this seems like a great to reduce truck traffic


Sounds great, doesnt work. "The last mile" is extremely difficult and expensive to double handle. Every time we try to change logistics on a project, rail is the most expensive. We dont see cost savings using rail so we dont use it. OTR wins everytime.

Thats where drones for the last mile is interesting but we are quickly headed towards crowded dangerous airspace due to UAV and crowded roads with autonomous road vehicles.
There is an entire family of othodontists in Birmingham with name Rape pronounced exactly like you would expect. Tons of 80's and 90's kids saw the Rapes. They didnt hide their name and still dont to this day as it looks like the Rape family tradition lives on.



He is part of Nelson Brothers, a chemical company most known for commercial explosives manufacturing, or at least emulsifiers and other ingredients. They are based just NW of Birmingham and pretty big in the mining industry. I think this camp was used in part to wine and dine clients and employees.

Similar situation for me, many years of Amazon returns to UPS Store and had first return it forced me to use Whole Foods. My wife warned me, its a shite show. When I got to the WF at Town Center, the Amazon return area was chaos. No employee was instructing there was a line. When it was my turn, the employee just gave me the "what the frick you want?" look holding scanner gun. The person never said a word and I put my phone out with for them to scan. They scanned, took my $200 return, and looked at the next person. I asked them if I get receipt and only word spoken to me was "No". I was kind of dumbfounded and just went back to my truck.

While I was in my truck, I received a text notification that the return was scanned. I did get money returned.

I will never set foot in Whole Foods again.
On wind and visible cloud imagery, it looks like the eye is going to pass directly over NOLA.

We might get some cool images from down town NOLA today.

Is it center of circulation or center of low pressure readings? Can wind shear offset or tilt the circulation?
I keep seeing this reference to 1994 Lillehammer. This was my prime adolescence years. What made it such a must watch? The Tonya Harding thing couldnt be the sole reason so many watched and record stood for 30 years.

What were other storylines for the '94 Winter Games?
Like said, this has been around a while. I am on a lease that does this.

Here is my lease agreement:
"The Property participates in a DNA dog waste management program (“DNA program”), the following rules apply to dog
waste. Every dog at the Property is required to submit to a cheek swab to collect a DNA sample, which is sent to the DNA
program’s laboratory for processing. All dogs are also added to a secure DNA Pet Registry. If dog waste is found at the
Property, a sample is collected and sent to the lab for matching. If the collected dog waste matches Resident’s dog’s DNA
sample, the fine is as follows: 1st offense - $250; 2nd offense - $350; 3rd offense and beyond - $450."


I have enough friends that have positive reviews to convince us to take our kids and try it out. I told my wife we will go on a weekday and we are going as a group of 15. Its not exactly cheap which Ive heard keeps the free loaders out.

What is your intended use? Budget?

There is DJI (and clones) and then there is everyone else. There is some dark money investment frickery going on with the DJI ban, but the ones that arent banned are what you want to target.

One big thing about your intended use is going to be do you need zoom or not? That determines if you need a zoom lens.
Southlad Coins and Collectables, 6 employees, $75-$100M

What they collecting?
Ive bought 3 used from Team in BTR with zero problem. I think some of their guys are 20+ year and never left, which kinda gives me peace of mind thinking they treat their employees right and employees are decent enough to survive that industry. What brings me back is that they covered a $6500 axle/diff issue from a vehicle outside of their standard 30 day or whatever warranty. The truck had well over 100k miles and like 60 days from purchase the axle and diff took a crap. They didnt promise they could cover it, but said they would try and they came through in the end. I paid $0 for repair.

re: 2026 Indycar Season Thread

A few oddities and interests I thought:

The first car to run out of fuel (Simpson) is sponsored by the fuel company Sunoco. Clever airtime? Sabatoge by title fuel rival Shell? Either way I chuckled of the optics of the Sunoco car being pushed off due to fuel exhaustion.
:blackheli:

Speaking of fuel, Palou, I think, missed fuel window by 1 lap. Dixon and Palou were on same strategy during one of the redflags. Dixon pitted under emergency fueling penalty and Palou stayed out for one more lap when pit opened. At the time I couldnt believe fuel save master Dixon couldnt last 1.25 miles and stay out like Palou.

Palou ran out of fuel on following lap in pit lane and had refire issues. Measuring in google maps, Palou ran out 1000ft short of his stall and coasted.

Dixon goes on to finish 11seconds back including forced full pit again (under caution very next lap) and restart back of pack penalty. Palo finished 2 laps down. I think, Palo team went for it all and missed just barely. 1000ft or lack of, I think, determined this race.

How many drops of fuel are in 1000ft going pit speed? :wha:


Burrow and scat ID request

Posted by AutoYes_Clown on 5/30/26 at 11:14 pm
After all this rain, some new things in the yard. I did one of these scat requests last year, was racoon then. This time it could be multiple animals. The two scats have me confused. One with burs, the other looks canine with hair but not my dog.

Residential neighborhood in EBR.

Burrow, Armadillo? Its difficult to tell but its deep, cant see past 2 to 3'. It is definitely oval shaped more tall than wide.


Dig spot 100ft from burrow


Dig spot 200ft from burrow


Scat 3ft from burrow


Scat 10ft from burrow. There was more and this is not from my dog. 6ft fenced area.
Cheers my fellow significant-aires :cheers:
