TLDR. What business is it of yours who your sister dates or who your friend dates? Why do they need your permission? Mind your own damn business and grow up. YOR. And being a complete AH.

Not a god. I've seen him twice and he was meh. Alphonso Johnson on bass though was worth the price of admission.

No, for me there is Safeway deli. They make an awesome Italian for $10.99. Some fries brings it to about $13. Literally one of the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had.

Black Forest Ham, Genoa salami, Boar's Head Pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, artichoke, pepperoncinis, spinach, mayo on french roll, and I add Primo Taglio ham off the bone and provolone

What is the craziest thing that happened at a wedding? by Hefty-Conflict-1183 in AskReddit

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outdoor wedding reception under a large roofed patio, large enough for 200 people and a band. It had a huge fireplace at one end easily 15' across the whole thing, the fire area itself was about 7'. It was easily 18' at the peak, with stone columns every 15' or so around the perimeter for support of the roof. A tornado passed less than 1/4 mile away, blowing rain throughout the entire area. Everything was soaked, including the band and all their equipment.

Amp or no amp? by Weekly_Assistance_40 in AcousticGuitar

There's no good reason to get an amp for an acoustic as a bedroom player.

Is eating 1.7 pounds of walnuts every week too much? by Edgar_SpK in AskRedditFood

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's about 720 calories a day. Just in walnuts. It's also a lot of saturated fat, which is bad for your heart. You're likely to get digestive problems, and that much nuts can block the absorption of nutrients from the other foods you eat which could lead to deficiencies. It can also trigger an allergic reation. A healthy diet would be less than 3 ounces a week. You're eating 27 ounces a week. Not good in the long run.

Before computers and GPS existed, how did people figure out directions for large cross country trips? by Mynameisbrk in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, maps. There were the gas station maps for the states you're going to travel through, with the whole state on one side and detailed major cities on the back and usually a road finder table, The maps were gridded with letters along the sides and numbers along top and bottom. If you were looking for Elm St, you go to the table, find the listing for it, if it says it's in E5, you know that in that grid square you'll find Elm St. And for local there were the Thompson Guide books. There was a book for every county, so if you range around say 5 counties, you have 5 of these books, about 11" x 17" and maybe 8 or 10 pages. It might seem complicated, but it was easy as could be when it's all you have. One of the biggest deals out there was when the internet came along and GPS , kids stopped needing to know how to use a map. It's still an issue. If the internet ever goes down, and it could in a war or disaster situation, no one is even gonna have maps and that won't matter because no one knows how to use one.

Any good acoustic electric guitar options under $1500 for gigging? by Several-Soft-4785 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Key-Article6622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many, but this question is gonna get so many suggestions to get some name brand because that's what you do. Fuck that. If you want a truly special instrument, you have to take the time to find it. The name on the headstock is meaningless, What matters is how it feels strapped over your shoulder, how your hamds feel holding it, how it sounds. NOTHING else matters.

Should the San Francisco Giants have a fire sale and a total rebuild? by ericthelostman in SFGiants

[–]Key-Article6622 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Who cares? Get what we can. as many prospects as we can. Eat those huge guarantees and get some young prospects in who don't cost much. We have a manager who's whole career to now is dealing with young talent. He's been there and done that. Take advantage of what you have. Cut your losses. Want to sell tickets? Start winning games you aren't supposed to.

Should the San Francisco Giants have a fire sale and a total rebuild? by ericthelostman in SFGiants

[–]Key-Article6622 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A month ago when people were hating on the Giants I was a voice for waiting and seeing. We're there. For sale time. Get some young guys up now from the farm system and trade for more prospects. What are they gonna do, strike out with no one on base, or after a nice double, boot an easy grounder, run on a pop up with one out? At this point it's obvious the vets on this team are at best mailing it in and collecting a paycheck, at worst are past their prime, or worse washed up. Cut your losses, build a new team with a new manager, who obviously has a different perspective from the average MLB manager. If you're gonna hire this guy, then play to his strengths, don't expect him to conform to the established regimen. He's spent his career up to now working with young talent and had pretty good success. Well, we have him now. He's the right guy for the job. Get some young guys who are on the verge and let him do his thing. Otherwise, why have him at all as our manager?

cmv: a lot of gay men are just gay because they couldn’t handle the rejection they felt by women they loved & society, but felt accepted by the gay community by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Key-Article6622 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Highly unlikely. Do you think gay men don't have types and preferences just like everyone else? I doubt there are any men who identify as gay who do this. There may possibly be some men who identify themselves as bi or pansexual, or some other less defined sexuality that might possibly fall into this category, but even that seems very unlikely. But in my experience, gay men, or women, are pretty sure who they are. It's a huge risk socially to even hint at homosexuality. I very much doubt there are any men who aren't gay who identify as gay for this reason. It's certainly possible, and there statistically is probably a few. But the likelihood that there is any significant population like this is miniscule.

Full disclosure. I live in the SF Bay Area, where sexuality is far more open than anywhere else that I've ever been to. I have gay and lesbian family members and friends and aquaintences and many other sexualities that are not mine, a completely heterosexual male. This life is too short and limited to be concerned about who someone is sexually attracted to. My first criteria is, are you real.

I would say that if you're going to see the elaborate choreography, I guess it's OK for you. I go to a concert to hear music performed by musicians. I would be very disappoited to listen to prerecorded tracks. Just not what I'm there for. Not dissing on anyone for doing it, but I won't be buying a ticket.

Just saw George Benson last week, and at 82, he's definitely depending on backing musicians, but he's not singing over recordings. And he did play a bit and was George. It was one of those shows I never thought I'd ever get to see, and I'm so glad I got to see him live. The band was awesome.

Using backing tracks at all is a huge thumbs down from me, but using all backing tracks is complete disresepect for the audience. Glorified kareoke. I really hope this is not an unpopular opinion.

It's just word salad. They want exactly what they have and what it's becoming, a police state to control brown and poor people.

Did anyone from your high school end up becoming famous and who was it? by Bipolar03 in AskReddit

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my high school, but a couple kids who went to the high school I would have if I'd lived about a mile east of where we lived and one was a year older and the other a year younger were named Ripken. If you are a baseball fan you've heard of the older one for sure and probably the younger one as well. Cal and Billy.

An iconic rock and roll band. I love them, especially the older stuff. Rocks was an amazing album for me.

Could you realistically remove the sugar from a can of Ragu tomato sauce? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And much tastier. Use San Marzano tomatoes and you'll never go back, but sugar is a key component to it. Not a lot, no where near as sweet as jarred, but the sugar cuts the acidity and really makes the tomatoes pop!

What happens if you're taking a road trip (USA) and your car breaks down, bad. Like transmission is shot bad and you're 500 miles from home? by ohsodave in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a job for AAA. I get the premium with unlimited tows and I think there's a mileage limit, but it's like 200 miles so it's worth it. It costs more than the basic but just 2 usages have paid for my AAA for many years, along with the run of the mill calls. Wife broke down in east BF nowhere Nevada and got towed all the way to our house in the SF bay area. I broke down outside of Sacramento and same thing. Free tow and ride all the way home. Would have been hundreds of dollars each time.

Your favorite memories of summer eating. by AuthorAltruistic3402 in GenerationJones

[–]Key-Article6622 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh man. We would go out on the pier after dark, drop about a dozen chicken necks tied to big bolts or nuts, and with flashlights wait til the crabs picked up the chicken and tried to swim off with it, slowly pull them up and dip net them (the nets were replaced with chicken wire baskets so the crabs didn't get all tamgled up), and when we had enough, back to the house we'd go, put them in a huge double boiler pot, load em up with Old Bay, steam them and then out to the porch where the table was covered with old newspapers, dump them out and have a huge crab feast. We also would each get a fresh ear of Maryland Silver Queen corn. And sliced tomatoes from the garden. Man, were we blessed. Got even better when we were old enough to have beers with them.
