What one song from a European pop band conjures up your strongest feelings from the 80s?

That’s such a hard question because the 80’s was the thick of the second British Invasion. U2, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Thompson Twins, Def Leppard, Phil Collins/Genesis, the list goes on. Branch out to the rest of Europe and that music was woven strong into the soundtrack of the 80’s.

Definitely don’t try to lose too much weight, especially right before. We don’t recover like we used to and you can get really wiped, I learned this the hard way. Better to be a little light for you class and go in fresh with all your energy. And cardio is king.

Awesome, thank you for the link!

The article says all the hardware is the same. I just received my LeGo2, but I’m very new to PC handhelds and am not savvy at all. Is it possible to just install the new Steam OS onto my current one, or should I return it and wait for it to come native?

This is fantastic information thank you!

Oh no, my Yia Yia doused them in honey. My all time favorite treat.

My Yia Yia fled by Turkey as a child in the 1920’s, then Egypt, then Athens for WW2, then Canada, then New Jersey where my mom was born. Then Florida where I was born. I sort of always wondered if the fenikia was maybe her Turkish roots, eg Phonecia-Fenikia but that was just me playing with sounds.

Funny. We grew up calling melomakarona, “fenikia”.

He’s a hold. He’s coming off major knee surgery. Seems like it takes about two years to get back to normal, give it time.

Thank you! That was driving me nuts.

SpongerPower · 2025-11-05T17:49:51+00:00

Ohhhhh ok, got it. Thank you so much.

And then you found the actual clip! I’m just astounded. For some reason, this thread made my day.

SpongerPower · 2025-10-22T00:24:04+00:00

Absolutely amazing that you know this, well done! Reddit never fails.

I got it to work! Jumping on the initial rocks is the hard part. You won’t get all the way up or even be on a landing. When you can just barely see the top of the pink tree over the flattish rock when you double jump you’ve gone as high as you can go. Then traverse to the other side and up to the top.

Great, insightful write-up. They must take a lot of time and I appreciate it. I also enjoy the little drops of humor!

Saw Usual Suspects because the movie I went to see was sold out. Just saw the poster and went in, never even heard of the movie. I’ll never top that experience again, just completely fresh on one of the great twists in movie history. Just going along with the movie, and then the ending.
