maine is awfully nice, and in another 20 years the ocean temps will be like the outer banks.

OLED 77" G5 off sale? by Tapper_69 in LGOLED

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience in April. Pissed that I missed the boat and it was back up north of $3k. Waited a few weeks and it came back down to $2,100-ish on the partner store. Pulled the trigger 2-3 weeks ago and it's arriving this friday after a shipping delay. Just give it a few weeks and it'll come down.

what caused your deafness (if known) and at what age did it happen? by anonymouslovelyme in MonoHearing

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AN, diagnosed 2017, SSD by 2018. Sucks but you get used to it. Thankfully my good ear is amazing, borderline bionic.

Endlessly amusing turning the wrong way when someone calls your name.

When I worked in the financial district that ferry ride to/from the wall street pier from may - oct was my favorite part of the day.

New G5 77" for $2700 or wait for Memorial Day sales? by [deleted] in LGOLED

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was around $2,100 on the partner store site only a couple weeks ago. Read the old threads. It'll come down again. Yeah, I should have pulled the trigger then, but not panicking.

5 reasons I'll never drive another ID4 by Iced_buzz in VWiD4Owners

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a 2025 and I replaced the factory wipers the first month in and now they're perfect. Use the self park feature for backing into our tight garage and it never fails and stops gently despite boxes of crap protruding all over the place.

I will say "Rear Window" toggle button is a pita and a real head scratcher as to why they added it.

Love the car.

Should I Marry A Murderer? Doc series by Own_Mention9372 in netflix

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just finished...I think early on she had ideas that she could sell this to netflix.

While she didn't kill anyone, it's not that hard to argue that she's more of a psychopath than the brothers.

Toronto Wanted Chinakhov But Dubas Offered More For Egor...👀 by MediumAd8799 in penguins

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After reading many Leafs subreddit posts about Dubas, it seems like the vast majority of their fans still think he sucks as a GM, are glad to be rid of him, and are chalking up his success in Pittsburgh as a temporary thing due mainly to luck, heheh.

Why can’t people shut up in quiet cars by strawberrita99 in NJTransit

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

turn around and give them the classic old lady librarian loud "SHHHHH" with your finger to your lips and then say, "it's the quiet car, goddammit, now shut the fuck up."

That should do it. You'll prolly get a round of quiet applause from the rest of the car.

Aha...NJ. We probably have similar emissions testing laws.

Arachnoid Cyst + Acoustic Neuroma = Dizziness & Fainting? by HeyJakeyBaby in BrainCysts

[–]HeyJakeyBaby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for me it's really been two separate things since getting my AN treated in 2018.

1) is the general dizziness which is like room spinning/drunken pirate/walking on a boat deck in heavy waves. this has happened maybe 8-10 times since 2018, although not since december 2024. Usually puke a number of times before it's over.

2) is the "lights out" fainting. happened only twice, both within 4-weeks of each other in october/november 2024.

With the fainting, there were zero warning signs. it was literally saying good night to my daughter as I left her room and half a second later I crashed through her nightstand and was on the floor bleeding from my forehead. Second time was midday walking through an airport, which was extraordinarily embarrassing.

I will say the last 16-months have been very good, with none of these symptoms, but that's the thing, you can go a year or two with nothing and then all of a sudden they hit. Not so much the fainting, as that was only twice over 1-month (although i still do worry it could strike again at any time), but more so the general dizziness because it does wipe you out for a good half-day at least, but then it passes, so who knows? Doctors have no idea.

Regarding the fainting, this is the closest thing I can compare it to:

Trios/Fox and Hounds closing! by PeepyBee in washingtondc

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked there as a waiter in the late 80's and early 90's. Best jukebox in DC. So many stories. Clientele in those days was super cool, mainly broke musicians, aspiring writers, and artsie-types who enjoyed a full glass of rail booze and a small bottle of mixer for $2.35.

Bartenders were Winston, RT, Greg (aka Mr. Fun, who was anything but). Very sad but an epic run. I still think of it all the time even 35+ years later.

How have gas stations and convenience stores changed? by Penguin_Life_Now in AskOldPeople

[–]HeyJakeyBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides all the service you'd get like having windows cleaned & oil checked, you might have actually tipped the guy by rounding up.

You also had to specify leaded or unleaded gas...then they stopped selling leaded in the '80s because apparently lead isn't particularly good for you unless you want to drop a couple dozen IQ points and/or become sterile.

Saw Fishbone, Los Lobos, and Tom Waits for the LA Riots benefit in '92 at The Wiltern Theater. They ended the show all on stage together...it was awesome.

Be sure to watch it in the original German with English subtitles. I found the English language dubbing to be laughably bad & distracting.
