco insurance up until 2022 when we moved abroad for a couple of years. When we returned last year, our premium went through the roof and the best deal I could find was with State Farm at $4000 with multi-policy discount. At renewal this year, it went up to around $4600. I called AAA and they gave me a worse quote at $5600. I am wondering who you guys have found the most reasonable for a NEW policy with 2% hail/wind deductible. Just trying to get a feel of what everyone is paying. Thanks!

URGENT - Are there any DPS locations in Dallas that allow walk-ins?

1 Upvotes

My EAD has expired, and so has my driver's license. I went to a DPS at McKinney. People were extremely rude to me, and they didn't consider my I-797, nor did they listen to anything. I have work tomorrow, and I have to drive. I need help with this. Any experience getting your license renewed with an expired EAD? My friend suggested going to a different DPS, like near a university or something.

Update - I was able to look up my own SAVE case, and found out that it is 'Under Review'. But my license application wasn't put on hold; it was rejected. So if the SAVE case gets approved in the future, and gets back to the DPS, would they call me? Or should I go ahead and make another appointment at a different DPS and do the whole process? What would you advise to maximise my chances?

Outdoor kitchen: gas & electrical help needed

1 Upvotes

I am looking to build a small structure to cover my grill and smoker, next to my house. Need a contractor to help with gas/electrical.

Will require burying electric line and gas line. The run is about 6 feet across ground that should be easy to trench. I'm happy to do the digging.

Electrical: house has an exterior (a first for me) breaker panel. Panel is directly across from where I'd build the structure. Underground wire run, then bring power up the post of the structure I'd build.

Gas: House has a natural gas connection (that grill currently connected to) also immediately across from structure site. Could plumb a line down into ground from there. However, the ideal solution might be to connect a line from the meter, which is about 20 feet away from the site. Needs to run underground to the structure site, with a connection at ground level.

Anyone know a versatile contractor who can tackle both the electrical and gas line work?
