LeBrun said the experience might make them think twice about going duck hunting again when there are gale warnings and freezing temperatures on the water.

Glad they're safe but hard to have sympathy for their plight given the obvious don't go weather reports for that day. I know someone who died like this, duck hunting and hypothermia, boat motor died and by himself they couldn't reach him in time.

They also endangered the deputies who rescued them.
Tried the Range dongle recently, city driving mpg dropped by almost half to 10-12 mpg. Engine seemed to run too rich at morning startup. What got me thinking is the solenoids that control the AFM system use engine oil as hydraulic fluid. If not activated for a long period they may fail. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

I’ve always done the severe service maintenance schedule, removed the Range and am rolling the dice. 2016 Sierra with only 40k miles bought new, my lightly used fishing truck, partner always wants to take his Tacoma.

I’ve seen people have good results with the Range and other devices but the sure cure is a complete delete. Expensive. Rumor is GMC is removing AFM on new engines going forward. If that happens I’ll get a new one.
A genuinely authentic, down to earth man with vast knowledge and love of Louisiana’s recreational and professional hunting and fishing activity across the State. Old school, and while no one is irreplaceable he’s close in his profession. Will be missed.
Rouses seems to be pushing to see how far they can go, a 1% or more increase every few weeks. Community coffee has doubled in price from pre covid days. Both companies privately held pushing the envelope.

Rouses King Cakes are $15.99 this year. That seems insane.

Physics for kids, I like it.

We should build more nuclear reactors for electrical grid distribution and save oil and gas for cars and trucks, and non transportation refined products.

Les Miles has lost control of the TD Bots.



This screen grab, along with several videos clearly showing what actually ocurred, appears to be more impactful than simply being arrested. His CCW legally licensed was removed by an agent before this photo.

If it's your belief this was a justified, lawful kill, then make that case.
Polished, robotic voice reading a script without pause, photos out of context like the 1930's era baseball stadium, repetitive use of photos, USCOE hydraulic engineer Chen shown as a caucasian, earth science focused YouTube site established 3 months ago.

Definitely not AI.

Do yall think the bonnet carre will be closed at 4am tomorrow morning?

Open now should remain dry tomorrow morning. The only caveat is wind driven spray on the road near the lake but appears ok overnight. You can check status before you leave at the link below, select the menu box to display cameras on the Spillway. Waze also a good source the one I use first, app or website.

re: Driving 100 mph in Older Cars

Larger ones we called Land Yachts, point it in the direction you'd like to go and eventually she'll get there. My Dad was a Chrysler man, we were rarely allowed to drive his car. Floor it from the bottom going up the Huey P bridge and watch the speedo increase while the gas gauge slowly decreases. Never got over 60 mph or so going down, scary, minimal brakes heavy car. Was bigger inside than a typical NYC apartment. Caddy's of that era too, my uncle's favorite he let us drive.

It's an extreme comparison because Greenland has no real ties to Denmark. What's best for them, US partnership or Denmark? Seems the people are ready to choose for themselves.

Iceland then Greenland were discovered by the Vikings in the 10th century, when the Danes and Norwegians were closely intertwined.

Long story short, much later Greenland became a territory of Denmark, eventually self governing except for foreign relations and defense matters assigned to Denmark.

So far, the Greenlander's are saying they wish to remain with Denmark.

We have full access to Greenland's natural resources if we want them. Greenland has complete control and say over its natural resources wholly independent of Denmark. There has been minimal interest from the US private sector in spending the billions of dollars it will take to develop and mine for those resources.

There's been limited geological and geophysical resource assessment in Greenland, mostly coastal as its center land mass is covered by 2 miles of ice. Greenland will be 80% covered by thick ice through the end of the century.

The Labrador Sea between Greenland and Canada has been exploratory drilled by the French, dry holes.

Any rare earth minerals in Greenland are likely covered in thick ice, any easily accessible have not yet been discovered, and would require smelting operations in Greenland to extract. Too expensive to cargo ship vast piles of rocks to a smelting factory outside Greenland. The process is dirty and polluting, can be greatly improved, all it takes is billions of dollars.

China has no monopoly on rare earth source rocks, they monopolize the extraction process because they don't give a frick about the pollution issues.

The moon, with very little gravity, can tug on the earths oceans and create tides. I still don't get how that's possible, with how small and far away it is.

Basically, this brief explanation which isn't broadly known. Local tidal predictions in time and amplitude for any arbitrary point on Earth are complex, but the math well known and accurate, absent wind related forcing on any given day, tidal surges an example.


You are correct that gravity is a weak force, a very interesting subject outside of Newtonian, classical physics. We don't exactly know how it works.
The DEA (CIA?) kept a small plane(s) in the air 24/7 over Medellin with sophisticated cellular tracking technology for the day listening for his phone. He made a call to his son just a bit longer than 2 minutes, the time needed to triangulate his position, location established game over.

Her frick buddy has them, ask him.
I believe Rouses privately held keeps increasing their prices a few points every couple of weeks to see where people quit buying. They recently bought Langenstein’s and will frick that up.

Dorignac’s is the closest modern equivalent to Schwegman’s, honey how’s ya doing today baby. Good store.

HEB is in a whole other class the best I’ve ever seen.
"Guerrilla Groups" were kidnapping American expat O&G executives in the late 70's into the 80's, notably Texaco's who eventually IIRC pulled out of Columbia. Drug related? Don't know, it was frequently in the news.

Which was a bummer at the time. Cartagena was a beautiful old world historic city crawling with gorgeous women.
