re: What steel toes are you baws wearing?
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 11/13/25 at 1:58 pm to jake wade
+1 on the Timberland Pro, I wore those the last 10 or more years of industrial plant work, I got them a half to full size larger than my size and put a pair of SpencoPolysorb sports cushion insoles in them, could wear them 12-16 hours without foot pain.
re: Nuclear power will get the most DOE loans
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 11/10/25 at 6:24 pm to Swamp puppy
Great stats and facts, when I see electric production mentioned on here I always see a lot of votes for nuclear and I understand the thought process. But what you posted is the fact process and is what actually happened on the last large scale nuclear in America; it almost financially broke one of the largest, most aggressive power companies in the nation, Southern Company.
If you consider timeframe from permitting to completion, our power needs can’t wait 16-17 years for nuclear units to be built and companies have to be cautious committing to building because political landscape changes every 4 years. Maybe modular nuclear or something smaller scale but with all the government regulations and overreach, just saying build nuclear is much harder and longer range than many people realize.

re: What politician is brave enough to fix SNAP?
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 11/9/25 at 8:14 pm to LSUROXS
SNAP and other give away programs can’t be fixed at this point, multiple generations have grown to expect it and it’s been too easy to abuse and manipulate. Government programs have become a tool and a weapon and politicians and media will never accept what it would take to correct the system.
re: Personal Injury Attorney Fee Structure

It wasn’t a 49% contract, it was a contract to be represented and they would never talk about money or amounts or possible maybes or anything. They drug it out for 3 years, mainly because they were working on another case that ended hugely and instead of saying they didn’t really want the case or have time for it, they strung it out for 3 years, finally admitted that they couldn’t finish the case because it was in another state, so they had to bring in a lawyer from that state to help bring them to an offer.
I saw my friends final run down from his team of lawyers, they had added cost from subject matter experts, photographers, administrative workers, other lawyers, damn near everyone but their janitor, copies of this and that, you name it, I can tell you for a fact, the final offer was $1.45 million and my friend got $752 thou and the lawyers took $689 thou., period. That’s close enough to 49%.

I know someone that was broad sided by a big truck, their lawyers took 3 years to settle the case, they also got another lawyer from out of state involved, ended up settling out of court with trucking companies lawyers, amount of insurance was 1.45 million, attorneys took exactly 49%. My friend got inured for life and screwed over by their attorneys.
re: NIL changed everything
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 10/27/25 at 10:04 am to Flyingtiger82
Definitely a big factor, that and throwing $70-80-100 MILLION booster club dollars at every next new coaching candidate, sooner or later the outrageous salary escalation has to stop and incentives to win and graduate players has to take precedence. Raise them and pay them after they prove they are worthy of the LSU coaching job.

It’s crazy how much harm the NIL bulls*it is causing, makes players like Nuss not have to have the desire and fire that QBs used to have to display, they get paid whether they’re good or not

re: Anyone deal with plantar fasciitis pain?
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 10/18/25 at 6:12 pm to Relham10
Had it in right foot once, lasted several years and I tried any and every kind of shoe I could find to try to help it. Finally happened up on Hoka Bondi 6, started wearing them and got a pair of Hoka slides to wear on floors in the house, within 6 months the pain was gone. But I literally can’t wear any other shoes more than a couple hours without my foot hurting. So I wear Hoka shoes everywhere that doesn’t require formal dress shoes.

All someone has to do is go to Dallas, Arlington, Irving, Grapevine, Plano and other Dallas metro areas, open their eyes and pay attention to other people you pass at stores, restaurants, hospitals, etc…it’s unbelievable how many people of India origin live there. You almost feel like YOU are in a foreign country,

Hopefully Trump’s team can look into and follow the money trail to the companies that have previously gotten so much of the government funding. If they do, they’ll find that Invenergy has received billions of dollars through their main company and multiple spin offs, they’ll also find that the mastermind of Invenergy, Michael Polsky, is a native of Ukraine; just a random coincidence probably.

re: Where is everyone getting their ammo these days?

It’s legit, you won’t get gotten, they stay very busy but they post info letting buyers know if there are slight delays in shipping.

I’m in agreement with the SGAmmo responses. They have been my online go to for factory ammo for several years, Sam Gabbert and his crew are real good at ammo.
Wouldn’t hesitate to consider Midsouth Shooters Supply, MidwayUSA, Natchez Shooting & Outdoors, Powder Valley Outdoors, I’ve ordered alot of loading components from all these and all had good service, I expect they’d be good with factory ammo also; shop prices because most are usually higher than SGAmmo.

re: Any USAA policy holders noticed a decline in customer service?
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 6/10/25 at 10:20 pm to George Dickel
We’ve had them for over 20 years and have definitely experienced negative change in the customer service response lines. They go through all the animated voice asking 15 mins of questions and when you finally get to a representative, the first one you try very rarely can answer your questions, they have to put you on hold and apparently go ask someone who knows more than they do, Its backs and forth like that for 20, 30 sometimes 45 mins and what you called for often doesn’t get resolved.
Had a nightmarish circumstance with them just 6 months ago, my wife’s mom died and wife was handling closing out her various accounts. She called USAA to cancel her mom’s policy, it seemed like it went fine, then 17 days later wife and I get a notification from Baton Rouge saying OUR insurance had been cancelled and our licenses were locked and flagged on the state wide website. It took 2 weeks and several hours of work, phone calls and trips to the DMV to keep from paying fines and get our licenses unflagged. All because a mistake a USAA representative made when my wife called, they cancelled our policy and her moms.

Every power plant that has been built in the last 20 years has faced this kind of stupidity, it’s folks like Sierra Club and other paid grifters much like the van loads of thugs that were transported from city to city to protest, burn buildings and throw bricks.
They will get loud and stay loud until someone makes behind the scene payments to shut them up and make them go on to there next protest.

re: Germany demolishes their newest coal-fired power plant. Only 6 yrs old.
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 3/25/25 at 8:13 pm to Night Vision
While it’s understandable to question and ridicule Germany for demolishing a large 6 year old coal burning power plant, American citizens need to look in the mirror before we get too critical of others.
POWER magazine reported in February of this year that 780 coal burners have been shut down in America since 2000 and you can be assured that many of those had 10 to 20 more years of life ahead of them and we are on course to close half of the coal burners that still exist in America by 2026.
This continues to destabilize the nation’s power grid and needs to be reconsidered by the current administration, realistically Germany and the rest of the world are probably laughing at us for shutting down generation that is powered by our most abundant resource.
