Thoth Captain Penny Larsen told riders that NOPD found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing, no officer witnessed the alleged incident and no action would be taken against the float.


Ok, the the NOPD screwed up. They should cover all the expenses of every member on that float for this year.

I've heard this to happen in Miami quite a bit - younger guys can't compete with the older dudes with money, so they put an age restriction on entry.
24, my wife’s family used to be adamant on driving overnight to Disney World for Disney trips (to beat the traffic). After the third time doing it, I got sick again with sore throat on day two and three of the trip and I told her I’m never driving overnight again, and don’t ask… I need my sleep. Lack of sleep is a recipe for me to get sick real fast.
I’ve had a ton of quality control issues with my model X, (in the shop a ton), but I still have it because I use the full self driving so much and I’ve gotten very used to it. It is way safer than me driving.

Great for a show and/fun fun weekend with friends. I used to like gambling and playing blackjack, but the casino comps these days absolutely suck, they do not comp really anyone playing table games since they want you to play slot machines.

One of the best scenes in Narcos was when some worker thought Pablo was dead, and told a room full of men they didn’t have to pay Pablo anymore.


Pablo then walked in… the tension in that scene was off the charts.

I think it’s way more pathetic when a guy tries everything to the last possible option to hide going bald


Speak for yourself; I’ve been taking finasteride and rogaine.for four years and almost all my hair has grown back on my head.
If you listen to radio, there are repetitive laundry detergent commercials, which cycle in and out every other day, - some woman screaming about rinsing out her clothes. Makes me change the channel to be honest.

1000% accurate. I despise that site, I only go there maybe once a year to make sure my profile is accurate. The so-called influencers on there in various professions act like they know everyone in the industry because they get linked-in likes. The Cringe ones are some defense lawyers.

Yep, you can order the sentricon sticks on Ebay. I did that and bought an auger bit to put on my drill. I installed all 12 sentricon sticks around the home in an hour.

re: Cox vs AT&T Fiber in NOLA

Fiber with the force of 1000 Suns! Cox is awful.
Everytime I post a job ad for our business, I get flooded with people trying to leave medical billing. I would absolutely welcome the entire collapse of the American healthcare system and all the crappy jobs that come with it. And, If I pay for insurance, I pay NOTHING else for procedures/prescriptions.

That game was the most hard hitting game I ever saw; 2003 LSU v. Ole Miss. Both these teams wanted that game so bad, and without LSU winning, we don't win the title that year.

Seems like ozempic and these shots have killed the bariatric stomach stapling surgery business. I heard that from an anesthesiologist.
All of these are nothing more than “The Opt Out Bowl”. Not watching

Until it takes your job, friend of mine was an app developer for years. Lost his job a few months ago due to AI.

Yep- every serious runner has taken an explosive poo in the trees/garden/behind a building at some point in their careers.

Maybe a couple of Baja blasts could help blast out the crunchwraps every 5 miles.
There were some really bad Wagoneers (lemons) produced in the past few years. I know 2 people who bought them and forced a return.

Eventually, Amway shifted online in the early 00's to something called Quixtar


I got pulled into a Quixtar intro meeting while my sophomore year at LSU by a "friend". I remember them saying that it was not Amway!; and if you only paid the $80.00 signup fee, you would have your own immediate business.

I didn't pay it nor did I ever talk to those people again.
