  1. When I first moved to Texas I thought it would be a similar type structure. I assumed each school district would set an annual budget. Property valuations would be used to determine your payment or percent of that total budget. So if you had a $100K valued house and it increased 10% to 110K, but the overall value of property in your school district increased by 15% on average, then you would pay LESS in taxes because your portion of the total school district property values went down and it would be applied to a fixed annual budget amount. The idea that property values would be done annually and if values went up the school district got more money without regard to budgeting and planning made no sense. Of course with Robin Hood it really means that if property values go up everyone pays more to get approximately the same school district budget but the school district pays more to the State who then gives it to other school districts. Or the State lowers the per student amount they give everyone which would be paid from other revenue sources and they use the additional tax/Robin Hood funds to cover the state paying less of the per student bill. Great system. Clear as mud.
  2. An interesting question with this would be how many of the ICU patients are there because of Covid or were admitted for something else and just tested positive as well.
  3. So what is the repair shop owners Surly ID? And what is the ex-employees Texags ID?
  4. 6,000? Fuck you! 5,782 or GTFO!
  5. They also asked to double up your masks if you don't have those. Seems like a round about way to say cloth masks don't do much. You see, Chotchkie’s Middle School doesn’t require you to wear a mask. Now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to do just the bare minimum. Or….well, like hall monitor Brian, for example, has 3 masks, okay. And a terrific smile…..which we can’t see.
  6. Is it possible I signed up for one of those and did not know about it? If we were Catholic that would explain a lot.
  7. Now that Christmas is over, don't you even have Time for Asian Dawn?
  8. Exactly! Two front war? When in history has this ever been problematic.
  9. As long as they got the perfect picture to post on social media.
  10. I’m willing to make her immortal.
  11. I told my son this same thing last night. Get the fucking quote right assholes!
  12. As Arians said, Antonio Brown is only going to get one strike. And since this is his third strike and it was done incredibly publicly, Arians makes the courageous decision.
  13. Yes, but sadly the chick on the left is not shopped.
  14. Pro Choice! My body, my choice! ……. Of intoxicants.
  15. Is that what you kids are calling it now-a-days?
  16. Your kind has no place here.
  17. You need to blend. So instead of taking it neat, take it "on the paste", or "on the hoof" if your bartender is an aggy grad.
  18. What would be interesting is if the technology determined someone was impaired and then the result was a requirement that the car be self driving to drive the person to their destination. So if determined to be impaired you could not choose to manually drive, but the car could only be "driven" through self driving technology. This would cover drinking, texting etc.
  19. So post pictures of the "twin."
  20. I usually agree with this, but I think Ponderer's last 5-6 posts have been on point and pretty amusing. And anyone who has an issue with a discussion or topic somewhere and then hunts down another posters unrelated posts to Neg is a massive little bitch. Neg the post in question if that is what you want, but seeking unrelated posts to Neg is a bad reflection on you.
  21. AT&T stadium is nice, and there is not really any "bad" seats. People bag on it saying it is not like a "stadium", and what they mean is it is nice, and when walking around it is not like walking inside a giant concrete and steel girder erector set like a "real" stadium. It is like being in a mall. TV's everywhere to watch the game, restrooms are clean and have lots of stalls, and there is interesting art work and architecture. I have sat in a section that was as high as 414 before and the view is very good, but the players will seem small (as with any high stadium seats), but site lines are good. One thing about the experience is that unless you are on the lower bowl levels the TV is soooo big and the picture is soooo good that you will find yourself watching the TV and not the field as it is a bigger and better view. That is one thing that is both good and bad about the experience. You can see everything clearly, but the best view and what draws your eye is the giant Video screen.
  22. Because you hate everyone, or you want everyone to hate you?
  23. Two quarters.
  24. Neither does “Homeless Haven”. But Austin is likely getting both of these.
