Are you aware of what’s been going on with their former WR trace williams?!

No, I have not. Honestly had lost touch with them over the years until I ran into one of them who was on a recruiting trip last year and caught up to realize a whole group of the guys I know are on that staff.

Pulls up a FB link, so assuming it's some niche joke.

Yeah, the dude who seems like a generally good guy that has almost double the number of make a wishes granted of any other celebrity. What a loser. :rolleyes:

I would say list of current celebrities with enough reach to meet that living legend status: Dick Van Dyke, Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Reba, Shaq, John Cena. I don't think any are at that Dolly level as she is honestly on a level all her own, but all are at the Betty White and Chuck Norris level of nearly universally loved.

Dang I was just joking I didn’t know they actually went halal

I think it's just like their kosher stuff there are a very small portion of items that meet the dietary guidelines. That big meat board in the center of the store is not halal. :lol:

“news” and reports around social media of how this thing is going to have everyone in Lafayette needing to move because their windows will break and all the farmers in Acadiana will have worthless farm land because of this.

---

The good news for them is that investors are already lining up to buy land for development and for housing. They can get top dollar and move themselves right out of the area.

They have to put in an airport at some point, though Acadiana can support it in the short term during the first stages of the building with the capacity there for the O&G and solar plant.

There is also going to be a lot of pressure on local companies and communities. The new schools and hospitals/urgent care will pay great rates, which will force surrounding areas to up their game. There is a lot of crossover and experience applicable from the O&G and supporting workforce that SpaceX will be able to hire a lot locally. There pay will force local employers to up the payscale. This will cause some localized inflation that may take some time for the area as a whole to come up to.

As I've said overall this is far and away a net positive for the area and state. There will just be some growing pains and a lot of moaning while everything is being built and stabilizing.

The permanent jobs at the facility plus all the supporting...where will those people live? Schools? Hospitals?

A lot of infrastructure both public and private is needed between now and 2029. It's amazing for the area and state in general, but the Youngsville/Broussard boom will be childsplay compared to this one. Same growth, but over 2 years, not 2 decades.

Would just weigh your needs and what you currently have.

I have fiber and little to nothing phases it. Was at my parents who have Starlink Max, and I was better off at times using my phone as a hot spot when a thunderstorm came through or they were streaming something and I had to do some work. It seemed fine for their security system, streaming, general phone/tablet browsing, but it did not like weather nor some of the uploads or downloads I was having to do. Meanwhile I can have my security, multiple TV's streaming, and a dozen buddies over with their laptops and phones during the storm Friday night and no one had an issue staying connected during our draft.

Just food for thought, not that you will host a ff draft, but if you do work from home or have other things that may require more bandwidth it may struggle.

those to whom the old idea about judging and being judged don't apply.

I think the problem is a misunderstanding of what that verse is actually saying. What is being told is for us not to judge the human based upon the sin because God sees the human beneath the sin. That does not mean we are not to discern and condemn the sin. That's not to say that all believers adhere to that at all times and are able to discern the sin from the human in their criticism. It's absolutely fair to see and say that some have issues with this discernment and are sinning themselves in their condemnation of the person. In the same breath there is also an issue with those in sin seeing the sin as part of themselves and condemnation of the sin as a personal attack. Jesus did rub elbows with those among us who many churches of today would not look favorably upon. He would also call them out on their sin and tell them to go and sin no more.
