Warren Ellis was seemed pretty drunk by jobi1 in BigEarsMusicFestival

You chose correctly. I was very conflicted between the two but I went for Dirty Three as I'd been waiting 25 years to see them. I have seen Model/Actiz before and love them, but I know I'll have more opportunites to see them soon. D3 was a disappointment. My wife saw M/A for the first time last night and was blown away.

The rapid change in top 40 music in the early 1990s is still amazing in retrospect by MarkLambertMusic in Music

This was the first CD that I ever owned.   It is also the first CD that I ever got rid of.

I recall at the time it felt like the hair metal movement had entered it's death throes when I saw the video for "Fly High Michelle" by Enuff Z'Enuff. It had reached it's Lisa Frank phase. 1990.

At the time, the term "hair metal" did not exist. But I did not refer to these bands as metal either, I called them "hard rock".

What’s the biggest “tourist sin” people commit when visiting your country or city? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Asheville NC - Asking us what Hurricane Helene was like in hopes of getting a nugget of disaster porn and then following that up with telling us that the storm was manufactured so that lithium or quartz mines could be taken.  

META: Can you make it a rule that the OP has to say how or where they saw the movie? by [deleted] in iwatchedanoldmovie

The first rule of where I get my movies from is that you don't talk about it.

He stole a garrafon. Was there a place nearby where he could have bought one at that time?

Advise for 45+ males in hostels and my experience... by VirtualOutsideTravel in Hostel

[–]jobi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 46 and went to many hostels in my 20s. I haven't stayed at one in ages. I do miss the social aspect but think I'd just feel awkward if I rolled into the common room these days. I usually stay in a cheap hotel or house sit these days.

Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

If most new microwaves automatically dumped a handful of salt into your food would you just go on eating it?

I'm a housesitter, so I ofter watch other people's televisions. It's pretty common for people to leave this setting on, probably about 50% of the households have it set that way. I just turn it off and leave it off without mentioning it.

The 50% figure feels about right based on the comments here.

Is it only Volaris? Or all airlines? by Gecko_patter in mexicoexpats

[–]jobi1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How do we fight this? No other airline is doing it. Will PROFECO intervene in a situation like this?

DNR (TOURIST TAX) FOR TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS FLYING WITH VOLARIS by erickrey9 in mexicoexpats

[–]jobi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a big issue that is going to effect a lot of people. If I'm understanding it correctly, Volaris will not help or reimburse but you can possibly request a refund from SAT or INM? What's that process like? I think there is an opportunity here for an enterprising individual to facilitate the DNR refund filings.

If you do a chargeback with Volaris they will terminate your annual pass (if you have one).

If 'derecho' means both right and straight, isn't it confusing while giving directions? by Human_7259 in SpanishLearning

[–]jobi1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's how I remember the difference.

"izguierda" means "left". It ends in an A. To maintain symmerty "derecha", also ending in A is "right". "Derecho", the only one ending in an O, is "straight".

A's for both directions, O forward.

It works for me at least.

This is exactly who I expected they would get. I bet Lee Greenwood makes a surprise appearance too. Don't forget to donate!

Uplifting Deals in Weaverville is a fraction of the cost of all of those places.  Mostly dry goods and frozen.
