re: A little good news: IBM will triple hiring

IBM got a big tax break to open an office in BR sone years back provided they hired a certain amount of ‘good paying’ jobs. It was a call center.
You sure don’t hear about it much these days do you? Remember it was going to be a ‘game changer’ for BR?

As much as this sucks for Musetti, I do want to see Novak reach 25. This is likely one of his last chances. Although a walkover, and an injury, through his first 5 matches, there is somewhat of an asterisk there right now.
True, but would somewhat make up for not being able to play because of the vax refusal BS. Don’t see him being able to beat Carlos/Sinner though unless they get hurt too.

What's the story of his hitting/strangling of 1 or more girls in the past? I remember a few years back some of the accusations, but I don't know if they were true. If it was a he said/she said type thing or someone looking to make a quick buck.

I hear they are making it harder to watch with all the new platforms for viewing. You need a couple different tiers of ESPN streaming to be able to watch all the matches apparently?
Yes. Its been very annoying. Most matches are only available if you ESPN Unlimited which is ESPNs new standalone streaming service. You have the regular ESPN2 broadcast that doesn't start until 8 or 9 PM CST, a handful of matches that are ESPN+ and then the majority which are ESPN Unlimited. Was able to watch Mboko/Tauson yesterday on the Spanish ESPN as they were showing that match.
Australian Open 2026
Posted by brickyard on 1/23/26 at 9:48 am
Anyone been watching the Australian Open this year? I guess it shows how far tennis has fallen off without a thread being started and we're already to the 3rd round.
Its been pretty good so far with of course a few upsets as always. Sabalenka was taken to the brink yesterday and barely pulled it out. Alcaraz seems to be ramping up each match as he goes for the career slam. Tommy Paul is playing well, so he may be able to give Alcaraz a battle in the next round.
Its about to get good as we get to the later rounds and have some high ranking matchups.

Wasn’t this the game Faulk was suspended for the first half?
Any way we can get some stripes on the roadways while we're at it?
So many roads around BR, you can barely see the lines or flat out not at all. And this is when its not raining. Even worse when its raining.

re: Outdoor C9 Christmas Lights
Posted by brickyard on 11/24/25 at 8:28 am to Trout Bandit
Did you get white or colored?
I got Opticore C9 colored and put them out this weekend. They replaced the regular incandescent that Home Depot sells.
Anyhow, the colors are beautiful. Nice and vibrant. Something just seems a little off though. I guess its just the bright light of the led vs the soft light of an incadescent.
Hopefully they come around on me as I love the fact that they use way less electricity and are practically indestructible. No paint to chip off either which is nice. Just don't like the actual light being put off as much as incadescents.
My mini lights in the bushes are incadescent. That might throw things off a littel bit too. It might help if those were leds as well.

I bought a cheap Delta handheld from Home Depot recently. The restrictor was easy to remove in it.
As others have said, find one where the restrictor is removed easily. Most have a little black rubber one that can be removed. Once removed, you'll have plenty of flow.

Because of everyone's recommendations, I bought some smooth C9 Opticore bulbs.
Ready to swap out 150 bulbs this weekend!

Thanks everyone for the responses. And John Wayne brought up a good point, the good ones are in high demand so may not be accepting new patients.
Appreciate everyone's input.

General Practitioner Recommendations - BR Clinic
Posted by brickyard on 11/11/25 at 10:07 am
I have no familiarity with any of the doctors there, but figure its as good as any place to pick a doctor with the many of them that are there.
I'm to the age now where I need to have my own doctor. I've been fortunate through the years that I don't hardly ever get sick and the few times I needed one, I just went into one of the minute clinics.
I would rather a male doctor and someone who is in there 40s just so they hopefully won't be retiring soon or leaving. Also, someone that is pretty easy to get an appt. with when needed is a big plus too. I hear a lot of stories of people not being able to get appts with their doctor when they need them. That it may be weeks before they can get in to see him or her.
So in stating all of that, does anyone have any recommendations?

Great question on how he weaseled his way into LSU athletics. Guess it shows you Coach O's lack of capable people around him.
Disagree on the radio host part. I thought he did a good job on the radio.

What makes things even worse is the lack of traveling calls. Take 3 steps all of the time that never get called. But on fouls, they call every little thing. Even sometimes when there's no contact.

Not true. They used it against Ole Miss the next week. It just wasn't as effective (obviously).
