Once you reach that price point, it’s nothing to buy it and demo the house. It’s actually kinda common.

It's already in their current models and being advertised as fully self driving, so it's already here.

Not quite. No one has come close to certifying a Class 5.

Tesla likes to talk up their features with “Full self driving” but once you read into it, words like “semi-autonomous” or “requires active driver participation” start to appear.

Mab set the term of the betrothal as being a year.

So this book is set right at wedding time.

So that story point is getting resolved in this book.

I wonder what happened to the bottle nosed dolphins and the oyster beds before humans ever built flood control structures and the river flooded its natural banks into the saltwater estuaries semi-regularly?

Wut?

You do get that they are arguing AGAINST using the structure right? That they want the river to stay on its natural ish path?

It gets spread out and diluted across a delta. Not directly dumped into a lake adjacent to the Gulf shore.

Your line only makes sense if someone was saying hysterically we need to open the spillway to save the dolphins.

(And for the record, I don’t think there is a concern. But a rebuttal of this form just doesn’t make sense.)

Pensacola and Nola are only places worth stopping there. Might as well extend the cruise up the Mississippi River to Baton Rouge, then up the Red River to Alexandria and Shreveport.

:lol:

No ocean going vessel (especially of cruise ship scale )can go up the Red River that far.

They can’t even go past BR on the Mississippi.

Eh?

I’d be curious how much supply chain would be an issue for this kind of venture. What subs you’d have to make and what degrees of specificity you need to declare to ensure Cajun authenticity. And whatever linguistic and cultural barriers you might not expect due to speaking the same language.

For example (and not suggesting he didn’t already do it, I’m just emphasizing my point hypothetically) he meationed he found a butcher that can provide andouille sausage. Great.

But was that just asking about andouille, or did he go through all the steps of the process expected in Cajun andouille. Because if he just asked about availability of “andouille” the butcher probably would have been thinking of the French variety, which heavily deemphasizes smoke flavor and is primarily made with tripe and offal as opposed to meat. Given they seem to be doing “in house” smoking on their sausages, they might be better off just making their own andouille and just seeking a good source of bulk pork so they can do the more typical andouille smoking the meat before and after it goes in a casing.

A restaurant attempting this kind of branding niche will live or die on the quality and affordability of ingredients like andouille.

I’d say more than just a little bit. Full on us vs them tribalism.
