Work sent me a notification for statewide outages in both LA and MS.

It’d be fun if they included points on every AI request.

TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM ME

So it goes.

So the key here is that they don't want the address, they just want the NUMBER from the address (not 123 Example St., just 123). Which is a totally normal thing to specify. You might try that with the Entergy account number. Otherwise, I just got my paper bill Friday, so who knows. Sorry this sucks.

Sample hid me and some other folks in the pool room so we could get in. It was like Prince just appeared on stage magically - he made his way through the crowd without calling any attention to himself, and then suddenly there he was.

So they know where it’s going to happen already and haven’t provided easy-to-find notifications for the neighborhoods. You have to feel frisky and proactively dig into the app, if you actually have the app.

So if you really want to nerd out, open the Entergy mobile app and click the link to “Explore” the reliability work. On the map, click the Settings icon and select Planned Outages. You’ll see happy little hard-hat icons that indicate where the outages are planned a week out. We haven’t seen a flyer.

Oak St. and Carrollton.

We just got notice of an outage in the same time frame for next
Tuesday.

Ah, damn it

That halftime song choice is superb.

This program has saved lives and would continue to save lives, but it is at risk. Read more about it --> sph.tulane.edu/highly-vulne...

I was listening to The Band when I read this.

Cubs were my mom’s favorite team, and the nickname “Sarge” came back to me as soon as I saw this article. Sounds like it was an amazing place.

This checks out.

It’s doable in 12. I don’t know that I’d feel like plowing a whole lot after that, but make it a team effort and you’re good. Also, they’re going to laugh at us until the plow falls off in a pothole, yes.

They added some kinda compelling acts this year. Not needing to pay for The Rolling Stones helps a little, I guess.

I was JUST commenting on how this had been an absolute dogshit year.

Saw Jen Trynin with For Squirrels at Cat’s Cradle in Chapel Hill and oh my God I just turned into a sentient CMJ report.

So they reconnected?
