re: Newsom has clearly started his ‘28 campaign. How long to Kamala wait?

I don't want to sound like a Panican, but what about Trump?
Does he bow out at the start of next year to leave Vance to try right any losses from the midterms and be eligible to serve two full terms?
Maybe if Trump resigns, Vance appoints him as Vice President for the next two years to keep him around and on the throat of the dems. When Vance runs, he selects Rubio to be his VP for the next term.

Doubling Communications

What is the point of asking you to email them something and then also asking you text them that you emailed them?
It seems rather counter productive and double work if you ask me.
You get alerted on your phone that an email was received. A text message is just another ding to throw off your line of thinking.
Just my 2 cents.

re: I-10 from Baytown to Beaumont early morning

Whoever designed interstate 10 through Beaumont needs to be shot. It’s got more curves than a formula 1 race track.
I can see the big curve where I-10 hits US 96 and merges with it in a T Configuration. Then there is a smaller curve right before where US 96 leaves I-10. Then it curves again in Winnie where it is pretty much a straight shot.
Still doesn't beat the two curves in New Orleans East near the High Rise.
Those are some tight curves for three lanes going 60-85 MPH then to have to climb over the bridge, and deal with merging traffic.
I feel bad for an 18 Wheeler Driver.

What the frick is Trumps deal with McDonalds?
He did work there previously.
Must have gotten plenty of stock options for the afternoon he worked there.
McDonald's at a time was the official restaurant of the Olympics before ending their sponsorship in 2017/2018.
If you are old enough to remember McDonalds lost their arse on a promotion where they gave free Big Macs in 1984 if the US won gold. That year the Soviets boycotted the games in Los Angeles and the US won so many gold medals that McDonalds took a big financial hit on the free food redeemed.

Well, it is not like we had a 3 day work week like last week in South Louisiana for Mardi Gras and President's Day. That is the Daily Double of holidays.
It is like when the 4th of July falls on a Thursday. Ain't nobody paying attention at work if you work at an office. Nearly half the office is taking a vacation day to maximize the holiday falling on a Thursday. The worst is a holiday falling on a Wednesday, that is when the work week for offices is pretty much shot, and most just take the entire week off if they can.

The worst part about having a bidet...is NOT having a bidet.
I love mine. I miss it when I have to go at work.
Since I work for a small company. I don't want to be the one to install one in the cummunial bathroom and have everyone think I am a freak for having a water squirter to hit you where the good Lord splits you.
Using a bidet is way more sanitary and you use less paper especially if you have one of those sticky sessions where it feels like you are giving birth to a baby. The cold water soothes your but hole after a spicy Taco Bell session that hits you like Draino.
Danos
Danos been making some in roads and diversifying into other businesses outside of oil and gas and contract laborers.
Of course 2 or 3 brothers are running the ship from while it could be a billion dollar company, they may not be individually be worth a billion.
Lots of old money still in the oilfield.
Also, don’t count out Rouses. They keep getting bigger. While Donny maybe the front man, their ownership is spread out through the family. So while one person is the front man making deals, others are in the back collecting a dividend and ownership in the company. Making groceries is a big business.

Winning would do a number on filling the seats.
If you can solve the team culture and get some productive talent on the court that wins games.
The problems solves itself. Until you can at least be in the hunt for the playoffs, you are essentially the Washington Generals of the NBA.
Also, does putting us in the west limit our chances of making the playoffs with so many good teams in the west. Let's say we played in the east, would we have a more manageable schedule and have more playoff seasons.
One other thing, the NBA season is way to long in my opinion. Too many games, it waters down the excitement and enthusiasm for a home game when you may have two or 3 home games in a row. Not to mention the over priced warmed over food.

You do know that there are more than one electric company in the state right?
While there are many power companies in the state, there is one common denominator, Entergy and MISO run the wholesale market and Entergy primarily runs the high voltage interstate transmission network.
There are some exceptions, but Entergy’s hand runs deep in Louisiana.
It is not as crazy as some places in Texas where Centerpoint runs the lines to your house, but you can choose from a cornucopia of providers that offer different rate plans.
quote:
This is an important point. If META is giving Entergy 15 years worth of build and maintenance cost, once that is over, the useful life of the plants being build will be covered by consumers. Guess what happens as unit age? They become increasingly costly to maintain.
So from an Entergy stockholder perspective, buy Entergy on the near term 5-10 years, but sell before META says this power plant is now your problem. Of course META would still be one of Entergy’s largest customers so they too would be on the hook of increased electric costs or they would need to close the site.
With all this planned future growth of natty gas electric power plants, are we sure there is enough supply over the next 2 decades or will there come a time that maybe a plant should be flexible in fuel choices? Could we get burned $$$ by a shortage of gas and we need to reverse those LNG plants to import natty gas back into the country including from countries that hate us?

That's SWEPCO, but they're all part of MISO so it's all a connected grid. That said, electricity trading is not remotely in my wheelhouse, so I'm not going to try to figure out how SWEPCO costs impact Entergy costs.
Correct me if I am wrong but…
Entergy or a local power generating company that generates power sells that power to MISO and then MISO sells it back to the power companies even if they generated it.

My high school French teacher told us a story what happened to her in her visit to France during an exchange program she did.
She was from South Lafourche so she had an understanding and background of Cajun French. So while living with this family she came across this beautiful young girl and said she looked like a doll but in Cajun French.
But in France as the language evolved, that Cajun French word for doll became known as the word for prostitute. So she called this girl a whore, imagine the embarrassment she had.

The boxing forum and the darting forum cited a big drop in active membership as their reason, along with the amount of time the admins have to dedicate to keeping things running smoothly. People get older, other things happen in their lives that make it harder to maintain sites, etc.
One thing to consider is the cost of hosting and legacy servers that have reached the end of life and the cost to transfer the old data and membership data to a new server or hosting service outweigh the advertising revenue coming in.
I could imagine decades of knowledge posted on these boards one day vanishing because Microsoft or Linux won’t support a legacy program that has been running since the 1990’s. At least if the way back machine site still works we may be able to still see some of those old sites.
Another thing that I think that is becoming a regulatory nightmare has been personal information storage and sharing, some companies and sites have been getting hit with lawsuits or cyberattacks for this data. That is probably increasing liability insurance rates higher too as blood sucking attorneys seek new places for a class action lawsuit to cut their teeth into.

There is another one that has been burning South of Des Allemands for a few weeks now.
I saw it crossing the bridge. It is way out in the Marsh.
Even in Bay St. Louis, there was a fire or someone was burning something by the Silver Slipper road.

Malfunctioning elevators, substandard rooms, and subpar table gaming!
Caesars in New Orleans had a major issue last year where the down escalator to the tunnel from the parking garage was broken for months.
You either had to cross Poydras on the surface or use the single elevator that takes you to the tunnel.
I find it dumb they just didn’t put the garage elevators to go down to the tunnel level instead of having to make the run down the escalator. Then you have the stairs in the middle of the tunnel which makes no sense because now you had to make a handicap ramp to make it accessible. I know it has been that way since it opened, but someone should have thought about that instead of making a hazard.
