All I know is that the older I get the more DIY becomes less and less attractive. 

Kids in the 80s were tougher. There were no bike helmets or  hockey helmets.  We had fights in school and nobody used the word “bullying”.  We also drank from the hose and didn’t wear seat belts. 

Please, they haven’t even discovered noodling yet, they’re light years behind us in hillbilly fishing technology.  

Retailors and Right wing nut jobs,

She said she wouldn’t rely on his word alone and would require scientific support.  

That’s about the number of those living statue / golden robot man street performers in NYC. Those outfits have to come from somewhere

The shockwave from the near miss is what caused underwater damage to the hull. It was actually preferable to a direct hit on an armored ship.

A guy on The War Zone pointed out that in the sequence starting at 0:52 in this video, you can see a explosion-free splash during the attack on Lutzow, which is probably actually this bomb.

You’re talking about shoes and not even bringing up the Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness?

Meh. None of them strapped a pink or blue dye pack to the bomb to turn it into a giant gender reveal party.

No biggie. I found a flash drive in the park that has a Word doc in which Donald J. Trump lists his IOUs to numerous off-shore interests and also confesses to having Jeffrey Epstein strangled. It’s completely real.

Did you even karate in the 80s? :/

Because that’s how karate was in the 1980s. Padding came later, driven by marketing from padding manufacturers. Originally, it was just the competitor, a groin cup (for men/boys), and a mouthguard.

It’s always a good idea when browsing Amazon to cross-check the price in another tab at one of their rivals (Walmart, Target, various clothes or hardware stores, etc). They can get sneaky and try and use hidden price discrimination to make you pay more. 

Is this more of a small-town thing or something? I honestly can’t even comprehend that mentality. I have so little memory of anything or anyone, apart from the handful of friends I still talk to, from high school, and I’m only 32. I still see those few friends semi-regularly, and our high school years are pretty much…

I liked this show more than I thought I would. Your review explains a lot about why. Men acting ridiculously with women as the voice of reason, I find, as I grow older, to be less of a trope and more of a reality.

You don't need any experience to work in a garage, you just need your own tools.

Why wouldn't you let your dad replace the springs and brakes? I know plenty of 16 year olds who can do that work with no problem.

Hand tools don't really age or go out of style. So long as you buy reasonable quality, there's no reason you can't use the same hammers, screw drivers, socket sets, wrenches, etc. for 20 years or more.

Hanging sheetrock... ahh the memories of my little brother and me (we were both over 6' and taller than my father by that time) standing in the middle of the livingroom holding sheetrock to the just-under 8' ceiling while by father operated the screw-gun. It was easier for Dad to order us to do it than it was to…
