re: LeBron James will not be back with Lakers

The Lakers were my favorite team as a kid during Magic era, then again during Shaq era, but I turned into a hater after the Shaq/Kobe split. I sort of rooted for Lebron during 1st Cavs stint and again during Cavs championship run. I pulled against the Heat big time. I briefly considered pulling for Lakers when he joined the stacked West because it seemed brave of him to mentor a really talented but young roster. Then he threw his teammates under the bus publicly and orchestrated the fraudulent trade for AD. I’ve been a hater since even though I appreciate his talent. I might sort of root for the Lakers again now.

Thx for the detailed timeline of your own personal rooting interest

And how u fit into the larger national picture.

I get it. U basically live on Pluto. As New Orleans is its own planet.

But let the rest of us help u out, perspective-wise

re: Why doesn’t our society ever talk about how few Korean War vets are left?

Posted by Raoul Stimulato on 6/29/26 at 2:30 pm to weagle1999

My grandpa in Dayton Ohio fricked some shite up when he was over in Korea in the early 50s

Then he came back home and had 6 kids.

He also built his own house, being a bricklayer.

Then he passed from mesothelioma due to aspestos exposure.

Absolute unit.

I watched it Friday.

Great premise. But I thought the execution was just ok.

I didn’t find the audio files to be overly compellling w mystery couple.

The lonely house was creepy, but not much was done w that.

Lots of loose ends w sick mom that never really paid off.

Still, some chops low-key on display. I just think there was more there .

re: Google’s plan to eradicate mosquitoes.

Posted by Raoul Stimulato on 6/27/26 at 8:51 pm to Stealth Matrix

Aedes aegytpi show up in New Orleans and Mobile, but only in the most populous, densely-cloistered sectors.

Aedes albopictus - meanwhile - are fairly ubiquitous.

Both are artificial-container breeding mosquitoes.

It’s not good enough to just dump those containers, also need to wipe interior as well. As eggs are lodged there.
