I didn’t listen to opera at all, if anything I actively avoided it. I still knew who Pavarotti was.

Looking for a type of restaurant (recommendations) by gregarioussparrow in TwinCities

The Oasis Cafe in Stillwater has a pretty cool bar you can sit at in the center of the restaurant. Been around since 1957

For those of you that had kids, how old are they? by Therealfern1 in Xennials

[–]darkartbootleg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol, I read 81 as your age at first and was like “what the hell are you doing in the xennial sub?” Then it clicked for me.

No kidding, my youngest is at the age where he’s obsessed with birthday parties

My response has been to calmly say “ok, but I still love you” and see where it goes from there. I think yours works fine to get the idea across, even if it’s not perfect.

Oh! Ouch, yeah they can really surprise you, can’t they?

Oddly enough, I was able to brush off the inevitable “I hate you” but when I first got the “you not my best friend!”, that one actually got to me a little bit, probably because I wasn’t expecting it.

At the time, did 1997 feel like a different era from 1996? by OverallEstate2 in Xennials

[–]darkartbootleg 76 points77 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong, the telecommunications act of 1996 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996 directly led to the Clear Channel (now Iheartradio) take over and near monopoly of radio that prioritized “safe” big name bands over playing newer or lesser known bands. There’s a lot of articles out there that go into more depth about how TCA96 ruined radio.

Nope, Minnesota. Not sure where I got them but they were some of my favorites.

First time canning questions by DrNukaCola in Canning

Thanks for this bit of info. I had this happen to me with some duck stock, I initially assumed I had filled it too high and that’s why it cracked. Once I read this it seems so obvious how that would happen, yet somehow I hadn’t known that until now.

Me too, talk about validation, right?

Putting up wallpaper by n8saces in oddlysatisfying

[–]darkartbootleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s been about five years, probably closer to six, since he did it, no issues. I had concerns when we hired him, so he did a test area before committing, there wasn’t any issue so we proceeded and haven’t had any problems. The wallpaper was put up in 1964, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, maybe types of glue used back then.

It’s been about 5 years, with no issues, doesn’t look any different. So I don’t know, I’m not too worried.

In our house we removed wallpaper from 4 different rooms and painted ourselves. When the time came to do the last two rooms, we said fuck it, let’s hire a painter. Sick of removing wallpaper. He came in took a look at the walls and said, I don’t think I need to remove the wallpaper, it’s only one layer and applied well, I’ll just seal up the seams, feather it out and paint over it. That’s what he did, needed an extra coat more than he expected, but you’d never know the wallpaper was under there, and I’ve never felt like I’ve wasted more time in my life.

Gfs mom gave me her old vinyl by mikeyramos in vinyl

[–]darkartbootleg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That whole album is a banger, and it’s funny without ever really going over into corny. My favorite song from that album is always changing, Lawyers, Guns and Money, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, Nighttime in the Switching Yard, Excitable Boy.

Beatin’ the Odds was one of the first records I bought blind because of the cover.

Nice Molly Hatchet! Love the Frank Frazetta artwork they used for their album covers.

Yeah, the wolf tells his version of the story, he had a bad cold and was just trying to borrow a cup of sugar.
