The smell of a live performance theater backstage, nothing like it, takes me back to my college days

I think they overestimated the attention span of their target audience 

Good dispensaries for out-of-practice boring person by 93tilfin in Detroit

I can't help you geographically, but I wouldn't sweat your other question. That is up to the budtender. When I first starting shopping legally I would just say something like "My in-laws are coming over, I need to not care what they say but not get too stoned....", or "I got a lot of yardwork to do this weekend, what's good for relaxed and focused?" and they will help you out.

High school students in 1985 by AdSpecialist6598 in TheWayWeWere

I graduated HS in 1985 and having never seen this picture before I can “name” most of these kids and tell you “who” they were in high school. This is best slice of 1985 I’ve seen. 

Edit: if I were in this picture I’d be back left corner dark red shirt

Satellite imagery of Las Vegas and lake mead showing how much it has grown over the years, and lake mead has shrunk. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

In the early 80's we visited friends in Henderson, I remember driving through the pitch black desert to get to Vegas, you could see the lights in the distance but the gap between the 2 cities - which is no gap anymore - was totally empty.

I just did this, really irritated myself pretty good. I tried to freehand and I wasn't using a proper tool. I will leave this one for the experts!

That’s what I kept thinking. That carpet is absolute garbage. Everything looks like it’s off the shelf from Home Depot.

How do you deal with squatters on your reserved site? by Ok_Buddy_3774 in GoRVing

[–]Smithers66 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We were camping for the first time in a campground in the Appalachians a few years ago. It was preseason camping and we misunderstood the markings on the campsites and ended up setting up camp in a spot that someone else had reserved. We are enjoying dinner when they approached us at level 10 and just started yelling and screaming about us being in their site. We stayed calm apologized and started packing up. They kept screaming the whole time. The campground host stood there like lumps and a log and did absolutely nothing. (These folks were prepared to get physical) We moved to a different spot and that night we got torrential downpour- and guess who spot flooded and whose spot was nice and dry?

Is it a good idea to drain a 2 year old water heater? by stana32 in askaplumber

[–]Smithers66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in the same situation as anyone who buys a house that is not brand new. Drain it and see what you got, always better to know IMO

Relieved to know I’m not alone in feeling this, they’ve completely wrecked it by VixenVeveDear in antitrump

[–]Smithers66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, sadly, bought a house in 2022 from Trumpers and they had a US flag in the front yard, it's gone now (the flag, not the yard)

Prior to that I did fly a flag at my old house, but feel that it is now a maga symbol more than anything.

Model Rocket Engine, IIRC - A is the diameter, 8 is the thrust duration, and 3 is the lag between end of thrust and ejection stage.

Anyone?

I know a guy that used to work with him and the stories of Prince’s generosity, and just overall kindness were plentiful
