That was my dad’s freshman year at LSU. (Also his only semester because he met my mom that year) Almost 4 more years for me to enter the picture.

I'm a manager for a HVAC/Plumbing company. We give written estimates and the client signs them. If we miscalculated labor or materials that's on us. Once both parties agreed to the price it's a done deal.

This. The job is either a fixed cost or a time and material quote Most of the time it’s fixed cost. If more scope is discovered you talk to customer and discuss a fixed cost for the additional scope.

If a service call to do something like unclog a line they should give you the hourly rate. If the blockage required an excavation then they should come to you with a contract to sign for additional work

archer got the nod at the recommendation of Arnsbarger, but really was a no name at the time as well..

quote:
Archer was named head coach at just 34 years old, making him the youngest major college football head coach in the country at the time

LSU in that time frame was cheap when it came to hiring coaches

Bo Rein - $50k
Jerry Stovall - $42k
Bill Arnsparger - $80k
Mike Archer - $88.4k
Curley Hallman - $90k
Gerry Dinardo - $95k

Nick Saban - $2.3M

re: Kia slowly says ‘Nope, I’m out’

story gets even better:

quote:
An employee at a business across the street separately confirmed that a vehicle went into the ditch and told us the situation reportedly began after a squirrel got inside the Kia. The employee indicated that the woman got out of the vehicle while trying to deal with the animal before the Kia began rolling. The employee asked not to be identified, and we have not independently confirmed that account with police or the driver.

i was cheering for the AU DB to return the ball for a DT on the last INT i was so pissed.....

but if we hire Spurrier instead of Archer, Curley never happens.....

LSU picked Mike Archer (the current DC) over Steve Spurrier.........

that one decision resulted in a Black decade in Baton Rouge..... Archer/Currly/DiNardo.....

re: Judge Temporarily Blocks Mamdani’s Pied-à-Terre Tax

Posted by tigeraddict on 8/11/26 at 7:34 am to Wildcat1996

It was an issue in implementing the tax plan. Not the plan itself that was contested.

They sent out letters stating you owe the tax and put the onus o. The homeowner to prove they lived in the tax.

Judge said there were easy ways the government could determine if the house was a primary house based on Tax filings.

Judge said onus was on government to do due diligence before sending out tax bills.

This will just delay the tax not end it.

NY is still screwed.

re: New Orleans is losing over 70% of its water supply due to leaks

Posted by tigeraddict on 8/10/26 at 4:41 pm to Cycledude

New Orleans also uses a "left handed" thread water valve as their standard.

but AWWA allows for leakage in the testing of a water main:

quote:
Specialized AWWA Leak StandardsValves and Gates (e.g., AWWA C561): Specifies maximum allowable seat/seal leakage limits for infrastructure like slide gates, typically restricted to a threshold of 0.10 gallons per minute per foot (gpm/ft) of the wetted sealing perimeter under design head pressure.

re: Tulsa little league DQd from tournament

Posted by tigeraddict on 8/10/26 at 1:24 pm to geaux1996

Oklahoman News

quote:
Three Southwest Regional Tournament participants asked the league to investigate “whether Tulsa National Little League operated its entire 2026 baseball program in compliance with Little League Regulations, Playing Rules, Operating Policies, Charter Requirements and Player Eligibility Requirements required for International tournament eligibility,”

The complaint accuses Tulsa National of violating the sibling participation regulation II(a)(1), league eligibility, pitching more than one game in a day regulation VI(k), and completing a game Rule 4.10(c)(2).

so, it doesnt look like the age of a player was at issue
