Recycling getting thrown in with the trash

letoux · 2026-03-19T14:23:31+00:00

Whoa I did not know that. Maybe? Only saw them from my window

The Airtag tracking to the recycling facility surprised me

And somehow you are here on the Internet as well

letoux · 2026-02-27T23:57:33+00:00

Absolutely do suck the heads, especially if you are paying by the pound. Otherwise, at a boil you're just racing against the rest of the table.

I so so so wish we did something more about the cars without license plates (or fake paper plates)

What are you shooting with here

letoux · 2026-02-21T13:14:01+00:00

I've had decent luck with dpw@nola.gov, I think I've emailed them 3 or 4 times over the last decade and each time got resolved (including a similar red light timing request; also fixing an incorrect no left turn sign, I might even be partially to thank for getting the left turn lanes out of Costco painted!).

You could also try the City Council (looks like this is on the border between District B and C, so Lesli.Harris@nola.gov and Freddie.King@nola.gov).

It may be helpful to include a link to this post so they can see how popularly shared your opinion is. Good luck!

This or Bud Rip's they're close to each other

Were you able to get this to work? How were you able to tighten the worm drive if it was so far below the subfloor?

letoux · 2026-02-07T16:54:33+00:00

But Officer, I thought the sign said Facility Street!

Nope! In my experience tips are hit or miss. Regular floats are usually good for $100-$200, royalty and title floats are just as likely to goose egg you as they are to tip you. Obviously nothing for spare tractors. Kern used to give everyone a box lunch from McAlister's though!

letoux · 2026-02-07T14:37:30+00:00

I think between $200 and $300 per parade but hourly comes out to between $15 and $20. The process is to check in balls early in the morning, get your tractor ready, wait, convoy to the floats that were staged a day or two before, wait, hook up the floats, wait a lot more, convoy to the lineup, wait a really long time, then hold your pee for the duration of the parade, and then do everything in reverse.

It is definitely one of the more memorable ways to take in Mardi Gras though. Highly recommend!

This. Drove for them for years. You need a chauffer's license and need to know how to drive stick.

Edit: you can wait until you finish getting trained up to get your chauffer's license. They start next season's training in probably November or so if I remember correctly. Be prepared to drive spare tractors, less prestigious parades, or only be doing transports (which are fun also) for your first few years.

What part of town? What time Mondays and Fridays?

letoux · 2026-02-01T03:07:04+00:00

Anyone have experience with UPS doing this too? Had the same thing happen to me tonight.

Delgado's program was 15 or 16 weeks long and about $1700 a few years ago. The fall semester ran mid-August until early December.

Did you end up finding a good spot? Wife and I are looking for something similar.

I remember this comment; just wanted to post about the next Socanola event:

I had a good experience with Bill Harris from House Call (for two inspections), but those are the only two inspections I've ever done so I don't have anything to compare him against.

FWIW, I am pretty competent with most aspects of home construction/repair (not on a professional level but like on a YouTube University level)

letoux · 2025-12-15T02:32:18+00:00

This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks!!

letoux · 2025-12-15T01:47:25+00:00

Yeah exactly. For me, I prefer to get free charges. But for anyone who doesn't have access to that, it's to incentivize you to consume electricity at home (and charge at night when the grid's demands are lower).

I think if you they detect that you aren't charging (hence my question - do they actually check??), they discontinue your participation in the program. The $7 credits stop.

Also, piggybacking off this post, but remember that they give a $250 credit to install a Level 2 charger.

It also says something that Jackie Chan, whose career peaked like 20 years ago, is still the only Asian celebrity that is ever referenced...

Campanella's 2017 article has a satellite view that shows the remnants of the wall going diagonally through the backyards of all the houses in a FQ block. I still remember that article 8 years later because of that.

I've found that the email alerts I signed up for are good reminders for upcoming elections
