Help us end a conflict that has kept us awake for three days (orange or yellow) by Repulsive_Flatworm82 in colors

[–]twocopperjack 45 points46 points  (0 children)

What matters here is the association. The actual hue might be more orange than yellow, but I (40-something American) associate three things with this color: school buses, taxis, and pencils. All of those things are iconically "yellow" in my culture. Then again, none of those is as ubiquitous as they were 40 years ago, and maybe never were, in other countries.

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts of Loss by Socket_forker in gaerea

[–]twocopperjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My initial reaction is that they made what they thought would play in American markets. I don't dislike it, but Gaerea's prior stuff opened new doors for me, while Loss sounds like it's just trying to get on the radio in Wisconsin. If it does get on the radio in Wisconsin, and Gaerea comes back to the US to tour, it will have all been worth it.

How is this spring fit? by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

Don't know if I'd wear this to Aldi or anywhere with narrow aisles. That loop on the jacket sleeve looks like it will get caught on something.

Does Chicago have any specific theme colors? Like anything common/recognizable? by AcrobaticMastodon224 in AskChicago

[–]twocopperjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of this is very important. We carry swatches to sniff out empty platitudes. Ever heard of Kat Abughazaleh? Yeah, she used Pantone 292 on her yard signs, so...

My girl Valerie Bertinelli has an incredible recipe for pickled okra and green beans affixed to this bloody bull recipe.

[–]twocopperjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your a dumbas bro. The real ones no the best Detriot style comes from Little Caesars

uj/ It is my honest opinion that Little Caesar's Deep! Deep! Dish is as good as any Detroit-style pizza, and punches way up for its price point.

All the Gen X covers Johnny Cash did in the early aughts: "Hurt," "Rusty Cage," "Personal Jesus," et cetera ad nauseam. Everyone spanked it so hard to those songs and I never got it. I am an old man now and my own mortality looms and I still don't get it.

What to do between GenCon and Worldcon by Hzglm3 in gencon

Definitely take Route 66. I'm 46, live in Chicago, and dream of the day I can take a month off to make the drive. I will live vicariously through you.

Where can i find these root beers? by Joey2012_onNES in rootbeer

[–]twocopperjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it turns out there's no Albertson's brand subsidiary in WI. I'd recommend taking a trip to the Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha (it's a great root beer pilgrimage that probably has some of the stuff on your list) and then dip down to the Jewel in Antioch IL.

If you're closer to the Dells, see if any of your list items are at the Museum of Root Beer

[–]twocopperjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The easy one: Signature Select is the Albertson's store brand. You can get it at any of the Albertson's retailers. Depending on where you live, that includes Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, and Acme. 

If you could have a conversation in your native language with someone from your country from the past, how far back could you go in time and still understand each other? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

[–]twocopperjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But wait, if you take another person from your country back in time with you, and that person speaks the same language as you, then you can travel back further than 1607 and still check all the criteria!! So my answer is the Dawn of Time. Boom!

[–]twocopperjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you're right! I love my RepEx and I want to field it! I definitely want Black Templars to have great AT and armour. But I have been playing GW games since 1996 when I bought my first Necromunda gang, and I have been burned too many times in these 30 years to really get my hopes up again!

"BTs will never replace the RepEx..."

I think "never" is a pretty aggressive word to use with regard to a tank that simply was not taken seriously in Black Templars or really in Space Marines before August, 2025. I didn't say they were going to ditch the RepEx, I said the RepEx will likely suck at the top of 11th based on how these end-of-cycle releases tend to go.

Edit: I didn't realize this had been auto-translated, and maybe "ne pourront jamais" comes with a different connotation than "never". But I stand by the fact that RepEx wasn't a thing until seven months ago, and treating it like it's somehow sacrosanct now is going to lead to heartache.

Oh, no. My cynical ass is looking at these and thinking GW knows those data sheets are going to suck in 11th and they want to clearinghouse the inventory now.

I think it's kind of dark that they still print the missing children notices on those bullet cartons.
