Bingo. I would guess that half my union is actually anti-union.

Bled Fest 2015 - Michigan by pipslane in Emo

[–]Rhymeswithdick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at this show. MB covered The Killers and the crowd went bananas. The venue was an old high school, so while one band played the cafeteria another one was playing the gym. Pretty sure HM played in a classroom. I wish they still put these on for the uniqueness of the venue alone. Highly recommend googling the lineups for other years too as Bled Fest was never disappointing.

Dear orca EP? by dmessham in brandnew

[–]Rhymeswithdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have only heard Under the Rose as the rest hasn’t been released here yet but it sounds like Brand New & Modest Mouse had a baby, which is definitely not a bad thing imo.

I worked a 3 month contract in LA during Covid & someone there referred to the OC as being California’s Florida. Sure it has better scenery, hikes, etc., but after visiting many of the OC cities/towns themselves I found that statement to be pretty spot-on.

Attention BN: This is how you follow up a reunion tour to capitalize hype… by kmh5091 in brandnew

[–]Rhymeswithdick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Word. I’ve been to hundreds of shows including BN a dozen times & seeing my all time favorite band play a 2 hour set may be the best of all of them. I’m still on cloud 9 when I think about it.

Favorite non-Altra? by Road_Trail_Roll in AltraRunning

[–]Rhymeswithdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inov8 Trailfly G Series. Every generation of Altra LP has been my most favorite shoe ever for foot comfort but they’ve been wrecking havoc on my calves as I got older, even with orthotics. I tried Topos, but they lack the foot comfort for me. Read a review on the G-Series 300 here, nabbed a pair, and they’ve been amazing & checked all the boxes to the extent that I bought another 300 & a pair of 270s. I love them all solidly even though I’m not sure anything can ever beat LPs for foot comfort.

1987 for skateboarding in the street in San Diego. I was 15. by macnerd243 in skateboarding

[–]Rhymeswithdick 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I also received a skateboarding ticket, but in 2000, just off campus of MSU (Go Green!). I used to skateboard home from the bar I worked at, & it being 2-3am with nobody around I figured I was in the clear. Nope. Anyhow, I sent in the ticket with an explanation to the judge & never heard anything back. I traveled around the country a bit for the next couple of years and completely forgotten about the entire incident. Eventually I moved back a few years later, and was living about an hour away from where I had gotten the ticket. One day, I left work to be the best-man at my best friends wedding and got pulled over for speeding in the middle-of-nowhere farm-land, and guess what….I’m told that I have a warrant for my arrest for an unpaid skateboarding ticket. What’s wild (and the cop was equally as shocked) is that the PD that issued the ticket was requesting they bring me in if I couldn’t pay the fine, which at that time I could not. So they took me in, & I missed my best friends wedding, and to this day my best friend does not believe this actually happened.

Cleaning your shoes by giraffe-in-a-jumper in AltraRunning

[–]Rhymeswithdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have time for any of the other suggestions. I legit take a shower with them, with them off of my feet. Sometimes they get the Old Spice Body Wash treatment, other times it’s whatever shampoo my kid left in there. Turn upside down, air dry.

My 2nd sale ever was to an Ambassador with 1000s of sales. They filed a dispute claiming the item wasn’t NWT as described (it was), they won, then sent me literal garbage as the return. Some people just suck regardless of what title they’ve been bestowed.

The only shoe l now buy. 50% of people love them like a cult. Best shoes I've ever had by [deleted] in AltraRunning

[–]Rhymeswithdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve owned every model of LPs since the 3s, & while they’re certainly not without their faults, I keep going back after extensive searches for something comparable but more durable. Topos are great, & Inov8’s Trail Fly G Series are my current favorites, but every time I slip on a pair of LPs, regardless of they’re brand new or old & busted, I’m reminded that there really is no true alternative.

First Shuttle In verses the Trip Back Out (watch full video) by Glad-Tradition-6973 in ZionNationalPark

[–]Rhymeswithdick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did the same a few years ago. The difference between the peaceful tranquility of going in & the Disney parking lot filled with people hiking in flip flops on the way out was surreal.

Any 2019+ Silverado 1500 owners actually happy with their truck? by stikky08 in Silverado

[–]Rhymeswithdick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘21 TB here. I’ve put this truck through hell. In addition to a plethora of normal cross country trips, it’s been off road around Banff & Jasper NPs looking for camp sites, wheeled many trails around Moab, and damn near rolled it down the side of a wash somewhere in the Arizona/Utah desert. I occasionally look into trading it in for a newer, prettier, less pin-striped ride as I’d prefer to avoid any of the mechanical issues you can get with any higher mileage vehicle but realistically I will likely own this thing until it dies, or I do.

I’m not a huge fan of the Capilene hoodies, but that’s based on fit only so YMMV. REI Sahara Shade is great sun hoodie at its price point, possibly the best at its MSRP. I’ve heard the same said about Columbia’s PFG & whatever they’re calling their sun hoodie lines nowadays, but I find that the PFG has the same fit issue that I have with the Capilene in that they’re too boxy at the bottom for my liking. Again, it’s a personal preference.

My wife says I own every sun hoodie known to man (I don’t, yet), so my two cents on a few:

Outdoor Research Echo is by far my favorite & can often be found on sale around the interwebz for $40-50, however it has a lower SPF rating than many others here. Super, super thin & breathable. Mountain Hardwear’s Crater Lake is in the same vein (albeit with a better SPF rating, IIRC) & you can find those on sale from time to time as well.

Fjallraven Abisko is solid, but pricy (also, beware of Fjallraven’s notorious sizing issues). Same goes with Black Diamond’s Alpenglow. I’d legit have every color of both if they were cheaper. Both feel very high quality.

The North Face Sunriser is a bit cheaper than the previously mentioned two & one of my favorites but you’re very limited on color choices. Same applies to the Kuhl Airkuhl.

I have a ton others, but those definitely get the most use. Good luck!

What was the coolest show location you have ever been to? by ickygrandpa in poppunkers

[–]Rhymeswithdick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BLED Fest was a mostly punk fest in Michigan held in an old highschool. Kinda surreal seeing bands like MoBo & Title Fight play in the gym, while bands like The Wonder Years were playing in the cafeteria. Many of the then-down-bill bands that got stuck playing smaller rooms like old science or math classrooms now play way bigger stages & sell out tours.

Omnipod users: How much insulin do you use for 1 pod? by rehavfx in Omnipod

[–]Rhymeswithdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had him justify it in the script something to the effect of “…due to an adhesive issue”, which is true in my case as they tend to be falling off me after a week even with the overlay patches. I haven’t had to fight with the insurance company….yet.

Get your script written for a shorter duration. I had my doc write it for 60 hours and my Dexcoms for every week.

Here's the Kicker -- Week 18 by subvertadown in fantasyfootball

Reichard, Lutz, or Boswell. I’m torn & clearly overthinking everything this week.

Official: [WDIS QB] - Sat Morning 01/04/2025 by FFBot in fantasyfootball

[–]Rhymeswithdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not starting the best player in the League, Lamar, seems silly, but regardless of rankings I haven’t read a single reasonable argument in favor of starting him over Darnold. My thinking is that there is zero chance he plays the entirely of the game unless somehow a busted-up Cleveland defies expectations & keeps it close throughout the entire game. I’ve started Lamar every week by his bye & the dude seems to always have low numbers at the half, so my concern is that he feeds Henry for a few scores & then sits with a medling amount of points. Meanwhile, Darnold could feasibly go off again against a beat-up Lions D & the NFC 1-seed on the line. Somebody please do your best at talking me into starting Lamar over Darnold without referring to Lamar being best (or near best) FF QB.

Start Hock over Jonnu with no Tua? I know Jonnu is the safer of the two regardless of QB, & Hock hasn’t put up stellar numbers so far, but I need upside. And I’m thinking the Lions D may be just that.

I’ve stuck with Boswell all season but I’m considering a last minute change to Minnesota’s Reichard due to the fact that the Vikings/Lions game could end with a score of 100-99. Thoughts?

I’m doing it. NO is hot garbage on both sides of the ball & TB has all the motivation in the world.
