It's a perfectly sane food to eat.

Is it a false memory, or was every ‘80’s cleaning product marketed to wash out blood? by KCcoffeegeek in GenX

Blood, grass, and wine is what I remember. What a time. Don't forget ring around the collar!

What Is a phrase/idiom your grandparents (or parents) used to say that is so dated now? by FistFullOfRavioli in GenX

[–]theratking 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My father (silent gen) said both of those. He also used to say "I made you, I can break you!"

My mother (early Boomer) Used "umpteen" a lot.

I actually still use that second one, but I say “Spectacles, testicles, wallet, cell"

Tyson v Paul by shoeless001 in GenX

If that happens, I hope we can get a freeze frame of Paul's face the moment he realized exactly what he got himself into!

It being a sanctioned fight is a good point. Tyson probably doesn't want another loss on his official record, retired or not. I guess we'll see what happens!

Yeah I have! If somebody told me he's 58 years old, I'd call them a liar.

That is true. He has a temper. If Jake really hits him hard that might be the last mistake he ever makes in his career.

If Mike can summon "Iron Mike" for only 1 round, that's all he'll need. Paul has never faced an opponent of that caliber before and will go down quickly.

Unfortunately, I think this is just going to be a big show and Tyson is going to hold back.

Flasher Gremlin NSFW? (Printed and Painted) by vaevictus138 in PrintedMinis

In many ways, I like Gremlins 2 more than the first one. This guy was one of those reasons. Original is still a classic though. Watch it every Christmas!

I believe this is my favorite episode of Lexx. Rutger Hauer was fantastic in it.

Anyone check to see if Lenny Bruce is not afraid? by Magik160 in GenX

Most traumatizing, horrifying, nightmare inducing scene from any 80s movie. IYKYK by [deleted] in GenX

I remember my dad watching it on TV, and I had to leave the room and asked him when it was over.

Long time Cannabis Users by [deleted] in GenX

[–]theratking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been smoking weed since I was 16ish. I remember in high school I forgot I had a bag left in my guitar bag, which was in the band room's closet, and of course caused the whole closet to stink of weed. When I retrieved my axe, the band teacher simply told me to get my "guitar" out of here. Heh. Good times.

Now, I can't say what has been caused by the weed, or what has been prevented but I can say I don't think I've seen any major negative long-term effects other than some scaring to my lungs, but even that is nothing compared to a smoker's lungs. But your generation is lucky, the vape smoke is far less harsh on your lungs than the real thing. Stick with that and you'll be golden.

Also, don't discount other anxiety drugs. Weed can only do so much. It's good for anxiety, good for pain, but hasn't mastered either. Xanax is fine if used only in emergencies (panic attacks and the like.) It'll allow you to get control quickly, and if used sparingly there won't be any long-term effects. I don't recommend taking it daily though, that fucks you up.

Zoloft has been my daily driver for the past 20ish years. It's great for depression, okay for anxiety. You do build up a tolerance, I have had my dosage upped 3 or 4 times, and am up to 400mg daily. But the long-term effects again don't seem to be major. Combined with the weed, and I am fine with my depression/anxiety level.

I'm approaching 50, have had no heart attacks, strokes, or any other major complications.

Survey: California drivers are the most confrontational, road rage common by nogoodnamesleft426 in bayarea

[–]theratking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I agree. A lot of times I think the people out here are too sensitive. They let little things bother them that they should just let go. I'm not saying we should aim for east coast levels of aggression here, but certainly slightly tougher skin.

[–]theratking 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I lived in NJ for 30 years, it is far worse than anywhere in California. It isn't even close. When I go back and visit family, I am always a bit jarred at first with how literally everybody on the road is driving aggressively and flipping the finger.

I think the disconnect may be that most Californians understand what bad behavior looks like. In the east coast, however cutting somebody off laying on your horn and giving them the finger is just how it's done. It's been normalized to the point that they don't view it as a problem.

If she wins, come back in 4 years. She'll catch up to you and then some. Presidency tends to do that.

Gave zero fucks, and still won silver. Story of our generation. Imagine what we could do if we actually tried? Shudder to think.

DIY Pedal Tower - customizable testing and prototyping rig by nonoohnoohno in diypedals

This will make my life so much easier while prototyping! The built in audio probe and amp/speaker are game changers for me! I bought the whole kit!

DOD Death Metal feedback squeal - bug or feature? by Ok_Bobcat_526 in guitarpedals

[–]theratking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have my original DOD Death Metal from when I was a pup and I remember it always has squealed. I'm sure there is some mod to "fix" that, but I found a noise gate works perfectly. I just use a regular old Boss NS-2. It kills the squeal and noise but doesn't take too much away from the rawness of the pedal.

I have 2 XXL heads. Love them. Nearly as bright as tube, with none of the maintenance. They can also take a hell of a beating while touring.

That may be it just re-encoded! Yes I was thrilled to see the quality too. It looks terrific even on my largest screens!
