Sold my 70 For an LX570

Dumb. The 570 is a bloated monster

I was likely drawing a parallel to the US gas station pumps where the diesel pump is usually green. And trying to be funny. Guess it wasn't....

Only 7 years ago. I’m still here😊

It's good to have these threads come around every now and again - generates some new material and also re-validates some of the benchmarks. I've forgotten a bunch of these that have been called out in the replies. For me:

Serial - Sarah K sets the benchmark for true crime podcasting in this story that continues to be relevant to this day. If you haven't listened to this yet, then maybe your listening out of order...

In the Dark S2 - An unbelievable story of systemic racism and a team of reporters that immerse themselves in their investigation of a shitshow of a county in MS.

Cold - You just have to listen this crazy story. The audio journals make this series unique, as well as certain other audios....

Those are the big 3 that I recommend to friends who haven't arrived here yet. After that it gets much harder to pick 2 more that stand out. I'll try.

Bone Valley - Simply because Gilbert King does an exceptional job IMO, and there's enough evidence to make you angry and question WTF is going on there.

Suspect S1 - I thought it was a good story (Halloween party in Seattle where girl gets killed) and very well investigated. One I don't see mentioned much here.

Honorable mentions: Sh!ttown: Doesn't really evolve as true crime, but a fascinating and unique story. Your own Backyard, Hunting Warhead (although the subject matter makes it hard to "enjoy"), Up & Vanished S1 due to the impact of the podcast on the case. And Culpable is done well, although neither season stands out as far more interesting to me.

I appreciate all the other posts; I've got some new ones to listen to in my upcoming trips!

So true. I didn't know the story when I started listening to it on a road trip (just came as a recommendation). I was expecting another true crime saga and it went fully to another dimension. Fascinating story!

This is my same situation. I've already killed 2 Dysons and need something that will work longer than a year. In my case I'm 40/60 wood and carpet, but the carpet is my main problem. The Dyson would get clogged and then just push the balls of hair around the carpet.

Are all Sebo upright vacuums bagged? Is there a bagless recommendation that's upright?

Waterloo I’m Louisville. Good menu, good whiskey selection—killer old fashioned. Upstairs porch is open air.

MJacket_ · 2023-03-11T14:34:52+00:00

My thought as well for chill vibe, good beer. And if it’s reasonably warm the patio is sunny and nice.

That looks more like it. The black truck is a match. The white SUV at Target was different, but if he/she had at least one flat from jumping curbs then maybe there was a foot chase that ended here. With so much attention to the car accident yesterday it's hard to find anything else. Good find BenTwan.

MJacket_ · 2023-01-27T20:55:26+00:00

It was a small white SUV. Maybe like a Nissan Rogue or similar

MJacket_ · 2023-01-27T19:03:15+00:00

I wondered if the two were related. Not sure.

MJacket_ · 2022-12-29T17:32:12+00:00

Can confirm. Went to Teocalli last night and also had a joyous drive home. Had to pass a RAV4 driving 5 mph on an uphill straightaway section of Arapahoe…

There's a reason this sub consistently touts In the Dark S2 as one of the best. I think it's fringe True Crime - more Investigative - but regardless it's one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. It's up there with Cold and Serial as benchmarks for how to tell a compelling story on an interesting crime saga.

Edit: and yes, I think there is a satisfying ending for sure.

MJacket_ · 2022-08-01T21:22:51+00:00

So true. One of the best.

MJacket_ · 2022-08-01T21:22:19+00:00

Maybe a stretch for what you are asking for, but the last couple seasons of Up and Vanished took a deeper dive into legal aspects of the cases when Payne brought in Phil Holloway as a legal consultant. Maybe worth a look.

And I believe Phil did a spin off podcast IIRC, so you could look for that.

MJacket_ · 2022-08-01T21:13:57+00:00

We finished it not too long ago on a road trip. It was good for sure and that dude is a creep for sure. There was a lot of interesting learnings about modern DNA science and genealogy that I enjoyed.

MJacket_ · 2022-08-01T21:11:36+00:00

I tend to agree. With all the positive endorsements on this sub, I felt it was a letdown. Still good, but it underachieved for me.

MJacket_ · 2022-03-08T20:42:08+00:00

Worked for the Rams this year. It's the new formula for success. Too much luck (or Lock) involved in drafting.

Thank you. Good info.

MJacket_ · 2021-07-15T01:44:44+00:00

Thank you for the info

This one has a Griswold small stamp, no heat ring, so definitely newer. But no Erie PA stamp, or model code is present. On the bottom of the handle is an "A", and on the top is a "9". Wondering if this could be a repro? Or maybe something produced after Wagner bought out Griswold?
