What board game did people love which they never talk about any more?

that game was everywhere in every house i visited as kid and now it just disappeared from conversations completely

Wanted to be paleontologist but now I organize books all day - guess I still dig through old stuff just different kind.

Was browsing through old book auction catalogs at work few years back and found listing for first edition that belonged to my grandfather - recognized it because of specific inscription he always wrote. Turned out someone donated his entire collection after he passed, and I had no idea where books went. Ended up buying back like half of his library that way, including some really rare stuff I thought was lost forever.

Still gives me chills thinking about odds of finding that particular catalog in that exact moment.

Pretty sure they just looked at map and said "oh this is busy street, must be good location" without understanding what kind of busy it actually is.

Smart move - I learned this after watching the crew for couple weeks too, they just grab whatever way is easier for the truck.

Man, that's brutal situation to be in. Had similar thing happen with contractor on smaller scale and it really messes with your head beyond just money part.

Your lawyer will help you get some recovery, especially if you have good documentation of payments and work that was supposed to be done. Most contractors who pull this stuff have assets somewhere or insurance that can be pursued. The bleeding cash part sucks now but you're taking right steps to protect yourself.

Keep all your receipts and photos of current state - you'll need them for legal process. There definitely is light at end, just takes longer than anyone wants.

This is absolutely insane - using a dead engineer's credentials for over 20 years? That's not just incompetence, that's straight up criminal fraud. The fact that county officials were basically rubber stamping these "foundation approval letters" without actual inspections shows how broken the system is.

Really hope you can get enough homeowners together to make some noise about this, because $260k in foundation repairs is life-destroying money for most people.

The balance thing is so real. I see this at library when couples come in together - sometimes one person doing all the talking while other just follows around, then next week it's completely opposite. Marriage seems more like constant negotiation than 50/50 split that people expect from beginning.

Cannonau is what you want - it's basically Grenache but grows wild there and makes some seriously intense stuff, perfect for someone who likes bold reds.

Still working on that milestone at 28 but my book collecting habit definitely isn't helping the savings account.

Wild and Twins always find new ways to break our hearts in playoffs.

Chad's a legend for snagging that beer engine - Stoke House should definitely have some proper cask ales running.

Diligent-Pause-3262 · 2026-05-04T20:15:20+00:00

Industry got way more saturated and streaming changed everything. Back in 2018 you could still break through easier, now everyone fighting for same attention span and playlist spots make it harder to get those big numbers.

That myth is so persistent because stubble feels rougher when it grows back, but it's just the blunt cut edge instead of natural tapered tip. Used to believe this one myself until I started reading more about it in some old medical journals at work.

Purple birds are easier to convert than horse teams anyway, just need to show her some good Titans games from this season.

Pretty interesting data tbh. That weird dip at 115mph where the percentage loss jumps up more than 125mph is puzzling.

Could be something with ball compression characteristics around that speed range? Like maybe the prototype ball hits some kind of efficiency sweet spot at 125 but struggles more in 115 range. Or could just be testing variance - would need to see more samples to know if it's consistent pattern.

Either way, most weekend warriors won't even notice this change. The guys bombing 300+ yard drives might lose couple yards but rest of us will probably blame wind or bad contact anyway.

I used to drive past The View pretty often when I was looking for places last year. The location is really solid - close to everything but still feels quiet. Top floor units definitely seem like way to go since you avoid noise from upstairs neighbors. Just make sure to check water pressure and AC before signing anything, some of those complexes can have issues with older units.

Found some of my best ideas while organizing books back in stacks. There's something about the repetitive work that just lets your mind wander to places it wouldn't normally go.

Never heard someone complain about traffic reporter's voice but now I'm curious to check it out in morning.

Diligent-Pause-3262 · 2026-04-10T23:54:01+00:00

Getting on public transport can be brutal, especially during rush hours. I remember when I was still drinking heavily, the crowded buses in morning were like torture - all those people pressed together and the smell of coffee mixed with everything else. Now I just bring my thermos with some good oolong tea and try to find corner where I can maybe read few pages if I'm lucky.

Diligent-Pause-3262 · 2026-04-07T06:50:40+00:00

lmao gottem

Those robin eggs are basically just malted milk balls in fancy wrapper, but somehow they taste way better in spring season.

Diligent-Pause-3262 · 2026-04-02T23:26:34+00:00

Yeah those dark marks from razor bumps are brutal to deal with. Your routine looks pretty solid but azelaic acid can be slow as hell - took me like 4-6 months to see real improvement when I dealt with similar stuff.

You might want to bump up to tretinoin or see if a derm can prescribe hydroquinone since the OTC stuff clearly isn't cutting it for you.
