I hate that after a decade and more has passed since I last saw that godforsaken video I STILL have that song stuck in my head.

Suffer: https://youtu.be/QFCSXr6qnv4

I am blissfully unaware of most of this stuff,. I had to look up "Charlie the unicorn"...I do remember the "Annoying Orange" however.

@crenca you are not missing very much at all, and I'd argue it actually helps quality of life not knowing these :))

Poe's Law states that an extreme viewpoint can be indistinguishable from a parody.

The Stereophile author should read the well-known interview with J Gordon Holt about honesty.

What amounts to "weighted blankets" for your components is really some next-level anxiety projection.

What kind of crazy upside down world is this when how a man orders his pizza changes for no good reason!

Sounds like the influence of online ordering... When you order online, don't you have to choose for each topping, whether you'd like it on the whole pizza or on half? So first you mark the whole ingredients, and then the ones on half the pizza?

I've asked for a pizza with /one/ olive. That is more than enough for me for a whole pizza.

I explained to my 5 year old that Pluto was always a planet and always will be, and that "Big Astronomy" has motivations of its own...

Reading your first status I thought of the Disney character and then I thought of a character from two Neal Stephenson novels but oddly I didn’t think of the celestial body at all! Another win for Big Astronomy

The movie with strong men?

Oh it’s easy - you just cradle the other guy’s balls in your hand and say “This is your piece, your sound system is not.”

We should put that on the front page. You have me laughing my ass off. :)

Sept/Oct is where I landed in line.

The Starlett doesn't have endlessly rollable tubes, nor does it really need it. Just listen to music

I'm planning an upgrade to my tube amp as well...those two (and a Glenn OTL) are the top of the list. Looking forward to your impressions (In the fall I guess)

The hoarder in me wants to :P

@Lyander shoot me PM if you want to pick up an OG Liquid Carbon (120V) given the (preposed) similarities to BW2. I Canz Make Dealz!

I've been lusting over a BW2 for years now, just no funds :( Good luck with the sale!

I'm from German heritage and wife is from British/Polish. Not much motivation to embrace the cuisine of our ancestors. We already cook most meals from scratch but mostly go to the other end of the flavor spectrum with a lot of Mexican, Thai, Spicy Chinese dishes. Last night was Hunan Beef with Naga King chiles to break a good sweat.

@Biodegraded, I have heard that song before! @crazychile, I am envious. If I had the patience/interest I would do more in the kitchen, but the truth is I don't like the kitchen.

A girlfriend said, "Why do you put salt in your cooking?"
Me, "Because it makes it taste better."
Her, "No. It makes it tastes of salt."

I stopped. For a while, I overcompensated with garlic.

Now, I don't add any salt when cooking (a few micrograms in omelete or scrambled) or on the plate. Over thirty years later, I can say, for sure, she was right.

My children are "ad free" - I don't want them to grow up as mindless consumers who think its OK to obtain thirty year mortgages ;)

Wutang Financial!

I'm on a free trial of Premium and plan to continue the subscription when trial lapses May 14. It's less than $3 per month my end so makes sense, and is greatly convenient too since I spend an unhealthy amount of time on the platform :))

LOL wedding reggae, dying

I saw this video before I heard the Maroon 5 song, I laughed.

Honestly why drag Maroon 5 into this? Just flush them away until they bother to sound like living organisms again. At least Pink is not afraid to sound alive on her songs.

I guess I am 1/3 of the way to 666...just was viewing this funcitonality on my profile and I must have accidentally posted ;)
