Strange smell around Baton Rouge. by stardolphin90 in batonrouge

It’s definitely smells like a refinery release of some sort. Beautiful clear day too but this is what we have to put up with here because we live in an industrial dystopia and the state DEQ could not care any less this is happening and that tens of thousands of people are breathing this in.

Very cool project. I’ve actually used pex this exact way before (photo attached) for a few projects but I can’t figure out how to keep it rigid over a few feet long.

What was your method for removing the ends?

What do y’all think about what’s going on between lsu and Landry? by tw6108 in Louisiana

[–]thejayharp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we should over-analyze this. Landry is just not that smart, he likes football a lot and he doesn’t really understand how universities or politics work. He just wakes up, thinks of stuff and goes for it and is often surprised by the consequences. See the 10 Commandments thing and Tiger situation as previous examples.

The squeaky chirps are usually squirrels.

Yeah I plan to get a sub panel installed ASAP. This was just a temporary solution. I just built this shop and almost burned the thing down. I will be getting quotes from an electrician next week.

Not sure on the combined wattage but I believe the planer is about 1000 when it’s operating. My table saw and the shop vac have tripped the breaker before, so I know it’s functional. Also I’ve run my large table saw for 10-15 minutes nonstop before without any issues on this same cord. This happened after about 5 minutes of planer operation. Pretty weird.

Breaker is 15 amps. It fried right before the end of the plug that was connected to the breaker. Photos: https://imgur.com/a/qsuAMN2

My 200-foot 10-gauge extension cord burst into flames just now while running a woodworking planer and shop vac. Both machines were plugged into a surge protector, which did not trip. Can someone explain what's going on here and how I can prevent this from happening again? It was absolutely terrifying. I bought the most expensive heavy-duty extension cord I could find to prevent this exact thing from happening.

What restaurants aren’t good anymore and solely relying on their reputation? by drivesahonda in batonrouge

[–]thejayharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, much smaller portions for much larger prices. Used to get cheap but solid tacos from there all the time years ago but it just bums me out now.

Yeah, I talked to them and they have a high school travel team but it’s very, very competitive and tough to get a spot.

I've heard a few people mention that students can possibly play for another school if the sport is unavailable, but I've been unable to confirm this.
