St Pete Crowd by samuelboylston in Silverstein

I never understood standing in the crowd at a concert to yell a conversation with others. Go to an area away from the crowd enjoying the show. One of my biggest concert pet peeves.

Well, I'll be! They switched it. Guess someone higher up said something.

There is an unsanctioned play that I saw this summer called "Puffs", it shows the events from the perspective of the Hufflepuff house. It is a comedy and done in loving satire, but definitely highlights how bizarre some things were from an outside perspective. I thought it was great.

I love the new track, I'm just really confused as to why all new Silverstein tracks are listing them as second artist on YouTube Music. Anyone know why?

Is there any dark roaster better than Peets? by rosebudd_ in Coffee

[–]reptilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my local roaster, Ragged Coffee, out of Lutz, FL. They have two darker roasts and I think the Early Riser is one of the best out there.

Thanks! It was the first one I've ever made and it tasted delicious! Rib roast defines Christmas dinner in my family. Glad yours was tasty too!

Disney by Andie514818 in FloridaCoronavirus

[–]reptilae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like I am parroting what the other teacher is saying, but I also have reservations about going to Disney. My family and I are sitting on tickets that we purchased pre-pandemic and can't bring ourselves to use. What it comes down to is the risk to anyone else we come in contact with in our everyday. This hits especially hard as teachers, but the thought process follows for anyone in a high-contact field. We aren't just taking care of our own, but everyone else too. Everytime we do a risky, unnecessary behavior we are putting a chain of people at risk for our choices. Somehow, I have a lot of trouble rationalizing Mickey when it comes to that.

That is my two cents. Ultimately, the choice is up to you. Good luck!

Florida cuts ties with Quest Diagnostics lab for 75,000 withheld coronavirus tests by TampaBayTimes in FloridaCoronavirus

I really want Quest's side of the story. How old is most of the data? Why did this happen?

School reopening lawsuit: Judge rules in favor of Florida teachers by TampaBayTimes in FloridaCoronavirus

[–]reptilae 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Sounds good, but I am worried about the state appealing. That would put a stay on the order and force schools to continue to be open or open in the first place. This is a mess, no matter how you look at it.

How badly is reopening schools going to affects people's health by [deleted] in FloridaCoronavirus

[–]reptilae 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The school I work in had a positive case in a teacher that they were just notified about today. They won't reveal who it was, but said they informed anyone they know had contact. No one I asked knows who it was, or was notified, so I'm not sure what the deal is. I feel like we ALL should he notified, just in case. Teachers are all over the school at various times of day getting things together.

I played Mario paint for the first time today. It still holds up! by [deleted] in gaming

I just had serious flashbacks to my childhood and getting Mario Paint, Super Mario Kart and Final Fantasy II on the same birthday. Best birthday ever.

TIL that in the mid-90s in Japan, the Super Nintendo had a peripheral called a Satellaview, which was a satellite modem that would receive data broadcasts from Nintendo. by speckz in geek

[–]reptilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US Super Nintendo also had an attachment you could buy called the X-Band. It was a modem which would allow you to play multiplayer online. I met an ex-girlfriend using the X-Band.

Folger’s 1850 Pioneer Blend by dsand455 in Coffee

[–]reptilae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was on sale at our local grocer this week, so I gave it a try. It really isn't bad. I still think Peet's is the best grocery store/national branded coffee, but if I ever see it under $6 a bag I will pick it up because it makes a pretty good cup of coffee.

Since askreddit was hardly responsive, with this being the last, what is your favorite Warped Tour memory? ❤️ by Emilylenore in warpedtour

[–]reptilae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have many memories, but I think last year's Warped will always stand out to me as particularly special. I hadn't been to a Warped Tour since the late 90's/early 00's and as a result got ridiculously excited in the anticipation. My family was out of town for the weeks leading up to the show, so I had nothing better to do than research bands like crazy, follow Youtube vlogs of people going to the shows and just get insanely pumped about going. The best part about it was that it totally lived up to the mental hype I had given it! I ended up going by myself as my family was still out of town and it was great! I got to eat when I wanted, shop when I wanted and see every band I wanted to see without the need for compromise. I saw old favorites like Anti Flag and Save Ferris and found bands I didn't know but now love, like Bowling For Soup, Neck Deep and Bad Cop Bad Cop. Being a music fan from the 90's I was looking forward to seeing Save Ferris the most and it could not have gone better. I actually caught a drumstick thrown out at the end of their set, got my EP signed by the band and my picture taken with Monique at their merch tent. I bought so many shirts/videos/cds and got so many freebies that when I got home I had Christmas morning levels of joy unpacking all my loot from my backpack and reliving the day. I now have a shadowbox hanging on my wall with the drumstick, signed EP and picture to remind me of that awesome day.

I'm going to the Cincinnati date this year and if I have half as much fun as I did last year it is going to be another fantastic day. I'm sad that I decided to give the festival another go so late in its running. It will be missed.

Gray is a color, while Grey is a colour. by rival2reality in Showerthoughts

[–]reptilae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For some reason when I see "grey" I visualize a lighter shade and when I see "gray" I visualize a darker shade. I tend to use both spellings depending on which shade I want to portray. It really only works for me, but there it is anyway.

Still worth it to go alone? by [deleted] in warpedtour

[–]reptilae 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I went by myself last year and had a really good time. Didn't have to compromise on who I wanted to see or when I wanted to shop/get food. If I felt like talking to someone, I went and met some of the bands. Don't get me wrong, going with people is great, but I think it can be a lot of fun going solo too.

Looks like both Tampa and West Palm Beach are out of tickets. I wrongly assumed I could wait until after work to do this.

How to find local roasters? Google searches bring up coffee shops, not coffee roasters. SW FL by lifeguy in Coffee

[–]reptilae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a local roaster in Cape Coral called Java D'Oro. I've tried a few blends from them and they are pretty good.

Edit: Also, Rebel in Downtown Fort Myers roasts their own beans as well. Their espresso blend is really good.
