I propose we pronounce the izz in blizzard similarly to pizza.

/ˈbli.d͡zɑɹd/

For consistency. And definitely not so that we can lead into it with a mamma mia.

And steakhouses in Texas also love this trick!

Gonna have to actually use this one next time I lock myself out of my computer.

This was pretty much how I operated when I was single, but my wife won’t tolerate below 55 at night. I had a 600 ft² apartment, and my power bills were $150 in summer and $25 in winter. But now my wife and I have a 1,500 ft² house so that’s just not feasible. In summer, I take a cold shower before bed, the thermostat gets left at 71, we put up a box fan on medium, and we sleep with no blanket. That makes things tolerable when the overnight lows are 80 degrees. It’s also what kept the power bills below $250 this summer. We fucking roasted this year. 10 to 15 degrees above average all summer. 90-95 is very tolerable, even when it’s humid. Just drink lots of water and you’ll do alright. But 105-110? Count me the fuck out.

I played bass with a little four piece band in college. I’d listen to a lot of music with the bass turned up so I could learn basslines, practice them, and then build off of them and do my own thing. And it was a pretty easy transition since a bass is strung just like a guitar without a B or high E string. I haven’t played regularly in a long time, but I do find time to get the guitar out and kill time when I’m at home alone here and there. Most of the music I listen to is one of like four different chord progressions, each made up of three or four chords lol

My wife says her mom used to do that and now she can’t hear Santana’s “Smooth” without thinking of The Weather Channel.

I don’t know who is worse: nighttime drivers who don’t turn off their brights; or nighttime drivers who don’t turn on their lights.

I used to own an HR-V. They’re good cars, but slow as stink. They took something with the wind profile of the CR-V and put the same engine in it as the '06 Civic. Still did like high 30s/low 40s on gas most of the time. So that was cool. Plus, it’s pretty spacious. It just needed like 40 more hp. Or a manual. Or both.

It was built on the same platform as the Fit so it’s got the neat rear seats that flip up. Seriously useful small car. I once hauled a whole ass 60" countertop halfway across the state in it. I guess they just decided the American market wants to go upsize. The Fit is probably one of the best suburban cars ever.

At least we can still buy the VW Golf.

It’s missing Tornado Seasons 1-6, but I’ll allow it.

Fall and winter are the best in Oklahoma. I fucking LOVE the end of the year. We get one or two good snows most years, but it never snows enough to need to salt the roads all the time. It’s 40-60 degrees throughout the entire season. It’s one of our dry seasons so most days are sunny. You can spend basically the entire season outdoors in normal clothes.

I’d move to Seattle or Portland or Denver for the weather, but there’s no way my line of work could afford the cost of living there. Also, my wife’s family is all here and she’s not keen to move 2,000 miles away. Can’t blame her for that.

Don’t forget In a Snowbound Land from Donkey Kong Country 2

Arguably the best track in the game. They only used it a couple times, and it only shows up in some of the last levels.

I agree with you on that. HGSS was major improvement on GSC. Plus, it had a pedometer lol

But GSC honestly scratches that itch I get for classic Pokemon in every way. I missed out on the physical/special split so it took me a while to adjust once I started playing Gen 4-6 (haven’t played past 6).

In short, New Coke might be objectively better, but it’s not Coca-Cola Classic lol

But that’d make a lot of sense when you consider the fact that trees outnumber people like 380:1.
