if you don’t know what I&E is you certainly can’t offer any useful info on this plant to the OP. So why are you even in this thread?

There is no way for someone to know what you are asking about (and for them to know that they are unfamiliar with whatever it is that you are asking about), until they actually open the thread and read it. So if you are asking for help from other people, do them the courtesy of not using cryptic acronyms that at least half of the population won't understand without looking it up.

I looked up the acronym just now. A large percentage, if not the majority of this board are white collar. Do you really think that the majority of white collar workers are going to have any idea that this specialized acronym that is used to describe blue collar workers that work in plants means Instrumentation and Electrical? Be more considerate if you are going to ask for help from others.

In what way would it be twice the size of Perkins Rowe?

I'm betting that is AI. Her eyes are Disney princess level unnaturally big.

I see there is a down vote to my post, but no explanation as to why the down vote. I definitely don’t know everything, so if there is something that is incorrect about my comment, I genuinely would like to know what it is. Give me your feedback please.

There are so many incorrect assumptions made in that article that I don’t know where to begin. I won’t try to address them all, but what he says about launch corridors having to go due east only, SpaceX buying 136,000 acres for just a manufacturing facility (a facility that they don’t even need considering they already have manufacturing facilities at Boca and the Cape), that Starship will land on drone ships, etc. are all very wrong. Also, SpaceX has launched many rockets out of the Cape that either went South-East, or virtually due south (on both StarLink launches and sun synchronous orbit trajectories).

If SpaceX really did buy 136,000 acres, this is not just a manufacturing facility. It is likely a launch and landing facility, and far less likely would be just a landing facility. In either case, it may or may not include a manufacturing faculty (I’m not speculating on that, but it would be awesome if the do also build a manufacturing facility). But if they bought 136,000 acres, there is zero chance it is only a manufacturing facility (they also don’t need another engine test facility since they already have McGregor, so it’s not just manufacturing and testing either IF they really did buy 136,000 acres).

You don’t need anywhere near 136,000 acres if it’s just a manufacturing facility. You would want that much land if it is a launch and/or landing facility, but not if it’s just a manufacturing facility.

Would you rather have Sharron Weston Broome as our mayor? Because those are the choices.

Be smarter.

Are you only cleaning your filter every 6 months? Did I read that correctly

For me, I clean them once per year.

I find that hard to believe. Must be a small fan group. If true, I would expect restaurants would offer cold boiled crawfish.

This is almost a good point, but not quite. One reason restaurants don’t serve cold crawfish is because customers wouldn’t know if they are fresh, which is no good.

I agree with the other posters that cold crawfish are as good as hot. Really though they are just different, and good in their own way. Maybe not 100% as good as hot, but like 98% as good as hot.

The fact that they are just different though is actually a plus. It means you’re not having the same meal two days in a row. So in the end, cold crawfish are damn good.

Can you please elaborate on what you did?

There are a number of mutual funds that seem to offer exposure to private shares purchased in the secondary market. The question is - why would you want to?

I'm not sure I understand your question. I want to because I think the value of those stocks will go up. Why wouldn't I want to?
