Shifty Pony posted:Nope! And IIRC all of the silver level plans on the TX exchange are lovely high deductable plans which present major obstacles to getting proper care. I think it's specific to Harris County and Fort Bend but they have a pretty decent silver plan. Community Health Choice is the provider. I was surprised that it was reasonable with low deductibles and low out of pocket totals

I know this starts a long debate every time but what are the alternatives to Uber? When I'm traveling for work it's a life saver. I remember being in NYC standing out in the rain with a ton of translation equipment about 10 years ago and having no luck hailing a cab, when I called to try to get one to my location they said they only would take me to the airport. Sometimes it's not in the budget to have a car service especially when half of the work I'm doing involves non profits. The taxis sucked in New York City, a place known for having a ton of taxis. So any Texas city would benefit from the option of Uber, it's not like public transportation is great in our cities.

Is anyone else experiencing rage from neighbors about property taxes in their areas? It may be just a Fort Bend County thing but people are angry. I understand it's unfair the burden of property taxes are placed on residential compared to commercial properties but in our areas at least the appraisals are still under selling value. This is came up and people are revving up to be heard http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/84R/schedules/html/C6322016051009001.HTM

That lines up with my friend who is a SPED teacher at a lower income school in Lamar ISD saying he had a couple of new students a few years who were kicked out from Katy ISD, I told him that sounds like the parents not understanding since that wasn't legal. drat, I guess I was wrong

If you never attended the school it's hard to understand the amount of brainwashing they do, it's pretty intense and on top of that you have the former students in your family/extended family telling you from birth how awesome the school is you tend to develop and over inflated sense of importance.

blackguy32 posted:I mean, wouldn't all the Uber cars be in surge pricing mode anyhow? I hardly ever use Uber. Surge pricing doesn't last all day. I understand y'all hate Uber's business practices but Texas cities have poo poo public transportation and Uber was a godsend for me while travelling for work. I like having one app that works nationwide and I'm not going to try new services that are the flavor of the day for a specific city. I'm working a conference in Houston for food bankers from around the world and a good majority of them will catch Ubers from their hotel to explore the city. That really wasn't an option 5 years ago when I first started working this conference, hell I remember one of them telling me the horror story of them attempting to get around with the Houston metro.

Either way it's not all rich tech bros using Uber. I don't know the specifics but why did Uber bail from Austin and not Houston? They worked out a solution with the city of Houston and I am curious why it didn't work out that way in Austin

I legit thought maybe everyone was making a ton more money than I was till I went and applied for a loan with my wife using our dual income. $500k approval. That scared the poo poo out of us and we decided to stay in our modest house and save the cash for a crash if it ever happens or just wait till our kids are older since our old neighborhood in Southwest Houston is pretty nice.

Obviously he has issues, but all I can say is that I know this man personally and this does not capture his entire character. Yeah his Twitter is full of dumbass statements not just one.

Are you that girl from my home town that sued UT for not letting her in and somehow got all the way to the Supreme Court? Which later they revealed that her average grades were just average and minorities with better grades than her weren't accepted to UT either. Or are you the 75 year old lady in my neighborhood screaming about Muslims and then posting on Nextdoor why no one will come do her landscaping for $10 an hour in the middle of July?

The wineries in Fredericksburg all cater to the whole woo Girls night out crowd. Texas does have good wine but it's hard to find. I know this isn't wine chat thread but if you are in the hill country this place is worth checking out http://www.lacruzdecomalwines.com/about/ Yall may remember the owner's law firm from back in the day. poo poo isn't cheap but the tasting room has some cool rear end art and the owner is chill if he decides to join you. The only making GBS threads thing is you can't really find the wine anywhere but their location and it's all small productions.

As FYGM as it is, there's also a huge Asian/ME population there that are probably turned off by this administration and the general direction and tone of the Republican party and its rhetoric. It's gotten pretty awesome in SL lately. I am towards the outer area and my son is the only non Asian in his preschool. I am one of the few not driving a Tesla or other luxury brand car at pick-up. We needed something ridiculous like 2/3 of homes to sign a change in the hoa by-laws to fix up the playground/common areas and it was easily achieved. In the past the old white people blocked all that poo poo.
