1·3 days agoConvinced. Sounds like I need to invest in a horn. I’m clearly lacking civility.

142·4 days agoShoe horns. My 86 year old father in law still uses one and swears by it. Doesn’t put shoes without the assistance of the horn. I’ve seen it in action, and it seems to work? Even on some tied shoes!
My parents smoked Reds indoors their entire life. I essentially smelled like an ashtray throughout childhood until I moved out for college. Even experienced respiratory issues throughout high school sports. Used to have to borrow my grandma’s portable O2 tank to use for practice breaks. I feel this, and I hate it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I'm curious: Are all the songs in your favorite music album masterpieces? or how do you determine an album is one of your favorites?English
2·4 days agoRight on! I still own N2O. Easily one of the best tube shooters ever. The N2O in a CD player was a fun party trick, alongside scanning backwards from track 1 on Less Than Jake’s “Losing Streak.” Made the hidden bonus song(s) at the end of the CD technique seem amateur.

1·5 days agoDopethrone is such a great album. I should have included it in my list. Mclusky Do Dallas was one of my favorite albums from my time co-DJing on college radio. Also had A.R.E. Weapons on heavy rotation those days.

3·5 days agoI find there are very few albums that are great beginning to end, and I’m not including “greatest hits” or “Best of…” collections.
- The Crystal Method - Vegas
- Bad Mojos - Songs that Make You Wanna Die!
- GZA - Pro Tools
- Sloppy Seconds - Destroyed (guilty pleasure of mine)
- Eddy Current Suppression Ring - Primary Colours

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•I finally finished my project: an emulation console for the kidsEnglish
3·13 days agoCould plasti-dip the case also. But like you suggested, a can of Rustoleum and be done with it. Or just have the kids sticker bomb it.
Have a few gallons of gasoline in there too. Thinking it was smart to build it away from the house.
You’re spot on! If this thing fails, everything inside just gets covered with a tarp. HOA be damned.
Thank you! Shed screwed down to the wood frame foundation, foundation held in place with some strategically placed rebar.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some good, casual mobile games.
3·19 days agoI’ve been mildly addicted to Threes for nearly 13 years now. It’s my go-to when having to wait for anything, which is especially handy when you’re as impatient as I am (getting old). Also keeps me from doom scrolling. Just best score chasing, run based, number matching goodness.
