Texas has 8.25% but New Mexico is 5.125%

Sunland Park, NM (which is part of El Paso, TX metro are has an additional city+county tax of 2.125% so the taxes are the same as in Texas (the numbers may be slightly off, but the final tax rate is very close to Texas)

I installed mint recently and I kept the windows partition because I thought I would need to dual boot a lot but I haven't launched windows in the past couple of months

I have a laser HP all-in-onr that I thought I'd have issues with but it worked automatically with the printing and scanner app, not even in windows it works so strangely

My only issue right now were self inflicting, because I created a shared NTFS partition to keep media a torrents and it sometimes give privilege errors after a bit update (it wouldn't happen if it was ext3 from what I've been reading)

My wife needs to use the computer occasionally and I think she had more issues with windows 11 than mint, the only "issue" was that she was trying to find Microsoft word instead of openoffice

The domain gets highjacked occasionally, same as 1337x

Use proxybay to check which links are working and use adblockers and vpn

Around $90 on hot summer months and $40-$50 in winter and about $60 spring and fall. Gas goes from $120 in winter to $15-$20 the rest of the year

My closest bus stop is 1.5 miles away and the bus runs every hour (or so they claim)

The city added some sort of public "uber" that you can hail and ride for I think $2 but it only works within city limits and my wife has many friends in the neighboring cities so it was useless if she wanted to meet them, and also sometimes it'd take more than an hour for a pick up

During my first trip to Japan I was reluctant to use it.

My manager was traveling with me and he bought one to take home and he already had one from a previous trip and he kept talking about how life changing it was

I finally decided to use the bidet on my last day of the trip and it was a life changer. I had to go back to Japan a month later and I got a nice Toshiba that unfortunately died early this year but now you can find bidets easily on Amazon or Costco
