re: Hurricane Season - TD9 - Oh Boy

The current cone they use as so misleading. That’s just where the center may or may not go. What they need is a cone that is in two colors. One color that shows tropical storm conditions, and the other color that shows hurricane conditions.

I can’t link directly because of how the page is coded, but go here for wind speed arrival time: LINK

Then click “most likely” and “on” in the tabs just above the image. That’s always the image I screenshot to people if I’m trying to explain how things are looking for them.

Another tidbit:

The meter being used is a Neptune T-10, though we don't know if it is specifically a 5/8 or 1" meter. I have given a link to the product cut sheet below. The normal operating range for the 1" meter is 50 gph, so that meter was recording an average more than twice its operating range over 4 hours. I checked Black's, and the proper legal term of art is "something fricky" which should equal a directed verdict under No v shite.

An even better argument is the fact that most houses have a 3/4" service line. Even at 100 psi (20 psi over code-compliant), flow is still only 2160 gph. So the max should ever be seen in residential water consumption would be less than 8000 gallons over 4 hours, even in unusual conditions.

That's some high quality shite right there :cheers:

I know people are joking about a neighbor’s pool, but Google tells me a garden hose maxes out at about 1k gallons/hr. 30k gallons is a lot of water in four hours :lol:
Unless I’m making this up, I want to say I read on here years ago that some of the units need significant repairs/renovations and no one wants to be the one on the hook. I agree with you that it’s prime real estate, though.
Damn, I used to do that as a kid and never told anybody because I didn't want to piss off my mom. Had I only known it would have meant a spiritual calling :lol:

Dawn told investigators that she became "angry" with her husband, grabbed the gun, pointed it at him and pulled the trigger to "show him a lesson."

This is just layers of stupid.

I cba to look up Pennsylvania's law on the subject, but even taking her at face value, this would be an easy Manslaughter conviction in Louisiana.

Oh, is that what he’s talking about? The. Yeah, they are replacing old bus stops to make them more accessible. I didn’t think that’s what he’s talking about, as most of those aren’t directly on corners :lol:
18 wheelers climbing curbs to make turns they have no business making is the overwhelming cause of curb damage in town. Wouldn’t surprise me if they are trying to counter that as a prophylactic.
As I’ve said before, he came to LSU because he wants to be a legend on the same level as Saban. Who knows whether he can climb that mountain, but knowing he wants it and seems willing to work towards it is about all you can reasonably ask from a coach.

“We did not resurrect this project because of SpaceX,” Abell said, “We’ve been working on this since 2003.” However, it’s worth noting that the commission hadn’t met publicly since 2019, until last Tuesday.

People are so fricking stupid. Why lie? Just say that it wasn't dead, but it had been shelved due to economic factors. Those factors have now changed, so it's ramping back up. There's no reason to blow smoke up everyone's arse on it :lol:

Oh.

Obviously every situation is different, but I think it's also important to examine whether it would cause someone "financial hardship that would outweigh" the increase in happiness or whether it's simply "making less money". Once you've got the golden handcuffs on, it's hard to get them off, but it's not impossible.
I was apparently typing out my edit as you guys were typing out your replies :lol:
Can someone give me an example of "$ after the amount of people"? While it seems obvious what these words mean, that would make no sense to me and I don't recall ever seeing it, so I feel like I'm missing something :lol:

ETA: Ignore the above. Just realized I added the "of". So we're talking 100$ people. Meh, I don't like it, but whatever. Some currencies do it that way, so it's just convention :lol:

It’s time to make a career change when you believe another career will make you happier than your current one and won’t cause you financial hardship that would outweigh that happiness.

Four month old is still kicking my arse. It’s not that I don’t have the time; I just don’t have the bandwidth. Best I can get myself to do is read or listen to an audiobook.

One day I’ll get back to it :lol:
I think “doctors” is too broad a brush to paint with, but I left my male GP for a woman, just because I found him brusque. I’m extremely low needs as far as medical treatment is concerned, and I got tired of walking out of the appointment feeling like I was being treated as an inconvenience in spite of basically needing nothing other than my acid reflux medication being renewed for another year :lol:

Coming into the season, I think the consensus was that we needed to at least split Ole Miss/aTm and Texas/Bama. Better than that was lagniappe.
