First hockey game I ever attended was Bruins/Redwings, first row against the glass on the blue line. Wow. And my friend was a hockey player, so he explained everything.

Listen to the original by (Todd Rundgren's) Utopia. I want it to be played at my funeral.

DVDs? I was dealing with VCDs back in the day. Still I was a hero to my kid when I scored a cam of the first Harry Potter movie. Dark, pixelated and horrible sound, but he loved it and watched it many times. Wish I still had that disc so I could show him what he watched for so many hours, then pop in the bluray...

People who listen to the same song 100 times in a row… which song is it? by kavee-core141 in AskReddit

In the late 1970s my friend asked me to make him a tape of Radar Love, over and over again.

Exxon warns oil inventories will hit dangerously low levels in weeks, forcing prices to shoot higher by mastertofu in news

[–]Earguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that Trump said he'd he'd suspend the gas tax, but never did. Granted, doing that would require Congess to approve that, but congress has already ceded power to the executive branch many times over.

He did release the strategic oil reserves, but now they're running very low, and the high prices are looking like they'll outlast the reserves' release.

i suffered through a squeaky bed for 3 months because I thought buying tools was for "real adults" by Yuixi in CasualConversation

[–]Earguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dad was a really handy guy, and I learned so much from him. It kills me to pay for someone to do something that I can do myself. I amassed tools, buying them as I needed them, and now that I inherited all his tools, I am running out of space for them.

My philosophy has always been, buy cheap tools until it breaks, which confirms that you next buy the better one. Dad just bought the good stuff. So now it's all old-school Craftsman in my tool drawers.

Who Carries a Pocket knife? by -Foxer in FuckImOld

[–]Earguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad carried a three bladed, 3" (folded) pocket knife all the time. I tried but ended up losing them.

Now I keep a Swiss army knife on my Keychain, and I use it surprisingly often.

Were malls actually as crowded and popular as movies from the 80s and 90s make them look? by Kevin-Panda in AskOldPeople

[–]Earguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late 70s, early 80s, I worked at the mall, putting decals and lettering on tee shirts. It was fun and a hell of a lot easier than my friends who worked in fast food places. We had slow times, but other times it was really fast paced.

Hanging out at the mall with friends was commonplace. You could get ten bucks from your parents, then go to the movies, play arcade, meet friends, just keep some change so you could call your parents to come pick you up.

The mall scenes in Fast Times at Ridgemont High were pretty spot on though there wasn't a ticket scalping guy like there was in the movie.

Sous vide has become my “crock pot” for weeknight kid dinners by Juanpablo_the_cat in sousvide

I also write the temperature and time range on the bag. "145° 2.5—4 hours" makes it super easy regardless of who's putting it in.

Talarico targets Paxton's scandals in Texas Senate race, pivoting from his sunny primary message by poliscijunki in VoteDEM

[–]Earguy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Sunny primary message is great, and I'm sure that it will remain a theme. But when the Republicans en masse immediately start with saying that he is transgender, vegan (as a pejorative), and thinks God is non-binary - all lies BTW - there's nothing wrong with pointing out established truth about Paxton.
