It was a memorable grocery trip, that’s for sure. It was when many of us assumed we’d stay home for two weeks and be done with it, before masking was the norm, etc. I was actually in silly mood at the store that night, laughing it up with strangers and the staff, etc. I’m not sure that I have any other related…

Tesla is going to have to go back to the drawing board with their truck since Musk decided they would try to be the official EV of MAGA Nation. 

It’s really too bad when a song becomes so popular that it collapses under its own weight. Free Bird really is a fantastic rock song. I almost exclusively play music from my own library, and have listened to music that way for ~10 years. I’ve found that my appreciation for some of the overplayed songs has come back…

Interesting. It was our go-to after band events, or just on any random Saturday night. I’m not sure where the cool kids hung out. 

So what I might call “stretching leftovers”. It seems that this website has become little more than finding the latest age-old practice that tik tok has rebranded and “writing” about it. 

What I meant was I’m not into “The Beatles Experience” type thing where four dudes try and replicate the look and sound of the band as much as possible. If it’s a group of musicians who love the music and play it as themselves I’m all for it.

Was never a Sublime fan, probably not my thing. 

I read this article and I still don’t really have any idea of what a rat snack is. 

That was actually the last time I shopped inside of a grocery store until vaccinations were available. It was a surreal experience. 

I used to fully side with your viewpoint, but I’m starting to come around to the idea of “authorized” tribute/legacy bands continuing on. This article in RS a couple months ago changed my mind a bit; interestingly enough Gary Rossington is quoted in it. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/rock-band-tours-…

My mom served Dinty Moore over sliced bread as a quick meal from time to time. I used to get excited when she “made” Dinty Moore. It’s probably been 20 years since I’ve eaten it, and I have a feeling I wouldn’t be impressed if I were to try it now. Oddly enough I do have a family-size can in my pantry. I made a run to…

“Most high school students don’t go out to real restaurants on their own—if you do go to sit-down dinners, typically an adult is paying for everything.”

One of the fastest-growing chains in America somehow struggles to impress.

I loved Smash when they first expanded to my area about 10 years ago. A couple of work friends and I went at least once a week. I later left that job and kept going. One night a few years ago my family picked up Smash and I was dismayed to discover they had changed their patties. When I was a regular a burger came…

It’s definitely advisable to get a fine particle filter in that case as well. It seems like when I didn’t use one I just redistributed the dust all over the area. 

I don’t warm up my car longer than a minute for the engine, I do it because I live in a place that is frigid in the winter, and I like getting into a warm car. 

Most of the ways you suggest a landline could improve lives would require a person to give up their cellphone. I don’t discount the problems smartphones cause, but it would be hard to give up their conveniences in the modern world. I was a late adopter of the smartphone because I knew I would look at it too much, and…

I’m 40, and haven’t lived with a landline phone since I moved out of my parents’ house. I was a late adopter of texting, and at one point had a set of 3 Bluetooth cordless phones that connected to our cell phones. These phones could also be connected a landline simultaneously. I no longer have them set up because I…

It honestly just isn’t realistic to think this kind of change is feasible. I fully accept that manmade climate change is  here and that we are screwed, but I also think we are fully fucked already regardless of what we do. I’m going to buy an EV as soon is I can afford one that would meet my needs, and I’m interested…

I don’t know what this means.
