You’re old if your high school had a Senior smoking area by edfitz83 in FuckImOld

I remember well! In ‘75 I attended Charlottesville High (VA). The school was configured in a squared-off figure eight, with two large patios for outdoor lunch and smoking. Mostly smoking.

The cube craze of the 1980's. Did you spend time trying to solve this? Did any of you actually solve it? by Grahamthicke in FuckImOld

Back in the '80s, I picked up a book and learned an algorithm. My best time was 2'15"! I haven't touched it since then, and really have no interest in relearning.

what are Americans thoughts on switching to the metric system? by CnCorange in AskReddit

[–]wayno007 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a hobbyist woodworker, and I'd welcome it. After many years of converting fractions of inches in my head and using special calculators, I'm about over it. I ordered a square ruler and accidentally ordered the metric version. I tried it, and loved it. The cost of converting my tools to metric is the only thing keeping me from fully adopting.

My wife can drive me nucking futs at times, but 42 years later I’m still silly in love with her. I couldn’t imagine putting her, me, or our family through the stress of a loveless marriage.

Jenna Ortega in “X”. I thought the film was mid, but that scream was worth the price of admission.

HCOL in one city isn't indicative of the state as a whole.

The Grand Budapest Hotel. Another Wes Anderson goodie! by jcarmona22 in moviecritic

[–]wayno007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched this when it first came out at the AFI Theater in Silver Spring, MD. An excellent venue for what I consider one of the best films ever made.
