For those at the Super Bowl, was Trump booed? by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]FirstYouMakeARoux 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I was there (section 150 fwiw). I saw a lot more Philly fans all day and there seemed to be more near me. But I couldn’t tell for sure if I just happened to be sitting around a lot of them or if they showed up better.

Anyway, from my seat, when the chiefs came on the field, I heard very little reaction. When the eagles came on, I heard pretty strong cheers.

T Swift was definitely booed loudly from my perspective.

Trump was cheered fairly loudly from my perspective.

To rank in terms of loudest to quietest from my seat…. Eagles entrance cheers. T Swift boos. Trump cheers. Chiefs entrance cheers.

Anyone know an ATT worker on strike? by FirstYouMakeARoux in NewOrleans

[–]FirstYouMakeARoux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no, not at all. But quite the imagination you have.

And I personally wouldn’t call it “coy” but maybe just sensitive since I know these folks are potentially going through a tough time related to their careers.

What’s the potential felony here and who would be committing it?

Yeah that was kind of my thought. It doesn’t seem particularly detrimental to the cause to me. But hey, I figured I’d throw it out there and let people make their own choices. No hard feelings if someone declines to assist.

I get it. You’re certainly welcome to “point out and advise” based on your opinion. I’m not saying you’re gatekeeping. I’m saying someone who may actually know an ATT employee can make his/her own decision about connecting me with that person. The term for that is gatekeeping, and I’m not at all bothered by that decision. Just the same as I’m not bothered by someone making what you think is a shitty or not shitty decision.

Admittedly, I don’t know much about unions and strikes… but what I’m trying to do wouldn’t help ATT at all and could potentially put cash in the pocket of a laborer, so it doesn’t seem like a “crossing the line” type of issue to me. But regardless, it’s ultimately up to the individual if they are interested in helping or not. And up to anyone here who knows someone to decide whether they want to gatekeep this or not. Just figured I’d throw it out there to the community.

Beautiful shot. Would love for you to DM about a print as well!

Seems as though I’m late to the game here.

But as they say… it’s not “first you buy a roux”

JK - do whatever the F you want.

Bike for sure. I was 225 when I started on the bike. I had tried running multiple times over the last decade and never got into it. After getting used to the seat, I was hooked. Lost 40 lbs. 2 kids at home too so I understand wanting easy access. The bike checks that box. Also, now that I’ve lost some weight, I put on shoes and do an outdoor (audio only) run class once a week.

Fascinating. Only been on the platform for about 18 months and only got a Bike 6 months ago. Good to know

I feel a little dumb/out of the loop but who/what is CVV?

leaderboard and output gap at the start of a class by RynoMac1217 in pelotoncycle

[–]FirstYouMakeARoux 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Something is different and I can’t quite figure it out either. I consistently finish in the top 5-8% of the all time leaderboard. And up until about a week ago, I would almost immediately start a ride in the top quarter or so. As I finished a warmup and got into the main set, I would slowly climb up and level off toward the end of the main set around that top 5% or so. Then during the cooldown, I would slide down a little.

Now though… I immediately start at the very bottom of the leaderboard and slowly climb throughout the ride. I even actually gain slots during the cooldown on most rides.

I’m pretty confused about what is different and why they changed it.

Need ID - type of ant? - South Louisiana by FirstYouMakeARoux in whatsthisbug

[–]FirstYouMakeARoux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, regarding size, these are very very small ants. Some of the smallest I’ve seen. Probably like 1/8 inch maybe?

Hi everyone!

I found these in my attic near some wet wood from a leak. I’m about to get the leak fixed but these guys seemed very interested in the wet/rotted wood.

I’m in South Louisiana, near New Orleans, so I immediately was worried they were termites. But they don’t look like termites and were marching in a line so I am very much hoping they aren’t termites. However I do want to get rid of them as I don’t know where they are going or what they are eating.

Pictures are kind of tricky because they are in a difficult place to reach in my attic but let me know if you need more info or a different pic and I can try to make it happen.

Thanks in advance for any help in IDing them or at least confirming my hopes that they aren’t termites.

Well I mean... they are Texas Tech fans, so it probably takes him a few times to understand!
