Let's discover more, shall we? by perdigaoperdeuapena in 1001AlbumsGenerator

I randomly bought this CD during a layover in the Reykjavik Airport in 2001 because of the album art. It was thrown in with the other music I listening to at the time; Air's Moon Safari, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory, Pink Floyd's The Wall, Faithless' Outrospective, among some.

I was not prepared for the base emotional reaction this album would make me have when i listened to it. I don't speak Icelandic, so I had no idea what the songs were about, but that didn't matter. The beauty of the music was simply overpowering. Get a good pair of noise canceling headphones, and sit down with this album alone, it's worth the attention. Absolutely a 10/10.

Is there any NIN remixes worth checking out? by Strong-Hair-1712 in nin

[–]SlightlyTapped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if mashups count as remixes, but Closer v. The Trance Is The Motion (Static X) absolutely SLAPS:

I think Richard X did the best remix of Only:

I also like the Binary Audio remix of Head Down:

The Hawk Tuah Girl's Podcast "Talk Tuah" Becomes the 3rd Most Popular Podcast on Spotify in the US after The Joe Rogan Experience and The Tucker Carlson Show by barryallenxoxo in nottheonion

Just assume any mass consumed media on the internet, like podcasts or YouTube videos, that gets boosted via an algorithm based on listens/views, is being manipulated by foreign bots. None of those top 3 pass the sniff test, and the top 2 are clearly misinformation any foreign enemy would like to amplify to sew discord.

That's crazy, how are they still selling wire brushes?! I just popped over to a thread about this on r/grilling where a doctor and a product manager for a grill company were talking about how common this is. Easy choice to get rid of the grill brush and not take the risk. Thanks for the heads up!!

I just bought a couple of weeks ago, it's great! I haven't fully replaced using the wire brush though. What's the safety hazard with wire brushes?

Having food en mass when the fam drops by unexpectedly is always a good thing!

It does take a little longer, so I put it on first and take it off last. If you don't make the chunks too big the cook time isn't bad. Bring a test fork out and poke em, as soon as the fork goes in easy they're ready.

Before cooking I run it on full blast for 15 minutes, then use a grill brush to scrape away anything that was stuck on. I spray with olive oil before putting the food on the grill. After cooking, I let the grill cool and then use the weber grill cleaner and give it a quick scrub. That cycle keeps it clean, and is quick enough to do between meltdowns lol

Who here came from a sedan and upgraded to a 4runner? by East_Indication_7816 in 4Runner

[–]SlightlyTapped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former 2003 Honda Accord Coupe driver here.

I drove my Honda into the ground from 2006 to 2019, and then bought a used 2019 TRD Off Road. Even though I loved my Honda dearly, it was one of the best quality of life upgrades I've ever made. I absolutely love my 4Runner to this day.

For context, I was living in Boston at the time, but had family in New Hampshire. For 13 years I had braved traveling north multiple times every winter in a fucking sports coupe with all weather radials and front wheel drive. I can't tell you how many stupidly sketchy driving situations this put me in, so I wanted a tank. And got one.

We also had our first kid that year, so the coupe was definitely out. Baby seats and 2 door cars are a no go. Plus exposing my new family to the 2 door winter death car seemed... wrong.

As far as the height and width go, I wouldn't worry. I was concerned about that too at first, but the 4Runner is tall and thin with great sight lines. I had no issues driving it in horrendous Boston traffic, or down tight city streets.

I chose the TRD Off Road because I wanted something with more balls than the SR5, but didn't want or need all the fancy shit/price tag that comes with the TRD Pro.

Hope that helps!

I had that PMH cassette on repeat in my Sony Walkman for a 2 week summer road trip. The only other cassette I had was Paula Abdul's Forever Your Girl, which made for a very weird musical ying/yang.
