  1. 5 bedroom decently large house, about 6 years old, keep the AC at 72 in the morning, it works up to 78 at the hottest part of the day and then gradually back to 72 in the evening. AC runs about 10 hours per day. bills in summer are in the upper $300 / lower $400s. spring and fall are under $200. Winter about $300.

  2. my favorite is after i have shamed them with Jesus's words, they mostly fall back on "well i really just support his economic policies" and then its on like Donkey Kong... TELL ME ONE OF TRUMP's ECONOMIC POLICIES THAT YOU AGREE WITH AND ACTUALLY WORKED!!!

     

    that fucker took a brilliant and hot economy and ran it into the fucking ditch over and over and over again with the stupidest economic policies in the history of ever. his one consistent economic policy was to do the opposite of whatever the black man in the tan suit did. agree with his economic policies my ass. you supported him because he made you feel good about your hatred of brown people. its just that fucking simple.

    Does it, tho?

    Even a video showing Trump raping a 10-year-old boy while whispering the nuclear codes into Putin's ear wouldn't change their minds.  They'd all say that's nothing compared to what's on Hunter's laptop and Hillary's email server.

    true. i dont give a shit if that third of the population ever changes their mind. they are beyond saving. but they know they are wrong. they know they are racist pieces of shit. and they bemoan that they have to apologize for it but their shame always shines through in a frustrated way that they have to apologize for being racist and sexist and for not caring about those who are most at risk. i mean how can you expect them to when they first have to worry about taxes, and govt spending on programs that help the vulnerable, and dont get me started on focusing on battling Disney for the hearts and souls of the children that Disney is trying to infect with the gay. I just shame them with Jesus's words until they finally give in or walk away... my point is we just need to force those people back into their holes and shame them into shutting the fuck up. its not ok to have any of those views and its certainly not ok for you to voice them or act on them or vote for them.

    Huh.  Maybe I've just had the misfortune of knowing a lot of awful human beings.  And I have.  And I'm guessing you'd be surprised by how many of them never really had to face any significant consequences.  They were born assholes, lived as assholes, and died as assholes, and life never dealt them any unusually bad consequences.  They still had their money, social standing, etc.  I've just seen too many people get through this life being shitty with minimal consequences to count on karma settling the score.

    Kind of like I've also known some really good and decent people who just can't seem to catch a break.  Plenty of good people get shit on by the universe, as right next to them, a shitty person skates on by.

    i hear you and mostly agree with you as that applies to everyday people who are just shitty. life is often random and unkind. but i thought we were talking about truly horrific people like Trump.

    Your lips to karma's ears. George W caused the deaths of a massive amount of people, and he seems to be doing just fine.

    that is a whole different 100+ page conversation. Im not sure how to rectify Texas Governor Bush with Prez W but I would lay most of the above on Dick Cheney and his merry band of dipshits. and then down the rabbit hole we go....

    As someone who regularly works with courts on scheduling matters, and dealing with conflicting scheduling obligations (my clients may not have multiple trial dates next year, but I, their lead counsel, sure do), that approach is not surprising.  Yes, we may have a preferred window...say, March.  But there's a hard conflict.  And January is going to be too early, based on the anticipated schedule.  And we have to allow cushion for the March trial to run long.  So, we set the next trial in May.

    Correct.

    Also, sometimes the clock runs out so a person ends up never facing any consequences.  Karma does NOT always come through.  Some terrible people walk through their entire lives without ever having to face the music.

    who gives a shit if half the country cares or not. this is about justice not anything else.

     

    i cant think of anyone who has ever walked through life without any consequence. life is brutal. and generally, karma is a bitch. it may not happen when you or i want it to but very rarely does it miss someone who deserves it. i cant think of any truly horrible person that didnt end up getting fucked 15 different ways by Karma. he will get his and it will be glorious to watch. he aint special. he doesnt have any magic. hell, the dude has had karma shit all over him in just about every endeavor he has ever been involved in. he just covers it up and pretends like the shit sandwiches he has been forced to eat over and over again were really caviar. but nah, he isnt a unicorn. he is just a rich white dude who has been afforded every advantage thus far. well that all stopped when he got indicted in NY and then in FL and now he is about to find out in GA and DC. the dude is fucked and he is going to fucking pay for all the absolutely stupid shit he has done. and im going to be laughing the entire time. he is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide (including my brother and my mother-in-law) and i will be cheering at his.

    To answer @Longhorn94 what you'd see on a $1M house

    school tax is around 1.5%, and there's a $40k deduction so you're currently paying:

    $1,000,000 - $40,000 = $960,000 * 1.5% = $14,400
    with new law:
    $1,000,000 - $100,000 = $900,000 * 1.5% = $13,500

    so savings of $900/year. Which will be completely wiped out by increase in your property's value next year so you'll still pay more taxes next year than this year.

     

    thx @blacklab! but someone up above said the 10% cap is still in place. so if that is true, it will be a small savings but still a savings.

    I'm sure they'll raise property taxes or remove exemptions from businesses to offset the loss in revenue........we don't give one shit about funding education in this state. It's survival of the fittest. And the people in this state keep sending them back year after year. 

    well, duh, thats because the most important and urgent issues facing this state are: 1. making sure liberals don't take away all of our guns; 2. making sure liberals dont kill all the babies; and 3. making sure liberals don't kill God; and 4. making sure liberals dont let all the mexicans into the state; and, and 5. making sure liberals can't vote.

    For me this could be anecdotal. I lived in New Mexico for about 15 years. My parents and my brother still live there. I have no desire to go back. The best way to describe it is that the state sucks the life out of you. It is really hard to escape your past. I would never recommend young people to move there either. If your committed to the outdoors and that will be a large part of your new life you will be pleased with the recreational activities. If you plan to live in the cities and try to enjoy that kind of life, you might end up painfully bored. Only so many blue corn enchiladas one can eat. It does have a unique history and places and things that are completely different from the Texas experience but even with that you could get tapped out quickly. 

    If you are looking for higher elevations (7000 ft elevation) with nice summers and skiing in the winter, Pinetop has Sunrise and flagstaff has Snow Bowl. A little lower and Durango has a lot of the same things nearby. 

    Love Flagstaff!

  10. I don't know you but I have been where you are. 13 years ago I lost everything and had to start over. I made it with a lot of help from friends, some on this board. Let us know you're ok and what kind of work you are looking for. If you need someone to listen, PM me for my cell. I'm available anytime.

  11. I fly out of AUS weekly. It's a relatively easy airport to get to, fly out of, and fly into. Very few delays. Almost no issues. It's my favorite airport and am glad it's my home base. JFK and LAX can be nightmares. And don't get me started on SFO or LaGuardia. MSP and Det are also great. SLC is awesome. ATL is not so much.

    I did fly out this morning and I have never seen it like that. The clear line was crazy long and it was the shortest.

    As Jim Trusty loves to say, there's no criminal penalty for violation of the PRA.

    If the President wishes to challenge the release of presidential records to the public, on privilege or other grounds, the exclusive venue for doing so is D. D.C.  https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/44/2204

    thank you for clearing that up. A Weissman is pretty adamant that Trump will be charged in DC while his assistants will be charged in FL. i wonder how he gets there.
