  • A scale of 1-10 at how likely we could be friends.

  • The US has a single coast-to-coast train called "The Zephyr." It is wildly expensive, and takes multiple days to go from one coast to the other.

    If we had bullet trains, our corporate-owned government would still make them unaffordable.

    It runs by my back yard. It is a laughably small train, as the only people that ride it do it as a "holiday"

  • I'm not sure you could call it a "flex" but the number of people I meet who are almost proud of how bad they are at math is ridiculous. Short of having been diagnosed with dyscalculia, lacking basic mathematics skills as an adult should be on par with not knowing how to read.

    It blows my mind how many other Americans I come across who lack basic understandings of fractions. We use the damn imperial system, which is a whole other issue for a different lemmy rant.

  • Mango, meet Mongo. He also, is not pleased with the situation...

  • My Morning Jacket - In it's Infancy (The Waterfall)

    I found this song and got stoked I might have a new band to dig into. Dammit if the rest of their music isn't boring as shit. I found them so dull, I actually had to come back to this song and make sure I didn't mistake it for another band.

    Same thing happened with Jesus & the Brides of Dracula - Turning Teeth

    The song has a killer vibe, and then when I found out it was The Silversun Pickups I was actually bummed to know they could make such interesting music, but don't.

    To be fair, Disasterpiece wrote the song, but Silversun did something with it much cooler than anything else they've written.

    Space Ghost and Mongo

  • Wooze. Put their entire discography on a playlist, hit shuffle. You're welcome.

    Battle Tapes. Their latest album is a few years old, but it's solid all the way through. Their entire discography is also worth it, though.

  • Before Dave Brockie died, I'd go see GWAR anytime we were both in the same state. Always good. Always worth it.

    RX Bandits are easily worth seeing again and again. Just a powerhouse live energy and some of the most underrated song writing/composition. They are one of those bands I don't tell people about until I'm sure they have decent taste in non-mainstream music. They are touring right now, just got tickets.

    Less Than Jake used to be one of those "assemble all our musician friends, LTJ is back on tour" bands.

    I've seen Hieroglyphics a good number of times. Always worth it.

    The Smoking Popes were an amazing show every time I've seen them as well.

  • Something else to consider, a lot of sandwich places use "deli mayo." it has a much higher fat content than the stuff you can buy at the grocery store. Which, obviously, has a significant effect on flavor and texture.

    It can be a key factor when trying to replicate restaurant recipes.

  • Bitch Menagerie

  • Can confirm.

  • I think "The Skatalites" qualify, simply out of the age of the band.

  • 7zip?

  • Almost anything infrastructure related, however it exists is probably the most efficient cost/maintenance ratio for that area. That is basically the only requirement for the engineers in charge of designing that kind of shit.

    Unless you're the Texas power grid. Then it's literally the cheapest possible way to still be able to bill people for it.

  • Doug TenNapel.

    Dude is a level 10 bastard. But Earthworm Jim was very influential to me as a kid.

    The characters and the sense of humor; It just spoke to me in a weird and powerful way.

    The games, the comics, even the short lived cartoon show was not too shabby.

    Ga-roovy!

  • You win the internet today.

    Thank you for your service

  • I can tell American society is getting exponentially more stupid by how many more cheeky vanity license plates I see as time goes on.

  • Engineer here:

    If I could get AI to put up with a client/architect's bullshit I'd vibe code my way to a life without meetings that could have been emails.
