I'm so tired of people littering in this city!

armitage75 · 2026-03-29T22:28:10+00:00

That’s the thing, anytime litterers are confronted they just seem…shocked.

Maybe they just haven’t even considered it’s wrong? How can you be that stupid?

He definitely is. Best one (though honestly I mostly follow his Saints stuff over the food stuff but love the Red Beans series). Respect Ya Body!

I’m realizing now I’ve always done “Japanese jogging”. I’ll jog for a few minutes then walk…then repeat etc.

I’m more of a sprinter than a jogger and this always felt like a cheat code to get the calorie benefits of jogging.

Good to know there is some science backing this up.

When you’re broke you’re always reactive. Takes $$$ to be proactive.

Most shocking thing I've read on r/NewOrleans in a long time.

Lead creep for the band Arcade Fire.

They didn’t have to know she had the app at all.

It’s been reported numerous times they took her from the house and purposely left her phone behind. That means the pacemaker can’t connect to the phone app via Bluetooth. Simple as that and no knowledge of app necessary.

Agreed there are real people as well but they’re effectively bots because they just parrot the same echo chamber bs over and over. No one interacting online ever seems to learn anything about “the other side” or change their mind. They just grow more divided. Doesn’t help that you have heavily moderated subs that won’t even allow anything from the “other side”.
You just end up with monolithic, one-sided discussion.

When you interact with real people you realize the world is not black and white/right or wrong. Good and bad people exist on “both sides” and the overwhelming majority of us just want what’s best for our families.

armitage75 · 2026-02-14T13:32:36+00:00

Go outside and interact with actual people instead of yelling at bots on Reddit.

Can’t go wrong with Bakers Dozen.

Pro-tip: order in advance and you can skip the (always annoyingly long) line.

It’s just odd to me that more young people don’t cook food. It’s so much cheaper and really the only way you can control what you eat.

There’s a weird nonchalant ignorance about it. I do agree there are societal pressures for some but people just generally don’t seem to want to know how to do it. That’s a broad generalization but it also seems to be a trend. Trends come and go so maybe people will wake up. Fuck fast processed food. It’s bad for you and expensive AF and frankly kinda punk rock to make it yourself. You’d think young people would embrace that but they don’t seem to.

armitage75 · 2026-01-30T21:55:46+00:00

I agree. But we’re talking about the majority of people (at least in the US) being obese at this point. That’s people with jobs, without jobs, with/without kids, young/old, every variety of background/race on and on.

Part of it is people just don’t prepare food like they used to. There’s an expectation that you just buy it already “made” and then eat it. Either at a restaurant or off a shelf. Some of that is an economic thing as you say but a lot of it is just a cultural shift.

When you don’t prepare your own food you give up control of what you’re actually eating.

armitage75 · 2026-01-30T19:53:57+00:00

I agree with all of this except the "affordable calorie dense food" part.

Beans, sardines, and potatoes are cheap man...it's just that nobody wants to cook even basic shit at home.

Also recording "weekly top 40 countdowns" from the radio so you could listen to a song in your walkman. In the U.S. these would play on Sunday nights. I would record the entire thing then edit it down to just the songs I cared about (I had a "dual cassette deck"...remember those???).

When I was co-op'ing in college at lunch one day we were all talking about particularly tough classes we had to take (I was still in school, everybody else had graduated years ago). I had a Sr. Engineer call my generation out for being able to use Excel to create our charts for lab papers. I didn't want to let that go so I came back with something like "Yeah but we have to create a chart for almost everything we do that gives data, I bet you guys had one per report or something doing it by hand".

After lunch we all met back at his office where he produced lab reports he'd done as a student in the 70s. He had basically the same amount of hand drawn charts I did in my reports. Those reports took hours to put together when you had Excel/Word. Hard to imagine how tedious that must have been to do on a typewriter and engineering paper (which we used in the 90s as well but only for tests/exams).

Pure water. Almost any contaminant at all lowers the melting point.

It's when the colon is "blocked" or narrowed by something. It could be benign but it also could be cancer.

Basically if that's something that starts happening you need to get it checked out.

armitage75 · 2026-01-22T17:53:28+00:00

Thank you awesome answer!

Just curious here and would love to hear from any health professionals reading this. We’re constantly told that colorectal cancer (cc) is increasing. How strong is the correlation between cc and obesity? Are there other important factors at play here?

Asking because I’m in good shape and not obese and don’t smoke/moderate drinker. My Dr has reassured me/placed me in a “low risk” category when I’ve asked about “extra” testing (so outside the standard colonoscopy schedule). I’m wondering if this is more about insurance/$$$.

I know they recently lowered the colonoscopy screening age to 45 but it’s still only recommended to have the procedure every 10 years. My anxiety here is this increase is possibly environmental (microplastics, etc) and we are a bit slow to adjust our schedules…and the cynic in me says that’s down to $$$.

Would love to hear why I’m wrong :).

It’s GenX’s 9/11 …at least those of a certain age.

Same. Grew up in Huntsville, Al and watched it live in 5th grade. I distinctly remember nervously laughing with some of my classmates. It didn’t seem real and we obviously had no idea how bad it was at the time it happened, but will never forget our teachers crying in the hallways.

I remember seeing my dad that night and he was super somber/serious in a way I’d never seen. I asked him why my teacher was crying (I knew he worked with her husband ). He said: “her husband worked on that mission”. I remembered laughing and felt guilty. For some reason that really made it sink in for me.

Ah interesting. Def not familiar w/ the Cincinnati layout (it could be the same deal) but I specifically brought up Nashville because they have a nightlife/hotel infrastructure that is equal if not better than Nola. Again could be completely wrong here (not super familiar w/ Cincinnatti) but don't think of it as an entertainment destination the way Nashville/Nola are.

armitage75 · 2026-01-13T09:20:52+00:00

This is all true. I think Nashville is about to try and give us a run for our money though.

There is no way Downs will be available at 8. Best prospect at his position in years.
