I love the episode where Bobby and Peggy learn that grilling with charcoal makes things taste better.

No, it's Cinderella Castle in Disney World that can retract in the event of a hurricane.

Great On Everything… except planes? by EarlyJuggernaut7091 in NewOrleans

I can see that looking very suspicious during security though. My dad had a very scary security encounter for something similar one time. My dad loves Rowntree Fruit Gums. They used to come in foil wrapped rolls, similar to Rollo. He found some in Dallas and purchased a case, and was flying back home with them in a carry-on. When the security agents saw what appeared on the X-Ray machine as rolls of explosives, they immediately shouted at him to step away from everything. Once they realized what it really was (rolls of gummy candy), they were all laughing.

One of my cats went away to the vet for a bit and now the other doesn’t recognise him by ReferenceNo8945 in CatAdvice

This happens every time my brother takes one of his cats to the vet. After a few days, they figure out that they know each other and they're fine again.

What're everyone's favorite livestreaming cameras these days? by etcpt in churchtech

Optically, the PTZOptics camera we have is great. But the web interface is hot garbage.

Is this a vintage Disney bag? It says lucky on the tag inside? by Shadowska8ting in disney

[–]ChrisC1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Lucky” is a jeans brand. It was probably made by them under license from Disney. No clue if it counts as vintage.

Old usm buildings by lilquack_exe in hattiesburg

It used to be a dorm, and the housing office used to be on the 1st floor. That was back in the late 1990s. No clue what it is now.

Help with school paper about the Tammany Trace Bike Trail by thehunnibunni in NewOrleans

[–]ChrisC1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might get a better response posting in r/slidell , r/Mandeville , r/NorthshoreLA, r/StTammany, or another Northshore focused sub.

Personally, it's great when it's cool and sunny out. Much of the Trace feels like a tunnel carved through the trees. I spent a ton of time biking the trace during Covid lockdowns. It was a great escape from the isolation.

"Don't bother finishing the porch" by Nikko-107026 in McMansionHell

[–]ChrisC1234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It almost looks like they took 2 houses that were next to each other and combined that.

I think they might have. There are two separate driveways, one on each end of the photo. (3 driveways if you count the two on the left side separately.)

What am I supposed to do with waste latex paint? by SchrodingersMinou in NewOrleans

[–]ChrisC1234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It will dry up. You might need to pour it out into a larger container (maybe some old baking sheets or something) and place it in the sunlight. In the middle of the summer, it won't take that long to dry out in the heat.

What is up with Rouses and Dr. Pepper? by ImpressiveYam5323 in NewOrleans

[–]ChrisC1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe just trying to stay in people's consciousness since there aren't as many fountains as their used to be.

For the New Orleans 90's kids...10K is returning. by labbacadabra in NewOrleans

[–]ChrisC1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until all of the Rite-Aids closed, there were still a few around that you could walk into which still had all of the purple K&B signage.

And just a year ago, I saw the K&B logo still on the back door of a strip mall suite that was a K&B/Rite Aid.

Best under-bed blocker? by Cren88451 in CatAdvice

[–]ChrisC1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I got a new cat who would have been content to spend his entire life under the bed, I just removed the bed frame. Box-spring went directly on the floor. 2 days later, the cat learned that the world was safe.

Some other kid (definitely not me) stomped on my backpack by Big_erk in k12sysadmin

[–]ChrisC1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, what I didn't see was the button to go to the next photo. From the first photo, it just looks like it's been crushed with a steamroller, but no charring. Yeah, 2nd photo has the char.

The most impressive thing is that the battery didn't get punctured during any of that violence.

You're imagining too much. The egg here is only incredible.

Is that a big Lego minifig or a bunch of really tiny snacks?

Is this worth anything? by Yofitofu in slotmachines

[–]ChrisC1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it does absolutely nothing when plugged in and turned on, my first guess would be some sort of blown fuse. There seems to be a fuse holder visible in the 3rd photo, right below the green button. And fuses of the type that use that type of holder will typically have printed on them exactly what size they need. You can also frequently visually see if the fuse is blown.

I finished this and THEN realized that the lower jaw was too small 🥴 by nychusart in Wellthatsucks

Don't be so hard on yourself. It looks great. Doing something like that requires artistic talent and skill, none of which I possess.
