sznowicki, in What's a movie you don't really watch but your damn proud to have on your shelf?

Empire of The Sun and Fiddler on The Roof. Two classics, one with young Christian Bale, stupidity of war when people stop being humans, and second about dark Europe history but also love, family, getting older.

Two absolute essentials.

Kusimulkku, in How are you all making it right now with grocery store prices?

Buying cheaper stuff. Doing fine I guess

Socsa, in How are you all making it right now with grocery store prices?

My spreadsheet shows my grocery costs are about 12% higher than last year. A difference of around $10/wk.

Sir_Fridge, in What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

I quite like stromae on occasion. And I’m a fan of rammstein, but while I don’t speak German I do understand it reasonably well so I’m not sure that counts

reversebananimals, (edited ) in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

Billy Corgan.

The music of Smashing Pumpkins got me through some very dark times as a teenager, but finding out he hates me because I’m gay snapped that personal connection. I’m usually able to separate the art from the artist and still enjoy good stuff made by bad people, but I’m not able to enjoy them anymore. The connection was too personal and the betrayal was too great.

Synthead,

Billy attempted to sell an Alesis SR-16 that was used in his band for $30k. It’s a $100 drum machine. He was selling it himself. No charity or anything; he just tried to hyper-inflate a very common drum machine that is still produced because he thought he added that value to it by owning it. That was pretty weird.

Cenzorrll,

I mean, in the sense of music history it is worth more than any other random one you can find on the street. But maybe somewhere around $500 - $1000 if it was signed by the band.

distantsounds,

Smashing Pumpkins in the 90s were so good, but yeah fuck Billy Corgan.

Seudo, (edited ) in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

We have to work out what intelligence is before we can develop AI. Sentient AI? Forget about it!

joe_archer, in Have you ever seen coal burn? If yes, why?

I have open fires in my house, it was built in the 1840s so yes.

This is very common in the uk, though in many places smokeless replacements for coal are legally required.

RBWells, in How do I stop a crush from developing further?

Your feelings are yours, personally I’d just wallow in it and feel it and do absolutely nothing about it, you don’t need to tell her, a crush is by definition sort of a fantasy thing. It’s not her, it’s some dream person you’ve attached to her. But I’m old so have been through this more times. It gets easier and then it gets fun.

Tikiporch, (edited ) in What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?

Double Double Oaked bourbon, you could only find it for sale on site at the distiller in Kentucky. It tastes like sweet charcoal.

RunOnSmoothFrozenIce,

Ooh, that sounds amazing. What distillery???

Tikiporch,

Woodford Reserve. They make a Double Oaked you can find in most liquor stores. I’d try that first, but I don’t think they taste all that similar. The double double is much oakier in flavor, but the nose is similarly pleasant.

Hikermick, (edited ) in Have you ever seen coal burn? If yes, why?

A friend of mine bought a literal ton of coal for $75 to heat his pole barn in a wood burner that could also be used to burn coal. His chimney wasn’t tall enough and wind would drag the smoke down to ground level as it passed over the gambrel roof. It was nasty. I believe later on I learned that coal from my region is of poor quality and gets sent overseas
