Prop 13 is fun. It is also why our income and sales taxes are so high and makes local governments extremely reliant on state funding for schools.

Returning to steak chat I have decided the only steak I will eat from a restaurant and not feel bad thinking I could do better would be when I go to a Japanese steak house. The wife and I went to our favorite local one last night on a date which is not a chain but independent. The filet mignon is unlike anything else. Of course you have to get it with garlic. My parents came to watch our kids so we could take the night out. My wife was expecting eating a burger when I suggested we go to Cheesecake Factory or Bonsai. It was that we could get some noodles that made us choose Bonsai and it was The Right Choice^TM

Seems like a lot of people are leaving for a reason. I just hired a guy that left CA for FL because he said the cost of living was getting ridiculous. Rent rates here are getting high but compared to Cali it's nothing. Plus no state income tax, and if you move to the Gulf Coast you're still on the west coast :v:

There was a mini KKK meet here in town this morning. Only one guy in the robes and hoods but I hear there were about 25 people all told. So some students went and set up shop across the street to protest their hate.

Guess which group got busted up by the police with multiple arrests?

GUESS.

Another feather in Indiana's cap. The last police chief had klan ties so I thought this was going away. Our mayor has like 16 siblings ( wish I was kidding) and one of his brothers also has klan ties so it's not surprising. Indiana makes no secret of it's pro klan status.

Iowa's fine as well. Still GOPland, but people aren't huge assholes about it and the cities reliably go blue. The pay's probably better up by the twin cities, though. Go west, young man!

Thats what I mean. Even florida for all its faults doesn't have the KKK marching down the streets of tampa/miami/jacksonville/tallahassee.

It's really weird since I'm used to tactile switches and this is linear. Actuation can be changed with a keyboard shortcut too.

To be honest, we didn't have much of a winter this year. Barely any snow stuck around for more than a week and it was 60 loving degrees last Wednesday. Compare that to last year where we were the coldest area on the whole planet for 4 straight days and uh yeah we might have a climate change problem :ohdear:

No, he's implying that every other not-very-observant clown on the road will think your a cop and will stick to the speed limit like it's their job.
