109 passengers is about 2 rail cars for Amtrack?

Not shitting on it - I think a NOLA to DFW route through BTR would be great to see. Some sections potentially could be highish speed.

It drops 6% from all time highs and suddenly fear articles start popping up all over the place saying a crash is eminent.

He didn't detest colleges. He detested the environment created on many college campuses that undermined free speech and independent thought.

Oddly enough, LSU is better than most in that respect.

True.

Not a fan of them or Jeff Landry though.

I think Google and GM want to own that data and not share it with Apple. Tesla did something similar.

To their credit....GM has a pretty slick UI. I guess that's the privilage/advantage of being massive and having a big budget for tech like that.

This might be a bad move for GM though still. And it would be a catastrophically stupid move for smaller companies with clunky UI's like Subaru and Mazda (or Volvo now that they threw their excellent sensus-based sysem out a couple of years ago and went with a really clunky, busy setup as an alternative).

I thought it was a bad sign for him to be going through a separation while trying to rebuild the team and get them competitive again. That shite takes a toll on a person.

I felt like he was compesated enough for his job to remain a priority.




Maybe Kelly was just a jerk. He was putting individual players on blast in press conferences even during his first season. There were clear signs that he was the wrong guy.

I don't feel bad about him getting fired. I felt bad for Coach O - I wanted him to do well, not just the team. I want LSU to do well under Kelly, but I could care less about him. I never liked him personally, but I could look past all that if he produced good results. He's a jerk and he's a bad cultural fit for LSU. And I'd argue that some of his flaws would make him a bad fit at any college or university - they are hard to overlook in a world of NIL and deeper emphasis on recruitment and retention.

Maybe he should look at the media or the NFL where poor character is sort of excused and being a jerk can be masked.

You know this MF hasn't done anything that improves LA if he's pushing ideas like this.

I'd argue that in several ways....he's made things worse.

Torpedoing the sediment diversion project instead of "influencing" it will hurt us a lot in the coming decades. Most of it had federal funding already earmarked too.

He's going to pimp the META project, Hyundai, etc. - but those were LED identified and marketed mega-sites that have existed since the first Jindal administration - and in the case of Hyundai....the company is warning Louisiana to clean up the infrastructure around the site or they won't build. And META is actually where they were trying to get a Japanese car company to open a plant years ago. Many years of effort just happen to finally pay off when he took the reigns.

I can't think of any way that Landry has done anything that has improved the state. He's just another JBE.

I used to watch Charlie Kirk’s show all the time, but this right here is next-level Landry nonsense. The hard part is figuring out how to cover it without taking shots at Kirk himself.

You don't need any meme advice.....but I would not rush into this one. :lol:

quote:

---

That would require sound policy decisions

---

He is in bed with too many special interests (just like JBE) to properly prioritize the needs of the state.

That's as polite as I can be about Jeff Landry.

A lot of people are saying she allegedly reposted an edited version of her original online video showing the door wide open after allegedly taking down the original video where the door was slightly cracked and she opened it so the whole "he left the door wide open".

The customer is laying low and being quiet while door dash girl keeps digging a hole posting more videos about the incident which brings up another point about the lack of accountability.

The customer is wisely being tight lipped knowing he has a very good case for a lawsuit. Meanwhile the delivery girl keeps on posting videos which in a normal world would be the absolute worst thing someone in her position should be doing but because she's a woman and he's part of the one and only "oppressor" demographic she'll get off with at worst a slap on the wrist and won't have to pay a penny while Door Dash will end up having to clean up her mess and settle out of court with the customer.

---

I can't believe that she doesn't have a parent, sibling, or friend to tell her "you are being ridiculous....stop now". Maybe she does and she's ignoring it.

If you’re naked inside your home, but visible from the front door, which you not only actively invite people to, but general societal expectations state people can approach whenever they’d like, it creates a bit of a gray area that could be reasonably interpreted either way, in my opinion.

---

Not going to watch that video, but the door dasher was there for a job and was supposed to take a photo of the delivery. Would be easy to tell if she's aiming the camera through a window.

Then there's the whole "posting it on the internet" thing.

If this is a real thing and not some staged BS.....there would be severe consequences for both the door dasher and for door dash the company. Unless this happened in some lunatic state or the guy was passed out up against a glass door.
