Yes, agreed. That’s why I am trying to find the full piece online… but unsuccessful finding it.
I won’t preempt outrage, but absolutely will, if admin allows rando trans women to room with random matched freshmen women inside of non-coed (women only) dorms.

The gist of it was that the dorm application process would allow the trans to be ROOMMATES with incoming frosh females, not simply within the same coed dorm.
This *could* have been a twist to the narrative, but the prospect still worries us

Laura Ingraham Fox Piece - LSU proposal to consider trans women (bio men) in freshman dorm
Posted by LSUnivFan on 4/11/24 at 7:42 pm
I flipped halfway thru her segment and didn’t catch it all, and searched history.
The proposal considered by LSU admin, presented by a current student, would allow biological men to reside in freshman women’s’ dorms.
Did anyone catch this? Or is flying under the radar, as they hope it would?
Context: my daughter (17, Junior HS NO PICS) wants her higher education to be at LSU, and her Mom and me - both alums - have significant problems with this.

Absolutely cannot. Every other word is Err/Uh/Umm. KJB not much better with the Akshuallies.
I second Circa. The pool is awesome, and the sports book is a massive theater style watching event. Dozens of imax size screens to watch, but limited audio.
The pool might cost entry of $60(?) unless you get a comp from table or slot play.

Wouldn’t it be “WE WERE kinda take it or leave it”?

My father passed away 4 years ago. He filed taxes religiously and accurately, and was never audited.
My mother who is now 76 y/o has been waiting on a tax refund from 2018 in the approximate amount of 10k for these last 4 years. She has called numerous times, and been kept on hold for Hours and Hours to no avail.
So tell me, how many of those 87,000 motherfrickers are going to be able to answer the bell when my mother calls next?
Or, will they just show up at her door with ‘leathal intent’ weapons screaming STASI STASI mfer!

I hate that this post slipped so far down, apologies… I saw it earlier.
The place you have mapped isnt the *best* spot to launch, simply because of the tides. It may be too shallow to paddle.
Instead, in the lower right of your map, there is a spot where you CAN drive up and park right next to GISP, and while it may be a bit longer of a paddle, you can get to a better spot.
Jolly Roger, where it makes a 90 degree by the water tower, has a spot to park and a wade-in to launch. I’m too old and dumb to post pics, but the spot is just below and beyond to the right of your image.
Then, paddle out NNW until you get to the breakwater… there’s some fish in there *inside* the jetties, but beyond the jetties is a dredged hole, about 7-8ft deep, that holds drum and trout. (And a shît ton of gafftop, if you bottom fish)
Hope this helps, and happy fishing!

Frank Gallagher would like a word.
that’s a fair point Bayou... if the GC wants to replace ALL the substructure in the joists/beams/headers (all 12 by) then that would roll up the costs quick... But I still can’t see 26k.
Unless it was in Trex, with terracing and tiki hut and built in hot tub and anything else one can imagine. That’s over $50.00 per square foot on the build. This house can have a 3rd story tacked on to it - including plumbing and elec - for that price per sqft.

Is this contractor on crack?
Posted by LSUnivFan on 3/21/20 at 12:25 pm
TLDR - $26k estimate for a 500 square foot deck, stairs, and railings.
So, over the past 7/8 years, I've been helping a buddy that owns a canal home on Galveston with rebuild work both inside and out. Over this time, it's been nearly a 100% overhaul, with us doing most of the work ourselves.
The top deck has been put off until last, and it is now well beyond its last leg. We're getting a bit older, and PROBABLY don't want to do this one last project. He texted me this am and asked about material cost to replace the decking, stairs, and railings - the dimensions are approximately 25' wide and 20' deep, extending over the canal and boat lift; all approx 10' above the slab / lower deck.
I did some quick calculations, and I came up with ~2k for material only (pine all around). He went the contractor route, got an estimate for 26k and was shocked. Hell, we built his entire same sqft lower deck where there was none before, and then rebuilt the boat dock and extended the surrounds (new joists / headers for all) for a total of $1500 in the past couple years.
Does anyone do this professionally? Is this contractor on crack? I can see 10k for a basic deck/stairs/rails by a pro... but 26k?? For a weekend's worth of work and 2k of materials?
Screw learning to code - I need to build decks.

Tempting, thanks! However, I'll have 3 people in tow who are all native SoCal who want to witness the 'bat-shite-insanity' that goes along with being an LSU fan.
(one guys' words, but at least partially true, amirite?)
It'll be hard to match a Big Woodrow's environment in Houston, or the old Ben's Half Yard in Dallas, but that's the kind of environment I'm looking for. I'd like to be able to scream in full voice,"RUN MOTHERfrickER RUN" at the TV and not get looked at like I just upperdecked a toilet at their gramma's house.

No responses in 8 hours? On tRant??? 
I'll be in LA as well. More specifically Anaheim/ OC. Anybody got a gathering place? Surely in a metro area of 13 million people, one must exist.
The "Where to watch around the world" thread says Mr. Pockets on Sepulveda south of LAX, but last updated maybe 5 years ago.

re: This trade got vetoed. Please give me your thoughts
Posted by LSUnivFan on 9/3/15 at 4:31 pm to ATLsuTiger
Seems like it would be a fair, need-based trade. Don't know exactly why it would be vetoed.
I presume you're in south LA somewhere Broke?
Then you'd have one normal walk thru gate, and two separate swinging gates for the double wide? 3 gates, no? Anyway, I think matl' est is close regardless.
Best o' luck!
Best o' luck!
When you say double gate, is it one swinging gate that is double wide? Or two separate swinging gates separated in the middle?
Wood posts: 14 posts x $3.57 (cheapest wooden post 'rounded 4x4) = $51.00
350 pickets or so x $1.28 = $448
54 pressure treated 2x4 (39 for the rails, 15 for three gates) = $215
Gate hardware 3 x $25 = $75.00
Quikcrete 14 bags @ 2.67 = $37.38
Nails for pickets (you'll wanna use ring shank) $20??
Stain is about 1 gal covering 200ft sq, you got 1200 feet to cover, so about 6 gallons $35ish per gallon = $210
Should be between $1100-1200 total?
ETA - you'll likely want to double up (shorten the spacing on both sides of the gates to reduce gate sag, so maybe three more posts and concrete? Also will need some 3" nails for the rails to the posts.

re: Is This A Decent Quote For Replacement Wood Fence?
Posted by LSUnivFan on 3/4/14 at 9:51 pm to SirSaintly
Haha - more. A buddy of mine did 8ft cedar board on board, top trim, rail cap all the way around, two walk thru gates and a 24 electric sliding gate across a 3 car alley driveway (And not the most elaborate fence in his 'hood either). Total linear feet, 145. I asked him how much he paid - 16.5k.
This was a couple of years ago, when I had just rebuilt my fence, and I said I KNOW we coulda done it for less. The following spring, another buddy of mine built a fence around his huge-arse yard (315 ft) similar to buddy 1 for about half. Only 6ft, and electric gate was already there, but buddy 1 shite himself and buddy 2 said we need to go into business.

That's not too bad - I do fences on the weekends and usually quote about 10-20% less than the fence companies. I plugged your numbers into my estimator and came up with $4750. 12 gauge steel posts, 6 ft cedar with either 3.5" or 6" wide pickets. I'd do it for ya, too bad I'm in DFW

@UGA 9-26
UF 10-12
@ Ole Miss 10-19
Or am I just wishful thinking and all these are gonna be slated for 11:00 / 2:30?
