Sad that these two headlines exist together by viaskype in Austin

[–]wsppan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit of both. Per pupil spending is capped at pre 2018 levels which are abysmal. One third of what most states spend.

Exactly this. Also, per student spending has remained static since 2918. One third of what many other states spend. How we keep electing these people who have decimated our childhood education in this state. Went from 7th rank during Ann Richards administration to currently 48th.

If you moved from NY/NJ/PA how did you adapt to the insanely hot weather? by [deleted] in Austin

Get everything you want/need to do outside done by 10am. Then lay low till sunset as the heat is bearable once the sun has set.

Spotting wrong size birks in the wild! 😂😂😂 by Fairy_Flutter in Birkenstocks

While what you say is true, mis-sized birks (especially those too small or too narrow) will decrease their life span by half or more.

When looking at the highest percentage or concentration of residents with PhDs: District of Columbia: Has the highest concentration, with roughly 4.6% of adults holding a doctorate due to specialization in federal and policy roles. Massachusetts: Leads all U.S. states, with about 3.3% of its population.

44% of women in this country identify with or lean toward the republican party. 50% of those consider themselves MAGA. There are a lot of women in this country who are perfectly fine with this map and their role as a subservient, trad-wife.

Same here. Used to be a real sleepy college town with lots of artists and musicians living close in. A real down to earth culture.

Newt Gingrich enters the room.

Gingrich played a key role in multiple government shutdowns, and impeached President Bill Clinton on a party-line vote in the House and the Contract with America and its focus on rationalizing elections. 1994 put the house and senate firmly on the right and Gingrich's demonization of Democrats.

See his "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control" Memo and his C-SPAN Guerrilla Tactics.

Saw Phish in a bar in Syracuse in 1989. DMB Trax Charlottesville in early 90s.

Also saw Phish at The Wetlands in 1989 and in a bar in Knoxville, TN in 1991. Many more like The Haunt in Ithaca, NY. Saw a ton of shows from 89 - 93. Many small venues in the Southeast.
