WOW, I had no idea!!! That's wild... and concerning.

There's a great book called -- really OP give it a read/listen. There's a reason the reviews are so good:

Mostly great recommendations. Temperature/any light (even very little) are the most important. Avoid sustained used of Melatonin or any drug. Alcohol affects sleep and ability to retain information (even if consumed up to 3 days after learning something new).

Early morning sleep spindles (5am-6:30am) is extremely important for a lot of people. Don't force yourself to wake up earlier to exercise in exchange for less sleep. LINK

Seriously give the book a listen.... It has changed a lot in my life!

You missed the part of the video where people have already paid back more than double the initial loan because of capitalized interest. The taxpayers didn't pay for their degree -- they did -- but they got caught up with a loan shark in the process.

No doubt the issue stems from Universities finding a way to spend the unlimited stream of income instead of keeping tuition consistent. Tuition almost needs to be capped and public universities will be forced to prioritize funding rather than relying on increased loans to offset.

The LSU UREC is likely not one of the main issues. That was voted and funded over like 20 years. I'd need to see a breakdown of tuition and university expenses. But with more and more classes moving online, it should be easier to start cutting costs.

well said lsugorilla!

Sleep is sooooo important as well. Alcohol in successive nights can hinder quality sleep. If you need to take a unisom early instead of drinking (if you are doing that), you'll pass out the same but feel a million times better in the morning.

I will say that everyone reacted similarly to the “spilled coffee” story from decades ago, and those pictures were gnarly looking. Not sure it was worth the big lawsuit, but I’d want some serious retribution if my skin was melted.

Exactly. This is answer. Depends on the amount of negligence. If you put a chicken nugget covered still boiling oil into a box intended for kids, you will likely owe some damages.

Perhaps because it's a heavy trafficked two lane road. It would be incredibly dangerous as is.


I mean, what's the need for a sidewalk anyway? It's not like there's a whole lot of reason to walk that stretch anyway.

What are you talking about? I always feel awful for the students etc that are trying to walk to all the food options RIGHT there. It's too damn dangerous to walk that stretch right now. That area badly needs sidewalks.

The bike lanes on hyacinth have been a huge boost to connect the lakes through rouzan to pollard to Perkins park for bikers/runners.

I just hope they would paint the cross walks though as people forget to look for bikes etc. at the stop lights and add some bumpers to physically remind cars when they stray from the road into the bike lane (while staring at their phones).

Pretty sure you can refinance student loans.

Not at the rates new borrowers are getting. Also, you lose any opportunity at forgiveness should this type of thing go through.

Or, you know, possibly all the people that are tired of Trump's insufferable personality. It seems like a no brainer for the Republicans to put up a Desantis, which has all of Trumps politics without the Trump ego, pettiness, and other nonsense.

The best modern vehicle in the segment was the FJ Cruiser



Dismal fuel economy and low volume. Guessing they dumped it for Fed Govt CAFE reasons.

But yes, it is the #1 vehicle in retaining value. Going OOP didn't hurt.

Thanks, Obama.

Odd. I don't care for the looks of the FJ at alll.
