This song has their original lead singer, Mike McColgan. He left the band in 1998 to become a firefighter after their first album. If you like his style check out Street Dogs. It's the band he formed in 2002.

I moved from Texas to Connecticut this summer and my property taxes got cut in half and my homeowners insurance is now $10k less a year. My new house cost twice as much as my old one and my mortgage only went up $100.

My half-brother is 20 and I was telling him that at my first IT job how I had to go around to every computer with a CD to install Office. His response, "oh, is that what CDs were for?"

 

I'm not trying to bash them, but this album is unlistenable to me. It sounds like the Foo Fighters doing an impression of post 2006 Davey Havok recorded through a tin can telephone.

I seriously cannot remember the last time I was this disappointed with an album. I only made it to track 5 before putting Revolutions per Minute back on.

What are others thoughts on it?

I was watching Wednesday and was wondering what was up with pilgrim hats. Turns out it was a 19th century Victorian invention that has stuck around to today.

You might want to rethink the nightshirt because it has an Ebeneezer Scrooge vibe to it.

In the episode he did on it he had to borrow it from Pat the NES Punk. Of course that was 14 years ago, so I assume he could have gotten his hands on them since.

Out of curiosity, what would you plug those into to get the best use of them? I couldn't imagine the headphone jack on my motherboard would be able to take full advantage of them.

I don't care what M$ says, Azure DevOps is being left for dead. As someone who worked on the System Center space for years, I know the signs of a product they want to kill but can't. I'm convinced the only reason it is still around is because some internal teams haven't moved to GitHub yet.

Back around this time I was in the military and each base had Public Folders in Outlook where people could post stuff for sale. I left my computer unlocked one day and one of my colleagues posted my car for free on there. This was also back when you would have like 25 MB mailbox limits. Needless to say my inbox got filled up in minutes.

We have Enzo Ferrari being a prick to thank for the birth of Lamborghini, the Shelby Cobra AC, and the Ford GT40

My husky mutt is that way too. The second it snows she just wants to go outside and lay in it. I basically have to force her to come back inside.

I was talking to a friend there and he told me people in the suburbs are having trouble getting their lawns mowed now. So glad I got out of there.

 
 

Just a little graphite and they are working like they're brand new again.

 

And I used gift cards I received for Christmas to buy it.

 

As a life long Superman fan, who grew up on Christopher Reeve, I've been on the fence about this movie but I think this trailer has sold me.

spoilerFuck yeah, Krypto!

 
 

Giants 3 touchdowns, 1 failed PAT, 2 failed 2 point conversions

Washington 7 field goals

Seriously one of the strangest score summaries I've seen.

I think I'm ready to give vegan a try, but I'm struggling with breakfast ideas. Mostly I'd meal prep egg and bacon burritos or just have some toast with jam.

I used to be a cereal person but after having my gallbladder removed I developed an intolerance to lactose. And I haven't found any good alternatives for milk or cheese that I like, so I've basically cut them out of my diet. Plus most cereal is loaded with sugar, and...

I found out yesterday that I'm prediabetic and my cholesterol is a little high. So, I'm trying to move away from animal products and sugar.

I will occasionally have toast with peanut butter and banana on it, but that's so calorie dense, I only eat it on days I know I'll be doing a lot of physical activities. Most days I sit at a desk for 8-10 hours.

So really the only other thing I can think of is oatmeal. And eating a bowl full of something hot is the last thing I want to do after my morning walk. I'm in Texas so it's hot even when I go out at 5 AM.

I'm looking for ideas that can, preferably, be meal prepped or take less than 5 minutes to make. But I'm open to any ideas. Thanks!
