I am an amateur watchmaker (pic of my bench below)
Not bad (I'm jealous), this is my small little piece of heaven I have tucked away in a corner. (Not including my cleaning machine, many shelves of tools, and multiple solvents in the garage).

The bold portion from an objective/statistical POV is total bullshite.
And I completely agree with this.. As I said in my post on the first page, Rolex watches/movements are some of the best from a watchmaker standpoint to work on. And when done properly, Rolex will keep better time then almost every other mechanical watch out there.

I have been a watchmaking hobbiest for some time now and love Rolex for how well built they are and how easy they are to work on. With that being said, I would never pay that price for one. There are so many great watches out there for half of what a Rolex costs and can be bought our right without the bullshite games that are played by the Rolex ADs.
The Omega, Grand Seiko, Longines..etc are all amazing options and easily available. Yes, these brands have extremely high priced watches as well, but there are many options that are really nice that won't break the bank.
If I were to ever spend that type of money on a watch, I would honestly look at the RGM watch company 801-E. Every part of the RGM watches are handmade from the dial right down to the screws. That type of craftsmanship and quality is rare to find nowadays.

Am I an idiot for not giving some out of state numbnuts the full backstory?
No, you're an idiot for assuming everyone on here knows what you're talking about. You need to realize that not everyone on here lives in New Orleans or the immediate surrounding area. A little context can go a long way.

Does anybody here know wtf the OP is talking about?
Yes, the OP is an idiot. With that being said, he is talking about a case in New Orleans where personal injury lawyers were paying people to crash with 18 wheelers. One of the suspects turned on the others and was working with the feds and ended up getting killed by the others.
It was spot on.. except for the Frankie and Johnny commercial. They couldn't find an old black dude to be Johnny?

Had a 2019 Expedition and had the cam phaser issues as well. The recall thankfully covered it.

Go get a job with an NFL team as a scout or in the front office, since it's so easy
Nobody said it was easy but how can you dismiss that the guy has a HUGE injury issue and has not played a single complete season since high school? Did they expect that just because he is changing from college to the NFL that anything would be different? You don't have to be a pro scout to see the damn elephant in the room on this dude. And with that huge of an issue, was it worth taking the gamble on him with the 1st round pick? Time will only tell but seeing as how it only took a handful of practices and zero games for this to already happen, its crazy not to be questioning what the Saints were thinking. Especially with our history of making bone-head draft decisions.

The neighborhoods around it had been going downhill, and when Katrina hit they all liberated merchandise from the mall.
The End
No.. The neighborhoods around it with the exception of Lincoln Manor are just fine. The problem after Katrina is that there was a huge influx of "people" from the New Orleans area. The mall chose to cater to them by opening stores that the locals would not shop at causing the locals to move on to Lakeside instead. The people they catered to obviously just went to the mall to hang out and steal, not spend money. Therefore, Lakeside has thrived and the Esplanade inevitably shut down.
Sadly, in Baton Rouge the mall of Louisiana appears to be suffering the same type of fate with people just there to hang out and cause problems.

No, 70% of us could easily see what the pros obviously did not or chose to ignore, and that is the disturbing part.

Hey, just because he has never played a full college season doesn't mean his NFL career will be the same. Right??..lol

You can say that but we used the 1st pick on a guy who has never completed an entire college season because he has been injured every year. There comes a point when you have to use common sense when making these picks and realize that even though he is extremely talented, the injury history is a major red flag and should be highly considered.
Its just a damn shame that you have 70% of message board users seeing these red flags that the people who get paid grotesque amounts of money seem to ignore until it comes back to bite them in the arse.

How many games does he actually play for the Saints
Well, at least we know by week 6 the answer to this question will be zero.
Picking a guy with the 1st pick who did not complete a whole season in any of his college years was a joke.

You are way behind on this topic. The great zombie manifesto has already been done. It was one of the most epic threads on this board.

I have ridge vents. Looked into getting a whirl bird as well but was looking at all the options to see which would be best.

Copper pipe absorbs & transfers heat faster than PEX - not sure why you think that is making a difference.
I have no idea about any of it. I just know my old house had copper and didn't have these issues and this new house has PEX, and it comes out hot. I was just assuming it was because of the PEX from things I've read online, but generally I'm talking out of my arse when it comes to this since I have zero experience with plumbing.
Radiant barrier in attic
Posted by Tygerfan on 7/29/26 at 10:41 am
Has anyone here had the foil radiant barrier installed in their attic and did it help?
Right now my attic is extremely hot and the AC is struggling throughout the day. Furthermore, my dumb arse contractor used PEX piping instead of copper when my house was built and I didn't know any better at the time to stop it. Now during the summer, devils piss comes out of the "cold" water spout of my faucets because the attic is heating up the pipes.
