re: Port of Call New Orleans Drama

Back in the late 90s/early 00s I shot pool for a bar on the corner of Chartres and Toulouse and between matches my teammates and I would step outside to get some fresh air. The back kitchen access for the old Raplh and Kacoo's was on Toulouse and we used to watch DOZENS of rats the size of chihuahuas scampering in and out of the doors.

Anyone would be delusional to believe they can go to ANY restaurant in the Quarter and not have a chance of there being rodents or insects in the kitchens or common areas. The area is a 300 year old rodent Disneyland.

I didn't but a coworker did. It's Tikka's official website. Everything went thru on his end. Waiting to see if he gets a confirmation or a "sorry we can't honor that sale due to a misprint on our website".

The lighter of the 2 parts, would fly away at a damaging, possibly fatal, speed


Without being in a chamber to build pressure, the case reaching a fatal speed is impossible. At the moment the bullet comes unseated from the casing, the burning powder is free to disperse in all directions instead of being forced in one direction down a barrel. Will it hurt if it hits you from a close range? Sure, but no way would it be fatal. Bruising and/or a minor cut at worse.
quote:

Without being shot through a barrel, it's basically a firecracker.


Basically. Without a chamber to direct the exit of the expanding gasses from the gunpowder explosion, the projectile - being the heaviest component in a bullet - will stay pretty much still and the bullet casing will fly off in the opposite direction from the projectile. The case could cause some bruising if it hits you from a very close range but that's about it.

In the video you posted, the projectiles are traveling forward because the base of casing is held firm to the barrel of the bb gun. So the bullet is forced to go forward until it clears the casing and then there is no more force behind it.

Working at an outdoor shooting range, we have this happen all the time in winter when we're burning fires in our burn barrels for heat and sometimes an un-spent round gets thrown into the barrels by shooters thinking it's a trash can.. It's just a loud pop. Scares you more than anything else.

The SAR9's are great guns. I've had a SAR9C for a year now and love it.

PSA has one on sale right now too.

I went last year and it was great! Looking forward to year two!

Super cheap considering local shop wanted 125/tire.


I found the same thing around where I live in Ponchatoula. 3 shops all quoted me over $100 each.

Thing is I can’t figure out how to schedule it online. How do you schedule it?


You have to call the auto dept to schedule. Or go in there.

Go to Walmart. Seriously. $30 each installed.

Just had all 4 done on my 2016 F150. 3 of mine failed within 2 weeks after 9 years.

I upgraded just from the 16 Pro Max and it’s noticeably faster

It was crazy how quick I was switching through games on ESPN app Saturday.


I upgraded from the same to the 17 Pro Max. First thing I noticed was how fast it switched between apps and the transitions were flawless. Speed is amazing on it. Second thing I noticed is camera image quality, especially on the front facing cam. Lastly, the battery is lasting me a couple extra hours.
Fed Ex just dropped my Pro Max off... Here we go!!!

Oh my! This one is delicious! This limited run has been sold out for quite a while but I just opened one tonight.

Funny story about it... I went to Gnarly for a sip or two and went home with 2 bottles from the cooler... Then a few weeks later I went back for a sip or two and went home with 2 more... Totally oblivious to the fact I bought the 2 a few weeks before...

I sure am glad to have 4...errr...now 3 bottles of this. :cheers:

looks like the railroad tracks running along HWY 51 are closed, too?


I saw a news report yesterday that was taken from an angle that showed a train rolling by as the fire was blazing. I don't think they closed the tracks. Just the roadways.
As I mentioned in my post on page 2, I used to work there. I spoke to someone yesterday who was still working there and he told me where it started.

I posted this pic earlier as well showing that.

am just curious. Hopefully no one was injured.


From someone I know who works there, everyone got out. No injuries.
See my post on the 2nd page here. I list out many of the products made there.

Several fuels and highly flammable chemicals like starter fluid(ether) and brake cleaner. Even premixed 2 stroke fuels.


Plus all the other oils and chemicals.

unless it spread to other tanks or warehouses.


Unless??? Every structure on that property either had packaging lines, finished product, or packaging materials, all highly flammable. By morning I'd imagine every building will be leveled. Here's the facility before... Notice where I marked it started, from what I was told.



Here's what it looks like as of 2 hours ago... (Notice the admin building in the bottom right of each pic)

I'm hearing they were self-insured...
