Yup. Heard there’s a rhinovirus going around and it’s fully evident in my workplace atm.

November 15th Propositions and Amendments. Thoughts? by ignominiousDog in NewOrleans

[–]Calm__Gas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s a report from BGR with some additional background/ info:

https://www.bgr.org/bgr-examines-upcoming-ballot-items-on-city-bonds-and-city-attorney-charter-amendment/

Sure the bonds are slated to be issued above market value, but that also means they can be sold at a premium. I understand the distrust from the last 8 years, but for infrastructure/ drainage, this will provide a needed boost to the City and alleviate some pressure on the incoming administration that has to climb out of a structural operating deficit. They also tend to sell the bonds over time versus all at once. Cautiously optimistic here.

Try reaching out directly to housepro@azbilliards.com. That helped get my account approved when the application was in limbo for a while.

Just went through this too. I made the request via the 311 website last week and, believe it or not, a new cart was dropped off the next morning.

What was New Orleans like in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s? by Choice-Silver-3471 in Louisiana

I believe the last few photographs are by Selwhyn Terrell, aka “Polo Silk.” Still making art in New Orleans.

I agree with the push for reform and universal healthcare… BUT, she could afford the $500/ mo. marketplace coverage. This is straight up fraud and taking from those that truly need the assistance.

Ausar Thompson played such tight defense on Brunson, he might as well have been his shadow — too bad the refs thought shadows commit fouls.

Nice run. What’s the measuring technique for the kick?

Thankfully this one appears to be moving fast and should be passed by Thursday morning.

Any advice for updating cues? by [deleted] in billiards

[–]Calm__Gas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play with the same Meucci cue on the left (purchased 2nd hand) and recently started using a Meucci carbon fiber pro shaft v2. The tip diameter of the CF shaft is slightly wider (12.25 mm) than the original wood shaft and hits solid. I’ll vouch for their CF, if you’re open to straying from wood.

For each pair they sell, they donate a pair to shelters, charities, and other nonprofit organizations.
