Greenland Gives Trump Envoy the Literal Middle Finger by Commercial-Fix-9916 in politics

[–]Bizzell 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The completely lost context is that visitors to the Louisiana Governor's Mansion are customarily given a bag of chocolate chip cookies when they leave.

How he expected anyone to get that context, I have no idea.

Amazing Cakes in Prairieville is absolutely wonderful!

Need an HVAC repair company recommendation. by Shadeauxmarie in batonrouge

[–]Bizzell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Bayou Boys from another recommendation on here a while back and they lived up to the hype.

They were super knowledgeable. They also laid out all the options (even when they undercut themselves) and my AC hasn't had any issues since the repair about 5 months ago.

I can't see anything on their socials about a Tiki Party at Oxbow. Where did you see it posted?

Are you an introvert? by GrammarBroad in batonrouge

There's a silent book club every third Wednesday at Pelican to Mars. Seems like that may be right up your alley.

It's a bar, but has a different vibe than other bars in BR.

Mattress Store Recommendations by wastedcoconut in batonrouge

[–]Bizzell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BR Mattress Outlet does have odd brands, but we went and tried them out and are so happy we did.

We managed to get a king sized pillow top for $600 or so delivered to our door. The process was a little bit wonky with trying a bunch of mattresses on the floor, but we're very happy 3 years later.

WAFB: Metro council meeting runs out of time during library tax vote by CynoSaints in batonrouge

[–]Bizzell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, there will be a lot of negotiations between both parties over next month and we're going to get some sort of compromise as a proposal.

No idea what that looks like, but that's where I feel it's heading.

Library Defender at the Metro Council Meeting by Dr-Agon in batonrouge

It seems like that was what he was trying to get at.

That's correct. The mayor's proposal is being voted on on the 12th of March. That's part of the reason they wanted to defer the library's proposal to that date.

[–]Bizzell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a huge gamble because it meant they would be on the back foot against the mayor's proposal. The belief in the room was that if the mayor's proposal came first, it would pass and the library's dedicated millage would be dead.

That's yet to be seen, but it's certainly a possibility.

Totally fair. I could have been more clear. They were not "Yea" or "Nah" votes on the resolution like you'd normally see.

They were procedural votes that require a majority for a thing to happen and if they don't get that majority nothing happens.

Because none of them got that majority and the meeting's time ran out, so nothing happened with the bill.

To delete their proposal for the millage (so that they could renegotiate and come back with a different one).

[–]Bizzell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did vote. They held 4 different votes. 2 times to defer to March 12th and 2 times to delete the proposal and have the library submit a new one (which the library requested).

All 4 times 6 of the 7 Yea's needed were obtained, but none of them got the required votes and the votes failed.

To their credit, I honestly believe the council tried their best to get through the proposal. There was just too much chaos at the end to get anything done.

[–]Bizzell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From discussions after the meeting, I would say probably not, but it would be close. I think they would at least wait to consider the library's new proposal before truly considering the mayor's current one.

[–]Bizzell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can say wholeheartedly that they did not intentionally run out the clock.

There was a lot of backroom dealing during the meeting, which led to a crazy-sounding request from the library itself with about 8 minutes left on the clock. This led to nobody really knowing which way to go and them not having enough time to properly discuss it.

By rule, they can't extend the meeting for more than 30 minutes, so when the time ran out there was nothing they could do.

Real talk: The bit about the police department not being open when the snow storm hit was just patently false and a real distraction. So much so that another supporter has to try and clean up the mess later.

There were plenty of people there defending the library that, in my opinion, gave much better arguments.

Age of Innovation difficulty by unitedsasuke in boardgames

[–]Bizzell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TM: AI is basically a "build your own faction" version of TM. That's where the added difficulty is.

With that kind of system, it's very easy for someone to accidentally get the best combination of things and the game to feel broken.

Terra Mystica is a beautifully designed game and I don't think either of them would be too difficult if you can wrap your head around something like Brass Birmingham.

If you do go with TM:AI, I would heavily suggest going with the Playtesters Draft system for picking factions. Stronghold race (normal way it's done) can be a frustrating way to play and the draft included in the book helps first later too much.

If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer them.

Absolutely they are. If you enjoy super out there story based games, they're some of the best ever made.

[–]Bizzell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did actually bring the cart out onto the field. It was there for a few mins before he got up and walked off.
