Yep, and it has a bigger effect on people's health and quality of life than most realize.



so is sititng at desk all day making spread sheets or commuting for an hour. Unless we want to do something about the 40 hour work week negative effects on the human body, you can miss me with the circadian rhythm argument

I don’t understand the mindset of people who want it to be dark in the morning and bright in the evening.



i like running in the morning before the sun is out and it is in the 70s at 6am instead of sun blasting at 6am and it is in the 80s. Pre-kids, i enjoyed a round of golf at 5pm and being able to get 18 in after work.

conversely in the winter, i can handle getting to school drop off and work in the dark so i can let my kids run around until 630 outside

I like how he cites the reason for this being the dude who has to go into the clock tower to change it.



it would be very modern american politics if United Rents donated to a pac to block this because they can't miss the twice a year manlift clock change rents

But you still won't be able to


630 is later than 530

that extra hour of sunlight would be pretty clutch for people with kids

We already have 7 am sunrise in December which sucks out loud. If this goes through it'll be 8 am.



ill take the trade for being able to enjoy the sun after work in the winter

nothing more lame than when it finally is nice on the gulf coast the clock rolls back to standard time.

Down near the front is $200 apiece plus fees. Near the top of the lower tier is in mid 100's. Upper tier is $100-125 before fees.



at that price, there is no way for a casual to say frick it ill go.

It is also high enough that even a fan would question if it is worth it.

For the same money, especially when you factor Uber/parking/booze/ect, i can go to some of the best resturants in Houston and have a fabulous meal.



one of these days after they run out of academia style terms, they will realize that paying $100+ to see fricking Jelly Roll was never sustainable

Probably because of the "subtle brag" that you're building a $1.5M custom home. Might come across as pretentious.



i could be mistaken but it sounds like he is in the home building business.
$5 cover at bogie's for Penny Pitchers was a hell of deal

The breweries that have seemed to survive operate more as neighborhood bars than beer destinations with the exception of St. Arnold’s. Baileson, Eureka Heights, and Holler all seem to do well.


lone pint has done a great job competing with Art Car for the standard IPA at every resturant.

I also know there is no way something could get passed here that was specific incentives like that for the middle/upper middle class so I really don't know the viability of such incentives in our society.


Raise the FSA max would be a good start, let me pay for daycare pre-tax

also, being able to fully deduct private education from taxes would be pretty cool but that will never happen. I would much prefer that then vouchers that none of the good private schools take.

We only judge for potato, egg, and cheese breakfast tacos (which are delicious albeit not as good as the steak, egg, and gouda he should have gotten);



Charzio and egg is the way to go but potato,egg and cheese is at every gas station taco spot for a reason

saw some dudes calling him a gay vegan for eating eggs and cheese. What are we doing

I’m afraid Trump might be wrong this time. I think John cornyn would win in the general election pretty easily. With all his negative baggage Ken Paxton puts holding the seat in some jeopardy.



Talarico will domiante the cities and burby white women. Paxton has a lot of negative name recognition well before this race while I am willing to bet 80% of Texas couldn't name Cornyn as the second Senator after Ted Cruz.

The difference between Beto and Talarico is that Talarico can actually articulate a thought beyond just bland catch pharses.

you can tell rightwing twitter is grasping because they tried to spin a a potato, egg and cheese taco into something.

I do like when asked what makes him a bad person, saying he cheated on his wife repeatedly is not an acceptable response.



Massie banging someone after his wife died is however a massive character flaw
