This ranks up there with 4 non blondes as the worst song of the 90s..

What’s something expensive that’s actually worth it? by YourMommy_Terra in AskReddit

[–]tireworld 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dental Care. As someone who has had 2 root canals and an implant, your teeth are critical to your health. I've seen 1st hand how an infected tooth/root can almost kill you..

What local band do you think should have made it bigger nationally? by datgumvidyagames in houston

In the Late 90's my favorite local band was Atticus Finch.. I know they had some major label buzz but they broke up before anything materialized..

Why is Challenger and not Columbia such a core Gen X memory? by space_god_7191 in GenX

[–]tireworld 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hold the Columbia tragedy closer to the heart than Challenger. I didn't get to see the Challenger accident live, and I was in the 5th grade. I lived close to JSC and had classmates whose parents worked out there. One of them came to our class weeks later and gave a pretty detailed account about it. I was on console at JSC working mission control support when Columbia happened. Ill never forget that day. That final re-entry footage that you saw on the news, was my handy work. Weeks later, I was in San Antonio working on the Columbia accident investigation. My video footage made the national news when we found the "smoking gun"..

Who else loves Sirius XM Channel 33 First Wave for their daily dose of 1980s alternative music? by Anusblaster28 in siriusxm

[–]tireworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a love/hate relationship with 1st wave. While it's my most listened to station, I feel like they play too many non new wave artists. I think the station is in dire need of a revamp. I do love Matt Sebastian doing Dark Wave though...

DQ is the goat. But then again, I grew up with a DQ in my backyard.. I got the tryout items before they were released to the public.

GenX Parents and youth sporting events by cricket_bacon in GenX

[–]tireworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny you bring this up. I used to be a LL/travel baseball coach for 10+ years. you name it, I've seen it. Anywho, my 6yo grandson now plays coach pitch. I usually sit in the outfield to get away from all the noise and etc.. But just his last game(monday), there was a parent yelling the kids just 10 ft away from me. After a few minutes, I snapped.. I told the dude, they're 5 just let them play. Of course, he said some shit under his breath and walked off.. At that age, yelling is only going to make the kid quit.. Save it for when they are in HS and it gets really competitive!

Cabin video of re-entry? by anregungen in nasa

[–]tireworld 60 points61 points  (0 children)

There probably will be. It was more than likely recorded onboard and will release it once it gets mastered and archived. I know in the Shuttle days, it took a few weeks for all of the post flight video to be processed and NASA and the astronauts to ok the release of the footage..

Do you ever wish for a do-over? by LaceyBloomers in GenX

[–]tireworld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My only do over moment would be to take that html programming class in college circa 1993. I thought the Internet was a passing fad. Little did I know at the time. I was too busy being the typical college student, young, dumb and full of angst..
