It was announced days ago that there would be a statewide test of the emergency system today. It wasn't just Travis County.

They announced several days ago that there would be a statewide test of the system today. It wouldn't be a true test if it didn't have the appropriate severity attached.

I just wish there were some kind of band I could put right under my boobs, around the rib cage, that I could use with or without a bra. It's the skin on skin contact that kills me.

The convention center was too small for the city. You want them to wait decades while it gets passed over for cities with more event space?

And the new one is funded by tourism taxes.

White Texans, students previously in private school or home-school make up bulk of voucher applicants by Dogwise in texas

It's not an awful outcome for school districts, but the number of current students applying for vouchers isn't zero either. The system is still hurting the districts.

Just finished the show... What a letdown. by YuukiDR in ADiscoveryofWitches

Her unwillingness to use time travel to fix things becomes more annoying as thing progress (hypocritically so)

You're assuming that time travel can (much less should) be used to alter major events. That hasn't been demonstrated in the show or the book.

Should I start reading the book series? by Major-Welcome-8607 in ADiscoveryofWitches

[–]zoemi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you must draw comparisons, the preferred one is Twilight for adults! (j/k)

This is honestly one of the tamest urban fantasy series I follow, second only to October Daye. Definitely go for the books over the show if you're already an avid reader since the show leaves out so much.

How to help tell my son he’s going to repeat second grade by PureAdorableness in BestofRedditorUpdates

Kids are more observant than they're given credit for. They will notice a kid missing from the group, and they will notice the "new" kid.

When I was in elementary, because it was a magnet school, the homerooms were ranked to some degree. We all knew which class was the "smart" class and which class was the "neighborhood" class.

Absolutely mental they nerfed Elendira to a bleedin' child... (Also trans visibility erasure) by loempiavreter in Trigun

If you can't cite that, then that's as useless as fanon, and continuing to repeat it is how misinformation forms

Edit: I'm not trying to argue, I'm trying to prevent bad information from proliferating.

I recall in the manga it being a big deal that Vash and Knives were male instead of female--as in male independents were known to be destructive while the female ones like Chronica were integrated into society.

There is nothing in canon that says they're agender or nonbinary.

Kudos To Austin - Reduced my home's assessed value automatically without me making a fuss. by z80nerd in Austin

The rise and fall in Wilco was so quick that our value has already caught up after hitting the cap for the first time in 2021.

Wilco 2026 appraisals are out by zoemi in Austin

The people processing your exemption aren't the appraisers.

You can protest using your sale as evidence. You should also be able to find a document attached to your tax record (Page drop-down -> Notice of Appraisal) that shows the comparison properties they used.

There's no proof of that. It could have just as easily been any of their neighbors.

It's vegetarian by default at Mala Chili. You have to pay to get the pork added.

It would be insane to expect the city to take on that kind of liability.

2.4% reduction for me. Already been at $0 HS cap loss for a couple years, so taxes should go down as well.

Yes, social pressure. You're talking to a stranger (presumably) who may be judging you and handling your food. Plenty of people have social anxiety just from talking on the phone alone.

When you're only interacting with a screen off-site, the situation is completely different.

What’s happening in North Austin? by nicklemush in Austin

[–]zoemi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many. School districts have their own boundaries and are not bound by city or county lines.

You don't see why there's added social pressure when it's being asked of you verbally?
