The Jumbotron on Saturday was glitchy. The screens around the main video board shut off several times during the game. The right side is the score board, and the left is typically adds.

What was interesting is how much dimmer the stadium felt when the two side panels were off.

I know that LSU is $500k in the hole, but hopefully this board will be upgraded soon.

LSU’s junior running back and kick returner Clyde Edwards-Helaire of LSU racked up 199 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns as the Tigers beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa 46-41. He scored twice in the first half on a one-yard run and 13-yard reception, then scored twice on the ground in the fourth quarter, including the game winner with less than two minutes to play. He ended his day with 103 rushing yards on 20 carries, 77 receiving yards on nine catches, and one kick return for 19 yards.

Mobile site not loading properly on my phone. Scrolling often leads to a blank screen. Clicking links to new threads or other boards often does nothing. The site will even appear to completely freeze.

My iPhone 8 was stolen about two weeks ago and I replaced it with an iPhone XR (MT3K2LL/A). These issues were not present on my old phone, but are consistently happening on the new phone.

Currently using Safari and running iOS 12.3.1

I was pretty sure that Bama women only used smokeless tobacco products.

The past two weeks I have been getting a tightness in my central abs during deadlifts. It goes from my rib cage down to my waist. Almost as if everything is being pulled along the midline.

I've been cutting weight for several months now, and so I haven't been going super heavy on my sets.

Are my abs weak, or should I consider a weight belt? I've thrown in extra ab work to hopefully remedy this.

Update: Decided to focus on ab strength first. I've been using the ab roller and hanging leg raises the past few weeks.

Yesterday I decided to try a narrower grip because I was grabbing the bar at the rings. Not only was the ab strain nearly gone, but the lift was MUCH easier. I have no idea why I had been gripping so wide all these years.

A few weeks ago I switched from Cox to AT&T U-verse after a salesman stopped by to talk about the new fiber optic network in my neighborhood.

Less than 24 hours after install I noticed that my speeds were tanking bad enough to effect streaming quality on my TV (Picture quality and or buffering). Over the past few weeks, I frequently noticed that I'll only be getting 3-4 Mbps. Speeds even have crawled to <1 Mbps over both Wifi and LAN connection. I've gone into the Gateway and switched to various recommended settings including a Wifi rescan to find a better frequency.

While the slowdowns frequently happen when I'm only using one device, the biggest culprit is when I'm on my laptop. My suspicion based on my own observations and a bit of research is that when my Photos App is uploading pictures to iCloud that AT&T may be throttling the speeds.

First, one of AT&T's biggest selling points was that fiber optic internet is supposed to have consistent speeds compared to cable which gets especially spotty during peak usage times. Second, I'm pretty disappointed if they are actually throttling my speed when uploading.

Is this normal? Are there any easy workarounds? Should I just cut bait since my contract is <30 days old?

Luke Is Going After Snoke

New rumors from Star Wars: The Last Jedi concern the tools Luke Skywalker has with him on the planet Ahch-To, as well as what his mission towards the end of the film is. Ever since Mark Hamill appeared in what amounted to a wordless cameo in the final scene of The Force Awakens, fans have been eager to see the original trilogy protagonist in action during these new sequels. Fortunately, Luke is going to be a major part of Episode VIII and factors heavily into the story. However, the character has changed greatly since he was celebrating with Ewoks on Endor in Return of the Jedi, and Luke has a much different outlook on life. In the Last Jedi trailer, he said it was time for the Order to end – a statement that sent viewers into a frenzy.

"Too many people have died," McCrory said. "Be careful — do not put other people's lives in danger."

More than 1,500 people were stranded Monday in Lumberton by flooding. Helicopter crews plucked people from rooftops and rescue boats helped the stranded find safety. Rescues were expected to continue Tuesday, AP reports.

Initially, the governor said the flooding in Lumberton was heightened by a suspected levee breach. However, the National Weather Service said later in the day that there had been no breach.

According to government officials, North Carolina has had more than 2,000 water rescues. Some 200 people were rescued from a flooded neighborhood in the Edgecombe County town of Pinetops. Another 70 were rescued from two hotels in Brunswick County, according to AP.

“North Carolina is resilient, our people are strong and we are going to get through this together,” McCrory said. “This storm is still impacting people in a big way. You have got to see it to believe all the devastation that has occurred.”

This makes you wonder how many more people could have died during the floods this summer if so many locals didn't have boats to help each other.
