re: Iran has rejected a second round of peace talks with the US

quote:Think about what a strait is. Think about the significance of energy resources in the area and what those resources mean for superpower nations and their militaries. Now think about who needs- really needs - those energy resources. Who is America's adversary? What would if mean if the US effectively controlled that adversary's access to critical energy supplies?
I’m still trying to figure out how any of this is beneficial to our country
In the same context, think about what happened in Venezuela.

re: How many white people in Louisiana have Spanish last names?
Posted by Epaminondas on 4/16/26 at 5:15 pm to UFFan
quote:I don’t know about the genetics of the original Isleno settlers in Louisiana. They arrived a very long time ago, so anyone of Isleno descent today almost certainly has other white/European ancestry as well.
Anyway, can you really describe people of Canarian descent as white? I mean, the Canary Islands are almost off the coast of sub-Saharan Africa, and the Spanish Canarians are supposed to have bred pretty heavily with the native Guanches there.
Also, in other areas, the ancestors of people with Spanish surnames/of Spanish descent were from Spain proper.

Leander Perez was an Isleno. They are descendants of Spanish Canary Islanders. There are a lot of them in St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes.
There are a lot of people with Spanish names in the Iberia Parish area where a lot of Spaniards settled. Iberia refers to the Iberian Peninsula. So, New Iberia and Iberia Parish are more or less like calling them New Spain and Spanish Parish. Also, Spanish Lake gets its name from Spanish settlers in the area.

State Capitol and Old State Capitol. Both free and both really cool looking inside. It's nice because you can stay a while looking around or just do a quick walk through.
Also, at the capitol building, you can go to the observation deck.
Check the operating hours. The Old State Capitol is somewhat limited. Also, probably much easier to go on Saturday because not much traffic downtown.

If it's really hot outside, like say in August, I wouldn't even mind somebody stealing my lawnmower if he cut the grass first.
re: Anyone tracking the “incident” at the New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival?
Posted by Epaminondas on 4/11/26 at 1:32 pm to HenryParsons
I'm not up on the current trends and lingo. Are the giant puppets actually puppets or is that sime kind of euphemism? I really don't know what any of this means.
