There are different types of programmable keys.

That's been my experience trying to call as well. I got an email and no call with the tracking info as my "resolved" response.

Postal employees ae complaining on YouTube videos that their current contract sucks.
They need to fire the entire staff at the Baton Rouge Regional Sorting Facility. I've had one package sitting there for 14 days and another for 9 days (lately seems like packages usually sit there 3-4 days but sometimes fly right through) I submitted help requests and they marked them solved telling me tracking showed they had arrived at the sorting facility. No shite they arrived, the whole point of the request was because they're still there several days later lol

I hope they close the Washington St Eastbound On-Ramp Too. So many times the people getting on there force their way into traffic instead of yielding like they're supposed to nearly causing wrecks.

There should be a law that Southern Law graduates should not be allowed to be judges.
Their bar passage rates already work towards that goal. (Have to be an admitted attorney ten years to be eligible to run and hold office as a judge)

Professor Baier was a trip.
He took our Advanced Appellate Advocacy Seminar class to see arguments before the La. Supreme Court (he had both sides of the case previously come argue their side against a student earlier in the semester) and bought us all a round of Pimm's Cups at Napoleon House afterwards.

Just saw the Internet and cable tax increase is apparently buried in Act 11.

The usual next step is for the guy in the left lane refusing to get back over after he passes because he will eventually overtake the truck ahead in the right lane, so regular moving traffic gets backed up for miles.

The Parish is legally obligated to fund most of the reasonable expenses of the DA.
Why should the public pay more taxes and free up parish monies for them to waste elsewhere?

re: Louisiana baws, how did y'all vote on that ballot measure?
Posted by LSULaw2009 on 11/7/24 at 9:02 pm
I voted against it. The legislature should do what they're elected to do and appropriate money properly, based on the States short term and long-term needs. A lot of our State's budget issues come from constitutional and statutory dedications giving no leeway to address fiscal issues that arise other than the usual cuts to the unprotected areas (healthcare and education).
We passed laws to undedicate monies in 1988 to address the State's fiscal crisis, and have spent the time since dedicating monies left and right. It's like they never learn their lesson.

The government is already paying for tap water
Water is a utility that users pay for. It is usually a revenue producing utility for government. The problem is that many systems are on the verge of failing because the government takes those monies and spends it on other government programs and expenditures rather than upkeep and maintenance of the water systems ( sewer systems too).
For Louisiana in particular, it's a huge problem in rural areas (also many other places with aging systems and loss of tax base). It's why the State created the Water Sector program and implemented the grading system for water systems. The law now prohibits failing systems from taking utility proceeds and using them for anything other than on the utility system.
A lot of the US water system, as with its electric infrastructure and bridges and roadways are in a bad spot because the government (Federal, state, and local) for decades didn't use money wisely to keep them maintained and upgraded. The infrastructure is starting to age out and fail in a lot of places. Further, many governments aren't learning the lesson and maintaining new infrastructure appropriately either.
That all said, I agree welfare, food stamps, etc all need reforms. We need more hand ups than handouts.
re: Ipad Air vs reMarkable for note taking
Posted by LSULaw2009 on 7/10/24 at 12:46 pm
As an iPad pro and Supernote user, I would probably use the iPad if I were doing classes these days. Easier to access more stuff and apps like Notability which let you take notes and record audio (lecture) so they're synced for later studying.
