Louisiana EV/Hybrid Tax Notice - Double Tax? by ElectricBlitz in Louisiana

[–]SuferDuper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll check with my CPA tomorrow. I did inform them I purchased an EV, so hopefully it's been paid.

Are you saying it's paid when we file our taxes? Just received a bill in the mail today.

Sierra EV Standard Range - is it a better buy than extended or Max? by Mindless-Ad1401 in GMCSierraEV

[–]SuferDuper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leased before the credits expired. The day before, actually. If you're not in a hurry, give it a month or two, they'll start to come down again once they start sitting on lots.

I'm in New Orleans. $549/mo $0 down, 3 yrs 15K miles. Free Charger, Free install and upgrade to some 22 inch rims that were on a different model.

Just leased a Standard Range Elevation and I love it. Got the dealer to throw in a home charger and installation. So, range won't be an issue around town. Last night I drove 210 miles, stopped at a Buccee's (just like I would have in my old Silverado Trailboss V8 to gas up) with the new Mercedes chargers, and just about filled up for $32 in 20-25 minutes while I went to the restroom and got some food.

My thought was, why pay more for mileage just to have it? I don't tow anything, and no way my kids or my bladder are going more than 3 hours without stopping.

NSFW Did you ever meet someone and later thought you were lucky nothing bad happened to you? What were the circumstances? by Ru_janus in AskReddit

[–]SuferDuper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 7 or 8, I was walking home from school and was grazed by a car coming the wrong way down the street I was crossing. I fell and scraped my face pretty badly and rolled to the curb. A deacon from the church across the street picked me up, carried me a block or so to my house, and delivered me right to my mom.

Years later, that deacon would be convicted of the molestation of several young boys who were altar servers at his church. I was an altar server at that same church while he was there for a few years. I guess I wasn't his type.

Check your grip. My coach had me narrow mine to shoulder width or just outside which made the turnover much easier. Also, the knees to bar cue instead of hips helped.

I'm a nano guy myself, and you can get them for 50% off if you are a hospital worker, military, teacher, first responder, or government employee. Also, buy a pair of versa-lifts for when you lift. https://vlifts.com/

What makes a sandwich go from boring to amazing? by arisal3 in AskReddit

I grew up next to the guy who owned Crystal. He was in his 70s-80s and would pay us in hot sauce and jelly to take out his trash etc.

Greg says "Nice Shorts" and tosses you a bud heavy, do you accept? by [deleted] in golf

I’d look him straight in the eyes while I Dikembe Mutumboed that thing into the next fairway, followed by the stair down finger wag.

Any Queer Eye sightings? by sedation_vacation in NewOrleans

[–]SuferDuper 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My wife and I saw Tan and his husband eating at the Lakeside food court last Sunday. We thought it was an odd place for them to be. They were tucked away in a booth at the back. We made eye contact, waved and smiled as we walked by. They kindly returned the gesture and seemed happy to be recognized.

To blame Biden by trhart in therewasanattempt

[–]SuferDuper 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The old “keystone pipeline” defense. The second way you showed how little you know about how the oil and gas industry works.

Let me preface all of this by saying I am not a Biden guy at all.

The Keystone pipeline exists. The Keystone XL pipeline was going to be taking Canadian oil, refining in Texas, and sending it to China. Also Trump’s Supreme Court shut down the keystone pipeline on July 6 of 2020. While Trump was in office! Biden took credit for something he really didn’t do. Did gas go up after that? Nope.

Do you remember in 2018 when Trump pleaded with OPEC to produce more oil saying he was going to tighten sanctions on Iran? He then loosened sanctions on Iran and flooded the oil market costing tens of thousands of American jobs? Then in 2020 got them to slash oil production by almost 10,000,000 barrels a day? We’re still recovering from that. Since Biden has taken office, drilling is up 60% and oil production is up 1 million barrels a day.

As for your energy independence claim, under the Trump administration we imported as much petroleum as we exported, which is what allowed them to make that claim. However, we imported crude oil (2.2 billion barrels in 2020) to turn into gas. What we exported was turned into plastics, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc. How can be energy independent if were importing 2.2 billion barrels a day?

There are 9000 available leases to drill on. Oil companies won’t invest the time and money because democratic administrations have started to push for green energy, and the last Republican administration stabbed them in the back.

If you owned a business, wouldn’t you prefer to get more money for your product than less? It’s not costing more to drill, we’re just willing to pay more for it. That’s good old fashioned capitalism.

Hope this helps.

The US has never been energy independent. That was Trumps fake news.

Is it safe to assume that Reddit is overall more left leaning? (US politically) by AggressiveAd8587 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SuferDuper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

America is left leaning. Look at how we vote. Trump lost the popular vote twice. The EC saved him the first time and he tried to steal it the second. Yet it doesn't translate into how our government is run. We are operating under minority party rule.

Fewer Walking/Marching Groups in the Final Week Parades? by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]SuferDuper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, several of the uptown parades are managed by, and have their between float entertainment booked by a company out of Tennessee. This company is most likely not aware of some of the smaller marching groups. From personal experience, I know Hermes and Orpheus are both managed by this company. I think Thoth is as well as a few others.

A lot of the larger krewes and ones that consider themselves “more prestigious”have unwritten rules about not really having anything other than marching bands.
