  1. Leopard party FEASTING in Florida https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2024/04/16/duval-county-school-board-to-discuss-controversial-plan-that-could-close-nearly-30-dcps-schools/
  2. I think you’re dead wrong on that last sentence. Just look at the recent/ongoing bloodbath in the state gop primaries where even semi maga assholes got railroaded by Shelley Luther.

    Israel

    Reports of US bases (or at least forces) taking on fire. Eff
  4. Lordy if you’re in or own in Dallas county you got no lubed. Everything I’ve seen is 20+% bumps. Unreal.
  5. Admittedly Im a fan of black pepper rub on bbq, hurtado (8th Ave) pork ribs absolutely destroyed my one trip to ribbees. Slightly better deal to boot. Not overly impressed with the rest of hurtado’s meat offerings but those ribs were real deal.
  6. You knew the walk back was gonna be bad/worse than the original gibberish.
  7. The funny/not funny thing is prepare for the tax rates to go up as we’re seeing commercial values either come down from prior year or stay level for the most part. Wilco slashed about a billion of hard taxable value off the apartments alone comparing 23 value to 24 notice value, so it’ll be much more than a billion after appeals. for context a billion of taxable value is like 20k homes getting $50k taxable (homestead capped number) slashed.
  8. On a more granular level I’m talking specific school boundaries within districts. In Fort Worth for example there’s only ~3 elementary schools worth a damn, and the rest are pure shit. (Probably similar to Dallas with Lakewood elementary and the one near lower Greenville) if you’re in the good boundary your home has a premium, literally one block over exact same house and it’s piss, or shit, your call.
  9. They already are for the old man’s support of public education.
  10. Juan is/was always their way of saying they were balanced but he is really just their punching bag.
  11. I bet the folks running the county beg to differ. I need to dig up an article about a county like that where a single family runs the county and all the oil money that flows from it.
  12. Got popped for homeowners policy hike of about 15% in dfw, figure that’s not even worth shopping considering how much lower this bid was than the comp during initial year. have sent my agent ~10 ppl who signed up for home/auto/life policies too so I have to think he knows he’s making money on me in other places.
  13. I’m curious to see what happens to housing prices once public education shitshow even impacts the “good school” areas. Or if gentrification hits light speed in well located pockets that were mainly held back by poor schools
  14. If I were on the ship I woulda just held one of those plastic pkgs that small electronics/tools come in that are impossible to cut with scissors. Snapped those fibers no problem.
  15. Is Florida in play now with abortion literally on the November ballot and needing 60% to pass??
  16. That UConn game reminded me of Kansas Marquette in our final 4 appearance.
  17. Fun to look back at how much the world has changed in 4 yrs https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/s/dL2R6kOHL6
  18. I hear ya on the struggles, a small army of roving vendors would help a lot. I feel like there’s a hell of an opportunity for concession innovation with events like this that are one off type - bigass banks of vending machines for non booze items. Or some kind of Amazon locker setup text your order/pay and get notified when it’s ready.
  19. I don’t hate the aestheti. It’s the concourse bar island pic that looks like American Airlines center and makes me think they’re missing the mark on it all. All for the More/better bathrooms, better concourse flow, and better entrance gates… but the vibe in those pics looks like an attempt to church it up.
  20. Solid humble brag slipped in with the driveway description. Hat tip
  21. Not sure how to feel about these renderings
  22. The great bridge by David McCullough is very damn good, goes for just about all his works I’ve read RIP. Such a delightful man
