N.W.A. is still as relevant as ever.

They don't season their food, usually it is cooked well just no flavor. I hate that place and only went because when I lived in Baton Rouge I would frequently be given their gift cards.
re: Roth Conversions: Breakeven Tax Rate (BETR)

I just put 75% in my regular and 25% in my roth (of my retirement savings). I hope that works out for me.

For the most part any of these taxes paid locally are eligible as a credit on your state taxes. If anything this would transfer money from the local to the state.

So if the citizens voted down everything the state politicians wanted to do, who the Hell are the state politicians representing?

bumble bees are the superior pollinator, it is what you want to see. I don't see why you would want honey bees around unless they were going into your hive and providing you honey.

If you say the right words on the phone a hospital will put you straight through to the OR phone, doesn't mean you should use it.
I have a directory doctor cell phone numbers, I wouldn't dare use it for personal reasons.

I'm just going to run new tubing. It'll be easy to do on this house. Pulling out an R22 system that's been excellent for 30+ years now and I hate to take out a running system, but man the light bill is STUPID in august. Like $500 stupid, for a 1700 sq ft house.
I feel your pain. Our unit is from the 90's, but it still keeps chugging. Waiting for the attic to be sprayed, cheaper than a A/C and should be more effective at reducing bills. I am prepared to replace it, but it just keeps going.
re: Southern University takes on low graduation rates: ‘Biggest thing we’ve got to tackle
Posted by armsdealer on 2/21/26 at 6:48 pm to Scruffy
To be fair, when a large portion of your student population is just enrolled to get refund checks it is going to be hard to get decent passing rate.
To be fair, the schools are in on it. They love to load up someone with classes, get them grants and loans and take a large portion of the money and not provide any services.
Higher education would be way cheaper and way better if it wasn't subsidized how it is.
I have NO PROBLEM subsidizing those who get degrees in fields that are in demand and get degrees that add to our society, but subsidizing the lowest common denominator is a recipe for failure.

re: AVID 20 Rogue Question
Posted by armsdealer on 2/17/26 at 6:01 pm to RatherHunt
Pushing that boat with a 150 is fine, if you want to reverse in an Avid... they are just spinning tops. I even had a buddy who LIVES on the water (green jeans) pilot it before selling it to get a glass boat. He couldn't get it to behave either. It was fine, until you were in a crowded marina or the wind was up. If you had space you could get it anywhere, but if you have been to the launches down here... you know that isn't always an option.

So when I cast net off my dock in my back yard for bait or shrimp I should throw back any legal game fish. Got it.

Like any job.
Some people are better at it and want to be good and others don’t care enough to get better
They make less than a cashier, $15 an hour starting just became the norm and raises in hospitals are low to non existent.
They work early, work late, and deal with idiots day in and day out. Most of them draw better than nurses because they get more practice.
Honestly, Phlebotomist and CNA's are the worst paid positions / work ratio in a hospital, and probably compete with worst paid / work ratio for any job.

A robovac going daily will cut down dust way better and force you and your family to keep the floors clear.
Room filters do work, but even in the lab we only run them when needed, not 24/7. I am sure some places run them 24/7 but usually the fans running them are power hungry. Now the ones we have a 24X48" HEPA filters as the main filter, the ones in your house will be tiny by comparison.

Little rock is just as shitty as BR. NW Arkansas is nicer than MS gulf coast, I don't do snow+mountains so I would prefer MS gulf coast. A summer in the Ozarks is amazing.

A costco cashier makes $75k a year in less time than it takes to get a college degree, and better benefits than the vast majority of any employer.
re: There is a demographic consistently parking in handicap spots when they shouldn't..
Posted by armsdealer on 1/31/26 at 6:02 pm to southpawcock
One of the major hospitals I go to has a row in the parking garage of handicap spaces, it was always filled with security guards without tags. Someone who really needed it complained, it was fixed... for a couple of days. Magically all of the able bodied security guards got handicap hang tags... people suck.

My heart rate averages right at between 95-105 beats per minute which is on the high range. I tried to take some meds to lower it, but it made me dizzy and did nothing for the heart rate.

don't leave you can of tuna and Tylenol outside, that would attract the cat.
