I remember eating at some little hole in the wall at the foot of the Ponchatrain levy ordered some gumbo…and while we’re waiting I hear some lady in the back banging on what sounded like a pot lid yelling (in a distinctly creole accent) “Get back in there!”

pretty sure the fresh lobster was trying to escape…

Food was amazing though. ;-)

Man they’re gonna be pissed when she wins…

Cajun food is good as long as you don’t ask too many questions about what’s in the pot. ;-)

Bigger protests yes…more violent, no.

I’m pretty sure this is actually in project2025…

He’s trying to spark protests…That’s the whole point of ICE. To piss americans off to the point that they rise up so he can declare “an insurrection” and suspend elections or whatever other bullshit he’s planning…

it’s literally the game plan, and like idiots, we’re going to play right into it.

Whatsapp is just more shitty Meta product… Can’t be trusted.

I spent about 6 months in New Orleans about 20 years ago… Out at Mischoud as part of a datacenter build-out… 3 months before Katrina hit. Talk about flushing a lot of hard work away…datacenters don’t do well when they’re under 3’ of water…

They rebuilt in Philidelphia. ;-)

So far I’ve found it to be Pretty good… I do pay the $20/month “pro” membership but I’m pretty sure most months I cost them money. ;-)

What drew me to perplexity is that it will give you footnotes on basically every statement so you can go read the reference material it pulled from. Not foolproof, but lets you see if it’s quoting an idiot or not… ;-)

What I most use it for is debugging. You can just copy/paste trace files or logs into it and it will read the log like a book and tell you exactly what’s happening.

It’s my understanding that diesels get more efficient the more load they’re under… The extra weight actually makes them burn cleaner and more thoroughly.

I’m not saying it isn’t, but it’s the only thing that keep money flowing in to the state… There is literally nothing else worth spending money on there.

As much as I hate to endorse an AI (and I’m going to get hella down voted for it)…it’s one of the few actual good uses for it…

You can ask plain questions, copy\paste error codes, and it will actually walk you through fixing problems like a non-judgy person would. ;-)

Perplexity is my go-to when I’m troubleshooting something I can’t figure out.

“How do I open and edit a word document in Linux?” Is a perfectly acceptable question to ask, things like that.used it when I was building this server to work through some concepts I wasn’t familiar with.

Goodwill is your friend

Well…not yet…

I enjoyed Halo…but hate Microsoft so to me, it’s not really a loss. I was never going to buy it.

Use the lowest octane that doesn’t cause pinging or knocking. The ONLY thing premium about gas is the steability at higher pressures…

93 octane doesn’t self-ignite as easily, and in higher compression engines this matters…

Pretty Sure New Orleans is the only reason Louisiana still exists…

Until he gets arrested, it’s meaningless.

Good, let them hold a fucking bake-sale to buy a bomb…

Maybe if 2/3rds of them weren’t busy being actively evil they wouldn’t have to worry…
