The games used to not have the TV timeouts. Now that every game is televised and last much longer, it simply isn't possible for the band to carry the game.

That said, I think they are also trying to keep the short attention span modern audience occupied while in their seats during those timeouts. I think people would be shocked to experience what games were like back in the 70's and early 80's before the two and half minute time outs.

This truck is going to do well in the commercial marketplace. Lots of companies with local dispatch needs will adopt this as they all can return back to the depot each night and recharge. Low maintenance on EV's and a cheap entry price will go a long way.
There is no reason to flow traffic through campus on Highland while game day traffic is at peak volume. EMS vehicles can always be allowed to pass. This stupidity is part of the reason it take upwards of an hour or more to get from the Indian Mounds to Dalrymple across Highland after a game.
I remember when China was growing as a world consumer reading an article that widely available good wine at expected prices would all but disappear for American consumption when Chinese demand would outstrip supply both here and in France. Now we're burning fields.

Forgot about that video. Few things show 80's drama like slow motion doves.
They just need to rebrand AI as HAL. Then you'll have your answer.

DiGiulio's has been a place where we've enjoyed eating going back to their early days. It's one of the few spots everyone in the family or a group of friends can agree on when picking a restaurant and always a favorite for my kids since they were little. Mike has kept the quality consistent but he also continues updating enough to keep people interested and attract new loyal customers. He never fails to drop by the table to talk a bit or help squeeze us into the bar if there is a wait. I appreciate the effort they make not to rest on tradition or just coast on reputation.
Evaluate both positions as if salary was made equal and determine which one offers a better track forward. Then consider how your current company will react to this scenario and your request. Sometimes it is better to simply leave than to burn a bridge. There are a lot of industries, though, where this is playing out, so it may not be a total shock. Make sure that other job offer is firm and ready to go in case you are shown the door.

The clam shell driveways and parking lots with the white dust covering the cars seemed to be a feature of casual seafood restaurants back then. Along with piers and large gauge rope marking off the walkways and property, that was a staple into the 80’s.

They really should just name this drink "The Shaker". Throw a wagyu bone to the OT.

we have been receiving a postcard from the LSU Alumni Office each week for the past 6 weeks or so


Somewhere in an office off West Lakeshore, an email has just gone out requesting those post card intervals be changed to every 3 weeks.

I think we all watched enough cartoons growing to know exactly what happened: man comes in contact with some industrial waste or secret material, transforms into a monster living in water, travels the drainage system, then when killed, he reverts to his normal self, even wearing his glasses again.

I wouldn’t worry about the neighbors and their golf carts. They probably get two first class upgrades and don’t leave their wife in coach.

Go watch videos where US customs smashes incorrectly imported vehicles then get back to us. For a while they rounded up Land Rover Defenders across the US and impounded them, only halted by court actions which took a long time to play out. Back 10 years ago or so, Customs made a big deal of destroying some Defenders on video to deter anyone else trying to get around the 25 year rule. There have been other cars with big social media enthusiast presence like Nissan Skylines that were targeted.

Figure out what you want, know the rules, and get a good importer with a known reputation for using the right ports of entry and doing paperwork correctly on whatever vehicle you want.
