I don’t know how many know just how much power NOPD wields during Mardi Gras. Your escort from your den to staging area is a hour late? Tough shite. You go when we’re ready. They dictate the flow of the parade and whether or not a broken float gets to be fixed or is pulled off on the side and removed from the procession. Even if NOPD is wrong here there is no way the Krewe wins a public battle with them without feeling eternal repercussions.
FWIW at float loading the past few days where many members know Carrollton members, and there’s been very little inside scoop that has surfaced. Seems like a tight lid on the whole situation or maybe there really is no video or further insight.

And the lack of details on the incident have let the narratives run wild all over social media.
This is correct and and it was naively accepted that the whole float was guilty until proven otherwise. This board is a perfect example. Just look at my previous comment that was downvoted where I said something sounds fishy. Then again there's lots of NOLA haters and Mardi Gras haters here.
I find it hard to believe that the NOPD wouldn't make an example out of these guys if they had a strong case,
NOPD has decided not to press charges and will let the Krewe handle it internally.

Yeah, something’s not right. To remove 30 or more guys for more than likely the actions of a few isn’t reasonable. The guys on the other side probably had no idea what was going on. Someone will have video of it. At least the innocent ones got to ride the best part of the route.

We on Veterans and transcontinental in the Heart of Metairie by the parade route.
Was at the Rouses on Airline and LaBarre earlier today when they were pulling a batch out and unfortunately they were mostly small (pinky sized) with a few mediums mixed in. I’ll wait.

You must be catching it at popular places like Henry’s or LeBonTemps. I’ve been riding in Thoth almost 30 years and there’s still single rows of people on Magazine but once we hit Napoleon it’s shoulder to shoulder until the end of the route.
As others stated, from Napoleon midway to Louisiana there are a large amount of college students bussed from Tulane that are mostly uninitiated to Mardi Gras etiquette and think they’re the center of the universe. I’ve seen more than 1 scuffle because of it.
Oh, and the crowd in front of Superior is less than family friendly.

I was based out of Minneapolis for some years. Fortune 500 companies thrived there. The people, while different (no gray, just black and white) were affable enough although their food sucked.
Then the Somali invasion began. First it was no picking up passengers at the airport coming back from cruises with liquor, then it was no handling of pork at checkout aisles in grocery stores. Followed by the mandate to implement feet washing tubs and prayer areas to bow to Mecca several times throughout the day.
It stopped being a part of America 10+ years ago. but the locals never recognized that.
What used to be a vibrant downtown (Nicolette St among others) is now a ghost town due to homelessness and vagrants.
My company still is active there. I used to enjoy my layovers there but now avoid it.

Was he not a pilot? Just a BSer?
Oh he's a pilot..and he makes sure you know that by wearing his uniform every time he makes a video. But his persona screams content creator 1st, subject matter expert 2nd. I don't want to classify his channel as unhelpful or inaccurate but he seems more worried about breaking the story 1st in lieu of being accurate. As a professional pilot I cringe when he says with certainty what the pilot should have done or was thinking well ahead of the investigation being completed.
Bottom line, at least with many in my profession, he has traded credibility for clicks. Reminds me much of the former NOLA weathercaster Margaret Orr. Nice lady but was over the top and did a lot of fear-casting at her viewers' expense, many of which were elderly and gullible.
I like blancorillo and Hoover at pilot debrief. No flash but a lot of substance.

Captain Steeeve has absolutely no credibility among professional aviators and should be less regarded than a Margaret Orr weather forecast.

At typical cruise altitudes (35000 and above) where the temperatures average -50c and colder we don’t worry about ice. -40C is a common temperature used for guidance of use of engine anti-ice at cruise.

You should have put a disclaimer warning us that Mike Hoss narrates that video. Can’t stand to listen to that hack.
We used to go there when we were younger and throw darts. Always a fun place. At one point they started having lingerie shows there, as that was attraction back then. Nick was the bartender and Tommy owned the place. Cheap drinks & beer, good times.

WD $8.99 vs. $6.99 last year. WDs are going away so it will go up a lot more next year when it becomes a Rouses which gives a paltry $30 off a roast.

Most passengers just look at the price of a ticket. I was based in MIA when Eastern mechanics went on strike and those planes were full. Each bank had 1 or more jets returning to the gate for mx.
On the bright side, enough pilots have quit where they cancelled all remaining furloughs and reduced the number of captain downgrades from 170 to 25.

re: Slow iphone after IOS update.
Posted by HeyCap on 12/16/25 at 7:34 am to Fishinguy3527
I don’t usually hate the updates other than having to learn a few different things but iOS 26.1 is garbage. Lots of bugs and the liquid glass display is hard to read. I’m not alone as there are many complaining about it.
Reasons to hate iOS 6
I wouldn’t be surprised to see another update to rectify this.
