What? How does voting in a primary have anything to do with eligibility? Even card carrying members vote in the opposition ones if they think that's the more important vote.

For that matter, having to pick one primary to vote in is also dumb.

When you vote in a party primary you basically register as a member of that party for one election cycle and for the duration you are not allowed to do thing with the other parties. This is most notably seen via voting in one parties primary makes you ineligible to participate in another parties primary but also goes up to standing as a candidate.

The latter. There is an awesome shop in California that has been pushing for proper Nixtamal tortillas in the home kitchen and I got hooked awhile back. Grinding is the biggest obstacle.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
The Texas Board of Law Examiners is using the same company Florida planned to use for their online bar exam. They had communicated that they would be monitoring Florida's test and considering apprenticeships. Florida's test was just canceled/delayed with less than 72 hours to go before the test because the software had a ridiculous amount of issues. Florida has announced they will have their exam in October and use a different company for the software now.

The Texas Board of Law Examiners announced despite this and their past comments, no changes are going to be made. The in person exam is still happening in 4 cities in September and the October exam is still scheduled. They haven't even changed software companies. Ridiculous. Even more so when you consider before this 5 Justices on the Texas Supreme Court thought alternate paths to license should be allowed during the pandemic, they just went 3/2 on if it should be diploma privilege or apprenticeships. Since they couldn't agree on that, they decided to still have the in person "pandemic proof" test or the online option. This is ridiculous.

UT and A&M are both doing 15-25% of classes in person, and will have students living in dorms. Not sure about Tech or UH. UT starts classes next Wednesday, August 26, and students are probably already showing up to campus.

Apologies for the non-Texas content, but I've been following the UNC news because I'm a fan of another longtime ACC stalwart (Notre Dame) that went all-in on going back to in-person education for reasons that were definitely, completely, TOTALLY unrelated to football... and after one week down, has racked up new positive cases in almost exactly the same proportion (relative to student body size) as what UNC just saw, and has soaring positivity rates even worse than what UNC is reporting. So, uh, my condolences to fans of any other school that tries to plow ahead and save their football season on the insane belief that college students will act like anything other than college students.

They could disallow city governments from decreasing PD funding lower than the previous year's expenditures, and in fact I think that's what they're gonna propose.

We visited the town of Bandera last weekend outside of San Antonio, and every shop had this sign in the window. They all coordinated with each other. Also all the shop employees/owners were old and overweight.



It seems like small towns in TX desperately want tourism business, but also really hope those tourists bring Coronavirus into their communities.

We left without going into any stores obviously.

This dumbass state deserves this.
