re: Musk's Boring Co will build a passenger tunnel in NOLA for free, one of 3 winning cities

A what? Someone explain this to me like I’m 5.
These are not tunnels that are open to whoever wants to drive through them. I assume these will be the same as what they've already done in vegas. Essentially, the tunnel is a one-way loop that is wide enough/big enough to fit a single tesla going in one direction. Only the teslas can use the tunnel. People can then pay for a tesla uber to get from one "station" to another. They will likely pick a few places to have pickup/drop-off stations (superdome, harrahs, convention center, etc.).
Here's a video of the vegas loop. Youtube

Obviously a wholesale abolishment will never happen, but you should be able to opt into or out of SS. I would happily opt out tomorrow even if it means losing what I've already contributed. Phase this shite out.

This would be a great idea for a new bait car sting. Go park a Fedex truck in Memphis with the back door open. Once several yutes jump in, close the door remotely until the cops get there.

Why not pinch run for Yorke and bring in a better glove at 1B?

Step 1: Heavily cut social welfare programs that incentivize americans to sit on their couch and collect a paycheck
Step 2: Hire american workers that now need to get off their coach and actually become a contributing member of society

It's really unfathomable that some kids wouldn't enjoy waiting in hours long lines hot as hell?
Nearly every line at disney is either indoors or in the shade, and if you're waiting in hours long lines then you planned poorly. We've taken our kids in the middle of the summer (I would not recommend this) and they didn't have an issue with the heat. Of course, if the parents are acting miserable, complaining, and being short tempered with the kids, it will probably ruin the experience for everyone.

this post is absolutely outrageous
Fatties galore, $25 funnel cakes, long arse lines, central florida heat, etc. Absolutely impossible for someone to not think this is peak vacationing?
That's not what he said. It's completely reasonable for someone (i.e., adults) to not care for a trip to Disney World for some of the reasons you mentioned. It is pretty unfathomable that a kid of appropriate age would not enjoy Disney World.

Because they probably told their spouse no and she was so incessant about it they finally decided to just give in and go. I would bet that’s the situation 90% of the time
Okay. You have two choices in that scenario: 1. Stick to your guns and say no or 2. Go and put on a smile for your wife and kids so they have a good time.
Why would you willingly spend that kind of money to be a complete a-hole and make the trip miserable for everyone else?

If it's not your cup of tea, it's not your cup of tea. What I can't understand are the dads that reluctantly take their kids to Disney and bitch the entire trip about lines, money, walking, crowds, etc. then wonder why their kids didn't have a good time. Kids feed off of your energy and if you are a miserable person the entire trip, of course the kids are not going to get as much out of it.
Ironically, those kids grow up and do the same thing with their kids, and the Disney hate hate trip continues.

I will likely bring them once, reluctantly, when all of the kids are 7ish or older and will at least vaguely remember the overpriced trip we took to crowd and roller coaster land.
If you're going in with this mentality, don't bring them. It will be miserable for everyone. 99% of the people that hate Disney World made up their minds before they went that they were going to hate it. It's just confirmation bias at that point.
quote:
the very first people he talks to are Disney Adults who have a combined $170k in debt between them without a care in the world….next guy says his debt is “minimal” at $60k
I mean, that's a pretty disingenuous summary of the video. The first couple says that they only have about $1K in consumer debt. The second couple says they have $60K in debt, but $53K of that is a car loan. That's on the lower end of "bad debt" for most people. If people didn't take vacations while in any type of debt 99.9999% of people would never vacation.
I’m sorry LSU didn’t win a game that, ultimately, doesn’t mean jack shite. At the end of the year, LSU will be playing in a super regional and ULL will be watching at home from their couch. It doesn’t fricking matter. It’s a midweek game in March.

So researchers found "signs" of two earthquakes in an approximately 10 year period somewhere in the general region they believe Jesus may have been crucified?

I had that alarm clock at LSU as well ('86 - '91). For some reason, it always ran fast and gained a couple minutes every day in the South Stadium and Pentagon dorms. I always wondered if the electricity on campus ran a tad higher than 60 hz. That's the only thing I can think of that would account for the fast clocks.
This is pre-cell phones. How do you know all the other clocks weren't slow?
Start an LLC for your kid and it can be. You can also pay him/her a salary and deduct that as well.*

re: Anyone bring a 1 year old to CWS Opening Weekend in Omaha? Good?
Posted by UpToPar on 2/25/26 at 11:24 am to NeauxRegrets
It really depends on your parenting style and how much/little your kid is able to tolerate. We took our 7 month-old in 2023. There's enough to do pre-game to keep them busy, but one thing I'll say is that it can get miserably hot in that stadium, especially in the outfield. Plan accordingly. Just know that you may have to leave/change plans at any given time and likely won't get to truly enjoy the game.

They don't outgun them. Government and police officials are in on the take. That's why they turn a blind eye.
Yorke is going to lead the team in OB% and it won’t even be close.
