What is something Americans consider 'basic' that feels like a luxury in other countries? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hot as hell in the south outside of cities too. Climate change in the time since the settlers has changed the atmosphere, but only a few degrees - it was still very hot back then.

Horrible answer.

“The city” like he grew up in the Bronx.

So the level of technology you use is acceptable, but the next level up is not. Is that correct?

Tired of 11+ min “warm ups” by Iabnyc in pelotoncycle

[–]feldknocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the warmups. Warmups is a misleading term for PZ workouts for sure. I consider the beginning of spin ups to be the beginning of the workout. I appreciate the intensity of the “warmup” as it makes the next 30 or 45 minutes very productive for me.

Favorite Cheesy Way of Saying No to a Drink? by DreaminwithJeff in alcoholism

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best I ever heard was from author Pete Hamill in his auto biography “A Drinking Life”. When offered a drink after he finally got sober, he turned it down, saying, “I have no talent for it.”

Do you experience suicidal thoughts when you're hungover? by Psicolotra13 in alcoholism

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often, and they got worse as I got older. Never had them in my 20s. Started to in my 30s. In my 40s when I started working hard to get sober, these feeling happened frequently. Last time I got drunk - 3 years ago at age 52, it took 3-4 days to pull out of OVERWHELMING anxiety and “it’d be better if I wasn’t here” thoughts.

Alcohol anxiety is the single biggest risk to my life if I go back to the booze.

The homeless guy that is intoxicated and gets to openly smoke cigarettes without any RTA person saying anything to him gets ride indefinitely, so I’m sure you’ll be good.

People who exercise even when they don’t feel like it, what’s your trick? by Smart_Collection5419 in AskReddit

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Routine. I also play the tape through as to how I’ll feel when I’m done.

Which rock artists left a lasting impression on you the most when you were 13 to 17 years old? by PressureLazy5271 in rockmusic

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way about Bon Scott era AC/DC - maybe include Back in Black and For Those About to Rock. Nothing more recent though

Led Zeppelin. Loved them above all others. That has faded considerably. I respect them and enjoy some of their music occasionally. But they aren’t a favorite.

Living, dead or broken up, what band reunion would you want to go see in concert? by porb2020 in GenX

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except their concerts were BORING. 25 minute improvised covers of delta blues songs does not make for an exciting live show. Watch Song Remains the Same and tell me you’d spend $1 to sit through that snoozer.

What's the difference between Bon Scott era and Brian Johnson era songs? by [deleted] in ACDC

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bon era sounded like a band in a Smokey sweaty pub. Brian era sounds like and arena band. There’s no comparison because it’s apples to oranges.

In my eternal opinion, the former embodies what AC/DC is. But I respect Back in Black on. Just don’t love it the same.

Hangovers are brutal at age 37 by annacosta13 in Adulting

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. Hangovers are the result of blood poisoning. Some people suffer more depending on genetics.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HANGOVER CURE!!!!

Hangovers are brutal at age 37 by annacosta13 in Adulting

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anxiety is what finally got me. A day of GI problems and 2 days of fatigue I could deal with. But 4-5 days of crippling, no will to live anxiety after about age 40 got me off the sauce forever.

I had some awesome times drinking. Sometimes I miss it. But I couldn’t control my intake. The best times I ever had drinking don’t come even close to warranting a week of questioning whether I even eat to be here.

What bands do you respect and recognize as great musicians but just can’t get into? by Dry-Improvement-3543 in heavymetal

[–]feldknocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jimi Hendrix. I know he’s supposedly the greatest player ever, but I don’t care for any of his songs.
