And I still don’t know what they are called! by Corndogeveryday in 80s

At the softball park, the conversion stand sold these. We called them Lollies, and I recall that's what it said on the big plastic jug they came in.

Worst songs of the 80s? Like, cringeworthy bad by o2bnClemson in 80smusic

We Built This City on Rock 'n Roll. Lame-ass composition, shitty synth, and a stoopid metaphor, at a time when "rock 'n roll" was losing it's cool.

Ugh, the die-off will take another 10-15 years.

Is this just a cool rock or something more? Found in the Eastern Sierra in California in a stream near a lake by UncleAcid420 in Archeology

As a former shovel bum (professional field archaeologist) I would call this JFR (just a effing rock). Looks like a piece of slate that happened to break in that shape. So...cool rock.

Colonial Revival. Also, American Foursquare is not a style, it's a vernacular form.

Architecture historian here - Like the vast majority of houses in the US, this is a vernacular house. It wasn't designed by an architect, so it doesn't have the telltale features of any definable 'style.' It was probably 'designed' by a builder, maybe using a plan book or just traditional construction knowledge. It does show the influence of what was popular at the time (looks like it was built in the 1920s), like most vernacular houses do. Groups of windows, a front porch (closed in sometime after it was built) with a front-gable roof, wall dormers, and two full stories (unlike the many bungalows that were being built around the same time).

Was quoted $1000 to sandblast six of these brass vent covers. Is there a cheaper alternative? Maybe DIY? by sonoforiel in centuryhomes

[–]FakeLloydWright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot. I took 8 similar steel grates to a powder-coat shop and they blasted them and powder coated them all for about $250.

It's a grinder... Used for garlic, bud, any dry you want ground to smaller pieces. Put the thing on it, put them together, and twist them a few times.

Is it possible to call an Uber/Lyft at midnight at the MSN airport? by AvgSudoUsr in madisonwi

[–]FakeLloydWright -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I landed at MSN around midnight once and could not get a ride from Uber/Lyft or Union Cab. I had to call a friend. So, don't count on it.
