re: Question about FIFA "clean stadium "policy

Posted by Stateguy on 6/15/26 at 5:58 am to Brightside Bengal

would assume its in a contract somewhere. If FIFA doesn't get their way on this, your stadium isn't used.

As for Sofi - the TV announcers continually referred to it as that. And would think some signage would have to say Sofi, it has never had another name you could call it by (ex Superdome instead of Caesar's Superdome)

Question - in all seriousness - for the people who would know

Does the city or state pay organizers of things like JazzFest, FQ Fest, Mardi Gras parades, Sugar Bowl? I'm not talking about absorbing possible costs - like police fees - but make direct subsidies to these other events?

Small "business" banking account

Posted by Stateguy on 4/25/26 at 9:50 am

Looking for bank recommendation. Preferably a small local bank that won't cost me anything

Was using Heritage Bank of St Tammany. But they were bought out by On Path Credit Union. This will force me to pay a $10 monthly fee that I didn't prior.

I have a side business with 1099 income. Basically use account to separate business from personal finances. Effectively only use it for clearing account before moving money to solo 401K or pay self employment taxes. No real expenses - everything I spend gets reimbursed and put on personal cards - so not really making purchases from account.

I use it in 2 strokes.

left it in blower that didn't run for 2 years for lack of pull starter. When I fixed that, it started fine.

I admit, I don't need a ton of it so cost isn't that much of an issues and maintenance of small things like that is not my strong suit

How does one practically remove 100s/1000s of little small soil cores from the lawn?

thought some people could rake them up

no sprinkler system to worry about

Thanks for the info

Aerating vs Dethatching

Posted by Stateguy on 3/19/26 at 6:27 am

More interested in my yard looking good (think it's a sign of old age for me)

On Northshore
Yard is primarily St Aug and established about 12 years.

I've never aerated or dethatched. Have raked and removed some thatch in parts of yard. But for most part I just mow and left shavings. I've been here 7 years, almost certain guy before me did nothing like this either.

I have access to core aerator. Hopeful that this would help general health of yard.
Questions are if I do aerate
Would I need to remove all the cores removed? Or do you typically just let them breakdown?
Would it possible help the drainage thru the soil as it's a clay heavy soil? would this require adding sand

Or am I completely wrong and should I rent a dethather? What I've read typically suggest since it's never been aerated or dethatched that aerating is better

re: Suppressor/NFA Single Shot Trust

Posted by Stateguy on 3/17/26 at 5:59 am to Old Man and a Porch

Guy at work told me about Single Shot trusts as an option to easily add people - almost as if it couldn't be done with the "regular" gun trust. But if expecting to buy multiple suppressors (haven't heard anyone stop at 1), do most people still use the single shot?

Major insurers like Blue Cross simply purchased from the compounding pharmacies and that's why your Ozempic, Zepbounds, Mounjaros, etc were a 10.00 a month co-pay.
