Pro Tip: When I subscribed, I studied the two options for a bit on PC/browser. I guess it sensed I had cold feet, so it eventually popped up and said, "Wait, don't leave yet. How about this offer?"
Proceeded to give it to me for $52 for the first year; renews in year 2 for $90; renews in year 3 for $119.88. Full price for year 4, by which time I hope to be living in a new area and reading another news source.
Those varieties of offers really grind my gears. You have people that if they don’t remember to cancel by x date end up paying full price or the paper keeps raising general and your promotional rates because they are losing money on other subscriptions that they are offering at a deeply discounted rate.
Cable companies and satellite radio companies do the same thing.
There should be one fixed price and if they offer a service at a lower cost that rate should be available to everyone and not just to those that are threatening to cancel or a new subscriber to get a promotional rate only to be rate jacked a month later, 6 months later, a year later, etc.
What’s to say the algorithms don’t apply the deeply discounted rates to certain people.
I saw one article where online shopping platform was using price manipulation to entice people to buy certain items by dynamically changing the price where one item may have had several different prices to get you to buy the items or charged certain people different prices based on their browsing history, location, etc.

One thing I find funny with some news websites and the Advocate is one of them. Some photos get auto cropped and some of the photos especially those of athletes are left with a crotch shot for a thumbnail for a story.
You would think a copy editor or website manager would say something or go in and change the thumbnail instead of leaving a moose knuckle on the page.
I know there may be some closeted fans of this.

re: Best indoor HDTV antenna
Posted by Tarps99 on 3/2/26 at 5:37 am to beauchristopher

I live in Lafayette and I cannot get CBS no matter where I set it up .
Most indoor antennas are only good for UHF reception. KLFY transmits on VHF channel 10. The antenna will try to pick it up, but it is not optimized to pick it up unless you are really close to their tower north of Rayne in Maxie.
KLFY also only puts out 20 kW compared to 500-1,000 kW that most other full power UHF stations output. The FCC did not give VHF stations as much power initially and KLFY and WAFB are kind of short spaced and could interfere with each other if the power was boosted.
For example, WSVN in Miami was able to get the FCC to increase their power to 158 kW after the digital changeover because of viewer complaints of not being able to receive the station in digital. Fox 8 in New Orleans was another example, they switched back to UHF after initially switching to channel 8 on VHF for the digital changeover.

What refreshing take after a totally different take from a year ago when the FBI in New Orleans raced to hide the terrorism aspect of the New Years Day attack in the first press conference.

I hope they had to climb down and were terrified in doing so.
I guess they got a crash course on tower climbing on the way down.
Also, some those FM’s probably had to reduce power or switch to an alternate site.
Some people say anything above 500-1000 wats of RF is harmful at the antenna level.

I just love this faux outrage in October and March as though there are no governmental reasons for the short supply as we transition from government mandated winter to summer blends or vice versa.
Plus you have traditional shut down or maintenance periods around this time that also squeeze supply.

In that video, he claimed he saw his mother having sex with his friend through a crack in a window.
After reading that quote, anyone thought of the scene in My Cousin Vinny where he questions the witness about a screen and the bushes.

Currently, senators make $18,000 a year and delegates make $17,640. Additionally, while in session, legislators receive a $237 per diem. When not in session, they receive a mileage reimbursement of 67 cents per mile to attend meetings, $300 if they attend a meeting (increasing to $400 if they attend two meetings in a day)
Do these meetings have to have a purpose?
Some quick math says, if every weekday you schedule 2 “meetings” a day, 250x400, that can easily get you to 6 six figures plus you get a mileage check.
Sounds like a sweet gig.
