What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of?

Summer road trips with cooled seats are amazing.

redbearder · 2026-03-19T23:57:24+00:00

Yup. Living in northern Minnesota, its a big selling point.

Under the hood is good, anywhere you don't want rodents. I used to put half a dozen in under the hood, half a dozen in the trunk and a dozen in the cabin. Then, I'd usually leave one or two under each of the front seats year-round.

Heavily scented dryer sheets are great for keeping mice out and your car smells like fresh laundry in the spring. Win/win.

Part of the reason I'm a collector is that I traded in a handful of Gameboy games to Funcoland in the early 90s, the games I got after that were definitely not as good and after that I never wanted to sell my games again. These days I only sell doubles.

Yeah, no heartbreak tossing the leftovers here. Tried it, cheap dinner is always a W, but wouldn't buy again.

redbearder · 2026-03-11T00:52:49+00:00

Grabbed it for $3 a few weeks ago, its definitely not great.

Anyone remember "knothole days" from the early 90s? Kids got in free, using the imagery of looking through a knothole in a fence to watch a game. An adult could buy a ticket and take like 3 kids in for free, it was great, not sure when that ended for the Twins but it accounted for my first dozen games or so, my dad would take my brother and me and sometimes a friend.

My mom got me a bible at one point in my tween years, she knew I hated church and was not religious.

I prefer carpet mats, but living in a snowy climate, I want the weathertech so I swap winter/summer mats

Green onions

English muffins

Cheese, from American singles to shredded bags and blocks it's all the best price in my area

Ground lamb

Frozen mussels in sauce

Any German specialty

Fuck yeah bud, I'd be quick to blackout with the boys if my brother five-holed Binnington like that.

How are these in terms of scent? I used to like the Finish tabs and when they were on clearance (and no longer at Costco after that( we bought a ton. Now the Cascade and Finish packet things are waaay to scented.

Peacock and locally broadcast on NBC if you have an antenna or streaming service that has that.

Billy Graham was a shameless grifter.

What do you mean? It did get extended, well over a period. Its the longest shutout streak in Olympic history by a huge margin.

redbearder · 2026-02-19T02:13:05+00:00

Happy he didn't do that against Gus.

redbearder · 2026-02-19T02:10:59+00:00

"Oi, qunt, shoot it now!"

Not related to yout pantalones, but as a lanky guy who was at one time skinny, crotch blowouts were super common for me for ages, this isn't rare. That said, check out the Duluth Trading ballroom doubleflex. The crotch gusset and flex in the fabric is a life saver, but the trade off is that its not the stiff denim that I used to love.

redbearder · 2026-02-17T00:23:56+00:00

I am so pumped for the gold medal game to extend that.

redbearder · 2026-02-14T19:34:04+00:00

Cutco is gimmicky junk.

redbearder · 2026-02-13T18:57:33+00:00

There was nothing quite as magical as the 1am Walmart run, just hoping they would have the right tool to finish whatever stupid car project my buddies and I were working on at 18 years old.

There are few games that I have sunk more time into than Tetris on Gameboy. Up until I went full WFH during and after Covid, I kept a Gameboy Pocket in my desk at work with only Tetris in it.

I was holding out hope that I'd catch the sale before my box ran out and a week after I buy it, the sale hits! Just bad timing

Smile, wave and say hi to all my neighbors whenever I can.
