    This is how you humblebrag guys.  Our of curiosity, are you calculating this by taking the current value of your house in CA and just rolling over that value to TX tax rates?  Or are you comparing like to like houses in TX and CA and also accounting for the differences in housing prices?  And for your CA property tax liability you are using I assume a locked in property tax valuation (if I understand how those things work in CA right)?

    Is it?

    I fully acknowledge that my house, if picked up and dropped somewhere in Texas, would not be valued close to what it is now. I used average property tax rates for various zip codes to calculate Texas tax burden. For CA, I'm just going off of my tax bill from last year. IDK, maybe I'm way off.

    Agree to both of these.  I mean pay lower overall "income taxes".  They will still get hit with property taxes, sales taxes, etc..  They will also have to have a car, because unlike New York City, there is not really viable public transportation in Florida (or Texas really).  They do not think about any of that when making these decisions.  Most people don't.

    I've done the math and my annual tax burden would be higher in Texas than it currently is in California. Yes, the state income tax exists, but the property tax I would be paying in Texas is $21,000 more than I currently pay in CA.

  3. Ah yes, cancel culture. A recent phenomenon, for sure. I remember the good old days when people were simply fired for being gay, or not being the right religion, or having different political beliefs, or believing women should vote, or advocating for equal rights among the races.

    You are the perfect useful idiot for the government. The CIA has to be proud.

    LOL. Again, you compared vaccine mandates - to the genocide of millions of innocent men, women, and children. 

    CIA lol. You are an insane person.

  5. As Texas fans, we spent 2010-present, bitching about how our offenses were ill-equipped to take advantage of the deep talent pool in-state. We watched athletes and speedsters head to lesser programs and produce, while we plodded along to middling records with uninspiring play calling and production. Aggy made fun of us. Their answer was to pay 100 million dollars to do the same thing.

  6. Here's a guide from reddit from earlier this summer. I wouldn't suggest following to a "T," because there have since been a number of better cards released, but you get the idea.

    Conquest maps are good way to earn packs of cards and earn "XP." Earning XP will progress you through the monthly "inning program."

    Every month a new "inning program" is released. Earning 350xp before the month ends, leaves you with a choice of three cards to pick.

    There are so many ways to earn players that you cannot do it all unless you make this a full time job. I

    I am getting bored with my Road to the Show guy so gonna give DD a try as well. 

    I did Road to the show for several years in a row. Only mode I touched. Dabbled with DD about 3 years ago and after the first day, its the only mode I've played since. Its highly addicting and rewarding. There's a great thread on the subreddit that walks newcomers through DD as it can be overwhelming and complex. Ill see if I can find it.

    never played or even clicked on DD, so i don't even know how it works. any advice for a first timer?

    Hit up the Team Affinity 3 and Team Affinity 4 programs. Do the Team Affinity4 conquest maps. When you go into DD, click on "programs" and you will see numerous pathways to earn points that will help you get the cards you want. Check out the marketplace and ID cards you may be interested in and do what you need to do to earn them. There are some pretty quick player programs as well. 99 Tim Anderson is pretty easy to earn. I think 99 All Star Acuna is pretty easy to earn as well.

    Jimbo is late Texas Mack Brown. The program parallels are almost a 100% match.

    Agreed. This is their version of our 2010 season. Top-ten preseason. New QB. Program revealed to be active and uncontrollable dumpster fire. At least we had a decade of success with a NC and a handful of big bowl wins before hitting the skids.
