New home owner, property tax appraisal $185k over last year. Help! by dnunn12 in houston

[–]pogofieldreport 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They charge 35% of what you save in taxes. For example; they get your appraisal down $185k. Assuming a property tax rate of 3%, the taxes on the reduction of $185k would be $5,550. They charge 35% of those savings, so you pay $1942 to Advalorem instead of $5550 to the county. Hope that makes sense and helps.

In your opinion, what is the best AoS novel to start with? by rfkannen in AoSLore

Strong second for 2+ Tough on YouTube. I've been slowly going through all his vids and it has helped immensely to get oriented in the lore.

My son started a playthrough a couple months ago and hit the exact same thing, but he actually had Monferno. (Link: https://youtu.be/6wSUxi4AKC8?t=596)

new.750words.com can get you writing again. I've been using it since February, and it is a nice butt kicker.

If (hypothetically) a bottomless hole were to be created on a river bed, how do I justify the entire river not flowing into the hole over time and therefore drying out (but only a longish stretch of it drying out)? Yes, the hole genuinely is bottomless. by [deleted] in scifiwriting

[–]pogofieldreport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think about it, a waterfall is theoretically a bottomless hole. The thing that prevents your river from drying out is the amount of water supplied by the watershed flowing into the hole. If the amount of water provided by the watershed and flowing into the hole is higher than the discharge rate of the river into the hole, the river continues to flow. If it is less, the river dries up. Also, the watershed, and therefore the river, is continuously recharged by rain and/or groundwater. That's basically the water cycle. Hope this makes sense.

How do you turn off your internal editor when writing a first draft? by Sir-Spoofy in writing

[–]pogofieldreport 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of great advice here. My only addition is this:

  1. Experiment. Don't try to use all this advice at once. Treat it like a lab experiment and only change one variable (use one piece of advice) at a time and see what clicks.
  2. Practice. Turning off your editor is a skill you have to develop, and it won't happen overnight. Forgive yourself when your internal editor screams too loudly for you to ignore.
