re: Derek Chauvin's attorney seeks dismissal

I haven’t seen anything but prison politics differ vastly by region. I can’t imagine it’s been pleasant because he’s LE. But the guards may be sympathetic to him and help him out.
Prison systems often have specialized units for “high profile” prisoners at risk of being targeted by other inmates. For example- LEO. They are often placed
In these protective units for everyone’s benefit. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is in such a unit. Also wouldn’t be surprised if the correctional officers were treating him well.

Dammit. I had to stumble on this thread didn’t I. Through the years I’ve dabbled in smart plugs, switches, lights, cameras, thermostats…you get the idea. And like lots of people those things didn’t always work together. To the point that mostly we use the smart devices like their dumb counterparts. On/off manual switches, etc. I use the smart features more than my wife because I remember what controls them since I installed them.
What if there was a way to bring them all under one umbrella and create controls that work for our specific household? What do you mean there is?!? So, a new (to me) NUC and a bunch of hours later I have the skeleton of an actual home system, not just a semi-random assortment of smart home devices.
This will work well for us I think because my MIL lives in the neighborhood and we have access to her cameras, thermostats, and a couple other items. Now I can put those together in a little container and my wife has an easy place to keep an eye on things.
It’s gotten me excited about home automation again (but probably not quite to CAD levels). So thanks, I guess, for starting this thread. Or I hate you. Not quite sure which yet.

re: Baton Rouge stepping it's tourism game up

Baton Rouge will always be a small market. Events like a bowling tournament is about the best we can do. Maybe we can get a big rodeo or pickleball tournament. Wouldn't be huge but better than nothing.
Those type of events are actually likely to generate significantly more money to the local economy than large concerts in Tiger stadium. These events are multi-day or even multi week events and people come and stay in hotel here, eat out, and spend money. For economic development those events are golden. I agree that they aren’t as shiny as a big name artist selling out the stadium. But those events and attendees are more likely to return to BR for future events if they have a good time.
Reminds me of watching LSU on Tigervision on a CRT
Are they broadcasting this from 1979?

RIP Coach.
There’s a certain sort of symmetry in the fact that he and Coach Cador both passed away close together.

Would be nice to see who was on the jury.
Seems like this would be a case for a trial by judge rather than by a jury. A biased judge would probably end up with the same result but you at least have the chance that they will follow the law rather than just being emotionally manipulated.

re: Selling a house and TV wall mounts

general rule is anything that is attached to the wall stays with the house when it is sold. Does that usually apply to TV wall mounts as well?
Yes. But if you are in the process of selling, you can actually negotiate that with the buyer. I’ve known people who left mounts and TVs due to negotiation, and known people who wanted to take the mounts.
My opinion- by the time you take the mounts down and patch and paint the walls it’s likely not worth the effort. Leave the mounts and buy new ones at the new house.

re: Data scientist uncovers massive scale of “personal care” Medicaid fraud in Maine (thread)

1. Decent Health Care. The name alone should tell you something’s up. “Yeah- I want decent healthcare. Don’t give me good healthcare. Decent will do.”
2. Maine? Until recently I thought Maine was a low population low drama kind of state. I wouldn’t have thought there was a large enough population to make Medicaid fraud feasible. At least not for long before someone caught on pretty quickly.

Louisiana Act 579, passed and signed by Landry this year, says no. This might get interesting. It’s not a 1A question, but it is a legal question under the new Louisiana law.

re: Riddle me this about the US healthcare system
Posted by BR Tiger on 7/9/26 at 7:41 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
Lots of layers that add nothing to actual patient care. Bloated administration, closing and billing, insurance, etc. all expenses that are paid before the bottom line, keeping those margins down.
In a very short time, we are going to be in a situation where AI can look at our system and optimize it for lowest cost and best outcomes. It will be interesting when the capability is there to see how the current system pushes back against such realignments/redesigns.
