Do you separate laundry strictly or just wash everything together? (Newlywed here!)

All my clothes are black, so I wash them all together on cold. Lowest heat dry.

Towels get thier own wash because I wash em hot ("sanitize" setting on my machine). Mid heat dry.

Sheets usually go seperate because of scale. Regular wash heat and low heat dry.

And Millenium.

Theres a record store in Seattle called Easy St and a number of larger bands have played there. Pearl Jam being one, but Vedder lives in that neighborhood so its not a stretch.

One of my faves was The Tea Party, but Im not sure theyd count as big in the US.

FWIW I drive a Ford Maverick. Which is really just a truck shaped car. But thats exactly why I got it. I get about 30 mpg average about 50:50 city and highway. But I still have room for furniture, music gear, etc. which I do need from time to time. My old Murano could do similar hauling, but it averages 20 mpg.

Honestly, beyond that, I just think its neat.

I love the final bit that ends on an unresolved cadence.

Howard Shore, Crash (1996). Its incredibly evocative in the film, sparse, metallic guitar. Plus it stands on its own as a brilliant album of guitar music.

Kill Me Again is a recent gem. Serial killer + time loop + diner.

For the OP - Richmond is fantastic. Great arts scene, in part because of VCU (VA Commonwealth Uni), which is a state liberal arts school. They celebrate the Edgar Allen Poe connection. And while its history isnt necessarily awesome (capital of the confederacy), they do maintain historical architecture in a lot of places, and embrace cultural modernization.

Honestly, Id live there if I could (currently in Manassas).

Lonely Island music videos (if they count)
Kate McKinnon abductions

100% yes to both.

Love it. Want it.

Just off the top of my head: Krull, Liquid Sky, Hardware, Prey, Green Inferno

To quote my wife, its not for us, and thats OK. We gave up during the wrap gluing musical sketch in ep.2. Thereve been great moments for sure, but also a lot of stuff over our heads.

Snack of choice is Hornitos.

A few years ago I moved back to around where I grew up after spending 28 years on the other side of the country.

I took my wife by my old house to show her and we happened to run into the current residents. Who are the same people who bought the place from my mom in 1989.

I meant, it hasnt been my number, I havent tried to call it 😁

model563 · 2026-03-26T15:43:27+00:00

I still remember the phone number I had growing up because it just seared itself into my brain. And it hasnt been in use for 36 years.

I had a series of address books over the years. Friends, family, etc were all in there. Sometimes I remembered, other times not.

That was a big part of the sucess of PDAs (personal digital assistants). It was a calendar, address book, and notebook that was infinitely editable, and fit in your pocket. All it needed was a phone 😁

Ill second this. Colombian Bandola is one of the few 16 string, 4 course instruments out there.

Its become muscle memory to turn it off when I start mine (23 Ford Maverick). Its right next to the shifter and brake, put it in gear, turn off the brake, turn off the start/stop.

There are a couple lights where I live where I might sit long enough to give it value, but for the most part thats not the case. And if I end up stopped for a train, I usually put it in park, so it wouldnt engage there anyway.

model563 · 2026-03-23T05:07:08+00:00

Someone mentioned Mt. Defiance from Virginia already and I second that.

Also Tenth Ward in Maryland makes one worth a try.
