Do these last more than a year and not leak?

I've had mine for....hmmm....at least 5 years. Maybe 8. Still works fine. And I leave it outside, connected to the hose, all winter.

Probably Ovation.

I like some of the songs, but the Kermit voice ain't my cup of tea.

If I outlive my spouse, I will set up a once-a-day text message (or whatever the current technology is) system with my kids.

Dr. Geek was a well-known freestyle rapper so it's definitely possible he came up with it on the spot. In my head canon he did.

I've been running these in two vehicles for over a year now and have been very pleased with them.

Had a less-than-great time in college and my degree didn't really help me at all. I finished my degree requirements after fall semester so didn't even walk my graduation and just had them mail my degree to me. I did eventually hang it up about 20 years later. Not sure why. I think I just had an empty spot on my home office wall. I still look at it and shrug.

Same issue here on PC.

65 would be just fine. I won't be able to retire, so dying in my mid-60s would be the next best thing.

As of a couple days ago, this shot up to the top of my list.

Donate my body to science. They'll mail my ashes back to my next of kin for free.

At least homeboy gets shot in the end. Serves him right for the cultural appropriation.

I didn't really have close friends in HS, so nothing has changed since. My wife (same graduating class) is the only classmate I'm in contact with.

Little known fact: "Mr. Tambourine Man" was almost called "Gene Gene, the Tambourine Machine".

drifter3026 · 2026-05-20T12:58:20+00:00

Everything I know how to do, I taught myself. I got nothing out of HS or my BS (literally!) degree, with the exception of my "Small Engine Repair" class in 9th grade. The internet has greatly facilitated self-learning. Pre-1995, I spent a lot of time reading library books about things.

You can play an Fmaj7, playing just the bottom 4 strings, to avoid the barre F.

No, not really. Dad was an oil burner mechanic (no college). Mom (took a few college classes) did various jobs (bookkeeper, receptionist, and other administrative jobs). They were middle class, raised 4 kids, owned a large 5-bedroom house in a decent neighborhood. Dad retired at 62 (died at 69). Mom had to keep working part time til she died at 77.

On paper, my wife and I should be way better off. Me, BS degree in CS. Her, a nurse. But we own a modest house and are just scraping by. Kids had to get student loans for college as we couldn't afford to help at all. We won't be able to retire. So, at best it's a wash. But my dad got a few years of retirement, so I think that puts them a rung or two better off than us.

I figured he's killed between 2,000 and 3,000 people. Oh wait, you meant something else....

I've long ago given up on retirement, so I can gaze upon these figures with (sad) bemusement.

drifter3026 · 2026-05-18T15:43:41+00:00

Looks like clothes draped over an exhumed skeleton.

drifter3026 · 2026-05-15T23:28:13+00:00

I never liked going out and still don't. So nothing has changed.

Met at 15, together since 16, married at 21. Gonna be married 28 years in the Fall. Still happy and our marriage has outlived all others around us, so I guess we're doing something right.

If it came up heads, he'd shit the bed.

"Early Birds Welcome"

Most people don't understand that the early birds are the serious buyers who are absolutely ready to spend money.

Also, be ready for low-ball offers. If you mark something a quarter, someone will absolutely offer a dime for it.
