6: I love football and miss it when it’s out of season. This team looks pretty mediocre on paper, but they’re in a situation where they don’t have to be THAT good to have success. Division is winnable, all of the teams in it are mediocre, and someone HAS to win it. At the same time, both lines look ...

Police are entirely funded by sales or property taxes. ZERO revenue from citations issued or sale or seized property goes to the police department. Those funds go straight into the highway fund. DOTD’s operational budget is moved out of the highway fund and must be funded by the general fund. Mon...

I remember what a big difference it made when I largely stopped drinking HFCS sodas, for example. I am looking into modif...

Seed oils make you FAT

Posted by kingbob on 5/10/24 at 10:22 am

I see a lot of posts about how different ingredients we use every day contribute to obesity for one reason or another. Some of the frequent targets are seed oils, like canola or vegetable oil, and margarine. People recommend olive oil, but it’s low smoke point makes it far from ideal for many cookin...

My hope is that the new offensive system starts to click midseason once the offensive line gels, Carr plays consistently better down the stretch, and the Saints make the playoffs this season with at least 10 regular season wins. In year two, after adding a few key pieces on the lines, the team l...
