Girls are cool, i could care less about guns or monster. To this day I have never had a redbull or monster and I am fine keeping it that way. It's like not smoking, if you just don't have them you can never get addicted.

I will say wayyy back when i was in high school they had just released mountain dew amp energy drink and i did have that a bunch. This was like early 2000's. I think it still exists but last i saw its a giant can now, back then it was a small can like redbull. Thankfully i never had any others after that.

    The closest one to me is NY and I dont live in NY so it's not going to happen as much as I would have liked it to haha. Im not that far either, probably would take an hour or hour and a half to get to it, but the extra cost paying for bridge tolls and parking, or taking the train in just is not worth it these days. If I was 20 years younger I absolutely would have made it happen, but these days just getting to see it is a win.

    It's hard for me to get time to go to a movie in theaters. I have wanted to see this one since last year. I can't remember the last time I ever had this much trouble trying to find a seat. I thought i would be able to get in for this weekend and realized it was all gone at like 5 imax theaters that are sort of in my area. I started to realize all the seats were gone till its out of imax which is aug 5th. Had to get tickets to a 10pm weekday show this week to get semi ok seats. At least they are running a 50% off for the weekdays which sort of makes up for it. Cant wait to finally see it, although im defintely going to suffer the next day at work if i won't get home till 2am... yolo? Lol

    Loaded question! When i was younger I had a list of stuff i wanted to try like classic rock which moved to other more obscure genres from the past while also keeping up with what was newer and semi popular through websites, articles, and local radio.

    I have always gotten most music off my private pirate sites and use local apps to stream my entire library on my phone, pc, or anything else everywhere. It has gotten so good lately that it can build out radio style mixes based off popular track information and even using AI (first time i have ever thought it was useful) to build playlists of similar tracks in the library based off individual wave lengths to get the best accuracy. I tried using spotify once when i got 6 months free and found that i only used it like 3 times and found it more dificult to find what i wanted or new stuff to check out weirdly enough. These days i mostly just download whats new for artists i already know and see them in the top 10 of my pirate sites or just new stuff in the top 10 that fits the genres i like. At the end of the year ill check out top 50 lists to see if i missed anything and ill get them as well. Its worked out pretty good for the past 20 years now although as i get older it gets harder to find the time or interest in it like I used to...

    This is the same tile that existed when we moved in 10 years ago. Over the years, our kids have splashed water out while playing in bathtub and some toilet accidents... it has caused some areas to start showing hairline cracks revealing the big tile is really just a bunch of small ones placed together. Is there any easy fix to cover this somehow, or will my only real option to redo the entire floor? Thanks!

    Thanks for the comments, and the answers are lining up with my thoughts. You are all correct, there have been countless lazy attempts in the house where they cut corners, so it would not be surprising if they did that here as well. Guess redoing this at some point is the #1 option.

     

    Everyone knows one of the best things NJ has to offer is homemade bagels. I was curious what everyone's best bagel spot is. A few years ago, I saw this asked on the other site, and I saw some great suggestions.

    I bring it up because today I actually got to try the one that was mentioned the most, and im happy to say it did not disappoint. The name is Bagel Train, and technically, it's in NY but only about 30 seconds over the border. This one may have taken 1st place for me. Before this, my favorite was Hot Bagels in Fairlawn. Has anyone else got some suggestions for the best of the best?

     

    Our 11 year old dog Domino just passed early this morning. She was the world to our family. Sweetest dog I have ever known, and as this was my first pet, I have to say this is an extremely hard day. Here is a pic of her several months ago giving us love. I only hope we gave her a great life.

    TIL Turner Doomsday Video (en.m.wikipedia.org)
     

    The Turner Doomsday Video is the internal title of an apocalypticism video intended to be broadcast by CNN at the end of the world. The video, created at the direction of CNN founder Ted Turner before the network's 1980 launch, is a performance of the Christian hymn "Nearer, My God, To Thee" performed by multiple members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine bands.

    It was never seen by the public until it was leaked in 2015 by a former intern.
