Not an expert.

But, my understanding is that FPSOs are a bad option if you have a pipeline/hub anywhere near you.

Interesting article on the subject of dealerships.

What are the odds politicians would ever fix the problem?
If he is young and that is the industry he wants to work in, do it.

Nothing wrong with a union gig to either build a career or to gain experience before you go out on your own.

Pinchers Seafood if you are by the Silver Slipper.
If they didn’t get a court order to draw blood, he should be able to beat the DWI.

Looks bad but getting knocked around in a rollover sounds like reasonable doubt for being unsteady.

Body cam might change all that though.

Judge was a little slow in maintaining control of her courtroom.

I don’t think many judges would have tolerated that attitude without immediate correction.
Is this development “Tulane” enough to be exempted from the property tax rolls?

Because the guy who got lit up says they were tearing up the streets Saturday and Sunday in the video.

Plus, those little bikes look like they have kids on them who probably aren’t licensed for public roads. My guess is they bought bikes for the whole family and were buzzing around the neighborhood checking them out.

Not a big deal, but if there was excessive speed and noise, not a neighborly thing to do. Everyone involved could have behaved better.

Are those his kids with him?

Why is he just looping around the neighborhood? I would think that Tennessee has perfect weather and country roads for riding.

If I paid for one of those houses, I would want a little peace and quiet to go with it.
I think that most of this was driven by government pressure in Europe.

Surprised at how big they jumped in on it considering there was no chance of making money on it.
I thought that they brought it to move to Vegas. Now that the nba is offering an expansion team to Vegas, no longer need.

Although I don’t know if the adelsons are part of the expansion team.
Tipping hotel staff is traditional, nothing new.

Tip on checkout, x/room night.

All the new tipping pressure is bs, don’t participate.
lol, nobody cares what your opinion is. Congrats on having an opinion.

But, wouldn’t private parties negotiating and agreeing to whatever terms they want be unfettered freedom.

Getting the government involved with rules, restrictions and taxes sounds like less freedom.
Pick your poison.

Assuming legalized gambling has increased the amount wagered, then that is more money coming out of family budgets.

Either way, the state taking a side.
State sanctioned gambling is a negative for society. Partly because it makes credit and collection easier. But mainly because of addicts with families who end up on the state’s dole. Perfectly reasonable to legislate.

Nobody can stop anyone from gambling. Just do it outside the law where it is a little less attractive and all remedies are personal.

I went out to a satellite rig with spool pieces that had been pre-fabricated for the job. Did not fit. Welder on the job went off on how the engineer responsible really didn’t know shite from shinola and spent the next eight hours cutting, fitting and welding the spools into place. Luckily we got supper when we got back to the platform.

I like engineers, interesting minds, but that welder was funnier than shite with his comments. Apparently wasn’t the first time an engineer had fricked up his day.

1. Put some tint in those widows.
2. What this guy said, bring that front bed out and plant another American Holly about 10’ from the house. Or
3. Plant a sugar maple out in the yard.

Hourly employees at UPS generally are given a full days work everyday.

There are some cakewalk routes, but the old guys get those based on seniority.
