They took out half the sidewalk. Not going to plant anything there.
I was joking about the shrubberies. You would need a few redwoods to hide that thing.
I wonder if Entergy didn't tell them about it for fears of them trying to get a court order to stop the installation. Entergy would have absolutely won any kind ruling, but it may have caused delays.

re: Perkins Road homeowner comes home from work to huge utility pole in front of house.

Are they gonna remove the other pole and the other lower hanging lines?
They're different voltages. The typical "smaller" poles you see all over residential areas are 13.8kV-24kV. I'm not an expert with utility distribution, but I'd imagine the conductors on that big pole are at least 100kV (probably double that). Those conductors need to be farther apart from each other + higher above the ground to prevent arcing.
The homeowners would be best off trying to hide the pole by planting some shrubberies around it.

I spent way too much time playing ep1 racer. I felt it was a very underrated game.
Besides SSX, that was the last racing game I've played. I'm really tempted to get this one, as I've been looking for a game that's easy to pick up and play for an hour or two at random. I generally only play large open-world games with good stories (Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Witcher, etc), but I mostly don't feel like spending the time required to play these games anymore. I've got a pretty new projector (on a 120" screen) and a 5080 that I barely make use of, so this might be it.
re: ‘FROM’ Is Heading to Netflix US for the First Time - GO WATCH IT

This show is the absolute gold standard for dragging shite out for as long as humanly possible while barely advancing the plot over the course of an entire season.
I like the show overall, but I agree. I know that they need SOME filler and can't have crazy shite happen every episode. The biggest problem is that the filler isn't that great/interesting, and the acting (while improved since S1) mostly sucks.
It's actually very similar to Pluribus in terms of loads of filler between major events. The difference is that Pluribus has one of the best showrunners/directors, and TV actress in the business. The filler parts are entertaining and nice to look at. I'll happily rewatch S1 of Pluribus when S2 comes out in 2035. But for From, I'm just going to watch a ~10 minute recap when it starts back up.
re: Concerning stat for Shough: 6.3 YPA

After week 2 (I know that's a short timeframe), Shough was the best deep passer in the league. I think that he had a perfect QB rating.
The OL, lack of running game, and coaching is killing him. And as mentioned a few times in this thread, that can cause some bad habits long-term.

Someone needs to investigate this. Preferably someone from the DC/Maryland/Virginia areas.
Cincy's Union Terminal:

Olave is protected because of his head injuries. They're not going to run him over the middle of the field, so he is left running routes by the sideline. Defenses know this. If you have to call plays so a player doesn't get injured, there's a problem.
He has a very limited route tree and teams are aware of it, but he's still putting up 107 yards/game?
Seeing Ron vomiting profusely while begging the people around him to call an ambulance is probably the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. Top tier show. I remember the 3rd season (from less than ~5 years ago) was solid, but not on the level of S1/2.

How long ago was that one? Does not ring a bell.
-Icemaker in my freezer wasn't working. Youtube videos knew what was up. Needed to clear the freezer, take off the back panel, and break up some ice that had accumulated.
-Had nonstop light dripping from a showerhead, regardless of how tightly I twisted the knobs. Turns out the washers behind the knobs had deteriorated over time. Fairly easy fix, but I needed to get a tool to pull the knobs off as they were stuck to the piping/whatever it's called, and were impossible to remove by hand unless you're prime Schwarzenegger. My other shower just started to have the same issue, so I'll be doing it again soon. Excluding the knob removal tool (~$10), it only costs about $5 of materials + 20 minutes of time.

I’m still not sure how a 12V battery is connected to a security system that is plugged into a 120V wall outlet, but all I know is it’s fixed and I felt like I could solve all the world’s problems after that.
I'm an electrical engineer with experience designing large scale multi-family condos, commercial, educational, industrial, and hospitals. I've designed operating rooms. Unless you've improperly described the issue, then I can't figure it out either. This is probably going to bother me for weeks until I convince myself that you're wrong about something.

If it didnt happen after the Rams no call it will never happen.
I took a ~5 year break after that one, only casually watching 1-3 games per season when I had family over. But here I am, back at the NFL teat after being excited with what I saw from Shough over 2-3 games last season. I can definitely say that it's not nearly the same level of fandom, though. I'm pulling for the Saints, but I used to be pissed for days after every major loss.

Anemic pass protection is going to hurt the Saints for the rest of the season.
The good news for the Saints is that the problems are mostly on the right side of the OL. Richards did fairly well replacing banks, but looking to the future:
Banks/Edwards/McCoy are OK.
RG Ruiz fricking sucks, and RT Fuaga has shown flashes but not looking great generally.
We've obviously been iffy with our OL draft picks, but if we want to fill those positions in free agency, those are cheaper/easier to find than the left side. Just don't tard out and give Ruiz/Fuaga a big extension like we did with Peat.
If the Saints are looking like they've got a good chance at winning the division before the trade deadline, I'd hope that they'd look into trading for a competent RG from a tanking team. That may legit help Fuaga.
Their fans have been ghetto as frick since the mid 80's at least.
I seriously think that Boyz N the Hood both represented the ghetto fans, and also brought in more:

There was pressure up the middle, Shough was backpedalling, threw it 35+ yards off of his back foot, and it landed in the absolute perfect location for Vele to catch the ball. The defender made a great play on it, but I wish Vele had tried turning around and catching the ball higher. That would have eliminated the chance of getting YAC, but made it more likely that he would get the catch, and also increased the chances that he'd draw a PI, since the defender definitely wasn't looking back at the ball.
