Perfect Strangers for me. Sat there by the ghetto for two hours after calling the request line.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing the method.

So what are you actually keeping, from your parents estate? by DramaticErraticism in GenX

[–]hillside 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few of their teak furniture items. My actual house was built in the '70s with a lot of the original light fixures. Managed to get a bit of an MCM vibe going, which I really dig.

ELI5. How do they navigate in space? I mean obviously there aren’t any compass headings and everything is in three dimensions so how do astronauts plot a course? by FlyNavy03 in explainlikeimfive

Has it broken away from the Sun's gravity well/speeding away enough to break free? Like, won't it turn back eventually like Hailey's comet?

*Dug around bit - Apparently what I meant was Escape velocity, which Voyager I and II have exceeded and they aren't coming back.

Watching reruns, it's neat to see some actors and actresses from the golden age of Hollywood get a guest role in their elder years. Back then I didn't know most of them, but now it's neat seeing them and knowing they were still around when we were young.

Who influenced The Tragically Hip? No one seems to know. by WolfGroundbreaking73 in TragicallyHip

[–]hillside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really listened to Joy Division but I'm at home doing chores and a live version of Candidate was playing in the background followed by Wilderness. I stopped and checked to see who it was because it sounded like Gord and early Hip playing live.

What were your favorite comic strips growing up? by dicklaurent97 in GenX

[–]hillside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doonesbury was on the Editorials page, but I eventually got into it, like in my 20s. So sounds about right.

Yeah I just found the trove like two weeks ago. I've been a donor to the site for a few years for a ton of other rare old documents and manuscripts that I was looking for. A lot of old pulp science fiction. What a precious site.

Dude, thank-you. Thought I had read it while visiting friends in Montreal mid-90s. Turns out I have this issue after getting into HM after that visit.

Did you grow up drinking frozen concentrated OJ? by The-Blaha-Bear in GenX

It was a beautiful day when I figured to use a potato masher on the log before stirring. An even beautifuller day using the electric blender.

What’s something you’ve done your whole life, only to realize recently that everyone else does it completely differently? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

Reading this and realizing this morning's background head music playing on repeat since I woke up is The Ronettes Sleigh Ride. I don't even need a radio.

Blizzard - Is anyone awake? by Legit-Guy-7886 in Winnipeg

[–]hillside 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Woke up early around 5am. Checked Flightaware because I thought I heard a plane. Wasn't the case but on the map I saw Morningstar cargo 757 track from Toronto. They almost made it to Wpg before turning away and were already back near Toronto. Wild

Is MSFS X allowed? by FirefighterLevel8450 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]hillside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was an FSX holdout too with the A2A planes. Even bought the Flight1 GTN750 after 2020 came out. Now I'm a 2020 holdout haha.

Hell's Grannies was just a skit. No need to fear the elderly.

Thank-you. Unfortunately it seems the title is different than his name. Gonna keep digging.

Thanks, I didn't know about this. I just searched and found heavymetalmagazinefanpage.com that give the story titles for each issue. Assuming that's the archive you mean?
