re: St. Tammany DA tapped as Special Prosecutor in Murrill Indictment Probe
Posted by FOBW on 9/26/26 at 10:04 am to boosiebadazz
Good to see continuing effort.
Non paywall article.

St. Tammany District Attorney Collin Sims issued the following statement regarding his appointment:
"The integrity of our criminal justice system depends upon the public having faith and confidence in the grand jury process. Grand juries perform a vital function, and their work must be conducted with independence, fairness, and fidelity to the law.
"The Louisiana Supreme Court has appointed me to examine the circumstances surrounding the decision to pursue the indictment of Attorney General Liz Murrill, including whether the process was proper and whether any criminal or ethical violations occurred in the pursuit of that indictment.
"The grand jury is a powerful tool in our system of justice that can investigate and, where appropriate, return an indictment. Protecting public confidence in that institution means ensuring both that its independence is respected and that legitimate concerns about the integrity of the process are examined carefully. An important part of this review is to determine, based on the facts and the law, whether the grand jury was properly used and to confirm or dispel any concerns that it may have been misused.
"I intend to follow the facts and the law wherever they lead, without prejudgment or outside influence. At the conclusion of this work, any findings or actions that may properly be made public will be addressed consistent with the law and obligations of this appointment."
Below is a review of Murrill's indictment, her civil lawsuit, and the fallout between state and New Orleans leaders.

Recently got them down to 45 from 65 for the 300 option.
Ask to speak to the customer loyalty department. State that you have cheaper options and they need to lower your bill or you will cancel.
They will throw some different options at you for about the same price. More speed or cell phone bundle. Some were tempting.
Do no fold. If it comes to canceling the service, schedule a cancellation date a couple of weeks out so you can cancel the cancellation if they don’t fold.

Steelcase.

New, direct from Steelcase is about $600. Good reviews on Crandall. Series 2 is my favorite, but is significantly more.
Seriously. This is the chair.

I was taught that yu can lead trump before broken if it is guaranteed to achieve one of the above.
Of course I played with an old coonass once who lead spades whenever he wanted and everyone there was okay with it. Might have been a iberville parish thing.

Great plan if it fits into your existing business. I’d be worried if it was a thing all by itself unlike anything else you were doing.
I remember Shell was talking up getting into the generating electricity business a few years ago. I think they gave that idea up for whatever reason.

SpaceX owns the land
Posted by FOBW on 9/4/26 at 7:42 pm
First time I’ve seen this reported.
The state acquired the property from ExxonMobil as part of a June settlement resolving coastal-damage litigation against the oil company. Louisiana then sold the land to SpaceX.
For 100 million dollars.

Unfortunately the bar association doesn’t care.

I think the difference here is that SpaceX has been launching a lot of rockets. Blue Origin not so much. So I think this has a better chance of becoming a really big deal with a piece of critical infrastructure in south Louisiana.
Politicians, I don’t trust any of them.
Hopefully, the people in that area can have good paying jobs so that they can support their families and build a better future for the area.

That math is nonsensical.
No way in the world the property would be assessed at 100 billion. It’s a slanted article.
I’m in favor of the project, but would like to know all the details. Specifically, who owns the land, who manages the land and the various leases. Hopefully the state now owns the land.

It is a mystery to me the mindset of some people. Otherwise reasonable and decent people who are just ate up with the dumbass on this subject.
Sure, some of the rules will slow you down a little Dropping a five pound hammer on your coworker slows him down a lot more.

re: Silo (AppleTV) Season 3 Discussion *No Book Discussion*
Posted by FOBW on 8/29/26 at 2:28 am to Hu_Flung_Pu
It’s sloppy in minor ways too.
They all are talking about erasing memories in front of raiders. Yet the IT chick had to lie about it to the other raiders on the stairs.
No raiders present when Robert is going outside. They should have just grabbed that IT chick and thrown her arse outside.
I imagine the distraction worked so at least now they can start getting some payback on silo 1 and start visiting the other silos.
At least I can forget about it after next week.

I’m a little annoyed.
The only conclusion is that they controlled the timing. Waiting to hear why getting the seeds into storage right then was worth nuking Atlanta.
Season finale better be great or I’m done with this show.

Starbase Louisiana - Immediate Winners?
Posted by FOBW on 8/27/26 at 9:12 pm
Love that this is happening. Just looking at the site prep, do any local companies have a significant advantage just by being in the area?
For example sand and gravel. Very transportation cost sensitive. Is there a nearby source with an advantage or does barge/ship transport make that a non factor?
Rental equipment guys. Are those franchises where the local owner is about to be very rich.
Any companies on the intracostal in that area that can participate in this?
And does SpaceX have a preferred contractor or do they do the project management in house?

I would guess that they will build a headquarters/ administration site west of Lafayette near I10 for anyone who doesn’t need to be onsite.
Hopefully, most of the people working onsite permanently are from the area and just sort of live where they live now or maybe move a little closer depending on what they do for new roads.
Construction phase is going to be a mess.

re: Space City, LA - space X proposing a whole city in Vermillion Parish
Posted by FOBW on 8/25/26 at 9:41 pm to VermilionTiger
Are there any dry parts of the spaceport site? Could they build a man camp onsite?
Sounds like FWC is where everything is going to be built. So earthwork there first then start pouring concrete. Canal solves most of the logistical problems for that phase.
Building / furnishing the facilities is where a ton on congestion is going to start. I just don’t see how you get more than one road out of there.

I’m sure you are trying to be funny or just repeating what you think is a clever rhyme, but really it’s an unfair shot at a fairly well run company in a challenging industry.
And I would guess that Elon doesn’t get on any aircraft without a serious risk assessment beforehand.
