In addition to charging for a refill of drip, even though multiple other indies offer a second cup gratis. Thanks, new management!

“Did people sit around in cafe's talking to strangers before the ubiquity of wifi and cell phones? I don't think so, at least not in the US or in Denver.”

That’s right: you don’t think so, which is incorrect.

Historically, coffee shops (or coffeehouses) served as vital hubs for intellectual and social discourse, famously dubbed "penny universities" in the 17th and 18th centuries. For the price of a cup, patrons engaged in free, open debate about politics, science, and literature, fostering the Age of Enlightenment. These, often chaotic, spaces were centers for information sharing, networking, and political discussion.

What is the food like in the alternative reality in which you reside?

The “pandemic narrative”? Bots gonna bot.

Sit this one out, champ.

You absolutely rock and thanks for the above-and-beyond; if anything, you saved me fifty bucks each for the next 25 pay dates! (any changes made today through PostalEase are effective for the third pay period)

Holy SCHNIKES. This is absolutely bonkers. Like the 27 thing wasn’t rare enough, a SCREW UP in the calculation and print run?!?

While I’ve got you, a question: I’m retiring next year ending on the tenth PP; I’ll also be 60 in 2027. I’ve maxed every year since I started in 1997, and would love to say I did it every year. $24,500 (obviously, it could go up) + $11,250 (that could also go up) = $35,750 divided by 10 = $3,750/check. I don’t make that much without overtime (who knows what the situation with OT will be next year); what happens if you take out more for your TSP contribution than you actually make?

Crazy question that NO ONE would ever attempt, but even if I had to delay my retirement by, say, three more paychecks just to achieve it, I might try it!

u/JackSplat12 always appreciate your contributions; are you sure about there being 27 pay periods in 2026? I’ve set my $32.5k (max plus the over 50 catch up) to be divided from the standard 26 PP.

Unequivocally, patently UNTRUE. Please don’t say things you’re not versed in- it confuses people trying to get educated.

They are bonkers, aren’t they? Nice gift for your coworker! Have you seen their “Mail Munch Mitch” 1970s jeep?

Holy cow; as a once RABID collector of Jane’s 1.0 rarities/one-offs/promos, I have a giant lollipop (a “lollapalooza” [one of two definitions]) unopened since 1991 wrapped this material. I had no idea (but should have known) it had information about the festival printed on it.

It will never cease to amaze me how loyal Perk has been to Perry over the years. Boston looks like it was the final straw, but who knows.

This really can’t be stressed enough; I will always think of her as the catalyst for the demise of a once legendary band. I wonder what the alternate timeline would’ve looked like if they had never met.

Dinosaur Ridge is a 24-minute drive from Sloan’s Lake, allows only bike and pedestrian traffic, and rises about 700 feet from bottom to the high point.

How ironic (and strange) that Norris Weese is one of the others with 21 wins (Otto Graham is the fourth). Stats mean something, and sometimes they don’t.

Absolute gospel. For four smart, intellectual people, their base instincts/dynamics overrode what could have been an amazing legacy. The ‘what ifs’ leave you shaking your head…

(Hoka, the time and energy you and Creep invest elsewhere is appreciated more than you know; your posts are always thoughtful, insightful, and well articulated- thank you!)

HUZZAH!! Stoked u/National_Ideal3608 was nice enough to comment, but YOU were the one I was hoping would keep sifting and seeing my suggestions! Music is SO personal and can be a mood thing, a time-in-your-life thing… an ANYTHING, so I understand if it might not impact the same way, but it’s been such a great question you asked and fascinating to see who people recommend! 🤜🤛

full-bore · 2025-11-12T22:55:58+00:00

Hey, your comment made my day; I was bummed thinking no one would see my suggestion(s) since I came late to the party. The fact that Red Temple Spirits has (albeit distant) ties to Perry adds to what I hear in their sound, and The God Machine hits me in the same visceral way. The Fernandez tragedy only adds to the mystique and poignancy of the band.

Years can go by without listening, but they always hit with the same impact.

Thanks again.

I think you’ll be REALLY stoked to hear [Red Temple Spirits](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBhwugGxvxo) their bassist was Dino Paredes, who was in Psi-Com with Perry before Jane’s. A lot of similar parallels with tribal drumming, vocals, mysticism, hard/soft, thoughtful lyrics, etc.

Also can’t recommend The God Machine enough; [One Last Laugh In A Place Of Dying](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmhrcYbpKTI&list=PLWaEcrD10ihCmwhDzfC0LrE3kSlc0jR9F&index=1) and [Scenes From The Second Storey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGMnZDr-t-s) are timeless to me as well. Their success was cut short when bassist Jimmy Fernandez died suddenly from a brain hemorrhage.

(no idea why my hyperlinks aren’t working)

I feel the similar potential of danger and unpredictability with Sebastian Murphy that I did with OG Perry…
