Also, Wayne of the Monday night football replacement referee fiasco (The Fail Mary) that I believe was not his fault at all.

U.S. Beef Industry in absolute crisis
It was a guy's laid back trip so nothing extraordinary. Some gambling, our traditional Delmonico's and Javier's and there was some alcohol consumed.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Was scrolling through some listings today and the front picture of this one house had the caption "This home features a driveway, a front yard, an attached garage, brick siding and a shingle roof" I might have found the (cue Joe Theismann) Norman Einstein of realtors

U.S. Beef Industry in absolute crisis
Guess who got home from Vegas to find a crapped out freezer? This guy. We lost probably 120 pounds of steak and ground beef from half a calf, 30 pounds of deer hamburger and other venison, and about the same in chicken and other poultry. We were able to save some with a full smoker, a Weber Genesis with the griddle accessory and cast iron skillets.

2026 Property Tax Thread
PIcked a random house in Pflugerville. Land value up 70% (regular city lot). Improvements down 34% for a net decrease of 6.7%. This happened on a widespread basis, especially in "Old Town" Pflugerville. They have a 9,000 square foot lot at $180,000.

It’s Not Raining Ever: 2026 Edition
Usually I have about a quarter of acre that is solid bluebonnets. This year, I'm thinking of just mowing them down instead of trying to mow around them

2026 Property Tax Thread
Pay attention to the details, not just the total amount. Fuckery is afoot. They are raising the land value tremendously and offsetting that with a decline in improvement value for this year. Next year, any improvement valuation increase will go to the bottom line

Tell Me About Heat Pumps
I have nothing to compare it to as regards to efficiency, I've always a heat pump at this house. The supplemental is in the same unit as far as I know. I'm not even sure if my unit is variable speed, although the contractor (my cousin) has been out to slow down the fan as it was cooling the house too quickly and not getting the humidity out. I have 2 either 3.5 tons or 4 tons with spray foam insulation.

Tell Me About Heat Pumps
The supplemental heat is merely heating bands that get hot and the air blows across them. I've never had a problem keeping the house warm enough. I'm also in an all electric house so I don't have the gas furnace possibility.

Chuck Norris has passed
Chuck had a youth program for a while called KickStart. It was in several local school disctricts including all of the middle schools in Pflugerville at the time. Both stepkids went through at least a year of it. The son got into football and it stopped there. The daughter was in it for 3 years. The first year is learning and performing katas at meets (all of the way up to statewide). The second year she began sparring and chose to concentrate on that instead of learning weaponry such as fans, bo staff, katana and sai. You could even stick with it through high school if so inclined. Chuck would visit the local meets and take pictures with the kids and they all got a huge kick (see what I did there) from it. He's a lot smaller than you think, but seemed like he genuinely cared how the kids were doing in the program. Please excuse the crappy quality of the pictures. Chuck intimidated the camera.

High speed and high revs gives you a lot of pin action. It's actually harder than it looks as it's very easy to get off balance. I've bowled a couple of games 2 handed and didn't care for it

Your Favorite Singing In Movies
Bit of an obscure movie, but it's not bad for singing actors. Paul Giamatti did his own vocals, but Andre Braugher's were actually done by Arnold McCuller. He toured with Phil Collins and was part of Lyle Lovett's Large Band for years, absolutely incredible. Gwyneth Paltrow sings a duet with Huey Lewis that is pretty good also.

Sorry, too late to edit. I meant builder's local management not a local builder, they are a national publicly traded.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Anecdotal story incoming. Have had dealings with a local builder through helping my neighbors sell their farm. Got it closed and they 1031'd about 6 million so all is good on their end. Talked to the builders rep over the weekend. He is now saying that they most likely won't even begin to turn dirt until '28 or even '29. They have pulled out of their other contracts and have laid off half of their support staff. They don't see things improving for several years on their end. This a national builder and publicly traded so not some mom and pop shop.- Anybody have jellyfish lighting?
Gemstone has it's own app connected through the home wifi- Anybody have jellyfish lighting?
The timer function is where the app gets wonky. Setting up is no problem. I have about 10 set up for different things running from sunset to a preset time. The problems come in when you try to change the timer to a different pattern, or you change to a one off (ie, Super Bowl night we had Seahawks fans over, so I put on the Seahawks lights). Sometimes the app doesn't want to go back to the timer- RIP Robert Duvall

Slight quibble, but not all taxes are frozen. I believe it is only the school tax. City, county, ESD, MUD, etc still move with the appraisal- Anybody have jellyfish lighting?
Gemstone? My only complaint is that the app is absolutely horrible. Completely counterintuitive and not very easy to change certain things. - All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
