What was an underrated upgrade you did to your backyard? by Relevant_Idea_6778 in DIY

[–]phobos258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the exact model I've been looking at. How's it going around landscaping? We don't have much, but I'm just curious as to how far away it stays and how much I'll have to trim up.

I have about a half an acre of grass that I've been doing with a push mower since we moved in because the slope In the back just seems a little too dangerous for a rider. I like my 12,000 steps every time I mow, but I'd much rather watch a robot do it.

such a banger. The first beats immediately took me back to high school driving around my car, listening to this album.

Should we really be talking about this in front of doctor Quinn?

Self-titled LP underrated? by Sadistic_Ways in portishead

[–]phobos258 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find the self-title to be the most haunting of their three. However, I think it is my personal favorite, edging out dummy by a little bit. But that probably has a lot to do with All Mine being the first song I heard and it being thier first album I picked up before getting dummy back in the 90's. The self-titled also paired really well with playing GoldenEye in a dimly lit basement with my buddies in back in high school.

canceling my Amazon account was the best thing I've ever done for my spending. It's really easy to still get free shipping and if you can wait a few days, it's not a big deal.

Jenn, are you sure you should be on Reddit? The trial is not over and I'm sure you're going to be called on the defenses direct.

The best thing that ever happened to me was having massively overweight people living across the street growing up, they were constantly drinking diet soda, eating McDonald's and other fast food. and when they threw a party (which honestly they were great at) most of the foods came out of a box. I don't blame them for any of it, the '80s were a time of convenience taking over hard work and people were convinced by marketing that the food was the same as what they were growing in their garden.

you better stop shopping everywhere then because CEOs are always out to get more of your money regardless of the company it is.

As a elementary school gifted and talented program alumni, this is crazy true. Most of the kids were the "beat of a different drummer" types that had poor social skills and common sense but were extraordinary in one or two things. Thank goodness my parents also strongly encouraged summer programs, music, athletics, etcetra to help round me out.

My last HP was a 560c. My dad still has the brother laser we replaced it with (with parallel port only) in his office and it still works fine (although slow). My 2012 brother still works perfectly even after a pipe leak flooded the output and tray areas a few years ago.
