The clear answer is to join the Sam Houston Underground, honoring the best Texas Founding Father's wish to never succeed from the union by engaging in insurgency against the Texas Republic forces and providing aid and intelligence to Union forces.

Some unlucky Houston-area HVAC repairman got the scare of his life at the hands of a disgraced cop turned QAnon: https://twitter.com/SchwartzChron/status/1338956972268326913 Houston Chronicle posted:Aguirre ran his SUV into the back of a truck belonging to an air conditioner repairman he had been surveilling, convinced the truck contained 750,000 fraudulent ballots. Aguirre then pointed his gun at the repairman, forced him to the ground and put his knee on the man’s back, prosecutors said. No ballots were found in the truck. edit: dammit zoux My condolences to all of the future procrastinators who will be scrambling to renew their tags and file their taxes in back-to-back days

i let mine lapse last year for a couple months because i wasn't driving much. expired in july, i got it inspected and registered in october, but my new sticker was still 07-19 to 07-20 that's why i wanted to wait, seems expensive for just a few months if i have to do it again next july

Mistaken Frisbee posted:I've been wondering about this too. Mine expired after October. Does my registration restart when I register again, or from the date in which it expired? It seems to be based on when your registration last expired. Regardless of when you register again, your new registration sticker will expire in October 2021. Source: https://www.fox7austin.com/news/governor-abbott-extends-online-vehicle-registration-renewal-date One other annoying thing, if your registration lapses by more than 9 months, you won't be able to get your new registration online--you'll have to do it in person.

my roommate is my landlord and last week he tried to throw out the silverware and replace it with plastic stuff because it's easier to clean and/or toss. our dishwasher broke 16 months ago and he's too cheap to replace it so he washes everything by hand. we had a stern talking-to about being an adult and at least i have my silverware back

They're also gentrifying the hell out of the old red light district - rebuilt all the infrastructure and everything. Now that I think about it, I hope we get a bunch of prostitution themed shops. The tone's about right

They're building 2,000sqft homes on tiny lots for over $300k, it's crazy (for reference, I bought a 2,800sqft house on a 10,000ft lot in 2018 for $200k).
