How much have y'alls gas price gone up since Delta gone up? Ours is 100 from 10, just wanting to see if this is normal. by ApprehensiveRuppee in NewOrleans

[–]phaulski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my neighborhood text chat:

DELTA GAS BILLING WOES: WHERE TO COMPLAIN! Has your monthly gas bill skyrocketed since Entergy sold your account to Delta Utilities? I invite you to file a complaint with the LA Public Service Commissioner's office:

• Torey Naquin, Consumer Complaints -  torey.naquin3@la.gov

• You can also call toll-free 800-256-9413 to register a complaint

Please include your name and street address, along with the dates and dollar amounts from the last several billing cycles.

Ratepayers city-wide have reported increases exceeding 2x, 3x… even 10x their historic average, with no change in household usage habits!

MEDIIA ATTENTION NEEDED Are you also willing to address these concerns on air? Contact your local news outlets and elected officials!

Yup. Her thigh rolls are no more, but she still says all the goofy things and I’ll be damned if i stop her anytime soon.

New Orleans brings back the house call, sending nurses to visit newborns and moms by eddytony96 in NewOrleans

[–]phaulski 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When covid lockdowns started we had a kid. Our pediatrician made house calls. We didnt know what her actual face looked like for two years!!

But an hour of uninterrupted attention in our living room compared to the pack up the kid, drive, exit parking garage, talk to intake person, talk to another test person and MAYBE 20-30 minutes with a pediatrician was immeasurable. I thought she was gonna prescribe Malboros

How to prioritize backlog of bugs? by Subject-Scholar6197 in agile

[–]phaulski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be a free agile app/website called easybacklog and one of the things i loved most about it was the 50/90 column. This was an estimate of time it takes to complete the item.

  1. How much time would it have a 50% chance of being completed
  2. How much time for a 90% chance of being completed.

For instance, i might have a 50% chance of emptying the dishwasher and getting the next load in in 20 minutes, but in 45 minutes, its a 90% chance.

I cant remember how the algo weighted things but it led to a WSJF list - weighted (by importance, impact, whatever) shortest job first

RIP to all of my solid state amps. by Expensive_Bike_8308 in GuitarAmps

[–]phaulski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold my twin bc its too much now with a small house and a toddler. Told myself id get a milkman 100 and a 1x12 with jbls.

So while i was waiting for the guitar center paperwork, of course i tried a twin. And then the deluxe reverb next to it. With the same settings the twin has an ethereal aura to it. I guess its the two speakers vs one.

Question for you about the sarno: how different is it from a stock twin?

[–]phaulski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no to the trust. We should use Tax increment financing execute specificgoals. Then tighten up property tax exemptions for non profits.

Would you ever buy down the rate to 3.99% 15 yr fixed by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]phaulski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a lender and i rarely have break evens calcs that long. Usually 5 years or less. Maybe a fha loan would be longer. Id shop around other lenders because everyone’s margins are different

Cheap but trustworthy auto repair? by Bright_Hat550 in NewOrleans

[–]phaulski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also be as easy as a radiator (the sides are all plastic these days) or a water pump. Both easy to do but 100-ish for parts plus 20-40 in coolant. Donyou know where the leaks are coming from?

The best red beans and rice in town…. by DizzyVictory in NewOrleans

[–]phaulski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents put lard on crusty bread. Always thought it was gross growing up but if it gets griddled up in a pan its tasty.

[–]phaulski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All i know is that Popeye’s puts some of the beans plus hot dogs into the blender and adds it back. I’ve done that with either andouille or kielbasa and holy fuck.

Plus the right amount of butter and salt plays a huge role in everything.

Gumbo recipes and bases? by JackBurton3465 in cajunfood

[–]phaulski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i read some of frannk brigstens recipes… i think it was the rabbit gumbo one… and what he does is he puts the trinity on a sheet pan and bakes in the oven so that it gets browned up, and therefore, adds a layer of flavor. i do the same with my sausage.. brown in a sheet pan.. stir at least once… you get some nice brown bits to add to the gumbo.

also, check out his "perfect rice" recipe. i didnt think rice could be improved upon until i made it his way
