A lot of this is anecdotal bullshite. Despite persistent claims to the contrary, houses and cars are way better than they used to be.


You have never remodeled a 1950s house if you think this. My trim was put together with 12 gauge nails.

That's true. In addition, many products have been made needlessly complex in nature and difficult to repair in part to prevent you and me from being able to make do or fix it ourself.


My lightbulb moment was in senior design class at LSU. Professor was reviewing our project and told us flat out you need to engineer it to fail or you will get one sale.

We weren’t making money on our Senior design to begin with but his point still resonates with me today. Nothing in today’s world is actually designed to last but most of it could have been for minimum cost. Corporations will never let it happen.

Why would our very first SEC game concern us? We’ve watched a baseball game before.


Yea. Just the first SEC game.

Can someone go shove a bat down this mother frickers throat
If this game doesn’t concern you I’m not sure what to tell you.

We will never again have 3 past balls go for runs.

You can appreciate the comeback but also show some concern.
Damn Corbin. Just gonna ride this guy?

He was so far out in front of that ball and caught the barrel.

Holy crap. What was caraway doing?

As a side note, it's always funny to me when I hear someone threaten a business with "calling the BBB" like that should scare them.


Worked for me when a dealership screwed up some paperwork which destroyed my wife's credit score. Then they refused to quickly rectify their mistakes.

The paperwork they needed was in storage down the road and they said it may take a month to get it. BBB threat and they had it the next day.

I don't disagree. If there was the political will to do so, it could happen but such a tremendous amount of political will (especially if it needs to be sustained for years) simply doesn't exist here.



No amount of political will is going to create a loop that cuts through Kenilworth, runs over Perkins Rowe, Intersects I10 at Siegen, cuts through Womens Hospital, Runs through Shenandoah, just to tie in to I-12 at Livingston. That isn't even a remotely realistic option.

I was there. Easily over 30 shots and very clearly an automatic weapon. I’ve been around guns my entire life. There were 5-7 bursts over about a 45 second period. I was in the back and thought it was pretty obvious that it was coming from across Gardere but apparently someone in the front of park started screaming that the gunman was in the park and that caused everyone to start running.


I was there as well and witnessed the panic. Lots of shots but it was not automatic. I guarantee it is on one of the GameChanger videos.
