Damn, TIL the cost of flying is limited to the cost of fuel. I guess the pilot and mechanics that keep the jet up are working for free.

Is that flange and pan a single piece? Also, what about the side with the curb?
1. Yes
2. The way they did my curb was put like a u-shaped trim piece cap over the pan. Like in this pic from google. So even if the grout line at the curb fails, water is not climbing the pan sides.

No membrane, just moisture/mold resistant drywall. The custom pan they put had higher walls than most pans I've seen, and also had some kind of barrier at the bottom. To me, it would seem impossible to leak at the pan level caulk lines. Only way I could see leaking happening is at the four butt joints of the walls. It'd be pretty easy to see where caulk lines would be failing in those corner butt joints, which is an easy patch job.
This looks like the exact type of install process:

Same thing happened at the end of last season and I forgot the reasoning. Seem to remember it sounding legit and not some kind of juicy rumor situation.

Look for nearby places that offer "cultured marble" they could very well originally be a natural stone countertop store.
I got mine done by a business in Lafayette called Lafayette Marble & Granite that started out specializing in natural stone but also offer cultured marble now.
I called LMG, told them my dimensions and they gave me a rough quote. Then sent a guy over to take exact measurements, and they did the install themselves.
So, once you find a place, just ask if they do the installs themselves.

It's called cultured marble, and it's what I opted to put in my walk-in shower. I would definitely get a quote for both cultured marble (the resin) and an actual slab of something, because I remember them actually being pretty close and having the slightest regret of not going actual rock. But no complaints.
I will never own another tiled shower because I'm too lazy to properly maintain the grout lines.

and then also after 10 years the tax exemption is over. so then you get the taxes from that
and mingo is 100% correct in that its kind of.....give them the incentive and they build here...if not they go to texas
so you can get 500 permanent jobs plus the taxes revenue starting in 10 years or you can get nothing...deceide. I prefer delayed gratification and the jobs
I agree.
Appreciate the responses.

And the company is still paying a shite ton of taxes. Sales tax on purchases, employment taxes, apportionable income taxes to the state, etc, etc.
I guess this is where the uncertainty in my thought process comes from. I don't know how to quantify that.
Easier to quantify additional tax revenue from 500 individuals (property/sales/income).
Appreciate the serious response. :cheers:

Louisiana's LNG export terminals benefit from significant tax breaks, which impact the state's revenue. According to recent reports, the state offers substantial tax exemptions to LNG operators through programs like the Industrial Tax Exemption Program (ITEP). This program allows LNG facilities to avoid paying billions in property taxes over several years.
For example, nine LNG export terminals in Louisiana are projected to avoid paying approximately $21.1 billion in property taxes between 2012 and 2040. These tax breaks are intended to incentivize industrial development but also result in reduced revenue for local governments and school districts.
While these tax breaks support the growth of the LNG industry, they also mean that Louisiana forfeits significant potential revenue from these operations.
Would you like more details on how these tax programs work or their impact on local communities?
I hate to be a wet blanket, but does the state of LA receive any benefit for being the leader in LNG exports for the US? We forfeit $812 million per year by exempting property taxes for the main LNG players. I understand that's why they are deciding to build production and export facilities here, but are we overstating the impact to our state's economy?
I listened to the presser during lunch, and they announced around 7,500 jobs during construction. Then shrinking to about 500 jobs post-construction. Does that mean LC will get an influx of families without the property tax boost for local services?
I am honestly looking to be corrected/educated, so someone please correct me. Is the sole benefit coming from 500 permanent jobs and the sales tax collected from those extra inhabitants?
My point of contention is that we are a resource rich state and are constantly broke.

I don't know what point he's trying to make. Want to prioritize the USA getting to Mars? He should use his propaganda machine to spread information that China is aiming to be the first country to land a human there.

What y'all eating for lunch?
Posted by Baers Foot on 4/17/25 at 1:27 pm
Trying to get some lunch inspiration from the Health board. I've been doing meal prepping for about a year for lunches (kinda tapered off last few weeks).
Just looking for some of y'all top 1-3 go to meals. I'm aiming for low(er) carb, not necessarily full keto, but being mindful of eliminating most simple carbs.
