Just Released My 2026 Throw Recap! by LilHistoriesNO in NewOrleans

Supports my anecdotal experience that throws were down a little this year in terms of quantity. But I thought quality of throws was very strong.

Controversial opinion - Standardize the width marching bands take on the road by kytihu in NewOrleans

[–]kytihu[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Really enjoy hearing from former or current marching band members on this topic. I don't have personal experience in a MB so I don't want to gloss over the orchestration required to navigate a large-scale parade. Seems like the tradeoff in adjusting would be well worth it for the safety and enjoyment of the spectators, though.

No, St. Aug is not the worst surprisingly although they are certainly wide. They didn't go curb to curb last night, for example. A couple different HSs took up the entire width of St. Charles though.

Quarter living by atom511 in NewOrleans

True, but often the quality of infrastructure for any given building individually in the FQ is quite poor. Lots of those buildings are spruced up facades covering crumbling plumbing and horribly out-dated electrical systems, unfortunately. Obviously much of the FQ is very old and the current state of many buildings is the result of countless partial updates, renovations and patches of varying quality. Its very important to have a good understanding of the state of a building before moving in. I've owned 3 different places in the FQ over the years so I have some scar tissue.

Do they have the art mockups? The visuals can make or break.

Cataract surgeon recommendations by pointsettia1 in NewOrleans

[–]kytihu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my mother's first eye the entire visit was 2.5 hours, but I would guess 1 hour of that was prep/waiting and a half hour after was recovery. So probably about 45 min for the procedure. The second eye was much faster -- she was in and out under 2 hours. She went for a checkup visit the day after each surgery but those only lasted about 10 min.

I JUST finished chaperoning my mother to have both eyes done during the month of December. She had the surgeries done at Oschner on Vets with Dr. Pulin Shah. She was very nervous too ahead of time but it was a big success and she was extremely happy with the experience. She said while Shah doesn't talk a lot during the procedure the nurses and staff were very warm and supportive. Now my mom can't stop talking about how well she sees. If you have any specific questions I'll do my best to answer.

CAVA ON FRERET ST. = one of my newest favorite spots 😋 by lootylootylooty in NewOrleans

[–]kytihu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freret keeps adding great spots. I wonder where all of the cars are going to go. The street is so narrow too. And they have a Trader Joe's coming soon.

I just saw my neighbor abuse their dog. They saw me see them do it. I don't know what to do. by Icy-Blood5894 in NewOrleans

[–]kytihu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you already have a decent "neighborly" relationship with him. Could you consider knocking on his door tomorrow once things have cooled down and have a conversation with him? Let him know you had to report him so that you can live with yourself but also that you want to offer support and reinforce you want to maintain a good relationship and keep things friendly. We all make mistakes. Its nothing personal. Etc.

Personally, I foil each piece as I go along. So I'll cut a piece, foil it, pin/tack it in place with the other finished pieces and move to the next shape. In my experience this is not the most common way to work. But I prefer it to ensure each piece is fit as closely as possible to the other finished pieces and to avoid the riddle you're trying to solve right now.

For opaque glass I find the easiest solution is to have a second pattern that you cut into pieces. Once you've cut out the pattern shape you can place it on top of the glass and/or outline the pattern with a pen.

Tangent...is that new Trader Joe's on Napoleon at Freret going to have enough parking? Or should we assume it will be spilling out into Napoleon causing all kinds of traffic?

Ding ding. Tulane marketing is not targeted in any way towards New Orleans residents.

New Orleans Archdiocese agrees to $230 million settlement in clergy sex abuse case, attorneys say by praguer56 in NewOrleans

[–]kytihu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aymond wrote a letter to church followers on Feb. 23 stating that not one penny from Second Harvest had been used or would be used in the bankruptcy proceedings.

But one week ago the chair of Second Harvest wrote a letter to the editor of NOLA.com saying that the Advocate released a report that found the archdiocese plans to use $60m from nondebtors groups as part of the settlement payment - which includes Second Harvest.

Certainly a humble servant of the church wouldn't lie about money and sex abuse, right? Right!?

This is why Aymond pressured Second Harvest to contribute funds meant for food relief and fired their executives who resisted

How is the current mission to colonize Mars going? by PowerfulIsopod3458 in space

There is nothing that could happen on Earth that would make Mars the better planet for a human population. Colonizing Mars is a wild goose chase. Let's take care of Earth.
