ESPN doesn’t care about the government’s “formal opinion”
Just wait for Gordon to find someone to use as a victim and sue ESPN for not listening to the states formal opinion. Going to be like those product warnings stating that the product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.

Surprised to see aTm as a flex as that leaves 2:30 as an option.

the Louisiana Legislature has advanced House Concurrent Resolutions (such as HCR 13). These resolutions formally urge and request the SEC to schedule LSU games in September after 6:00 p.m. to protect players and fans from dangerous heat.
Why these resolutions were introduced: The Heat Index: In September, the heat index in Louisiana frequently exceeds 100 degrees.
Medical Emergencies: Daytime September games (such as the matchup against UCLA) have resulted in numerous heat-related medical calls and treatments for spectators and first responders.
Not Legally Binding: Because they are "concurrent resolutions," these measures express the formal opinion of the state government but are not legally binding laws. The ultimate scheduling power remains with the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and its television broadcast partners.

billionaires hoard money
They only time hoarding money is a net drain on the populace is if they keep cash in their mattress. If you have a mortgage on your house, someone needed to put money in a bank to be available to lend to you.

We don't need billionaires, but we need the opportunity to become a billionaire. If personal wealth was capped at say 500 million, where would Elon's future earnings go, 100% tax? Super risky endeavors that he didn't care if they were successful? Trust funds for his 13 kids so that he wasn't a billionaire, but each of his kids were?

On a side note, I met a guy a year ago who lives around lakeview off Touissant. He referred to it Robert E Lee. I jokingly said “don’t you mean Touissant?”. He let me have it, and said nobody refers to it by the new name or ever will.
A couple of years ago I was walking in the area of Lee circle behind some black people, one local that was showing others around, and the local called it Lee circle. I felt proud that moment that the name hasn't died

The post office is required to postmark them to election day, even if it takes a few days to get to it.
The post office should postmark mail the date it's dropping in the box, not when it's processed. I know most bills and taxes are done electronically, but how would you feel if you dropped off your taxes on 4/15 because you wanted to float a check, but the post office didn't mark it until 4/22 and the IRS hits you late payment/filing penalties?
Mail-in ballots should be required to be received a week before election day so that the in-person log is marked as early voted.

re: How are SALT Deductions Legal?
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 6/2/26 at 7:33 pm to TheMagicMan
You are allowed to deduct the larger of your actual state income tax or a calculated estimate of sales tax as an itemized deduction. The deduction is also capped at $10k, which the blue states hate.
The standard deduction is so high now that simply having a mortgage no longer almost guarantees a taxpayer has enough to itemize.
In Louisiana the income tax deduction is usually more than the sales tax deduction unless you bought a new car or something that you are allowed to add on top of the estimate.

re: Anyone here have Hisense TV? Thoughts?
Posted by CubsFanBudMan on 6/1/26 at 11:13 pm to CrawfishElvis
I've got one in the den that I got during COVID that has dimming? issues. The brightness isn't uniform across the entire panel. Also, keep getting a message saying that it's low on storage, but don't really have a ton of apps on it. It's a Google platform. Have a couple of others that haven't had any issues. For the price can't really complain. Might move it outside soon and replace. Would consider another, but seems like they might be getting away from the Google platform but haven't really researched it much.
My previous den tv was a top of the line Samsung that didn't last as long as I had hoped. I don't think I'll ever buy another top of the line tv. $2k vs $650 and they lasted about the same amount of time.

Menard is quintessentially Texan.
Louisiana has a significantly higher percentage of people with the last name Menard than Texas. Thanks to deep historical French Creole and Acadian roots, Louisiana ranks among the top states nationwide for the name's frequency, whereas it is relatively rare in Texas. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The U.S. Census Bureau logs Menard as an uncommon surname overall. However, the surname has a dense, localized concentration in Acadiana and South Louisiana parishes (such as Vermilion, Lafayette, and St. Landry), making its per capita presence in the state much higher than in Texas. [3, 4, 5, 6]

re: What happens when A/I decides independently that conservative and christian paths better

I had an interesting conversation with chatgpt about wealthy people and their money. I asked it to name something that a wealthy person can do with their money that doesn't directly or indirectly benefit someone else. One of the answers was to hire someone to make something and immediately destroy it. I countered that if the person was hired, they benefitted from the pay and it shouldn't matter to that person if what was created was immediately destroyed or used for 20 years. It agreed and responded there isn't many things that they could do that doesn't directly benefit someone other than destroying the money or hoarding cash at home.
I wonder if those types of conversations with AI will eventually override initial bias.

re: Would you be for a new law that removes 1st amendment right to protest

If your employer organizes a bus to take you and other employees to the capital to either protest or sit in on hearings that directly impact your job, do you consider that being paid to protest?
A company that I previously worked for did that and did not require anyone to use PTO.

Why does the state need to approve what parishes vote to ban? Does the state explicitly grant parishes the ability to be dry or ban adult entertainment? I understand the vote on video poker and casinos is probably tied to the constitution.
