The Brits don’t use that flag, the English do. The reason the English use that flag is because it’s their country’s actual flag.

Thanks, I was about to post that I remember it being an issue in Nebraska, because they were dropping off teenagers.

While the event’s popularity can’t be argued, experts are hesitant to declare the World Cup a total and complete economic success for the cities that played host to the tournament.

“The tally is still to be done,” said Robert Baade, an economics professor at Lake Forest College. “We're nowhere near the point where we can say, in any kind of meaningful scientific way, that this has been a rousing success.”

Some cities were more successful than others

My AC is on 80 when I'm not at home, 72 when I'm home. It's been rough. I had a window unit in my shed to use in case of power outages. I put that in my bedroom and at night I have the central AC thermostat at 80 and run the window unit

We did the same when it was just us left in the house. Bought a window unit put in our bedroom with a couple fans, turned the central A/C off.

We wouldn’t run the central A/C until an hour before we got home from work and turn it off at bedtime.

It was a smart political move by Landry, his poll numbers are way upside down. So this will help him with his base, and no one on New Orleans is voting for him anyway.

The school I worked at, first bus stop was 5:55, school opens at 7:15. That’s not happening with Day light saving time in the winter.

If this passes, schools will be pushing their start times back.

Darn, I wonder if there is now a market for similar NIL ending injuries?

Yes but it’s now the other way around. Arkansas Coach John Calipari took out insurance policies on his players in case they got hurt the school would be reimbursed NIL money.
