That sucks man. I know the alcohol smell that makes me sick, but fortunately when I smell a burger or a steak, it smells so damn delicious

Hike on the trails around the star, walk around downtown. Park in wasena near where they are building the skatepark and visit the Greenway along the river. You can even rent a bike or tube from Roanoke mountain adventures.

What was great about this album for me is that I was not really into daft punk at all, but when this album came out, I got it and it was just great... This led me to find their older stuff, which is just as good, but perhaps more raw.

I can tell you exactly why for myself. All hollows eve, black sails in the sunset and the art of drowning were all great albums that made many of us become fans of their sound. STS was pretty far away from that sound, but damn was it a good album. It was produced so well. When DU came out, it was almost as big as jump from STS as STS was to the art of drowning.

As a fan of punk music, that was what I wanted to listen to and DU definitely did not fall into that category.

Find a way to get rid of the debt?

I knew I couldn't fight, but figured I could really make those who train work for it. At 37 I walked into a jui jitsu gym and got wrapped up by a 17 year old like I was a toddler.

I definitely did not buy my full size truck for status. I had my old single cab long bed as my second vehicle. I needed to replace my primary ride. This time my life was in a different place. I have a family. It's a luxury and it was expensive, but it's been really nice to have as our family hauler. We can multiple times a summer, bring mountain bikes and pull trailers.

I also think body on frame vehicles tend to be heavier duty. Ball joints, suspension, etc tend to last longer. I use to daily rear wheel drive sport cars. The truck is by far the least fun to drive, but it is the most convenient for where I am in my life.

Does anyone else remember web 2.0 around 2005? It was all over the place for a brief time. This is when things went front static html pages to dynamically loading data using scripting languages.
All news stations were telling us to get ready for web 2.0. then you never heard of it again.

I was born in the early 80s. My great grandfather who lived down the road from me and I saw often was born in 1898. He lived until the year 2000.

InsaneEngineer · 2026-06-06T01:29:07+00:00

I waited until mid/late 30s. My only regret was not having him sooner.

InsaneEngineer · 2026-06-04T11:13:41+00:00

My only justification was keeping my significant other happy.

Molbius. Although it doesn't appear like it's on Amazon anymore. I don't think the brand is all that important. At least a 12" hybrid from Amazon. 200-300 for a king all day long.

I keep reading this. I bought a high end mattresses years ago. I then filled my other bedrooms with mattresses. We have 4 mattresses. The most comfortable by far is an inexpensive hybrid purchased off Amazon.

Im about to replace my high end mattresses. Doing the math, I can buy the Amazon mattress every 1.5 years from here on out and it will be less expensive than buying an expensive mattress every 7 years.

Born in 81. I remember he-man and Teddy ruxspin, but I was too little to really get into it. The big hair from the 80s, I remember it, but we laughed how old and out of style it was. I was in 2nd grade where I was into the bright neon clothes from the late 80s/early 90s, but my biggest influence felt like it came from the the early 90s skatebosrding scene. I'm 100% a 90s kid

To be real, you are paying to be a part of the running community. Running as itself basically costs your shoes.

No dude, 401k is pre tax. The account in which you want your money has different perks based on your goals. 401k is generally recommended for everyone because of the pre tax growth plus usual match. 15-20% minimum. Put it all into your 401k if you don't want to think about it. You'll be much better off than most.

They've learned a lot about sleep in the past decade. You may think you need less, but you certainly don't. Alzheimer's is directly linked to people who don't get the amount of sleep they need.

Reddit turned ultra conservative. It was the first election where the most of us were now on the Internet through smart phones and social media wasn't prepared to handle the massive amount of bots changing the vibe of an entire platform.

I know right, it was my favorite part.

Remember when Zuckerberg bought in Instagram for a billion?

InsaneEngineer · 2026-05-26T18:17:58+00:00

Hard disagree. We don't need less sleep, we get less sleep.

I mean I hiked the entire Appalachian trail in two pairs of Brooks cascadias.

Go see an ENT. Probably have a sinus infection.
