re: 26 Years Ago Today, Monster F5 Tornado in OK
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 5/3/25 at 8:51 pm
‘99 was a rough year, the Moore monster happened just 1 month after an F-4 killed 7 and injured 102 in Caddo and Bossier Parishes, areas off Benton Road were wiped out.

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
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.

But be a working class American and get hurt and disabled, you’ll be denied at least 3-4 times for disability that YOU paid in and may never get it or have to pay an attorney thousands of dollars to force them to pay you.
re: Trump has eliminated gender ideology from the federal government

Now they need to require major companies that receive grants, loans or subsidies from the federal government to also purge gender favoritism and wording from their companies policies.

re: Trump says he’s canceling windmills and solar fields

What President Trump probably means is that the government will stop paying for them. If you look into all the green energy that has been put in, it was almost all subsidized by government funding and wouldn’t exist without that funding.
They probably won’t be prohibited but they’ll have to be financed by someone besides the government. Hopefully he will expect someone to look into why one company has gotten almost all the billions of dollars that have been given away, Invenergy, whose founder and CEO, Michael Polsky, is Ukrainian born and Blackstone has ownership in the company,
Invenergy has ties to multiple “Green” companies and is a main recipient of tax payer funded subsidies.

They’ll probably run 96” pipelines and draw water from the Ouchita River, it’s fairly clean and needs less filtration and chemicals. Probably discharge into the Mississippi, it most likely allows more turbidity and higher discharge temperatures at the outfall.
Pretty sure the water permits are already in process, so state EPA and others will have that information soon.
A 1500MW combined cycle power plant and other cooling water needs would almost have to require large streams for their supply and discharge, underground aquifers which supply farmers wells and city water supply would be depleted pretty quickly with the GPM those new facilities will need.

re: Solar leasing options
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 12/3/24 at 9:21 pm
Could you or a family member stop by one of the solar farms being built? They could probably tell you who to contact if you have land you’d like to lease.
Don’t know if you or your relatives have heard but Entergy is proposing building a 1500 MW plant just east of Monroe in Holly Ridge to supply power for a 5 billion dollar data center that Meta plans to build there, some of the solar farms might be building in anticipation of that major project to supply what they call green power. If it all happens, that area that has been needing jobs may be a hopping place.
But previous postings I’ve seen on this board from South La and Texas indicate that you should definitely get an attorney that has dealt with solar leases before you commit to anything.

re: Earliest ‘Jesus is God’ inscription found
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 11/20/24 at 8:34 pm
1 John:5 covers the topic pretty well and 1 John 5:7 says specifically, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
This verse cross ties with John 1:1 and is confirmed again in Revelation 19:13 where the returning Jesus is clothed in a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.

We stopped buying high priced models and our last 6 have been High sense Roku,55”, 58” and 65”, both 55” under $275, 65” for $279. Clear, work great. Light weight for hanging,1 Roku remote controls it all. We have them in living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and the enclosed back deck, all work great.
re: PSA: Get that dad-blasted colonoscopy
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 9/12/24 at 11:13 pm
Good reminder! This and prostate checks are 2 things that some guys just seem to avoid. I’ve been getting them for 14 years now and no problems so far but I have cancer in my family so not gonna risk it.
I’ve had two friends older than me that both delayed colonoscopy and both regret it, one had stage 4 colon cancer about the size of a softball removed, took chemo and all kind of meds for over 2 years, it flared back up and spread unfortunately we lost him a few days ago.
The other friend is still hanging on, his is rectal so a hard fight to just keep existing.
Doctors said both would have probably been caught if they had regular scope test, neither had a colonoscopy in over 10 years,
So if you think you’d rather die, you may sure get your chance.

re: Credit Freeze - children
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 8/22/24 at 6:42 pm
Everyone should freeze their credit is the right answer. We learned this after our personal information was stolen and attempts were made by the thieves to get credit cards.
Having Lifelock or any other company monitoring your credit is definitely not enough, all they will do is tell you your credit was breached after it’s too late.
Call all 3 credit bureaus and lock your credit, otherwise it is susceptible to being stolen by someone else.
I’m not sure how they would handle your children’s credit but they can tell you.

Not sure what your budget is but .308 is a great Do It All caliber with bullet choices from 100 grain to 220 grain and the Ruger American is a good gun for the money, you can get one with a Vortex Crossfire scope for about $760 at Academy, not the most high end set up but one I’d have no problem using myself.
You might consider the Savage 110 Apex Storm Stainless with Vortex Crossfire for $780 or if you want to spend a little more the Howa 1500 Standard or Synthetic stock and threaded barrel cost $650 and has a 1 MOA guarantee, Weatherby Vanguard Badlands for $770 and the Tikka TX3 lite is about $800. Any of those would be great guns and you can top it with a Leupold VX Freedom or VX-3 in your price range and you’d be set for the rest of your life.

A friend of mine just bough an ATA CY Super Magnum 3-1/2” from Academy for less than $500, it’s really nice looking and handles well, it’s shot everything we’ve tried in it down to 1 oz, 1200 fps shells.
He also picked up the ATA CY for his son for about $420 after taxes, it’s the same gun Weatherby used to sell as the Weatherby SA-08, very light, swings easy and shoots good but does have a shorter length of pull than other guns I’ve shot.
After seeing his guns I did a good bit of research on them and I’m gonna try the ATA Neo X, it’s the same gun as the Weatherby Element but about $200-250 less expensive and I know 2 guys that love the Element.

It takes a lot of idiots to clean up that much spontaneous defecation. Lots of wiping, deodorizing, pant and Depends changing, lots of germ filled, humiliating work but at $107,000 a year apparently 565 people are willing to make that sacrifice.
re: Gentrified NOLA neighborhood close to FQ or Upper Middle Class Shreveport neighborhood
Posted by HighlyFavoredTiger on 7/6/24 at 1:38 pm
I’ve lived south of New Orleans but it was pre-Katrina and still a relatively safe and attractive place to live near and visit often, it not that anymore and I don’t go there anymore.
We never planned to move back to Shreveport but due to job transfer we are there and after deciding to not build in Bossier City our realtor recommended a house in the subdivision that includes the house you showed, we were reluctant because of the dangerous reputation that the hoods have created but we have been pleasantly surprised, especially with the neighborhood itself.
Unfortunately most Louisiana cities that are governed like Shreveport and New Orleans have developed crime problems and lost their attraction for new citizens, the area in Southeast Shreveport that includes Brunswick Place, Azalea Gardens and westward back towards Sothern Trace and Provenance are the only places in Shreveport I would consider living.
Otherwise, look at north Bossier, Benton, communities along Airline Drive and Benton Rd and eastward towards Stonebridge and Provident Oaks. Be diligent about checking flood zone maps on any homes in Bossier City or Southeast Shreveport.
