I'll stick to college baseball. Even though LSU has won 5 national championships the most you get as a player is 1/2 scholarship. My moms internist held the record for most SEC homeruns until two years ago. Then went on to medical school. If they go BLM I guess I'm totally done with sports.

Yeah listened to the news conference today about the water issues. Oddly enough my friend that works at one of the hospitals and stayed had pics of his house and it came out undamaged. Not sure what community it is in. From the looks it's an upscale rural area in about a $600k or more house, he...

Good idea. I've never known someone even remotely that got killed in a lovers spat.

LSU Football team protesting on campus for BLM. As much as I love to tailgate and go to games nothing would please me more than them to quickly hussle to learn a new valuable phrase. "You want fries with that?"

Customer of mine offered a brand new Intel 9700F that was on a prebuilt that they salvaged. Never been used. I know it can't be overclocked and has no GPU. I don't normally overclock and the lack of a GPU really wouldn't matter. Any other drawbacks. I don't even think it was the for the company...

Friend that stayed at the hospital in Lake Charles said he made it ok. Made it to his house and his house came out of it ok as well. Guess a miracle. His wife and kids went to Baton Rouge for the storm.

Chlorine leak in Lake Charles under control finally. Shelter in place still for those within a mile I think. Fighting a lot of smaller fires at the plants and refineries.

Chemical industry safety board has been on a kick as of late to have procedures in place to handle such stuff. I think it was Harvey at a plant near Beaumont they put a bunch of chemicals in trailers to get them off the ground. Then moved the trailers when the water came up and it was above the...

Friends parents stayed in natchitoches and the eye went right over them. No word yet. My friend is having class today in Dallas, she was ticked they wouldn't come stay with her. Grandmother lives about 100 miles west of natchitoches and her power is out. Said it was cool so she just opened up...

Lake Charles heavy petro chemical town. Isle of Capri casino boat wedged under I-110 now. Chlorine leak from one of the plants. No idea if they got it under control, most likely just letting it go since everything is under water acess wise.

Power outage map shows all of Lake Charles out, 1/2 of Lafayette out, and a large number out in Shreveport. Most of Beaumont. 14 off the sub where my grandmother lives. Pretty sure that's everyone in that community.

Friend stayed at the hospital in Lake Charles. He sent a few updates via facebook and guessing they are out of power now. He's some executive or something there. His family left Lake Charles.

Niece in Lafayette said heavy rain but no abnormal wind as of yet.

Grandmother about 2 hours or a little more north of Houston off 59 no power now about an hour and probably weeks now. Straight for Lake Charles which is almost nothing land wise. This will be bad, everyone went to sleep last night thinking cat 2 which most could endure and have before. Now 12...

Haven't been to Winnie TX in forever. Very little actual "land" there. I went there to go goose hunting. South of I-10 through there is like the southern end of Calcasieu parish, water. The news was all over how few Calcasieu parish had for covid cases. It's nothing but water and a few duck...

The whole thing shows on local radar with the news now. I'm sure it's going to be a powerful storm and they are talking about a bad storm surge. It just looks tiny compared to ones I've seen before that fill the gulf from west of Houston all the way over to Pensacola with ran. The eye looks 150...

It was a optional evavuation notice for 400,000 people in Houston last night when it was still a predicted cat 2. No idea how many more after it's cat 4. I imagine I-10 packed up and crawing in both directions by now. Why people stick to the interstate no idea. Some friends in Katrina didn't...

49% of all oil rigs in the gulf are shut down and evacuated. Saing after the storm has come and gone a week to get them back into production. Lake Charles and Beaumont are heavy petrochemical towns obviously. Morgan City to be hit by some of it, largest heliport in the world there. 40+ pads...

Grandmother right in the track of the storm. Wasn't really concerned when it was category 2. It's weathered those before. Not really worried with trees, up close to the house is all live oaks. But she'll be without power for no telling how long. Power to her house runs between the 2 lane road...

It was a gift after I gave the 1080 I had back. Also the computer I used then for business went away. It's done fine for the only game I play, a 17 year old game. Eve online. The computer I used in business for my cad work went away shortly after as well so I drug out the 10 year old computer...

Been within the lifetime of most people on this board that there was a massive shift with companies looking to asset appreciation and driving up the price of the stock from growth and a steady dividend for a lot of companies. Had both forever but there's been a pretty large shift over time in...

I no longer use my computer for cad work and such. Mostly low end gaming stuff. Thinking of going to an amd 450 motherboard and something like a 3600 ryzen. Low end graphics card most likely. What I have now is working just want a little better upgrade on the gpu so might as well upgrade the...

Friend of mine has a kayak and bass fishes in neighborhood lakes around Dallas and down to East, TX and north Louisiana. She has a trolling motor on it. I'll ask what brand she has. She fishes at least 3 days a week, sometimes spending a week at their camp and fishing everyday.

Ok might as well. Still banking on werewolf.

That pic is probably from 2004.

The forecast I saw earlier had both storms hitting as a lvl 1 hurricane. Looked like one was going to the east side of Baton Rouge and the other the west side. Gonna be a lot of rain. Hopefully not as much as the 2016 flood, 30" of rain in 48 hours. Friend flooded bad in 2016 and they just...

I use a regular screen and a vertical off to the right side for books, reference and such. You are right, run out of room in a hurry like that and the vertical gets pushed back when not in use.

Avatar checks out.

Yeah it's made so you can use it like pictured, or switch the two pieces and it will line up kinda with the roof so you can put lighter ones on the roof. So one way it's like the pic long and low, or flip them and it's short and tall. I got mine I think from harbor freight. I split a pool...

I haul a 13' with a 6.5' bed truck that has a toolbox in it. Not my pic but same thing. I tie a red flag on the ass end of it while doing it.

My system meets minimum specs, so I'm sure it would be a slide show.

No cheerleaders on the sideline this year. What little they had left, they lost lol.

Jita to Amarr if you want to stay in high sec to move goods is now 45 jumps. 1 low sec system, Niajra turned low sec with the invasion. Talk about gank central now lol. It was 9 or so before I think. Jita and Perimeter too early to tell how big of an impact. 36k npc's killed in a 24 hour period...

Guy I work with his wife "had" MS for 20 years. It never got better, it never got worse. She finally went to Baylor medical or whatever the name is. They found the issue and at least she's no longer paying deductible every year on her expensive ass meds.

If everyone is special, nobody is special.

50+ = white noise.

When I took copaxone it came in a big cooler with gel pack things that were frozen. When it got to me it was still very cold. I'm not taking anything now. New diagnosis requirements for MS, I don't meet them. Long story. Hope she gets something that will help. Yeah it's one heavy duty heat wave...

@Oldbased Nope, never have. All the medical shipping shit is getting old however. My glucose meters come fed ex once a month, I get 3. They keep getting slower and slower. They're made in CA and someone on reddit said they were shutting down for 2 weeks since someone got the virus. I got about...
