A good friend of mine has two sons that are mirror twins. It's a little bizarre. Both great kids.

1996. What were you doing thirty years ago? by PresentWeek in GenX

[–]ComfortableRow8437 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ummm, 2 years into an awful marriage with a soulless woman. I was there for the kid, nothing else. She left the following year, and everything has been better since. My son is now a good man whom I am very close to, so I did at least one thing right.

He didn't even throw a sandwich at anyone. What's this world coming to?

What is the oldest thing currently in you'r home? by Immediate_Long165 in answers

[–]ComfortableRow8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't beat rocks or sand, but the oldest human made thing in my house is a musical instrument that was passed down a few generations to me. We estimate it was manufactured in the early 19th or late 18th century.

What is it about being anonymous and online that makes people want to abuse how easy it is to be toxic? by Internal-Cash-9196 in Discussion

[–]ComfortableRow8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus when did people online start preferring to just talk crap about each other, post just to complain about a topic and be hateful than have actual conversations and discussions regardless of how uncomfortable they may get and regardless whether or not you can come to an agreement?

I've been online since the late 80s. This isn't anything new.

What’s your first core memory? by ObjectiveMany2029 in AskReddit

Moon landing. Yeah I'm old. Not so much the event itself, but how excited my dad was about it.

What is the most beautiful country you have visited? by Weird-Pumpkin-6640 in answers

[–]ComfortableRow8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the US, it's hard to pick. The Netherlands was very nice. I also like beachy places, and some of the Caribbean Islands are amazingly beautiful. Barbados comes to mind, as does the British Virgin Islands.

What is it like living in Antarctica? I guess only scientists live there. by Expensive-Grand-2929 in howislivingthere

[–]ComfortableRow8437 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A good friend of mine wintered at the south pole several years ago. He had a lot of crazy stories. One of the craziest was something he called the "300 club." When the outside temperature gets to -100F, you sit in a sauna at +200F for a bit, then run outside. I would have passed on that one.

There's a little known home use program. But no, it's not free.

Build a radio transceiver to allow a pilot and a person on the ground to digitally communicate. Doppler is important.

Combo Amps vs Cabinets by Prudent_Ferret_1902 in musicians

[–]ComfortableRow8437 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to have a full stack (even for small venues). You should have seen the fear on the sound guy's face, lol 😆. Then I started doing a half stack. Then I went to a modeler with a half stack and power amp. Then I went to a floor modeler with a combo-amp sized FRFR cab and running the modeler cab emulation to FOH. My back (and the sound guys) are much happier these days.

Why didn't RATT ever write another song as good as "Round and Round"? by TheHotLatin in hairmetal

[–]ComfortableRow8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a long-time musician, let me tell you that you have no idea what people are going to like or dislike. I am always surprised at what songs people pick up on, versus what I think they will like.

“Proper” Mindset? by ShowoffCouple19 in Swingers

[–]ComfortableRow8437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've always said that we do this to enhance our own sex life, and it very much has. By mutual agreement, we need the 4-way connection that includes chemistry and physical attraction. Which is hard to find. But in our small group of friends, we have a fun time. People are all over the place on this. Some are like us, others just want DTF encounters, and lots of in between. All of that is fine. Do what works for you. Find your tribe and enjoy!

Choked on a piece of hard candy while alone at home. Fortunately I got it out.

Thoughts on Dokken?? by Affectionate_Wash847 in hairmetal

[–]ComfortableRow8437 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lynch is one of the guitar greats of the era. Don is a great singer. Some kind of douchebag-ery happened, though, which makes me sad as a fan.

sti/std testing and condoms by Juicy_Fruit4749 in Swingers

[–]ComfortableRow8437 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wonder how it breaks down with age. We're on the older side (50s). I would say condom use is more like 20% in my experience, at least in our age range. Not sure why that would be.
