It was 23 years between the Fugees cover “Killing Me Softly” and Roberta Flack’s version.

It’s been 25 years (and counting) between the Fugees cover and now.

[sancarlos]

I’m sure it won’t surprise you to learn that all my headphones and ear buds have cords and that I still use an iPhone 6.

This is irresponsible. For gods sake get a new phone.

You're doing fine, sancarlos. iPhone6 and wired earbuds, unite!

Hey, DSafe! If you are still rocking the iphone6, have also been having the very recent experience that most of your apps won’t update anymore?

(For those who may be wondering, it’s because Apple doesn’t include the iPhone 6 (and older) in their most recent software upgrades.)

So you are saying Wheezer is lining up for a new release huh?

Still using the same phone. I only update the apps I use with any regularity, which isn't many of them (I just updated two apps I may need next week due to some travel, leaving me with eight apps that need updated).

My primary complaint would be that their podcast app is garbage. Seems like half the time you pause a podcast for more than two minutes, you have to re-open the app and wait for it to get back to where you were when you paused.

Pocketcasts is fantastic.

I finally went from a 6 to a (used) XR last fall. I do miss the headphone jack but the extra battery life and smoother processing has been worth it to me.

Funny, I just had to look at my phone to see if I have a jack (I don't). I ditched the 6 a year ago, the battery was completely shot. I did replace the battery on my son's 6 when it completely died. Only $50 at a local repair shop. SE is identical to the 6, but much faster and the new battery is a tremendous relief. I had to keep it plugged in most of the time, and using video or apps killed the battery.

I was replacing batteries for a couple years, but they never lasted as long as the new battery/phone has lasted.

I got a haircut the other day. When I went to pay, the barber asked me if I needed the Senior (65+) discount.

Ouch...

[mister d]

"Yeah, I need the senior discount. The see-in-yer ass in the parking lot discount!"

Yet, nominated, but lost for "Best Alternative Video" that year (Jane's Addiction, "Been Caught Stealing").

I'm being told I have stray grays. But I plucked one and it just seems to be the way the light hits it more than anything. I have browning blonde hair with natural highlights, so they are tough to see.

I think I am losing melanin in my follicles though not quite yet, completely. I'll be 38 in a week and I'm absolutely amazed I didn't go gray 10 years ago with all the stress and bullshit I've dealt with.

Also, I'm finally at 20 years in service and I cannot wait to be a civilian again. First weekend of October next year is going to be so fun.

[Johnny Carwash]

This sounds close to me. It's sort of the ideal color for covering gray. But then I see the clippings when I get my hair cut and it's jarring how gray they look.

[govmentchedda]

Embrace it.

We’ve got guys in here having heart attacks and then the youth crew comes in with “some of my light brown hair is even lighter brown these days”.

Wait til these brats get grey hairs elsewhere. Starts on the chest...

[Steve of phpBB]

Like the song says, if it wasn't for gray hair, I wouldn't have no hair at all.

Started getting random gray chest hairs 10 years ago. Fortunately it hasn't spread from there.

Via the sideburns, yes.

Yeah... ears.

One of my first jobs after university was at a hipster bookstore where the owner had a couple of thick grey hairs coming out of his nostrils... which he NEVER trimmed.

Who leaves the house like that?

[Steve of phpBB]

Who leaves the house like that?

Hypothetically speaking, someone who tries like hell to avoid looking at himself in the mirror.

[wlu_lax6]

[Ryan]

No seriously, what the hell is a Doja Cat?

[mister d]

Heath Ledger of hip hop.

[The Sybian]

Heath Ledger of hip hop.

OMG, you scared me. I thought she OD'd or something. Long live Doja Cat!

Heh, I looked up her song names, because a couple of her songs played constantly when my daughter made me listen to Hits One on Sirius, but I can't remember any of them. She has a song called "I Don't Do Drugs," so OD would be surprising, unless she is lying to all of us!

Flipped to the VMAs for 30 seconds or so last night and just the commercials made me feel old so I changed the channel back to NBC and the comfort of mocking Andy Dalton and the Bears.

[The Sybian]

They still make music videos? And award shows for music videos? Do kids watch music videos? From watching my daughter’s viewing habits, music videos are limited to 10 seconds clips of her friends all doing the same dance some TikTok “star” created.

[tennbengal]

Madonna's butt is trending. So that doesn't make me feel young.

[govmentchedda]

Is she wearing the Prince suit at the Met?

[tennbengal]

Is she wearing the Prince suit at the Met?

something from the VMAs apparently last night? The VMAs are still a thing?

She's still so controversial!!!!

And so British!
