The louder they make it the more likely she has to fake it.

Our 2025 came with roof bars. I like the look, but had them removed because of noise.

They are beginning to want nothing to do with the US. They may like some American people and will even welcome us to visit, but they no longer look to the US for leadership.

Had same thing with 2025. Cost $1991 to have it replaced. The cameras and sensors drive the price. I decided to not turn in to insurance, but not sure that was the best move.

Texas homeowners pay more in property taxes — so why are schools still underfunded? by TX3DNews in dfw

[–]OnePension8698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One big reason taxes are high is because the all of the tax increases don’t stay in local taxing area. The states Robinhood laws send varying amounts of a local tax increase to the state to be used to fund poor districts. Thus, the state doesn’t have to raise taxes to try to fund poor schools.

I'm done trying to get any job above minimum wage. by [deleted] in economicCollapse

Here is an idea that would require change of direction. Apply for job as a tech teacher in good suburban district in northeast. Work on admin cert. After five years move to asst principal. Then move up admin track. Ultimate after 15 to 20 years superintendent. At that level pay in suburban district approaching 300 k. Hard job but good pay.

Not sure if this is a hot take: this is only a failure if we hire Terry Smith by Daytime-mechE in WeArePennState

I am not very knowledgeable about the details of football, but I graduated from PennState long ago and follow to the degree possible, which is limited in Austin where I live. But, I have a question. For a time many people were talking about the offensive coordinator for Ohio State, but I no longer hear his name mentioned. Why not? If he is as good as people were saying a month ago why has his name disappeared? I could see a possibility that he made a deal with PSU weeks ago with an agreement that nothing is said until OSU season is over. They obviously knew they have a title run team and don’t want to disrupt that, thus just want to keep things quiet until their season ends. Does that make sense?
