Purchased my house at the end of May 2021. The 2022 appraised value was 22% over my purchase price and 30% over the 2021 appraised value. I filed my protest directly with TCAD. As someone else mentioned above, they also rejected my closing statement, stating it was an invalid sale for the appraisal purposes. They reduced the appraised value by 1.25% in their recommended value amount, using some type of appreciation formula applied to my end of May 2021 purchase price. It sucks, but even so it is still probably undervalued. Not really sure how successful I would be fighting it further.
Something you have done a great job of explaining the manpower issue is real - without going to full mobilization (both calling reserves and legally using conscripts) most of the BTGs started the war with 70-80% combat strength. I've seen conjecture from the professional analysts, BMPs, etc. are only carrying 2-3 dismounts. Unsupported armor and lack of casualties in knocked out APCs and IFVs lead me to believe it.
I can only imagine those 2 unlucky bastards sitting in the back of a BMP looking at each other knowing they are they only dismounts.
You don't trade top tier, young, left tackle talent. We need more good players, not less. We have a lot of picks this year and are set up pretty well for next year as well. We are not starving for picks, and our cap situation is going to be pretty favorable next year, so I am not sure why we would even consider the thought of trading Tunsil. We should be working out an extension with him.
I mean ownership and bald Christianity weirdness aside, we do have a real GM who was actually in demand by other team, who has done a pretty good job with the shit hand he has been dealt with the roster over the past two years, and who drafted pretty damn well last year. This isn't Charlie Casserly or Rick Smith drafting so I am not sure why people don't expect to emulate last year and put together a solid draft class.
This is the main determining factor. We simply cannot deliver new supply quickly enough or at the volumes needed to curb the appreciation. There a lot of reasons for that locally, but it also isn’t just a local problem.
He’s an average to above average starting corner for cheap. It allows us to have King in slot where he excels and does nothing with regards to drafting young talent.
This was a good signing for us. We have quietly had a pretty good off-season. If we draft as well as we did last year and Mills doesn’t regress we will surprise some people this season.
You people will bitch about anything.
Guilty as charged. I was convinced I was watching a maskirovka exercise while Putin took out a group(s) of internal troublemakers to protect his regime.
I should have realized a free, successful, and independent Ukraine was the biggest threat to fuckface's regime.
The only silver lining is it may turnout a super pissed off, ass-kicking Ukraine ends up taking top spot.
Following this post, went to do a quick read about our Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša. He has been involved in as many wild ass good, bad, shady, surly things as you would expect from a longtime Eastern European leader. But he does have the nickname: Marshal Twitto
