Anyone keep up with their social media? Pretty cringey.



I live in the area and went a couple times when it opened.

I like the concept of having a patio to sit outside and have a few beers on a nice evening

But based on their recent social media, it has turned into a college type bar with loud 20 somethings. Videos from recent LSU games shows a bunch of clowns at a table full of strawberry Busch Lights jumping around like a bunch of Kansas City fig gots. Not my cup of tea

Now get off my lawn!

Yeah I've gotten it before every trip to Europe, it is a minor hassle but one of those "better to have it and not need it..." type things.

I've only been asked for it once while renting a car, and presented it to an Italian police officer when I was going a little too fast in a small Tuscan hill town

Baseball "fights" are so weak

Benches clear, they yell a little bit and act like they are going to do something while a teammate holds them back. They have no intention of fighting, but just try to look tough while being "held back"

Is your Veria backpack 20L or 35?

I'm looking at the specs online- worried 35 may be too large for what I need

Yeah I’m going to drop down to the Freedom Unlimited to keep my points, not worth the higher fee for me.

Dewey Destin's on the bay is great fresh seafood. Laid back atmosphere with kid's menu

McGuire's is a whole different world to itself, but good food and fun for the kids

I appreciate you trying to move these tickets here

But these imbeciles on this board are to smooth brained to realize it is a heck of a deal you are posting. They have no interest in going to the game, but will ridicule you for everything from ticket price to username. It is a lost cause
I have a subscription to Apple One

Any idea if the $120 credit will apply to that subscription?

Small minded Louisiana people think that being successful in college sports gives them some sort of validation for an otherwise shitty state ranked last in every major category. Mad at Californians for not living and dying with a baseball team that most in the city don't even know exists.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most UCLA fans have a lot more going on in their lives than sweating over a pot of jambalaya and peacocking that a rich donor bought a bunch of jello shots.
Please make it stop...the LSU fans complaining that is

Jesus Christ
My God I've never seen people complain about announcers like LSU fans

No its not. Not for a switch hitter
At face value it was a decent flick. Didn't get too serious and everything was wrapped up at the end.

Of course there are flaws if you nit pick, but the wife and I enjoyed it for what it was. 7/10

re: Titan: The Oceangate (Netflix)

I watched both docs and thought they were both well done. The perspective from the Josh Gates on the HBO doc told me all I needed to know.

So the Titan made 13 successful trips to the Titanic. Dive #80 was when they heard the largest crack, but kept going down anyway. In theory I guess they could have ordered a new carbon fiber hull and kept going down? Seems like they could have zeroed in on a conservative number of trips each hull could stand and had a couple more ready to go. Obviously it would be a huge cost but seems like that could be a way to keep going.

In the Netflix doc they did give him credit for doing what he set out to do. He made many successful dives to 4000m in a carbon fiber hull. He just used the same compromised hull one too many times.
LSU fans love the "Sissy Blue Shirt" comment, but seem to forget the arse kicking we got that night

Embarrassing turnout for LSU fans

Maybe we can give UCLA a victory lap if they win
