Speaking of early morning the last time I was in the store was right before St. Patrick’s Day. Among other things, I was going to pick up some green flowers for our table. It was slim pickings, even early. I asked if they had not received a shipment and the cashier laughed at me. ??
He said you have to be there right when the doors open because retailers from around the city buy them out to resell them.
Unfortunately I haven’t found anywhere else that sells shishito peppers, among some other TJ’s items.


Apologize for the thread creep.

Yes, the one at Trader Joe’s is awesome

Yeah but you have to rub shoulders with the freaks that compose the regular shoppers at Trader Joe’s. :lol: At least the one in Metairie. It’s too bad, I like the store in general but want to strangle about 90% of the people that shop there. If NPR were a store that would be it.

I made this mistake…once, with seafood gumbo. Woke up and the pot looked like a lab experiment boiling over. Now I separate of drop cleaned frozen bottles of water in.

I’m also hearing through the grapevine there were 4 jumpseaters onboard.

However the pic of the engine lying on the runway didn’t seem to have been missing any stages. And I wouldn’t think a catastrophic engine failure alone would cause the engine to detach. But it’s possible.

The engine is lying in the grass on the RH side of the runway in the pics I've seen, as well as part of the cowling. If so it was a pretty violent separation.

ETA; how fast are those fire alarms? I assume damn fast. In other words, the videos I've seen the wing is engulfed. But I'd assume the fire alarm would have went off before that? Jet fuel doesn't catch fire easily right? So it has to be fairly catastrophic to cause a fire? In other words, could the engine detach and NOT cause a fire?


Fire warning before V1, abort. After V1, silence the bell, fly the airplane, work the problem.
I'm of the same thought of mind of there was a catastrophic failure that caused the separation that caused the fire and it wasn't the fire that caused the separation. They have both black boxes and will figure it out...hopefully.

It's being reported that the aircraft went through a heavy maintenance check recently. These happen at scheduled intervals just like your car. It appears that this maintenance facility, ST Engineering has been around for a while and is reputable.

What we know

The aircraft spent a long period (Sept 3 to Oct 18, 2025) parked at a maintenance facility of ST Engineering at San Antonio International Airport.

During that maintenance period, voluntary reports filed to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Service Difficulty Reporting system indicated that the aircraft had structural corrosion (rust) in two bilge areas and a cracked stringer near the centre wing upper fuel tank.

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are reviewing the full maintenance and structural history, including the recent maintenance event.

I don’t cook sausage in my red beans, just pickled pork but I always serve sausage as a side. My favorite is Double D hot but I also like Conecuh.
I used to live in the west part of Metairie on a street where would we get crushed by kids for 3 hours straight. It was of interest of how much older those of Hispanic backgrounds would trick or treat than the rest of the demographics. I just chalked it up to post-Katrina wave + ignorance of cultural norms.
Fast forward to last night. I’m in the whitest of white communities; Peach Tree City, GA. Same thing but now the hispanics are competing with the Persians!
What the hell happened to critical thinking on this board? I mean, you’re quoting Moscona? Dellenger is quoting Carville which is being requoted by others likes it’s gospel. Woodward’s mouthpieces are all over the place stirring it up. Landry deserves to take a lot of the blame but the hyperbole is over the top.
Many on this board need to try yoga or meditation, anything that will call them back from the ledge before it’s too late.
quote:

It all boils down to them personally not liking Jeff Landry. That’s 100% all it is. They’re deep in their feelings and overreacting. This needed to be done a long time ago anyways and all of this hoopla will blow over soon.

This is the correct answer. This board has lost accountability and respectability all because of its hatred towards Landry. Little did I know there were so many ill-informed, illogical, and naive people on this board. Very much a representation of the population of the state so I shouldn’t be surprised.

It has also become very expensive, at least on Saints game days

How much?

Bullet Train in Japan is near the top of my list of things to do while visiting Nippon.

It's a good way to get around quickly but I'm not sure what you're expecting. It's really nothing more than a faster train. Just like airlines they have different classes of service (ordinary, green, and gran) and different itineraries. What would be an hour flight from Tokyo to Sendai, the quickest (least stops) shinkansen can do it in 1:30. (from ~$80-$170). I've never been on a dirty train and they do pass through with a snack/drink cart but some of the cattle car trains can and do look well used. And before you say, 'yeah, but it comes without the hassle of going through an airport', I would advise you to look how massive Tokyo train station and others are. Multiple levels with multiple platforms. Thankfully the use of signage in English is prevalent.
