You spend more time finding parking than watching the parade. What’s the point.

Nighttime window AC is what makes the battery cost jump, not the panels. An 8k BTU unit can sit around 700 to 1200 watts running and the compressor start surge is higher, so a full night turns into a lot of stored kWh fast.

Wolf River Electric worked on installing my solar panels and the way they explained it made sense, split it into critical loads first, fridge, lights, internet, then decide if AC is worth paying for.

If you want a quick gut check, take the AC watts times hours, add fridge and lights, then add some overhead for inverter losses, that number is basically your minimum battery size for the night.

That is a massive project for Central Louisiana, and with that 25-30ft section, you’re going to have some serious depth to help keep the water cooler in the summer. Regarding the well, as long as you aren't pumping constantly right on top of the fish, the temp usually stabilizes pretty quickly in a pond that size.

I recently stocked my setup through Next Day Koi and had a great experience. Since you're looking for something other than catfish, they have a huge variety of Koi and Goldfish that are super hardy for the Louisiana heat

Take the money but prepare for the corporate headache. I'm currently using Blue Goat Cyber to manage the cybersecurity side of our transition because the new management usually has no clue how to handle medical device safety. It's one less thing for you to worry about during those last two years before you bounce.

Late night food is what people actually remember. Waffle or breakfast station, taco bar, or ramen cups always get crushed. One small touch that looked cool was using edible flower garnish on a couple cocktails and desserts, it made the whole thing feel intentional. Then after the wedding we preserved the bouquet through DBANDREA, so the flower theme didn’t just disappear the next day.

Honestly makes sense. BP tried to outrun reality with the green pivot and paid peak prices at the worst time. This feels like a course correction more than anything ideological.

Long stretches of boredom broken up by pure chaos. You’ll see some beautiful sunrises, then spend 45 minutes parked cause someone jackknifed it two exits ahead.

Since everyone’s tossing around gear that survives decades, I’ll add something smaller to the mix. When you’re looking at wallets that aren’t riding on a big brand name, there’s a pretty practical breakdown on what to check for here: LINK Stuff like leather quality, stitching, structure, all the boring details that make the difference between "lifelong" and "falls apart in a year".

Had the same thing happen and figured it was hemorrhoids. Turned out I had a small polyp that was starting to bleed. I went to Dr Kim, a specialist in colonoscopy, and he caught it early before it became something worse. Don’t wait, get checked.

Since it's been over a decade, I'd start low and slow, indica edibles in small doses are usually more relaxing for bedtime, compared to sativas which can actually make you more alert. I had zero tolerance when I came back, so I went through Leafy DOC/ for a medical card, which gave me access to properly labeled products and actual advice from a doctor

Replacement is a big deal, but it's not as miserable as you might think. The surgery itself is straightforward if you're with someone who specializes in shoulders only. What matters most is following the post-op protocol to the letter.

I was hesitant too, but after finally doing it I realized I should've gone sooner. If you're looking for reassurance, I'd say get a consultation with this Dallas shoulder doctor who focuses solely on these surgeries, they'll lay out the risks versus the long-term benefit.

Yeah, I felt the same way. Didn’t expect much going in but it nailed that mix of tension and fun. The Cold War backdrop with the game licensing drama was way more entertaining than I thought it’d be. Taron Egerton carried it hard too, dude’s got serious range.

Feel bad for the local business guy. Feeding kids and then getting stiffed is a bad look all around.

Check out the clever fundraiser at Brusly Elementary, where they are requesting donations to take down the Alabama flag before the game. LINK
