I’m doing a 2 month trial right now. Not sure how I’ll ever go back to ads. Not really any alternatives for AppleTV.

It’s not too much to ask for no absolute stinker seasons. Doesn’t need to be elite. Post season. That’s it. Still no one wants him fired. It’s just disappointing. Like football not making a bowl game. Shouldn’t happen but especially not in baseball.

Leads me to another question, why hasn’t anything west of the river grown?

The I10 and its bridge in its current configuration has been somewhat of a barrier for growth over there. That will improve over time I think. There has been some population growth still. I grew up having lived in every part of the parish and like it just the way it is but that bridge is a bitch to use on a daily basis. I still consider it home though even though I moved. I’ll be back.

Friendly reminder that I DID NOT DETERMINE THE SEEDING, there was a nomination round for that.

I think it would have been better if you did. Hard to do this by committee with relatively low input. Or put out a few different options and let people decide the best bracket while making a few changes here and there.

re: Did Saudi Crown Prince MBS change Trump’s mind?

Posted by WestSideTiger on 4/12/26 at 12:03 pm to Geekboy

NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute:

President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.

According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war: “This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.”

In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.

Key points in the offer:
• $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs
• Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime
• Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub
• Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons
• Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella
• Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
• Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel
• Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran

In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.

Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.

Kind of strange that nuclear is such a sticking point in negotiations. Even if they agreed to it would we really be able to trust it long term anyway? It may also include the collection of their existing materials I suppose.
