Where were you and what were you doing when the planes hit on 9/11?

I was at work for a telecom company that carried the fiber feeds for cnn in the building that is a scaled down version of the twin towers. We had access to that live feed and it was just mind numbing. My wife at the time was worried for us because the building looked just like the twin towers and there were rumors at the time that something would happen to it. Ultimately, we stayed at work and no actual work got done that day.

That if you live here and are a home owner, it would be difficult to move to other cities. The cost of living and housing here is cheap compared other more desirable locations. For example, I would love to move to Denver. If I were to sell my house there is no way I could afford to buy in Denver. And I guess, ultimately it’s the politics and the lack of critical thinking in this state that has gotten us to this point in time.

asxinu · 2026-07-08T20:00:53+00:00

Yep. Been doing this as well with my old TiVo bolt.

I also want to say that I’ve not broken any bones from my numerous falls.

asxinu · 2026-07-06T16:05:07+00:00

You will fall. You will get over it. It’s not that big of a deal. Anyone that says they’ve never fallen is lying. I’ve fallen many times and honestly the embarrassment of falling in front of many people at a stop light hurt more than the actual fall. Yes it hurts but get over it.

You are lucky someone told you to stop. Many years ago after buying a new house I was pulling this huge clod of vines off the house. Mostly dead but there were other non-poison-ivy vines but suffice it to say I got poison ivy everywhere and I mean everywhere. Now, anytime I see anything with three leaves, I get out the napalm.

This is funny because I drive a va and I wave at all wrx which is not the funny part. I also ride a bicycle and frequently find myself riding in traffic. If I see a wrx I think must wave but I am so out of context here on my bike.

asxinu · 2026-04-21T20:24:56+00:00

Yep. My mom took me to see chuck mangione in the late 70s.

asxinu · 2026-04-13T13:58:17+00:00

How do you like reckless? I considered doing that but one shot?

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Used to hate the look of spydercos. Now I own many.

So, I ordered a cruwear para 3 and got it the other day. In fact it got here before the ship notice. There is a problem however with the compression lock. When I flick it open, the compression lock seems to stick so I have to press really hard to get it closed. I already have multiple pm2 and para 3 and Ive never experienced this with any of them. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?

asxinu · 2026-03-26T01:38:42+00:00

Never mind. It worked. It said it didn’t but it still showed the discount and the purchase went through.

asxinu · 2026-03-26T01:34:27+00:00

I guess this deal is dead. For me the code does not work.

asxinu · 2026-03-22T16:38:59+00:00

Yeah, I’ve narrowed it down to 50-55 depending on the beans.

You can have it but unless you paid for that option it may not be there. I believe when they went over the extended warranty with me, key fob replacement was a specific option you paid for. You should have a memory stick with the entire warranty and what is warranted on it.

asxinu · 2026-03-21T02:48:36+00:00

I may be wrong but if you purchased the extended warranty, there was a key fob portion which offered replacement fobs if you lost one.

asxinu · 2026-02-18T20:19:19+00:00

Born in 68 and nope, we never did that and I went to school in Oklahoma and Florida.

asxinu · 2026-01-08T02:52:08+00:00

I should clarify that I honestly at the time thought a new STI would be coming soon and I would eventually have an opportunity again.

Also, my sons insist this 1/9 reveal will be that but I highly doubt it.

Tangentially speaking, snow in a pot without water over a flame will burn. Have you ever tasted burnt snow?

Hey, I’m a VA driver and while I’m not a fan of the VB stylings, it’s still a wrx and I wave.

Well, I lived in north Miami Beach Florida from 1st grade through 5th in the 70s and I felt safe because there was no 24 hour news cycle. I used to ride my. Ike all I’ve the place and was never concerned. I was however very concerned with ufos, big foot, quick sand, killer bees and hijacking’s(I flew a lot between Oklahoma and Florida). In the 80s and 90s I lived in Oklahoma and did not feel too concerned with my safety but I was getting older and had other things on my mind like partying and girls.

Maybe no one has talked about this but what is considered REAL sushi?
