  • In Texas, your property tax is already somewhat two tiered. Your first home is taxed as a homestead and you get an exemption on part of the property tax. If you own a second, third, etc you have to pay the full amount and the annual increases are not capped. Im not 100% sure on the specifics as I don’t own more than 1 though.






  • We did formal typing classes in school starting from primary school up to middle school but that was not what made me a proficient typist. I got comfortable with a keyboard and more proper typing by actually doing it.

    Some of that is on me for being a little shit in school, some of it is because the classes were shit. My point was that typing is a skill and there is more than one way to learn it and that a generation shouldn’t be judged from a snapshot at a relatively young age.

    That said, a relatively large number of the younger engineers I work with ARE missing critical basic tech/mechanical/problem solving skills so I do recognize that there seems to be a generational difference in some areas. I didn’t get to work with a young engineer from a previous generation when they were a young engineer though so I can’t say that for sure.
