Tell Me About Texas a&m
I hope PSU offers him $150M, and aggy gives him the 10 year contract extension after putting a second mortgage on both the baseball and football stadiums. Then PSU has to find some second tier coach and pay them 9 figures.

But note that in retirement, you'll hopefully have a HS exemption and a senior exemption (Over 65, IIRC). Those should drive down your tax burden pretty significantly. You'll freeze your ISD taxes, and drops the net appraised value for other taxing units significantly. But back to hating on Austin's BS:

I mean, that Vandy game wasn't exactly short. They had to circle jerk for 5 minutes just to figure out if there was a way to screw us out of the on-side kick.

Get a password manager. I do 40+ character passwords all the time. Just remember your Password Manager password, and it does the rest for you. Been preaching this to management for ages, to get them away from Password123 and other breached passwords.

You've gotta be a little more realistic with your comparison. Your home value will vary wildly between each of these sites. 800K house might get you 700 sq ft in one state, and 3500 sq ft in another. Utility costs, fuel costs, insurance costs, etc. Comparing your 800 sq ft loft in Portland with a Prius vs a 3000 sq ft house in Leander with a Ram 1500 is not exactly apples to apples.

I mean, if Kirby gets a harness cuck on his staff, we should employ someone to troll the refs the entire time up and down the sideline while Sark does his thing. /s

They've also attempted to grow the police force to match the officer per resident ratios, which was a major reason for the growth. Again, not defending some of the dumb shit they do, but population growth leads to the necessary growth of Fire, Police, EMS. The 4 employees per truck approach on the trucks, not sure how that stands up to national averages, but doesn't seem too out of line, either...

The fact that Vanessa twatwaffle is in Japan on the city's expense right now is asinine. The $10M to artists that aren't even based in Texas is another level of bullshit.

Are you kidding me?! Every Pro-Q group is either one of the many homeless NGOs, or some other group of asshats funded by the City Council. The dude that's the sock puppet for Love Austin PAC is Watson's former campaign manager, some kid that's maybe 2 years out of school and looks like John Belushi's morning shit. This camp houses the grifters and shills of Travis County, the dishonest shitstains of public service and money-grabbing non-profits. The Anti-PropQ crowd is about as non-partisan as you can get for city of Austin. I've seen the usual suspects (SAN and Mat Mackoviak) all the way to left leaning orgs saying avoid it at all costs. The main point they've been trying to vocalize is that city council codes all their ancillary projects into the budget, and leaves the essentials on the chopping block to play to the voter base. "Voting against Q is voting to cut police, fire, and essential city services," when in fact they need adults in the room that can set a budget within their means. And to speak to point 2, no one in here is saying the AISD taxes are acceptable, but AISD taxes aren't on the ballot. Recapture needs to be audited and rebalanced, as it seems to have completely overshot the initial desired outcomes of bringing the small districts into parity with the big ones, and now all the big districts are suffering. The fact we elected last go-round to jack up AISD taxes to the sum of $90M just so the district could pocket $20M says how fucked recapture is, and how stupid the voter base is to keep voting for every damn tax increase.

First off, does the Price / kwh factor in fees? Austin has a ton. Second off, Houston is not a monopoly. I can't speak for Dallas, but when I lived in Houston, we had the choice in power provider, so you can actually shop around. Austin, on the other hand, has no choices, if you're in Austin or a large swath of Travis County, you're forced to use them and pay their fees that are back-filling the general fund of the City of Austin. If you're "donating" this amount of money back to the general fund, it makes you wonder what kind of overcharging they're doing. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/why-does-austin-energy-transfer-millions-back-to-the-citys-general-budget/

Austin Energy itself is a giant fucking scam. They're a monopoly, and they stack fees on your bill to, well: If you're going to offer rebates, how about NOT fleecing the customers to finance them?!

Ah yes, the ol' Bob Stoops Service Loop.- The Biggest Scam Profession
Man, that's some damn good service right there. The big names around Austin would just upsell you to the next tier if they had a part missing, to the tune of a couple grand more. Used to use Precision religiously, but when Fox Service bought them out, it went WAY down hill. They came out a few months ago to troubleshoot the indoor unit not working. Sent a greenish tech, and they triaged the unit for a good 2 hours, replaced the transformer then put a fan motor on order. Given this was a Friday afternoon around 4, they couldn't get the motor in hand until at least the next day. I called the office the next day, and swapping the fan motor is considered a new install, so they had to assign a different tech to return and install the unit, and installers only work M-F 8-5 hours, so had to sit the entire weekend. Fast forward to Monday, they tried to duck out for another no AC call, but the tech had already talked to me, and I told him the situation, and he came early and swapped the motor for me. Now 2 months later, they come out for an annual maintenance on the system, and they stated we really need to clean the fan (the one they pulled 2 months prior to swap the motor) and it was $800 to clean it since they'd have to pull it again. Could have easily taken a brush to it for 2 minutes while it was out of the system and knocked off all the dust and debris before mounting the new motor, but that would have made too much sense, right?- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
