i say swears online posted:I'm always surprised to see how populated northeast texas is. Lots of little towns I guess You can pretty much trace a line through the bright dots from Dallas to north Louisiana, and it will almost match I-20. Tyler and Longview are pretty big probably because I-20 is a huge corridor for shipping since it goes from coast to coast. Buckee's, Love's, and Duke's are the landmarks I remember mostly when going back to LA to visit family.

They're building up I-69 through Lufkin, Nacogdoches, and Texarkana so all those smaller places may start growing as well.

If Tyler and Longview weren't fools and decided to build up an airport between the cities instead of each have their own regional one, things would be better off for both places. However, dumb regional city rivalries will prevent this forever.

HS football is actually a pretty big drag on ed reform. It's probably the major obstacle in district/campus consolidation. You know aside from the insane amounts of money we spend on it instead of classroom instruction.

In theory, monetizing academic sports can help schools pay for things, but in practice they suck that value right back out with expensive equipment, facilities, and coaches. It also relies on extracting value out of students without reimbursing them in any way. It's good to give students some physical activity, but it should never be done at the cost of compromising the main purpose of schools.

https://twitter.com/NWSSPC/status/1215336494291963905 To my great shame I lived in KS for three years, long enough to experience the 1991 Andover tornado that almost hit my house, but we had basements to go into to seek shelter. I still get a little antsy around huge storms especially since all we've got is interior rooms. Very few houses in Texas have basements, and you've probably heard it's due to the clay soil or other some such, but there's literally no reason other than culture.

I watched them dig a ginormous hole multiple times at UTD for buildings, not to mention all the other buildings that have multi story basements or underground parking structures.

The article goes into it, it's possible of course, but it gets expensive. I live in the Hill Country north of SAT and people here CAN get swimming pools, but they're almost double the cost of other locations because the amount of rock that needs to be blown up and removed to put one in. I've heard from neighbors that unless you have 60K don't even think about an in ground pool. The house I'm living in now is sitting directly on limestone, they literally just scraped the topsoil off the lot and poured the foundation right on top. They had to jackhammer my fence posts in. Can you build a house with a basement here? Yeah if you have the money. I wouldn't say it's so much a cultural thing, it's a financial thing. My last house was in an expansive soil area, I wouldn't have wanted to deal with a basement there either. You can engineer for almost anything if you have enough money. I lived in Topeka for years, and basements are awesome for lots of reasons, but I wouldn't pay the extra money it would take to have one here in Texas. If I ever custom build though, a nice lot that would allow a basement style walkout of the back of the house would be pretty cool.

Some relatively interesting riders, but overall nothing too exotic: https://www.themonitor.com/2020/01/08/sushi-steak-booze-mcallen-taxpayers-funded-enrique-iglesias-lavish-requests/ Makes me wonder how much of that food went to waste. One of my brothers worked as an executive chef for a hotel that regularly hosted Cruise, Depp, Clooney, etc. and said that most of that king stuff ended up being thrown out.

So my wife and I are probably going to vote for the first time in a primary election this year. The Democratic one. Do we like, just show up? Do we need anything more than our drivers license? Edit: does Texas still have that primary and a caucus deal? Numlock fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Jan 10, 2020 |

Make sure you're registered to vote in the county you live in, deadline is Feb. 8th or somewhere around there. You can check your status here. For voting itself you need a valid form of identification, drivers license is enough. Your address on your DL does not have to match your voter registration, don't let the old ladies stop you from voting. Texas Democratic Party allocates state level delegates in accordance with percentage of popular vote for candidates who received more than 15 percent of the vote based on the State Senate district in which they received that vote. More here. Don't worry about caucuses. If you vote one party's primary, you cannot go vote in that other party's runoff. If you sign a petition for a candidate to be placed on a party's primary ballot, you cannot vote for another party.
