re: Question for Those Who Moved Away From Louisiana
Posted by kingbob on 6/4/24 at 3:27 pm
Ideally, I’d live in a SoCal beach town, but then I remember that I wouldn’t be able to find a job there, and my mortgage here is only $1100/month.
My priorities are very different from most OTers as I’m in my 30’s, single, no kids, and never will have any. I am reasonably close with my family, b...

It’s insane to me how much their family’s life in the 80’s resembled my childhood/tween years in the late 90’s-early 2000’s. Barry reminds me so much of my oldest brother, and Erica is sorta similar to my middle brother (musician), granted, the middle brother had his JTP.
Anyways, it’s like they ...

Beartooth
Bad Omens
Halestorm
Sleep Token
Dirty Honey
Yungblud
For hardcore, check out:
Knocked Loose
Electric Callboy
Callous Dowbois

I find that when I travel out of Louisiana, it feels like I’m going to the future. It used to be a mild difference, but now it feels like we’re living 10-20 years behind areas that are thriving, and the gap is only growing....

I don’t care for the bread at Firehouse. It always tastes a little stale. Great toppings, though.
Potbelly is awesome, but I’m not aware of a location in Louisiana or the rest of the Gulf South....

1. Some jobs simply don’t work remote, but many can, and should be.
2. The jobs which become fully remote are extremely vulnerable to outsourcing to South Asia.
3. Many justify in-person work just to justify their own positions or sunk cost of commercial real estate.
4. Some workers are not...

re: What was general consensus on Ahsoka (spelling?)?
Posted by kingbob on 5/26/24 at 10:52 pm
Enjoyment of it really depends on whether or not you watched "Clone Wars" and "Rebels".
If you did, it's a B tier show. Pacing is weird, the sets occasionally look cheap, the acting is uneven, and there's several plot decisions which seem...odd, but it's an entertaining story with some solid d...
re: Sausage - for those not in Louisiana
Posted by kingbob on 5/26/24 at 11:21 am
In my opinion, Manda is great in crawfish boils because it doesn’t have the strongest flavor of its own, and thus absorbs a lot of the flavors around it. In a dish where you are counting on using the sausage as a seasoning to add a lot of flavor, manda is really not the right choice....
