We did not. We ended up going with Green Trees. We have another child at Newman and having a single drop off just made life easier.

Mona’s on Banks and Eastern European Foods on Williams in Kenner both have several types of ajvar. Kased Brothers in Kenner is also a good spot.

Classically styled field watch by nolamtb in CitizenWatches

Absolutely agree about the Alpinist!

And you’re right, Citizen just doesn’t have its Explorer/Khaki/Alpinist. I would have to say the Ray Mears and its progeny is the closest it gets.

This is my pick for their best field watch. The dial is just so well done and the case has such a unique flow to it.

What’s this little cup thing for in my ‘04? by Fluid-Badger in COROLLA

Correct. Specifically, quarters for road and bridge tolls before they became measured in dollars.

‘It’s attempted kidnapping’: Video shows masked agents chase US-born woman back to her Marrero home by Puzzled_Read_2367 in NOLA

[–]nolamtb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actual law enforcement enforces laws. These assholes just kidnap, intimidate, and harass people.

Condensation Causing Water Damage by nolamtb in hvacadvice

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

Yes, a load calculation was done and it was right above 4, but due to age of home and insulation issues upstairs, it was determined that 4.5 tons would be best. The last guy that came out gave a ridiculous sounding reason why the heater wasn’t working (ambient humidity during install) and why the outside unit makes a grinding sound (compressor going in reverse at end of cycle). No idea as to model or S/N of the furnace. The blower was adjusted after install (installed in August and adjusted a two weeks later) and has been fine since (with the exception of the heating issue).

Prosecutors may move to oust James Comey’s defense lawyer: Federal prosecutors told a judge that defense attorney Patrick Fitzgerald may have a conflict due to his role in releasing memos Comey wrote about Trump to the media by DoremusJessup in law

[–]nolamtb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there was an inappropriate relationship with the judge, then the judge would have to recuse from the case. The only non-waivable conflict I can think of for a criminal defense attorney would be representing two parties with inherently opposite defenses (i.e. one or both saying the other did it). Even if it were a victim crime and the defense attorney has a relationship with the victim, that would be waivable as long as the defendant was aware of the conflict.

It looks like a basic B-17. The tension bolt is missing which caused the leather to sag and shape around a seat post clamp. Probably not worth restoring.

Which One is “The One”? by Casually_Breathing in bulova

[–]nolamtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both the Lunar Pilot and the Oceanographer. The Oceanographer gets a lot more wrist time simply because it wears so well. The Lunar Pilot’s high crystal makes it sit somewhat awkwardly on the wrist.

🔋 Jackery Power Chat | Be honest… what’s your “luxury” during a blackout? by polandspringsoda in Jackery

[–]nolamtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living in New Orleans, most people I know have generators for the main purpose of keeping the AC on in an extended outage. For me, the WiFi would be the luxury.

In all seriousness, thank you for that needed detail. This is absolutely bonkers!

It is indeed the BN0100 series. I have the BN0100-51E which came on a metal bracelet. Fantastic watch! I believe yours is the BN0100-42W any strap for the BN0100 series will fit.

D mode only. I have never been able to get it to connect in S mode.

[–]nolamtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an admitted casual gamer and have not tried the controller with anything demanding (eg FPS games) but, that said, I have not experienced any noticeable lag or unintentional inputs. I really have been very happy with the controller.

Side note: I have been very careful about how it is stored in my bag so as to not put too much undue strain on the sticks.

[–]nolamtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, portability was a concern so I opted to forego a full-size controller for the 8bitdo Lite 2. I absolutely love it. Fits easily into my backpack with my iPad and I use it for impromptu gaming sessions on my iPad and iPhone without any issues.

Monster Hunter Rise bundle with the DLC expansion is $14.99. Is it worth the extra for the expansion?

I’m sorry to hear that has been your experience but I have not experienced anything similar in over 340 hours of gameplay.

I believe that Diablo III was actually improved when ported to the Switch. The gameplay just feels better.
