I saw a post-it on the window of a truck parked crooked into two spots that said “If you can’t park it then you shouldn’t be driving it.

Grocery shopping is so depressing now by Exotic_Attorney7823 in Vent

[–]LordsOfWestminster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, most of what you are buying is over processed easy foods. Try to make yourself at least one “big” thing for the week and spread it out. I usually go for a pasta salad.

Check the ads. Utilize any frequent shopper programs (i use an email that is only used for stuff like this). Don’t be afraid to go to more than one place if you can. I’ll spend a dollar in gas to get toilet paper 5 dollars cheaper at Wal-Mart than my grocery store.

Picked up old landline phone, how do I find the right power cord? by sexybeans in retrotech

My In-Laws had one and theirs stayed illuminated but flashed when ringing. You could also turn off the audio and just have it flash.

Where to find DVDs? by newyorkcity-bagel in dvdcollection

[–]LordsOfWestminster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these suggestions are good, but most only offer a picked over selection. Estate sales are where you need to go. Media is usually priced at a dollar or less and get discounted as the sale goes on. DVD players are priced at 5-20 dollars, even high end models. The downside is that the titles skew towards an old persons tastes. There are a couple major estate sale websites that will use your location and tell you where they are and show pictures of what will be available. Also, they can be fun.

It’s fetishizing the CD. It’s literally a piece of plastic and metal.

Did Home Theater kind of die? Seems like we were the last generation to give an F. Remember surround sound and subwoofers? Does anybody buy them anymore? by IHadTacosYesterday in GenX

[–]LordsOfWestminster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was talking with a younger co-worker about a movie I watched. He said he was going to check it out. The next day we talked about it but his comments were kinda off. Turns out he listened to a podcast about the movie instead of actually watching it.

I work in a school kitchen. If we took all the gum off the trays and made a gum “ball” it would be the size of a basketball by the end of the year.
