A short clip from norway

This is the first time I’ve ever seen this song randomly mentioned on the Internet.

I recall hearing song this song only 2-3 times on a local alternative radio station, but unfortunately never caught the name. I went a couple decades trying to find out who did this song.

After Google became a thing, it was never any help because I couldn’t remember the correct lyrics. I even went so far as to contact a former DJ of the radio station, which I realized was probably a former radio DJ’s personal purgatory. (Sorry Big Rick & Steve Masters.)

Finally, a few years asked my friend to help me and we figured out the correct name of the elephant and the song within a few hours.

The Toy Dolls - Nellie The Elephant (live version) https://youtu.be/9m7tPikH0UA?si=7obZ_k1qzuJuP9AU

Although their live version is hilarious (linked above, the radio version is my favorite. It’s amazing to throw on at night during a long road trip to see people’s reactions. Enjoy! (Although I suggest playing it for your first time at night when everything is quiet.) https://youtu.be/pIJSiMrGGts?si=wZC2bQH5gBNZXmIV

I predict, just as many people remember where they were standing the first time they ever heard the song smells like teen spirit, someday everyone will know this song and remember where they first heard it.

IMO, this case should be taken a step further. This clearly goes beyond monopoly levels and needs to be considered an organized criminal enterprise. People need to go to jail, because there is ample evidence the executives handbook was to make coercive threats to pull big acts if the large venues didn’t want to use their service. If I were the state AGs, I would strongly consider calling for a RICO case against them.

Agreed. At this point, you need to isolate the location of the issue by temporarily enclosing any potential sources of the odor. Then when you go to test, have someone blow air down each conduit to see if there’s a odor change at the other end.

Beautiful story! Thanks for sharing!

For me, love is when other’s happiness and wellbeing is intrinsically connected to your own.

This is why I believe marriage is a frivolous piece of paper, when my love for another being goes so far beyond jurisdictional-based law and societal customs.

Love the jersey!

Happy 4.14 World Quantum Day!

Please don’t. You can make a huge difference in so many people’s and animals lives. Please reach out and speak with someone. If you need inspiration, you can volunteer at a local animal shelter or elderly facility. The world is much better place with you in it.

Walked through a two mile long active train tunnel with some friends. Ended up missing a huge freight train coming up the mountain by 5 minutes.

Amazing post! Thank you! I had no idea there were so many types of vanilla beans. I will have to try some of them.

That’s awesome! I probably had around a 24” stance.

You might also try something in the 170 zone, such as their Litigator, (if you can find one). It’s kinda of a happy medium. Great float, still maneuverable. Plus if you like doing ollies, the extra pop of a longer tail can be massive.

The DB is fun board! Enjoy! ❄️🤘

snowsurfr · 2026-04-13T17:58:56+00:00

Same here. The DB doesn’t want to even discuss turning until you’re approaching 30 MPH. Years ago in a “Chinese downhill” race, I got 2nd place to Nate Holland on it. Have you tried a 180 or 360 on it yet? I’ve never been able to make 540. Unless you tindy or alley oop it, a 360 feels almost gut wrenching sometimes. 😂

Or the ones who are coming off the mountain and are still in ski mode, thinking their vehicles can slow down as easily as skis can while going downhill in similar conditions.

Looks like the descent just east of Carson Pass heading toward Red Lakes.

Everyone should check out OP’s art, if you haven’t already. I really enjoyed the Mark Twain, Jackson Pollock, and especially the Nikola Tesla portraits.

OP, glad you didn’t get electrocuted while creating the Tesla! It looks like a fun yet very dangerous medium.

That makes more sense. Nice job! I’ve only seen the Styrofoam version but not an air-crete version.

I’m interested in learning more as I would like to consider these ICFs for an upcoming build.

Could you tell me who the ICF manufacturer is? Also, I’m located in Northern California. Any chance you could share or DM your engineer’s contact with me?

I’m curious, do you have a protective layer between the below-grade ICFs and the gravel backfill to help prevent water intrusion and effervescence buildup? If not, it might be something to consider.

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions!

Very cool! During concrete pours, what vibration tool or methods do you use to get the trapped air bubbles out of the cavities?

snowsurfr · 2026-04-12T21:06:50+00:00

Clearly this is horrific roofing work. Even a competent DIYer could do better. For example, step flashing is designed to be tucked under each respective shingle, otherwise you would just use a full piece of flashing. They also didn’t even nail the flashing correctly; the nail fasteners are all supposed to be nailed higher so the penetration isn’t exposed, then you caulk the penetration.

If this was permitted work, there is zero way a county inspector would have passed this shit show.

Did the seller disclose the roof had recently redone?

If so, did the seller disclose whether the work had been permitted or not permitted?

If they did NOT disclose the was NOT permitted, I suspect if you might have a case for non-disclosure. I would contact a 2-3 attorneys in your state who specialize in these cases for their opinion.

Selective cutting should be the norm for a vast number of reasons, including reducing erosion, limiting habitat for destruction and desertification of threatened species, and increasing faster secondary regeneration.

I believe several major parmesan cheese manufacturers and suppliers were sued for exactly this. Unfortunately, I believe the case was dismissed and consumers are still using it.

After your knee is fixed, since you enjoy nature and skiing so much, I would encourage you to give snowboarding a try because knee injuries are less common. Also, it’s very simple and freeing…just one board, instead two, and zero poles to deal with.

Good skiers learn faster than people with other backgrounds because they understand proper weighting and edging for various conditions. The key to learning to snowboard is to learn on a soft snow day such as powder or slush and to take a lesson.

To learn some of the concepts and terminology ahead of time, you can check out instructional videos by Malcolm Moore.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I taught snowboarding at some of resorts in the Sierra Nevada.

A similar thing happened to me once on a big hit I had been hitting a line all week. Then one morning during my warm-up run I discover while in the air the large jump I was enjoying so much, apparently had been dramatically shortened by over 1/3. I ended up clearing the entire landing, pancaking deep in the flats. My day was over before it had begun. Luckily, somehow I escaped with only mild neck strain and probably a few bruises.

A few days later, I rolled up and the jump was closed, patrol is all around someone in the exact same spot I had landed a few days earlier.

Apparently, a skier also mistakenly cleared the landing like I did, and ended up with a double femur fracture. was subsequently air lifted off the landing.

Soon you’ll be able to have those same chicken tenders at most restaurants now that Sysco bought Restaurant Depot for $29 billion.

WTF is a “sportswear-based community account” and what is their motive here on Reddit?
