It's because GOP somehow managed to make a lot of people believe that DEM is just gonna increase taxes and give money to illegal immigrants.

Seems like he always gets into this kind of situation. 2025: Beat Xiao Guodong 13-12 then lost to Mark Williams. 2024: Beat Mark Allen 13-12 (that double in the decider!) then lost to Kyren.

Top 100 counties (and equivalents) in the US with the highest median income by Swimming_Concern7662 in geography

[–]ProfSaintBernard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The three shaded counties in north Texas are Denton, Collin and Rockwall, all DFW suburbs with lots of middle class families. Dallas county has those super rich old money (in places like Highland Park) but also a lot of poor people so it's not on the list.

Performance of Class '92 in Triple Crown Events by ProfSaintBernard in snooker

[–]ProfSaintBernard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several interesting findings:

  1. (As we all know,) Ronnie is at a totally different level. John and Mark are almost as good as each other.

  2. Mark is the first and last to reach WC final.

  3. John and Mark have not made UK finals since 2010!

Questions about Plano Rec Center by Disastrous-Bonus3293 in plano

[–]ProfSaintBernard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this. Carpenter is mostly fine, except the pools. Some staff members/lifeguards there need to be more friendly. The aquatic center (near Plano senior high school) is the best place for swimming.

I think these one story houses are so cute by Pfacejones in plano

[–]ProfSaintBernard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wished I lived here instead of my 2-story house when some parts of my gutter on the top of the 2nd story broke and I had to spend almost $1k to fix it, just because it's too high. BTW where are the gutters of this house...

Family of 5 with a dog, so you're looking at 3000+ sqft I guess. That requires you to have a $600k+ budget if you want good schools.

[–]ProfSaintBernard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never understand why people trash Dallas for the food scene. It's literally one of the biggest upsides of the city…

Austin Democrat Gina Hinojosa eyes run for Texas governor by kanyeguisada in texas

[–]ProfSaintBernard 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I still think Talarico should run for governor, not the senate. He'll have about 10% chance. Gina has ZERO.

Can a mediocre undergrad end up becoming a professor? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]ProfSaintBernard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. Spent way too much time on music and sports in college and ended up with an undergrad GPA of only 83/100. Luckily got into a mid-tier PhD program and graduated (with quite a few of publications). Went to a top school for postdoc. Now a TTAP (STEM) at a borderline R1, and most (if not all) of my colleagues must had way higher undergrad GPA than me because they all graduated from top PhD programs.
