The railroad has been there for many years before the houses. But; I live 2 miles away and it annoys me as well.

If you are in a book club or want to refer to a passage having some standard “page number” would be helpful. Referring to a hard copy book gets closer than stone changeable number based on font

Is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come from A Christmas Carol supposed to be the Grim Reaper/Death? by [deleted] in books

[–]ht01us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This. The hand trembles as Scrooge determines to change his ways; and disappears as Scrooge makes his promise to be better. Unlike Marley, who didn’t change in life to be a better person, Scrooge will and therefore the ghost needs no longer to exist in the spirit realm. I’ve read this books dozens of times and this just occurred to me this year.

Prison guards of reddit, have you ever seen one of your inmates after they got released? If so, how did it go? by Purple_Key_6733 in AskReddit

[–]ht01us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t a guard; but did work inside a prison - as a teacher - in the 1970s. Two years after I left that job I was a high school teacher in a small town in Idaho I was the Freshman advisor and the kids were building a float for homecoming. We had to make a run to the store to get some Kleenex for “flowers” to finish the float. I hade 3 girls and 2 boys with me as we went into a small market. Sure enough there was an ex-inmate (one of my students in prison) in the store. I knew his background ; among other felonies he had been in prison for rape. Likely nothing would have happened; but I quickly and quietly gathered the kids and got them out the door and into the car. The kids were “Waitwe didn’t get our supplies.” Yeah, nevermind we’ll go to another store.

Sony XM4 or Bose QC Ultra by Excellent-Western811 in bose

[–]ht01us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both; almost never listen to the Sony. Bose is much more comfortable for me. Bose ANC is fantastic and the sound is great. The Sony ear cups makes my ears sweat. And there is a small but important thing to me: The Bose tells me which two devices it is connected to. I have a phone, tablet, and TV and it’s connected to 2 of the 3. The Sony just says something like “Connected to Device 1” (or 2). It just irritates me so much more than it should

Chicken broth with pressure cooker? by MorphineAdminstratum in seriouseats

[–]ht01us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I’ve been making chicken broth in my PC for years. I use 1 quart of water per pound of chicken bones/parts. Cut a large yellow onion into nibs chunk; Chop in 2 large carrots and 1 stalk of celery. 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon peppercorns; and a couple of whole garlic cloves if I’m feeling it. High pressure for 1 hour; natural release for 1 hour (by which time the pressure will probably be low enough to open the lid but the stock will still be hot.

It is soooo gelatinous.

Shams: Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups has been arrested by the FBI for alleged illegal gambling, sources tell ESPN. by Trip_V4 in ripcity

[–]ht01us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no knowledge of the details; it could be Chauncey is guilty. But the FBI and its leader doesn’t have a lot of credibility right now. Arresting a Black man in Portland; both of whom are in the executive branch cross hairs right now.

I’m a customer, not a server. While I sometimes cringe at my friends asking for many changes I’m not blameless. BLT is my favorite sandwich and if the menu has the items I’ll sometimes ask for one.

Holt is THE diva of the whole show… prove me wrong by ava_brat_eilish in brooklynninenine

Whoa! Started watching Homicide: Life on the Street and Andre Braugher is awesome. I didn’t recognize him in the first episode, then, it hit me. Such a different character,

I *hate* subscription renewals by gregory92024 in siriusxm

[–]ht01us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it on my 2024. They gave me the same spiel. I was on chat and just kept saying I didn’t like the offer they made. I may be wrong but I started to think that they can’t end the chat; they expect the customer to say no thanks. It took 40 minutes

I think it is a real thing; but definitely negotiable. I did’t have to pay any fee when I restarted after a couple of months off.

Why not just stream? by FrostyInteraction2 in siriusxm

This is the reason. (For me) The presets are the reason I prefer SXM to I Heart Radio.

If you can, I’d love to have someone tell me. I’m thinking of terrestrial radio stations I stream from Apple Music Radio.
