I am sitting in my SUV in the driveway, charging my phone, smoking my 1:1 CBD/THC vape and having my next-to-last cold beer.
Already used app to initiate State Farm claim. My shingles no longer live on my roof. And the back neighbor psycho dogs who historically want to kill me when I am in my yard, now can. Fence is kaput.
I have a few generators to share with neighbors. Glad I flew home yesterday. The 5-8 pm show was impressive. The day will show how fucked we are. Not really. Louisiana is 6 X more than Katrina fucked right now. Less dead, to be sure. But this was a fucking disaster of epic proportions.-

The giant electrical transmission tower that sends major lines from west to east bank has fallen in the Mississippi. That provides 90% of power to Metairie and New Orleans. HUGE fuckup.
Also, power out and no good drinking water in both parish water treatment plants. Residents asked to limit water use so sewerage does not back up. Several week wait for power.-

They are in the cult, they were conned, admitting it is worse than death. So they die.
“Bernie Madoff would not steal from me - he was at my grandson’s Bar Mitzva!” - early Madoff victim
People put up an amazing defense to being conned when challenged. Hell, huge numbers of marks never admit they were wrong. Grifters count in it. Look - Bannon was convicted of grifting Trumpers. Trump pardoned him. Cletus thinks Trump is an honest man protecting him. You can never make them admit they are ignorant marks. Never. At best, in 20 years they’ll say they voted libertarian in 2016 and 2020.-

They’re related though. The pressure differential is what causes the winds to rush from higher pressure areas surrounding a Low pressure center, and the coriolis effect causes the rightward deflection of that inward rushing air in the northern hemisphere. So Lows rotate counterclockwise and Highs rotate clockwise in this hemisphere. Lower pressure also usually implies the opportunity for stronger storms as air can rise easier convectively as opposed to sinking air of a high pressure area quashing thunderstorms.
A millibar is a metric measure denoting a unit of pressure per square cm if memory serves. Inches of mercury denotes the height of a column of mercury equal to a column of the atmosphere of same circumference from sea level to the it’s top at 59F/15C. 29.92” or 1013.2 MB is considered standard pressure. I’m sure a real meteorologist just cringed at all that, but it’s a quick an dirty explanation for the OP you replied to.-

We were sent a pre-suit notice threatening a lawsuit in 2 weeks unless we paid some Florida lawyer for this attorneys’ fees for alleged ADA violations at a restaurant. It’s not a huge amount of money, but a nuisance lawsuit threat. Did some digging and the same lawyer has filed 18 lawsuits on behalf of the same plaintiff in Texas this year alone.
Thoughts or referrals?-

Got in a little hiking. 9700 ft kicked my ass when I hit the 400’ elevation rise in a 1/2 mile topo hell. Oh well.
Nice knowing ya.-

I think as this storm forms that will become the major story. It should be being discussed.
FML. I’m in Denver drinking before heading into the woods. I guess my generator won’t walk out the garage and set itself up to the transfer switch to save my freezer.
OTOH, I won’t be driving down Canal Street in a month saying, -

About to leave to go hiking in Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forrest (west of Fort Collins) tomorrow. No covid on the trails.
Me masking on the flying aluminum tube - and that working -,working is the only threat.-

No idea.
Can't remember if someone did or not, but I told people not to.
Shit! You said NOT to. My bad.-

I guess in hindsight I could have actually created some fake invoices etc. -
21 year old two story house in the outlying Houston area. We have two A/C units - 5 ton unit for the downstairs. 3 ton unit for the upstairs. Both units original to the house when built, so 21 years old.
We've had issues with the A/C units for the last several years. Every summer, we have to flush the drains by the sinks inside the house where the main drain lines for the units connect as they clog up and the A/Cs stop working. This year, I noticed the secondary drain line outside dripping non-stop (even first thing in the morning). Drains in the house working fine, so lines not clogged (at least, not from the upstairs sinks on down). Called A/C guy out and discovered that evaporator unit in the attic seems to have a cracked/leaking basin/pan inside the unit - it's dripping water down both main drain and secondary drain. Not really fixable. Time to replace the unit.
Side note: we replaced tanked water heaters with a tankless system several years ago.
A/C company comes out yesterday and replaces the 5 ton unit with the leaking issue. Unfortunately, they are unable to unclog the main drain line from the evaporator to the upstairs sink. They replaced the piping in the attic and the hose at the sink, but the line in the wall is FUBAR. They connected the main drain line for the 5 ton unit to the old (1") drain a line from one of the old tanked water drain lines. This ensures water is dripping out a pipe near the foundation on the side of the house.
A/C guy says best solution is to install a French drain at the pipe and leave the main drain connected to the old water heater drain line.
I'm wondering if there will be less headaches down the road if we tear open the wall and install a new drain line to connect to the sink drain like the old system did.
Anyone have any experience in this area? -

What a horse abortion that was. On both sides.

Lol. What scumbags.
I think they are trying the “keep saying no and hope he gives up” strategy, which probably works on a lot of people.
Just seeing how good a class rep he’ll be. -
Just don’t admit them or kick em out when you can. A married couple I know who didn’t get the vaccine got kicked out of the hospital last week and sent home with a whole shitload of oxygen tanks and some written instructions on how to use them. They’ll probably be ok but I doubt that’s the optimal standard of care.
Dunno about optimal, but sure seems overly generous. Why not let ‘em do the horse paste and prayer warrior route. -
I say put the system on trial.

I'm jealous 'cause that's a nice looking chunk of land. But Mr. & Mrs. Gingrich just have that look about them that screams "Indoorsy"
You can see her thinking, “Ten…..maybe fifteen more lifetime blow jobs - tops! And Imma have all that money. And get eaten out by hard body 20 year olds instead of me servicing the corpse.”-
