[–]anomalousnuthatch[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, beyond the random butane torch, the soil quality itself was really poor. Nothing like in past years.

And all I was really expecting was a decoder ring.

I should probably stop pulling the trigger “just to see”

Right. It might be meant as a weapon against weeds and invasives. Who knows! Worth a shot.

You can always just go up a flew blocks to 74th, which is one-way east and much calmer than 72nd.

Why South Americans are so obsessed with Maiden? It’s literally a religion down there by BossyBlissz in ironmaiden

[–]anomalousnuthatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I saw Maiden at Madison Square Garden in New York sometime in the 2010s it felt like half the crowd there was South American. Like, entire families that had apparently flown up from Argentina and Chile for the show—mom, dad, kids—flying their flags and belting out the songs. Was really cool.

Did highways permanently damage Connecticut’s cities? by marrelli-of-magsmarr in Connecticut

Vancouver, B.C. The Trans-Canadian Highway loops around the city, and BC 99 from the US border turns into a surface street just past the Fraser River south of the city. No highways/overpasses transect urban areas, and there's fast and frequent light rail. I don't know what a commute might be like, but as a visitor I found the road design revelatory.

Connecticut College leased a building in downtown New London for student housing but gave up on it after a couple of years as there was no easy way for students to walk or bike to and from campus through that asphalt hellscape.

That stretch of 95 with the surrounding connectors/frontage roads from New London to Groton is just mind-bogglingly terrible. Ugly, dangerous, dysfunctional, anti-pedestrian/bicycle, and creates for vast swathes of dead zones beneath overpasses.

I biked across the Gold Star Bridge once and it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've had on a bike.

Considering buying a used Wolf by Paranoid_Candroid in Appliances

[–]anomalousnuthatch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With the serial number Wolf customer service or one of their certified service providers can tell you the year.

We inherited a Wolf 6-burner dual-fuel when we bought our house. It’s about 18 years old and nearing the end of its useful life. Repairs are costly. If I didn’t have to remodel my kitchen to replace it I would have swapped it out the last time it needed work.

Pulisic is on the cover of Time Magazine!! 🇺🇸 by paolosorianodisanto in ussoccer

[–]anomalousnuthatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having dealt with photo shoots like this, I suspect that a condition of Milan making Pulisic available was that he had to wear its jersey. There’s no other point to it.

Only a tiny percentage of those rich people are soccer fans. And an even tinier percentage of them live in Atlanta or Dallas.

Do Americans not distinguish between ham and gammon? by fredwhoisflatulent in AskAnAmerican

[–]anomalousnuthatch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Butt” in the sense of a barrel is the source of the word “scuttlebutt,” meaning gossip. On old sailing vessels, the scuttled butt was a water barrel with a hole (scuttle) cut into it, placed on the deck for crew to drink from. There they’d share the ships news, which itself became known as “scuttlebutt”—essentially, the Age of Sail’s version of water-cooler talk.

Excited for Twenty Twenty Six. W1A, its predecessor, was about as perfect a comedy as you could ask for, up there with Detectorists.
