re: Convince me a Players Union and CBA isn't coming to college football?

Will not happen for a shitload of reasons, one of the biggest being that many states explicitly bar themselves from participating in collective bargaining negotiations with public employees (which is what the players would become).
It's actually the opposite, there are only a handful of states where its illegal across the board for public employees, and maybe 10-12 others where its only legal for certain professions like teachers, police and fire. Collective barging for public employees is legal in the majority of states.

Don't large most homebuilders own the house till they sell it. Also, a large NYC high-rise is full of single family residences. Does he mean single-family detached residents. How do you define that, devil is in the details.
So Trump says any corporation can't own more than 100 single-family homes. Democrat president gets elected and changes the limit to 5 or 10, I know there are people here who own multiple rental properties.
Slippy slope, when does it stop?

How long is your trip? If you only have 7 days or less, I would do CR, shorter travel time, basically same time zone, probably cheaper.
Hawaii door to door in 2 weeks, and in 6 days. 2 weeks was much better. 6 days was still a blast but involve early morning flight there and red eye back to make every second count, might not be worth all that on a family trip.

Not trying to defend Latoya, but this doesn't make sense. The mayor-elect and new CAO were both on the council together for 8 years and approved multiple budgets, and they weren't aware of this upcoming payment???
Didn't they vote on this at one point? Cantrell couldn't screw up everything without lacking oversight by the council.

re: Will running once per week be enough to build any base?
Posted by NOLALGD on 1/5/26 at 4:32 pm to OysterPoBoy
Probably won't help much with increasing how fast or far you can run.
But if you do it for a few months you definitely won't fatigue as much during your runs and you will recover faster with less soreness.

Residential. Less than an acre. Approx 300 by 80.
Is the property already a lot of record, or you subdividing off a larger parcel?
EBR parish has multiple residential zonings with different requirements, however, if the lot exists you can build a single family residence even if the lot is smaller than the minimum lot size, provided you meet all of the other requirements. For an 80x300 ft lot front and rear setbacks shouldn't be an issue, but you will need to pay attending to the required side yards.

I've done both, but I have never been to or through SEA, PDX, DTW, or SLC. I've been in every other US airline hub.
Feels like you travel a lot, this is interesting. I've flown more in the past 10-12 years than I did in the previous 30 plus, but I don't feel like I've traveled alot compared to many here. Based on wiki the only large hub out of 31 I haven't flown to/through is San Diego (SAN). I've been to the city, but drove and took train from LA. Interestingly was scheduled to fly there in March 2020, but the COVID shutdown cancelled that trip 3 days before.
I wonder if part of it is i've mostly traveled out of a medium hub (MSY), and while over the years I have had status before with Delta, United, and SW, I've generally picked flights by price and travel time and have flown all of the major carriers plus some over the years.

Thanks. I tried looking on the gis website but its hard to understand with the zoning. Just trying to get much info as possible before spending money on survey before purchase.
Don't post too much information, but can you share the zoning of the site, the general size (less than 5 acres, more than 100, etc.) and approximately how much road frontage (don't share name of road), and what you want to do, sure people here will be happy to offer some general advice.
re: Subdivide land

Before you call a surveyor take 30 minutes to look up the zoning of the lot, minimum lot size and yard requirements, and permitted and unpermitted uses. This will at least give you an idea before taking the next step.
And pay attention to how much road frontage you have on a PUBLIC ROAD. Back in the day it was no problem to get servitudes of access, now many municipalities have very strict requirements and could even require you to build a road to build on areas of the property without frontage.

I would say 6 full days minimum not counting travel days. If traveling from Louisiana get one of the morning flights out of Houston, Atlanta, Dallas that arrives around 2pm local time to best handle the time change. Can also sneak in a whole extra day by taking a red eye home that leaves after 7 pm.
re: Moving to New York in your 20s

There are 2 kinds of ppl who want to move to New York:
80% female because they love the flashing lights, time square, broadway, shopping, Louis Vuitton, and luxury clothing electronic ads posted everywhere. Art museums where they pretend to understand the obscure art. That’s the majority
But then you have your:
20% Finance bro’s who are hideously insecure about their image, blow their entire paycheck on having the nicest watch, suits, apartment. Mostly unbearable and 90% of his time is worrying if people think he’s successful and upper class enough. American Psycho paints this absolutely spot on.
This is the worst and most inaccurate post in this thread. Reads like your opinion of NYC comes from watching too much Sex in the City.
Off the top of my head...
Light international travel year with only Costa Rica, and no new airports.
Other than CR mix of work and pleasure US travel, no new airports or flight destinations. Some new small towns/cities driving.
Flights for the year:
NYC 4x
Chicago 3x
DC 1x
Baltimore 1x
Miami 2x
Tampa 1x
Bay Area 2x
Houston 1x
Boston 1x
Also took 8-9 Amtrak trips, no overnights. New trains included the Mardi Gras line on the gulf coast and the next gen Acela in the NE corridor.

They hate it & are trying to come back now.
$3600/month for a 1 bedroom apartment. Walking/subway everywhere. Crowded childcare facilities etc
Why did they move there and what did they expect? Did they have a plan? Sounds like a child is involved, that complicates a move anywhere. Will edit to add having a child in any City is a trigger for life changes in any City, including NYC.
Walking/subway everywhere with occasional uber in NYC sounds great to me. Living in NYC is fun and adventurous, but like I said not for everyone.
re: Is chasing Theoretical Physics a waste of time if you’re not brilliant?
Posted by NOLALGD on 12/29/25 at 10:10 am to The Silverback
Practical answer, get certified to teach math and physics, find a HS that needs a teacher, teach, start a physics club, find some grants to do research over the summer, see where that takes you.
First, not everyone wants to buy a house with a yard in a cul-de-sac, have an SUV and have to drive to get a decent cup or coffee or got the gym or a movie in their 20s, which is ok.
Living in NYC or a big city long-term isn't for everyone. Also most people who move to NYC after college do it with no illusions they will spend the rest of their lives in the City.
Outside of rent and roommates (again not for everyone) living in NYC isn't more expensive than most other large cities. People assume everyone in NYC eats and spends money on entertainment like you do when visiting. NYC has amazing happy hours, cheap bagels and in many neighborhoods bodegas and local cafes where you can get great food cheap. Thats just talking about food, not even the other experiences NYC offers.
Last, I have numerous friends in NYC who have children. They sacrifice living space for sure, but NYC public schools are generally amazing and the educational, social, cultural and recreation options for kids are endless.

re: Advice on lost definition and strength
Posted by NOLALGD on 12/24/25 at 1:32 pm to BrewDrees95
All the advice here is good. You wrote your biggest concern is loss of definition. First, that comes and goes with weight loss, second, it could just be in your head (not judging by the way, but knew a guy at a gym years ago who thought he looked like crap after all of his workouts even though he was one of the biggest and most juiced guys in the gym).
Like others have said go get checked out, might be nothing, might be medical, might be diet, maybe you just need an extra deload week and to modify your workout plan.

re: Any update on using AI for traffic light management?
Posted by NOLALGD on 12/22/25 at 1:54 pm to GregMaddux
AI mobility management has the opportunity to make moving around easier for lots of people. But...
This poster nailed it, at peak times the issue is always volume, access and choke points in the system, and that will always be the case. Using a BR example, even if Essen was 5 lanes each way you would still have back-ups at major intersections and where you enter/exit I-10. Also accounting for driveways is always a challenge on city streets,
The other potential benefit of autonomous vehicles is safety, but that will also mean slower speeds since AI will prioritize safety over speed, as it should.

The issue is development and volume. I have watched AI modeling address and intersection in Baton Rouge. It is awesome as long as it is not looking at rush hour ties because it answers always comes back with volume is too heavy to optimize.

I still like to knock back a few, especially if friends are in town or traveling with buddies. That said, along with exercise and better diet, I believe stopping the daily drinking habit I picked up during Covid had the biggest effect on improving T levels in my 40s.
Overall I'm happy with this season and things are looking up. But...
If Panthers/Bucks split and each loses their other game and Saints win out could end up with 7 wins this season and not beat a team with a winning record. So a crappy division and crappy 4th place schedule should be considered in the conversation.
So still a ways to go to be competitive if we are being honest. It would be more beneficial next season for the Saints to finish 4th in the division again.

How often was he in need of a late night pharmacy? Surely I'm not the only one who wondered this.
And if your child "must have" a prescription at those hours then you probably just best wait in the ER.
Back in my 20s, 11 pm was often like 5:30 pm these days, trying to find dinner and figure out what's going on the rest of the evening. For a while worked part-time in service industry while having a day job, I definitely grocery shopped and remember going to the pharmacy after midnight.
