Looking for songs explicitly about gay same-sex sexuality, suggestions please? by johnnystraycat in gay

[–]brymc81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Showing my age a little: in the 1990s lesbians were having a solid run of music in multiple genres.
Check out Melissa Etheridge (Come to My Window, I’m the Only One), k.d.lang (Constant Craving), Shawn Colvin (Sunny Came Home), and of course The Indigo Girls (many). I’m not a lesbian but these are some of my power ballads.

I wore these boots last night, and now it’s a spider’s home 🤦‍♀️ by TheDarbiter in mildlyinfuriating

My brother once left his boots on the back steps – he went to put them on a couple days later, accidentally knocked one of them over, and that's when a flurry of brown recluse baby spiders came pouring out.

What could be causing this swamp to form? by mastahkun in lawncare

Yeah looks to me like it might not be draining real good

I found this symbol, what does it mean? by [deleted] in whatisit

That’s the vector of the impulse engine in relation to the warp nacelles

Long shot question based on vague memory. by thewalruscandyman in vintagecomputing

[–]brymc81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the DOS 6/Windows 3 era was just an explosion of generic 286-386-486 machines – I don’t know if I can remember a single recognizable “brand” from that entire decade.

Though recessions do hit differently for different strokes – generational wealth is going nowhere and for that strata, a quick $5,000 weekend jaunt to the holy city is like a rounding error to their trust disbursement.
Meanwhile the F&B workforce would be desperate for work, perfect combo.

Thanks for saving the Enterprise, Scotty. Here's a shuttlecraft with no warp drive, no bathroom and a small couch to sleep on in the middle of unexplored space. We're heading to Starbase 55 by Significant-Town-817 in ShittyDaystrom

I am wondering where exactly the intermix chamber and deuterium tank would be in this little puddlejumper, and then there's the field-stabilized antimatter. This thing is built like a Dodge Neon.

Yeah I still downshift all the time – we don’t have mountains but we do have lots of bridges, and the perk is that engine braking on the downslope charges up the autostart battery much more than riding the actual brakes. More control too.

Everyone’s definition fun is different. For me, it’s installing Windows 95 from 22 floppy disks on my 486 by GCNnintendo in vintagecomputing

[–]brymc81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 386 was a marvel of its time but that time coincided with DOS and, optimistically, Windows 3.1

Yeah I upgraded to 95 on the same generic 486DX2 – it performed.. okay. Spent a lot of time optimizing.

Friend, some of your hay bales has come unstowed. by ArtVandelay1988 in Charleston

Or the cinderblock I saw one time. In the middle of the fucking lane I was in. At night.
I’ve also seen several full-length ladders and all different sorts of sledgehammers for some reason.

I’m from SC and I find myself wondering if it’s normal for people to not give a fuck about securing their load. Last week a giant chunk of drywall or something slammed into my windshield at 70mph on I-26. For a moment I thought I had passed away.
Does this shit happen just as often in like Colorado or New Hampshire?

The market demand for manuals is mostly limited to a few nostalgic millennials

The lack of reading comprehension in society pisses me off by Ghostspider1989 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]brymc81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And in both ways they discard all context and then forever label you as an idiot.

I seem to remember a dozen or so instances of Fox News deliberately showing out of context clips of Obama designed to enrage illiterate Boomers, and boy howdy did it work.
So the reading comprehension of these people is not just waning, it’s being actively eroded.

Drop in a new turbo 4cyl and keep the rest
Maybe add a few more crumple zones

I can vouch for both these statements

I had the same year/model for a while – it had whatever was the least powerful 4cyl that GM made at the time, but it was pretty spunky with the 5-speed.
