That’s a big drive.

Lots of 311 on the discman (with cassette adapter) on our road trips to Salem, Illinois for roller hockey league nights with the boys.

RC needs to be higher.

I agree with (possibly) none of McConnell’s policies and I’ll never forgive him for the un-American things he did as senate majority leader. I certainly don’t care for him but that it is quite sad to see him like this. I hope he can make a graceful exit from politics and live the rest of his years in peace.

I was really hoping someone would recommend a great pillow for side sleepers who suffer from hellasious morning neck pains. I need help.

Great call on Roger Rabbit. Hope the kids today see this fine film. Excellent stuff!

I was 17 when this movie came out. Very popular among my circle of friends and is quoted often. However, the movie isn’t quite as innocent when you’re 45. I still call it my favorite movie, it is, but not in a weird pedo way.

Beautiful Girls (1996)

I had been on Mediacom since I moved back to my hometown in 2003. In the beginning it was a nice service other than terrible phone support. Occasionally you’d need to call if the modem took a shit, wiring issues, billing issues, or provision new hardware. I don’t know when, let’s say 2013, they introduced data caps, tiered plans, and overage fees. Let me just say, fuck you Mediacom, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you! Every year in December and January we’d go over because the kids would get new games for Christmas. They slowed us down, limited usage, and charged us more. Mediacom fucking sucks!

Thankfully, we were lucky to get fiber wired up around town last summer. Many small towns are now running fiber in this area and I couldn’t be happier. Service has been exceptional, I pay less than Mediacom ($85/mo), and no bullshit charges. Fast internet that just works. Check out Conxxus and see if they are near where you’re living. Good luck!

My favorite Mexican place that I’ve been eating at for 15+ years is still offering a fair price. I’ve never really paid attention to prices before but it’s been a real kick in the balls lately to dine out! My wife and I can eat there for $20. Vegetable fajita and garden quesadilla with waters. Their delicious salsa is made in house too, not sure about the chips. The kitchen doesn’t always hit a home run but most of the time it’s phenomenal. Not kidding, I feel like I’m taking advantage of them, $20! That’s literally what I paid on date night in 1994.

Two watches, one on each wrist.

Appreciate the work on bringing Sync to Lemmy. Long time Reddit and Sync user here. Been lurking on Lemmy for a month but with Sync I feel like I can really enjoy this place. Thanks @ljdawson@lemmy.world !
