Exactly. Seems like they got embarrassed because Lafayette parish went did work to help prevent a flood crisis because St Martin was either to lazy or incompetent to do it.

Say what you will about Guillory but he was proactive in getting drainage and infrastructure projects actually moving.

re: Where does Twins rank in the Lafayette king cake game?

The real story with Twins is how Gerald Greuning and Mr. Weatherall's media company created a viral marketing campaign for it.

People are acting like Twins hasn't been around forever or that they have some sort of new secret recipe, or that they're a hidden jewel or something. Nope, they got good marketing.

I was wondering why all of a sudden they had so much hype and were pumping out several thousand king cakes a day (according to their Facebook videos ) . That’s awesome for them

Was told this same thing back in January. Stopped and got one on the way to TX. Worst king cake I've ever had. They shouldn't be allowed to call it king cake. It was a donut. A big arse $70 donut. And it wasn't even a good donut.

You sure you didn’t go to Meche’s? because that sounds like exactly like Meche’s

The drawback is switching weights between exercises is slow, so I ordered another set of handles

That’s exactly what I did. It makes it more feasible to switch between sets

We got these for under $200. Go up to 100s in increments of 5s. Yes it takes way more time than a block, or a quick release adjustable DB set, but I don't care. They work great.

I got some exactly the same for my kid as a Christmas present . The newer style ones are not worth the cost to weight ratio IMO . We have enough weight in them to go up to 100 pounds each. That will last him for a while

re: TCL outdoor TV died last night

low 30s

I’m not saying that’s definitely the reason but a good chance that’s why it failed when it did .

quote:
Running an LED/LCD TV below 40°F ($<4^{\circ }C$) risks slow, "laggy" picture response, significantly reduced contrast, and potential, permanent screen damage if temperatures drop near or below freezing ($32^{\circ }F$ / $0^{\circ }C$) due to liquid crystal freezing. While storage in cold is usually okay, operating them in extreme cold can cause condensation-induced circuit failure.

Here are the specific effects and considerations for running a TV in cold conditions: Performance Issues (Below 40°F/4°C): The liquid crystal material inside the display becomes sluggish, causing ghosting, poor image quality, and slow refresh rates.Physical Damage (Near/Below 32°F/0°C): The liquid crystals can freeze. Upon thawing, the crystals may not align correctly, leading to permanent, irreparable, and often blotchy screen damage.

If the tv is still under warranty you should be able to get it covered but not if you tell them it was used outside

re: TCL outdoor TV died last night

What was the outdoor temp at the time?

LED/ LCD’s are designed to operate between 50-90 degrees F. Running it while below 50 degrees can damage the panel

One reason Sunbrite tvs are so expensive is because they have built in heating and cooling to allow the tv to operate outside of that range.

Personally I’d wait until it warms up a little then retry the tv
