tell her to talk to my wife about her hesitancy for the side trip to madrid a month ago from barcelona to catch the man city-real madrid champions league match at bernabeu and then how she felt about it after the experience.

It is about as much work as writing this post. It ain’t hard…it is seriously the effort of a nine year old for any adult with a functional grasp on elementary school math. and they aren’t doing that work either. They are just leveraging the corrupt relationships to meet in the middle and then charge you for lowering your assessed value even though it is probably still higher than your taxable value. and you shouldn’t be glad. You should be frustrated that the taxing authority is so bad at its job that an entire cottage industry of law school dropouts exists to rip you off as a result.

Based on what? Pithy nonsense aside, I have won every time I have protested. Just have to go to court to get past the stacked nonsense of the TCAD farce of a process. LOL at paying scam artists who live off said process to do the work of a nine year old. I figured you’d just pull your dick out and offer to lay some pipe before your nap.

i do every year. why wouldn't i? wtf do the idiots whose lives are so shitty they have to work for a property tax protest company know that i don't know? This year, they raised my house by 6% despite no changes to the house. I pulled 27 properties within 700 feet of mine and literally every one of them went down except mine...by a mean of 33% and a median of 39%. not some of them, all of them. all in improvements because everyone's land stayed the exact same as the previous year. i provided this evidence as inequity to neighbors in my informal hearing yesterday with some absolute dipshit reading off a script to describe to me why the three properties that they picked as comps for inequitable treatment to neighbors that averaged over three times larger a lot size and were an average of 2.5 miles away from me were more relevant than the 27 contiguous properties bordering my house. that was amusing. next up, explaining this to three octogenarians that tcad provides lubys for who will just sleep through my explanation of this to do absolutely nothing of value and then i get to go to court. hooray.

i pulled my house and all 37 of my neighboring properties within a radius of 700 feet of my house. every single property had precisely the same land value 2023 to 2024. 36 of the 37 properties that neighbor me went down on improvements by anywhere from 9% to 60% with a mean of 33% and a median of 39% and a stdev of 10%. the one that did not undertook a major renovation and increased their sqft by 1,000 sqft. It went up 3.9%. mine went up 6%. I did no major updates, renovations, anything. i got a variance to do some retention walls in the setbacks. that's it. i uploaded the spreadsheet that is overwhelmingly demonstrative of the bullshit take by tcad to support not equitable to neighbors and i get a list of two houses that are on lots three times bigger that are over a mile a way from me and a settlement offer of my noticed amount. i suspect my informal protest will not go well by the time i am done ranting to those cocksuckers as to what a bunch of fucking morons they are. i suspect my formal protest won't go well because armybrat's granddad is going to be asleep after his tcad provided lubys. so on to court.

I was possessed by the spirit of Goredho a few weeks back (but went new instead of revolving door of used like our favorite nutcase). i have been surprised by how much I have enjoyed playing it, the fullness of the low end on it, and how inspirational it has been.

this is downright silliness. now the damn switch at the top of my les paul when i start wailing away at it like a jackass? you would have a point.

you're welcome arsenal/city.

Saucy first half here… IMG_6364.mov IMG_6365.mov IMG_6358.mov IMG_6362.mov

also relative currency value in the international market. he has always been a troll and a willing participant in being a mouthpiece for stupid culture war bullshit that get maga all rock hard but he is too fucking stupid to understand any of the variables contributing the idiotic point he thinks he is making.

correct. i think it is probably most wrong because i suspect that a material amount of the shares were acquired through compensation after amazon had taken off and had some market value so there would be a cost basis...not just all the shit he gave himself when he started the company. but it is not wrong to say he eliminated a hundred million plus tax liability by realizing the gain while a resident of florida instead of washington. it is, of course, the individually smart thing to do but the ethics of it given the importance of washington's infrastructure contributing to the success of amazon's formative years could certainly be debated. as is the fact that he is definitely paying a tres comas club federal tax bill.

they are coming to the $610 million by multiplying 7% by the current market value of the 50 million shares he stated he intends to sell - 24 million of which he has already sold. the 7% is the capital gains tax for the state of washington that began in 2022. florida does not have a capital gains tax so all of that is saved with no alternative taxes paid. that is, of course, all notwithstanding the federal capital gains tax he would pay, as well as the article not considering what portion of the current market value of those shares is comprised of the cost basis (if any) which would affect the taxable basis.

clever girl. lights!

relative to earth. they (the probes themselves) are moving away from earth at 38,000 and 34,300 mph respectively.

voyager 1: just over 38,000 miles per hour. voyager 2: just over 34,300 miles per hour.

i had a back fusion surgery three weeks ago on a thursday. hydrocodone through the weekend and last one on monday. none from tuesday forward. didn't take a shit until wednesday and it took two hours. the fusion was at the l5-s1 level so it required an anterior approach to start resutling in a scar in my abdomen that was still in surgical recovery. i told my wife that i just delivered a baby naturally with a c-section at the same time. anyway, if they don't have a predilection towards addiction, etc..., i wouldn't worry about it but if he is on it for more than a week or so, he does need to taper off or it won't be a fun couple of days.

but is patrick mahomes not a celebrity?

that's just because it was the first moment in the season where we had any plot advancement.

fucking bayern moneyline cost me a pretty penny as one of a five legger in which the other four hit easy. never fucking bet on a team going into italy. never works out.

dude, the preferred nomenclature is patagonian toothfish.

voyager 1 is currently 15.146 billion miles away from earth which is about 162 times the distance between the earth and the sun. it is 35 degrees north of the ecliptic in the direction of the solar apex in hercules. it has been in interstellar space for about 11 years now. you are not. voyager 2 is only 12.680 billion miles from earth. it is about 48 degrees below the ecliptic. radio waves move at approximately 300 million meters per second. signals from voyager 1 take a little more than 22 hours to make it to earth. signals from voyager 2 take about 18 and half hours.

When MML bought it and revamped it.

Our resident minor league catcher/homeless hunter nearly has me convinced.

Humblebrag?! As I said. It was laced with ostentatious pretension in order to big time gsoda’s take so as to prevail in this battle of rating matters of subjective taste and stanning for my boys at odd duck and dai due. but yeah, immamac’s not wrong. back to horrific stories of the desperate and mentally disturbed nut jobs and substance abusers we live amongst doing awful things and dumb traffic pattern management.
