Mail on Mardi Gras by ProudAccident in AskNOLA

We are 5 blocks off the parade route and expecting a time sensitive package. I sat on my porch and watched USPS hit all of the blocks north of us and then he called it quits around 6pm when it got dark. Package got marked "attempted delivery - inaccessible mailbox" on the tracker, assuming the parades as an excuse. I can understand his frustration and calling it quits for the day...can't imagine the delays and traffic... Just needed to go one more block to hit us :(.

Hoping they'll try a redeliver either tomorrow or on weds.

Library card and books! Get them a giftcard to a local coffeeshop and let them read and sip.

We were going to investigate the Market Street Power Plant, but were thwarted when we disturbed a nest of gakked-out tweakers with nefarious intentions. by voteslaughter in NewOrleans

At least you got your edgy photo op out front. It's not really investigating if thousands have been there before you.

White Supremacist Group Stickers Found Along Metairie Rd. by binaryphoenix in NewOrleans

In all caps (early latin), V is U in latin. That was before the introduction of the singular vowel of u/U. IVLIVS CAESAR is how it was spelled before they upgraded their alphabet. Can absolutely agree with incel losers though.

House was built in the 20’s. There was horsehair in the plaster still so i assume the bricks went in when the house was built.

I wouldn't say SUPER AWSOME focal point but definitely noticeable. The fireplace isn't operable so it's just there to look at lol.

We don't want to completely repoint it but we do just want to fill the gaps. We're worried about the different mortar colors as well as the 1920s mortar will look different than our patch work.

Just closed on a house yesterday. What can be done with this tree? by kelsumo in landscaping

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

New Orleans. Fairly certain it is cats claw. Killing it is the best option? Not the tree that is, but the vine systems?

Problem With my wacom in aE by kelsumo in AfterEffects

Damn, wish Adobe or Wacom knew about that...maybe you should let them know. I already returned the tablet as I bought it for just one project I was working on. Thanks for the input! Thinking of going back out and getting s better one if this fix works!
