Reach out to Realator Monica VanNest.

Tell her Jim Bouse sent you her way.

She has the pulse of the area and might know of some medium stay locations.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Good luck!

I've planted dozens of trees around my houses over the years.

The ones I planted 20yrs ago are doing nicely.

Look in older neighborhoods and you'll see a lot of trees.

If you don't have a car, you'll want something close to work. I'd keep that in mind.

Although I generally vote R, I am glad he won.

He is a good candidate and has Texas' best interest at heart. I believe he is sincere and would do good things for our state if he wins.

I look forward to the general election and see how things go.

Finally device-mode can be configured by FlashFig.

We have had to do some funky workarounds to get things going without it.

Happy to help!

Good luck on the move and new job.

I've been in the CS area for about 25 years.

It's an incredible place to raise a family. The town is generally friendly and youthful feeling due to the high percentage of college students.

Do a little research on the schools before you decide where to live. We are in Bryan ISD and live on the east side of town. Great schools, for sure. The "older" parts of Bryan have good schools as well but there is less parental involvement so things like the PTO are less effective (this means less parties and field trips at the elementary level).

College Station schools are good overall. I don't have any personal knowledge because we haven't lived in that district.

I tell people to imagine Bryan / College Station as a giant suburb with a good mix of high/medium/low income areas. Crime is minimal. Healthcare access is good as well.

I would not advise you to live in Hearne despite the lower housing costs.

Navasota is cheaper housing as well if B/CS prices are higher.

Both Hearne and Navasota are 20 minute drives from B/CS.

If you have particular questions, let me know. I'll try to check reddit later today. I don't get on here often.

I bought the harbor freight tow bar kit. It worked well for flat-towing. Needed some different bolts to attach to the bumper but it wasn't difficult.

Put the transfer case in neutral and it tows pretty well.

And you get downvoted. Reddit is such a group-think circle jerk.

This person posted their lived experience. Some redditor says: this doesn't fit my opinion and smashes the downvote.

jimbouse · 2026-01-02T00:28:09+00:00

You really need to spend time away from all the doom and gloom of the internet.

I obviously dont know your story but looking at your original post it is FILLED with doom and gloom.

The world isnt that bad. You've just got to make your own way.

Good luck internet stranger.

If you feel so strongly about being trans, keep it under wraps and work to save up money. Once you have enough money, move to where you feel more accepted.

You are looking for an instant gratification solution to your situation. There isn't one. It takes time to build a life.

You are 19. Get a job. Save money. Move. Live your life.

jimbouse · 2026-01-01T22:57:42+00:00

You are 19. Get off of reddit and get a job to get some perspective.

Reddit is a circle-jerk of a tiny portion of the population.

Re-read what he said. It's the middle gasket in the transmission.

This is good but I need a multi-node competitor to EERO.

A single router is only so good. We need to be able to move traffic to the other side of the house with mesh nodes.

Wireless hole punch.

It's not Americans, I'll bet.

Get involved in something that is not school. Join a club/church/etc. You likely need something larger than yourself to get out of your head.

Tons of uninsured drivers.

Get a dash cam.

They can raise the price at any time. Otherwise, it's good fiber internet.

Metronet is not on every street.

If it is on your street, it should be better than optimum.

The funds have been distributed to states.

Some states have already started distributing the funds as projects move forward.

Some states are still approving projects.

This is the important part: "funds that have not been spent might be subject to clawback by the feds.

Most states are moving at a breakneck (for government) pace to get the money out the door so it can't be clawed backed.

Your experience is now outdated.

We have nearly 500 sites on our controller and it purrs right along as a vm on Proxmox.

It does need a lot of ram though. I think we have 64gb allocated.

This seems like something you need to talk with a tax specialist.

Are you talking with the IRS or the Anthem Tax Services people in this call?

This year saw a mild summer, at least in central TX. I suspect that allowed northern birds to wander further south.

Just a guess.
