Chicken needs to produce and stream a TD Rough N' Rowdy to settle these kinds of things.

Don't worry class of 2026, 50-year mortgages and 15-year auto loans are on the way.

T-Coons would be very accommodating if you gave them a heads up. Don't really need to give them a heads up, but they could maybe get y'all set-up ahead of time.

Lafayette Travel: Events
Lafayette Comedy
Downtown Events
Heymann Center Events
Links above for scouting things to do.
With the weather getting nice, could make your own food & drink crawl downtown out of the following places:
Wild Child Wine/Tsunami/Pamplona/Central/Spoonbill/Minami/Vestal/Tons/Reve/Hideaway at Lee
End the night at Hideaway and Blue Moon, usually have good music at one of those two.

My guy, there's entire generations of people out here that can't and won't cook for themselves. Go ahead and charge $17 for an egg sandwich. I mean the average new car price is $50,000 and Americans are still buying them.
I don't know when the American consumer is going to start being more frugal, but I'm not seeing it yet.
Disclaimer: I'm not paying $17 for an egg sandwich or $50,000 for a SUV.
re: Instant coffee is better than drip?
Posted by Baers Foot on 10/17/25 at 4:10 pm to DesScorp
I do drip coffee with whole beans ground fresh at home, but instant coffee at work. Instant coffee is better than the coffee provided in the office.
I like the Supreme Bustelo instant I've only found in Target.

I think we’re reaching the saturation point of drone usage. This makes zero sense. Also, I like how it’s pressure washing over the vines that have been there for a decade.
I believe this company was used to clean the Cajundome roof in Lafayette, and they did it for much cheaper than the traditional way.

Question for resident OT weather experts:
Is that entire wall cloud reaching the ground as a giant tornado? Or is what's pictured a wall cloud, and there's a smaller (relatively speaking obviously) tornado underneath which can't be seen in the picture?
ETA: never mind, I see TBoat's reply above me

Full sun in Louisiana is rough.
From your list: I have nandinas, drift and oso easy roses, and shi shi camelias. All have done well under normal conditions. I lost my first set of drift roses to the brutal summer/drought last year, didn't keep up with watering.
I'd also recommend irises, fox tails, agapanthus, and groundcover juniper.
For trees, I'd roll with sweetbay magnolia or little gem/teddy bear magnolia.

Lol. How do you think our politicians attracted META (etc.) to build data centers here? Tax exemptions and tax rebates. LINK
Louisiana citizens will be on the hook for higher energy bills with no true benefit. The benefit sold is 300-500 jobs created. Those figures are undoubtedly mostly temporary construction workers, with data centers only needing anywhere from 20-100 people to operate. You don't think these publicly traded companies aren't constantly trying to lean out data center operations either?
Fleeced by mega corporations and Louisiana politicians. Tale as old as time.
