The New Democratic Platform
Unless I'm mistaken, that was the green new deal bill: https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hres109/BILLS-116hres109ih.pdf

The New Democratic Platform
My perception is that many dems conflate every issue with identity. Take the Green New Deal - the message was not "climate change affects ALL of us, we really need to take it seriously". It was: "Whereas climate change, pollution, and environmental destruction have exacerbated systemic racial, regional, social, environmental, and economic injustices (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘systemic injustices’’) by disproportionately affecting indigenous peoples, communities of color, migrant communities, deindustrialized communities, depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-income workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, people with disabilities, and youth (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘frontline and vulnerable communities’’);" Why? What can that possibly accomplish other than to alienate many of the people you'd need onboard to effect real change?

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Where are these private/charter schools? Austin doesn't seem to have many that I can find.

Mexico has a female president. I don't know the circumstances of her election, but she's definitely a woman.

Texas vs Ohio State- Monday, 11/4, 9pm on TNT
29 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 assists. 50% shooting. Not bad for an 18 yo in his first college BB game against a good opponent.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
Was your pool built in just the last 4 years ish? You seeing white lines on your tile grout and weird things like that? If so you may have ASR, aka concrete cancer.

Yes: Pools are worth it....
I'm far from an expert, but if you're having this problem, possible sign of ASR? Check the prior page for lots of posts about ASR.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I don't have an informed opinion either way on the root topic here, but if the govt pays out billions+ for anything, it does affect us all. The money doesn't appear out of thin air - there'd be some combination of higher taxes, increased debt, lowered services elsewhere, inflation, etc. as a result.

Post retirement gigs
Not a job, but I'd consider taking some community college classes. Things like wood working, cabinet making, welding, auto repair, foreign languages, etc. I took an ACC woodworking class many years ago for the heck of it and really enjoyed it.

Identifying Trump rioters
I'm sure many people already know this, but the old anarchist in Slacker was a philosophy professor at UT. I took his class my freshman year. Took me a few sessions before I realized why he seemed familiar /CSB.

Computer Hellp
You can look up compatible memory for the motherboard. Not sure if this is your exact board, but: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-b650-plus/helpdesk_qvl_memory/?model2Name=TUF-GAMING-B650-PLUS Also most of the memory mfgs have search tools, like: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/c/memory/ddr5-ram?type=findbycompatibility (But I can't find the B650 in the above link). That might give you a clue whether what you have should work. If what you have is NOT listed, I can't really say what the chances are that is should/shouldn't work though.

Does anybody know if the Austin HOME initiative that just passed affects impervious cover rules for existing SFHs?- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Sort of the same though? The other guys just have to wait a week or two to get fired and they get their payout. ERob knew he wasn't getting fired. So basically everyone gets free money except the guy you actually felt deserved it the most? Pisser.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Was ERob, the guy they liked and wanted to retain, basically the only assistant that got screwed out of keeping his payout money? I don't know what the assistant contracts looked like, so only speculating, but id be pissed if all my colleagues are getting multi-hundred K+ checks cut for severance pay and I'm being held hostage on a sinking ship. - What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
