re: Bill banning fluoride in Louisiana’s public water systems clears Senate committee

Of course Mike Fesi would be one of the authors of this bill.

So far our legislature wants to: ban fluoride, ban “weather control” chemicals, and exempt NIL money…among other things. Meanwhile, I believe we rolled back restrictions on chemical plants in cancer alley, sales tax went up and covers more items, insurance still high, and we’ve withdrawn funds/plans for major coastal restoration and flood projects. Loser state governed by morons.

vs the $40 I just spent on a capacitor?

Or is that a subtle “if you have to ask, call a pro”, in which case how about I want to be sure I order the right capacitor and don’t want to shut my AC down twice to do so? No hurt in asking a question. If you have nothing of value to add, keep scrolling.

Just took a look and you’re right. Fan motor has been replaced at some point and it is a 10MFD motor. Will be ordering a couple AMRAD 45/10 capacitors.

Unit started up while I was out there and didn’t make any weird noises, might let the current capacitors ride a little bit longer.

Perfect. I’ll check the unit tomorrow and see if I can access the fan motor to confirm the mfd requirement. Appreciate the help!

The fan on the unit was likely replaced and came with the 10Mf cap. So they abandoned the 5MF side of the dual

This was suggested to me elsewhere too. How can I confirm the fan was replaced? Pull the side panels?

Edit: Are you having problems? Why was the tech out?

No issues. He was out for annual maintenance. Said it was starting to test weak.

Edit: if the fan was replaced, assuming I would just need a 45/10 dual run now.

AC tech said my 3 year old capacitor is testing weak and wanted to charge $150 or so to replace it. I’m fairly handy and YouTube says this is an easy swap. Opened the service panel today to see what capacitor I need to order and am greeted with this:

It’s a Jard 12932 10MFD capacitor ziptied and wired to a Totaline P291-4554RS 45+5MFD dual run capacitor.

1) Why did the tech install like this?
2) What capacitor do I need? :lol:

Unit is a Lennox 14ACX-042-230-12, I *think* it’s all original, but not positive.

Actually, it’s not. They had been talking about shutting these down since Covid. They also goofed up by shutting down for Covid - though can’t blame them, hindsight is always 20/20.

Bummed about the closures though. Maypop was on my list. Wife and I always enjoyed MoPho even if it was a bit overpriced. Food was good and interesting.

Yeah I Uber’d downtown and ran home after the race. Heard the shuttles were a mess. My only complaints were no water or trash cans near the corrals. Oh and post race music is about 25 decibels too high…but that’s every year and I didn’t stick around long anyway. Some folks on Reddit were annoyed with the confetti cannons spectators had…I kind of agree at least for the first wave of runners. Save that for the party pace folks, not people actually competing.

I had a Garmin pacepro plan to go 42:59 and stupidly decided I could stay 10s/mile ahead of that pace. Turns out I could, but only for 4.5 miles.

There were a few of the Vaporfly 4’s in a similar color out there. I was the only one with red Next% 2’s that I saw. I was probably behind you the whole way :lol:

Tough day out there. Wheels fell off at mile 5. 44:12 slower than my time last year but still enough for a poster.

re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Posted by jordan21210 on 4/18/25 at 9:52 pm

I’ll be out there. Aiming for a sub 43. Not sure on full kit but will have my red Vaporfly next% 2 on. Holler if you see me.

Glad to see the next generation of bigots and homophobes is going strong.

It’s 2025, someone being gay is perfectly normal and acceptable. My brother is gay, are you implying I need to keep my children away from him so they don’t become “indoctrinated”? Are you retarded, seriously?

I know of the guy they had funding them and he does seem sketchy. Glad they got out of it and are back open on their own terms.

I thought the chef went back to Japan after a falling out with the owner or something.

Also agree Michelin is definitely not going to come to New Orleans and give out a star to an omakase restaurant.
