The university has a huge endowment for its size. It once owned WWL and the LSU Dental School and sold them for a nice profit.


There’s a reason there’s a Loyola Drive in Kenner. A one time all that property along there from University City to the lake was owned by the university too.

Graduated in 1980s with a degree in physics so my information is mostly obsolete. The student population then had a large contingent from Miami, Puerto Rico and St Louis in addition to locals.

Does he plan on joining the Turning Point USA chapter?

In the 80s they threw doubloons that could be redeemed for a 2 piece dinner. I seem to recall Al and family would ride on one of his boats in the Metairie parades.

The article is pushing fear.


It’s propaganda. The source article compares defined benefits (pensions) to defined contributions (401k,etc). You know what’s not included? IRAs

re: Pottery found in creek

I gave ChatGPT the picture and said that it was found in Prairieville

————-
Prairieville, Louisiana puts this squarely in a very well-documented Native pottery region.

Based on your photo and that location, this is most likely a prehistoric Native American cord-marked pottery sherd from the Lower Mississippi Valley tradition.

?

Most Likely Cultural Origin

Coles Creek / Plaquemine Tradition

Approx. 700–1600 AD

This area was occupied by:
   •   Coles Creek culture (700–1200 AD)
   •   Later Plaquemine culture (1200–1600 AD)
These are ancestral to historic Natchez-area groups and produced large amounts of cord-marked utility pottery just like this.

?

Why This Fits Your Piece

Features That Match
   •   Diagonal cord impressions
Made by paddling wet clay with a cord-wrapped wooden tool — very common in Louisiana river cultures
   •   Thick wall section
Suggests a cooking or storage jar, not fine tableware
   •   Grit temper visible
Crushed sand or shell added to strengthen clay
   •   Eroded surface
Typical of creek or drainage finds

?

What Part of the Pot This Is

This looks like a body sherd (side wall), not rim or base.
It likely came from a:
   •   Large cooking jar
   •   Water or grain storage vessel

?

Age Estimate

Very likely:

800 to 1,400 years old

That’s common for creek finds in Ascension Parish due to erosion of buried village sites along old bayous and terraces.

Anybody know why he didn't just threaten to tase the driver rather than wrestling with her?


Tasing at close range isn’t ideal. If you tase at close range there’s not a lot of spread on the probes so the impact is localized.

There’s supposed to be a concall between NCAA, the judge and Aguilar attorneys today
Something's fricky. There's supposed to be a hearing today about the future of Joey Aguilar. His case is almost identical to Pavia. If he gets the wavier Vols don't need another QB.

Yesterday Zenitz publishes an article using anonymous sources saying that Aguilar request will be denied.

Is Zenitz shilling for Team Leavitt?

I hope it is that Leavitt signed with Tennessee


The rumor up here is TN offered Leavitt $3.5M. TN found out that Aguilar will have his hearing on Monday and feel confident he will get another year so don’t feel the need to spend all that $$

It's really remarkable what can be done. Tasks I used to hand off to entry/junior level coworkers I now just ask AI to write. I get results almost instantly and it will ask if I want additional features I hadn't thought about.

It's really remarkable that you can point AI at a swagger document and ask it to write a python script to complete a task based on that document.

How about water?


About 15 years ago we wanted to use river water rather than evaporative cooling for our data center. Similiar to how Waterford 3 worked. We never could get epa approval

So why not use a closed system?


Because running water chillers is more expenaive

I'm not saying he isn;t good, I honestly don't know, but I have read that Golesh's system is really gimmicky which would make me wonder if it would translate.


The same thing is said about Josh Heupel at TN which is where Golesh was OC before UCF.

That gimmicky offense at UT was the #1 offense points per game in the SEC this year

Living in Knoxville this week has been fun. Vol fans have regressed back to the anger stage of dealing with grief.

I think it’s just the residual of COVID redshirts still hanging around. Next year should regress back to the mean.


The Pavia story is an important data point here. He basically said that with NIL he (players in general) are entitled to 4 years to earn a salary. Years at JC don't count since they don't earn NIL.

The NCAA went along with that story rather than go to court and lose. Get ready because next year players like Joey Aguilar at Tennessee will also be asking for an extra NIL year.

4 years of NIL will be come the new normal.

if you believed Tucker then you believe the fbi since that’s where his info came from


I don’t believe that’s true. The fbi scrubbed crooks online presence. What they did not scrub was replies to crooks and instances of where he was quoted. These are the basis of a lot of what Tucker says.
Correct but I think Cathy Woods and Ark are investors. I'm aware of a few customers for a Kaleidos.

Other companies that build small reactors are
NuScale Power
Oklo

There's also Kairos Power but it's also private.

Type One Energy is another private company that has made a deal with TVA to replace a coal plant.
