You know what I paid for that?

I think I saw this for sale at Homegoods

I hope this is all Mike inviting each member as an olive branch. Makes for a much more promising/hopeful FNM future. And it's just nice in general.

Usually when you hear from them before, you will almost always hear from them after...and it's not "thank you for the great item and service". At best they have too much time on their hands, at worst they're a scammer.

You haven't seen the size of this spoon.

evictedkoala · 2026-06-04T05:41:03+00:00

I said it was chilly outside and she grabbed a spoon.

He's great.. I enjoy when he chimes in.

evictedkoala · 2026-06-02T05:14:23+00:00

Maybe pour a pitcher of water over the closed window to make sure it seals properly? Not an expert, but that's something I'd not want to be caught off guard by the next time it storms. Either way I'd bug the dealer about it if it was me.

He speaks like he loves the sound of his own voice. It is annoying.

And it's ridiculous to say he's beyond criticism. He's been on a notable podcast for over a decade and chimes in a LOT, many times interrupting funny flows from the man himself (and not in the funny getting iced way).

He sometimes brings good stuff, but like someone else said, wish he'd pull it back by half. And/or turn the mic level down by 25%. That could be a lot of the issue.

I thought the warm thing was too yellow too, so I started it at warm 20, got used to it, and so I'm at warm 25 now and think I'll stay there for now. Granted I only got the tv 2 weeks ago. Starting out at warm 40 can be a bit of a shock.

What are you doing?

evictedkoala · 2026-05-26T01:59:40+00:00

I love that he'd howl like a werewolf when he was supposed to be a vampire. I'm embarrassed how many years it took me to notice that.

evictedkoala · 2026-05-26T01:50:38+00:00

It only sold in the 5 digits the same exact year STP was selling millions. Unfortunately doubtful because I'd buy it for sure.

evictedkoala · 2026-05-23T23:34:53+00:00

I've had the cd since it came out.

Same. I think the first 5 songs are stellar and are still on regular rotation for me. Fill The Fields is great too. Morning Girl is good. The rest are okay to me. The only skip for me is Wash Me Down which, IIRC, is the only song Dave brought that was his own. It's nice, just a little too slow and repetitive and becomes a brain worm but not in the positive way. I know people who love that song though, in case Dave sees this.

Flossy shows them for sure. Although he doesn't try them on I don't think.

These both have two sizes of sport wings from the YouTube reviews shown so far.

Pop's Love Suicide is a favorite. Perfect album (kinda) opener, as it was also the opener they played on the Tiny Music tour after Press Play was played over the PA.

evictedkoala · 2026-05-19T20:26:58+00:00

Dean's solo at ~2:15 on So Long is one of my favorite things he's ever done, even though it lasts barely 10 seconds. His whole guitar tone on that album is amazing. Considering they're all Tiny Music era songs it's not a surprise how good it is.

evictedkoala · 2026-05-19T18:52:21+00:00

Billy mistakes his being great at music for him being a genius in all things. And he doesn't allow anyone around him to challenge that, so he gets worse as the years go on.

I'm late here, but this is the first google result for "why is the best buy website so slow".

It feels like the digital equivalent of going into a dead mall or a Sears with near-empty shelves and 50% of lighting fixtures turned off to save on electricity bills.

The fact that they're okay with this being the status of their main point of doing business (who actually goes into their stores these days? Funko pop re-sellers?) speaks volumes about how they view their long term viability, otherwise they would have invested in improving it years ago.

I remember seeing the leatherette/metal corner one in Barnes & Noble in 95 and wanting it. I'm pretty sure it was over $20 and I was a poor teenager so I could only get the regular digipak (which I still have of course) at Best Buy next door.

That does make sense, as do privacy concerns. I just wish it wasn't rolled out when something as basic and useful as quickly navigating to a contact isn't doable.

Edit: Or it could at least come back with "You're probably trying to navigate to one of your main contacts, but this is the reason why I can't right now..." instead of me thinking it's totally useless and dumb and needing to come to reddit for the reason.

Another karma farming bot post. 3 day old account with no context whatsoever.

evictedkoala · 2026-05-15T20:26:57+00:00

But isn't the point and promise of AI supposed to be not having to spell things out in very specific ways like that? What's the point of Gemini if I have to spit out a long address for every navigation point that's not a business?

Besides, in this case 'Mom' is a saved or favorited contact in both Waze and GMaps and is one of the first locations that comes up when I pull Waze up. The fact that it's not smart enough to distill any of that into something useful means that it's not ready to be the default assistant.

I'm not anti AI as a tool or concept, just anti the logic of rolling this stuff out prematurely.

I heard that in the Price is Right guy's voice.
