- Comment on Do air purifiers really reduce dust much? 1 week ago:
My understanding is that the types that are ozone generators don’t remove particles from the air, they charge the particles so that they stick to surfaces and aren’t floating in the air

Right out of school I got a job working in a shitty retail store where we would prank each other. For some reason there was a smoke detector still in the box that had a dying battery and chipped every few minutes. I would hide it in other worker’s aisles in the morning when we would straighten before opening. Fun times
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 2 weeks ago:
Correct answer right there. Politicians and business people are very aware of their body language. Another rule is never touch your face. When they do, photographers will snap a picture. In the photo they will look frustrated
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 2 weeks ago:
Lot of people searching “clutch” right now

IMO a big factor is that the production quality of music (as well as movies and TV) hit a point where it no longer sounds or looks as dated. Digital remastering cleans up any flaws, now the only tip off to the age is content.
Yeah I’m hip to the schmaltzy tunes of the 70’s, I’m a big fan. Looking at you BJ Thomas.
I’m sure there is good rock going on now, it’s just not making it into the mainstream. I’m a product of 80’s punk rock. It never got mainstream attention but it did spawn acts that did in the 90’s.

They have it backwards. Young people think old people had it easy. This is their justification for not trying. Truth is every generation has it’s challenges. Rather than turn to social media for validation, look for information. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone but if you’re facing a challenge, someone before you faced the same. Don’t listen to those who tell you not to try. Listen to folks who succeeded, what worked, what didn’t.
PS The only derogatory I can say about the young generation as a whole is, where the fuck is your rock and roll? You’re listening to your grandparent’s music. Lame.

Maybe it’s because everyone has a clock in their pocket? One that is accurate and doesn’t need batteries changed or altered twice a year
- Comment on A roundabout 4 weeks ago:
Got a few roundabouts in an old residential neighborhood with narrow streets near me. There’s nothing in the middle and the curb is so shallow, it’s tempting to drive right through them
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 4 weeks ago:
Just watched someone explain this but it was about house insurance. When you sign up they give you a replacement dollar amount. Should your house burn to the ground they deduct money from that amount due to depreciation.

I had a retread blow out on my panel truck while peeing into a soft drink cup. Middle of the night in the middle of nowhere Indiana

The media tells them what to care about.

It happens when people tailgate. They over react and it causes an according effect.
- Comment on anon describes conservatives 2 months ago:
They forgot the big one:
Claims to distrust The Media but mindlessly repeats word for word what they heard on TV, radio, social media, podcasts

An American thing? Do people in other countries drive and hold the shotgun too?
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 months ago:
I’ve never been there but have spent lots of time in the PA Wilds, the region which encompasses it and a whole lot more. The reservoir I described is the Allegheny Reservoir to the west of Cherry Springs
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 months ago:
I’ve spent quite a bit of time backpacking in Pennsylvania. One of my favorite places is a reservoir where they lower the water level drastically in the winter months. You can walk out to where it’s normally underwater, lie on your back and have a 360 degree unobstructed view of the night sky. There are so many stars that you can’t pick out constellations. I’ve seen what i assume were satellites, a continous red glare moving incredibly fast and silent. Unfortunately development is encroaching. First a new highway then a casino.
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 3 months ago:
Scan headlines but only read what affects me. These days we hear about all the awful things that happen around the word but our ability to do something about them is still the same as a hundred years ago

- Comment on Old Man Guide to Grooming 3 months ago:
At the barbershop I went to regularly, the women barbers would ask if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed and I always declined. One visit a guy cuts my hair and trims them without asking. What the he’ll was I thinking? I no longer look like the Winter Warlock

Sarcastic humor aside, migratory agricultural work is a thing in the US. Some of my friends did it back in the 80’s. Live in a tent on site, earn by how much you pick, save money because no rent and no place to spend. No federal taxes. Blueberries here, apples there, travel to where the crops need picking. Clean fish in Alaska or work on the boats.
