    according to my mom, she loved when Benny Hill was on when I was a baby 'cause it was the only thing that would shut me up.

  College landscape changed so much since I graduated 20 years ago - now there's "merit aid", aka tuition discount inventive to attend.

    We had this in the late eighties - get a distinction and have your tuition refunded for that course, into an account of your choosing - ie. not back into your parent's account :=).

    In my experience the app is just slow and laggy. The Apple TV version seems to be the only one that runs decently. Everything else is a test of patience.

    Yup, slow and laggy and occasionally crashes for no reason. And trying to skip around by dragging the progress bar on the ipad app is a nightmare. But at least HBO is fully aware that their app sucks https://www.vulture.com/article/hbo-max-app-crash-problem-fix.html

    Yeah I noticed it crashes and is frequently slow. The UI is like Netflix from 15 years ago.

    I felt a particular joy last night watching for the first time since its theatrical release. Beyond nostalgia, I think one of the best action comedies that's more satisfying than a lot of what's come out since, as cheesy as it may seem today.

    That used to be one of my go-to's for auditioning HT gear back in the day - the helicopter scene with the bridge and the box truck was mind-bending aurally at the time!

    I choose not to question the mysterious ways of SBAF's overlords, for they are wiser than us and their decisions are likely only fully understandable by the Gods. That, I think, is the healthy attitude to take.

    My feeling is that people generally hate Slipknot, recordings not conducive to mid-fi+ audio chains, but I still occasionally queue them up because I'm a fan of Joey Jordison.

    One of my all-time favorites. I hated 1979 when it came out since the video came on MTV every 1/2 second, but I love it now.
    
    Saw Billy Corgan do an unmic'd solo version at Ryman Auditorium and it was one of the best concert moments I've ever witnessed.

    Mustang GT is fun for not too much money. My buddy bought one a couple years ago and has gradually added factory performance packages to where it’s now just shy of 500hp.

    Some people think that they will die if near someone without a mask. When put in a perceived life or death situation, they may resort to violence. But there’s the irony of physical contact......

    Perhaps the only good thing about HIV/AIDS was that people could, ever after, walk into a shop and buy condoms. Embarrassment gone. Although, come to think of it, I never tried walking down the street wearing one.
