  1. They’ll grant it because it will help balance the pods and let aggy play LSU and the Mississippi schools each year and gets them away from OU (they’d rather lose 9/10 to LSU than 7/10 to OU) but then they’ll assign us as rivals because there is no way they don’t have us playing each other every year. The SEC Network basically came up with this immediately after the news broke with the exception of the rivalry game.
  2. When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.
  3. Anybody want to live like a king? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/11005-Spicewood-Pkwy-Austin-TX-78750/29374345_zpid/
  4. I mean, the massive increase in land value, plus material and labor increase has raised what were new homes in the 200s up to the 400s pretty rapidly. If you’re set on a new home that’s going to be hard to find, still I’m seeing some options closer than Belton in your range. https://www.redfin.com/TX/Liberty-Hill/Butler-Farms-Americana-Collection/The-Teton-320/home/178376285 I’m also finding some 1-2 owner type homes in Round Rock/Georgetown that are likely new enough for most people. Belton is a good area, if you like it then that’s awesome and do your thing, but know there are ways to get closer on your budget, you just have to decide what the trade off is.
  5. Dumbass chart, most Texans drink unsweet iced tea and may (or may not) add sweetener to it. Sweet tea might as well be called diabetes water.
  6. https://www.redfin.com/TX/Florence/0-Fm-243-78605/home/178349388 Meh it’s a little high but not wildly so. Lots of factors in land valuation from water/timber/minerals to zoning/location/access/topography that can make that value swing dramatically. This looks like it’s designed for a California buyer that wants a “Texas ranch” and is priced as such. Still your point stand, values are just crazy fucked in all markets at the moment.
  7. East Texas strip clubs are all horribad outside of Jaguars in Longview and that’s only because they ship in weekday B night talent from their parent club in DFW for the weekend…or so I’ve been told.
  8. Brand new house is just about $500k anywhere near Austin the add this ”10 unrestricted, ag-exempt acres in GeorgetownISD! ” and you’ll easily be over a million.
  9. I get that but it’s based on the fact that wind blows harder at night and the windmills generate excess electricity that they sell for pennies on the dollar. This drives traditional power generators to lower their yields as well. If you had a large commercial endeavor that could run at night you could sell that excess energy and make more money which will allow for higher profits and more generators/windmills to pop up since they will be quicker to recoup their investments. Make them a deal on their energy use between certain hours and have the ability to turn them off during peak hours and this could be highly beneficial for all.
  10. Please quote where I said anything about a subsidy. I’ll wait.
  11. Yep this is generally a good plan. Similarly power generators waste electricity at night (which is why some offer free electricity after dark in hope that you avoid using high energy appliances like washers/dryers until after dark) so having bitcoin miner use that electricity and increase demand will increase their ROI and encourage more new generators which will help during peak consumption periods ESPECIALLY if the miners can be disabled by ERCOT or the like. I assume we’ll fuck it up somehow but it’s not a bad plan as some here are claiming.
  12. Is Bob Stoops eating bags of dicks an identity or a decision?
  13. This is an odd response. I’m not sure what your point is but what ever you are trying to say…please just stay out of my neighborhood. Thanks.
  14. I feel like one of the unwashed masses now. My driver’s watch is only worth $50k.
  15. Not that it happens regularly, but getting final bug sprint in before a pre announced product launch or convention it can.
  16. You guys do Home Equity Loans or just mortgages? Doing a full add on renovation and will need about $200k before it’s all through, and I have plenty of equity. Mortgage is 2.75% so I don’t think I’ll be doing a cash out refi unless it’s a last resort.
  17. Every town on Highway 31 between Corsicana and Athens is on my shit list. Since they added the Corsicana bypass it’s way faster than 79. Everyone else on the highway is making bypasses and trying to keep traffic moving while those fucking towns are having the speed limit drop from 60 to 45 and then back to 60 in a 0.5 mile span for a bank, a post office, and a fucking pecan company. That’s Powell, TX, look it up on google maps, I’m not exaggerating. Fuck Powell, Kerens, Trinidad, and Malakoff right in the ass.
  18. So the entire state lowers is burden by $15000 which is a lot for most of Texas, meaning that more rural markets will start dipping into the Robinhood fund that the Austin market pays into where as a 15000 decrease in Austin values is very little when the median house price is now over half a million. Or am I thinking about that backwards somehow.
  19. Wife ordered some dryer balls from Amazon because she saw someone talking about them on Facebook. They are all over the house now, obviously they are critical the the drying process.
