The details in that cartoon are brilliant. The little girl and screaming woman's face, the old man's sweater...

I recently listed to a podcast about Martha Wash which was interesting. It was about her battle with the recording industry surrounding bands being able to use her voice for songs ala Milli Vanilli.

I wonder if Mike Trout and Connor McDavid have a support group that they are the only two members of.
Bandwagon fan of the 2023 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

You guys trying to tell me I need to disambiguate this thread title?

As the mornings after a night (or all day) or drinking get rougher to wake up to, I’ve also found a greater awareness of and appreciation for the exact moment it lifts and i feel “normal” again.

Brother in law had a heart attack yesterday. He survived, but it was in the area of the widow-maker and if the clot had slipped this is a different conversation. He's just 49. He had ignored the classic signs for a couple of days. Fellas, don't do that.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Hope your brother in law is alright. Fucking terrifying stuff.
Without the warning signs, they really don't know how clogged up your arteries are getting.
I only got warning signs that couldn't be ignored after 6 hours of medium level heartburn. My widow maker was 70% blocked, luckily it was one of the "non-widow makers" that was basically shut.

He had been having severe heartburn for 3-4 days. He is awake and getting tests, they may keep him another night, though.Pruitt IV wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:59 amHope your brother in law is alright. Fucking terrifying stuff.

Jesus, hope he gets better soon.

Related to one of last week's Swampcrash questions: I am now older (44) than two U.S. Presidents were when they took office (Teddy Roosevelt and JFK).

I did have a younger one straight up tell me after we went out that she was looking for a sugar baby/daddy situ and I was all like 'you know I'm an artist, right?'

that's not what she wanted
(And it was clear to me by the end of our correspondence that she was following some method or routine of entrapping a sugar daddy that she must've got from a book or the internet or whatever. She was good, but not that good.)

“Aw yeah. This song’s a banger,” I say to my son and his Boy Scout friends in the car as “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” by Paula Cole comes on Spotify.

Dudes who played in the 2000s having kids playing now is just jarring.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I'm kinda not wanting to use my Traeger at all until the bird that decided to nest on it has their babies hatch.
I'm not some birder (one of my friends is though), but I don't want to ruin anything. Younger me wouldn't give a shit about a bird over cooking food.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
We just had something similar that worked itself out. Some birds were building a nest on our little front porch but it kept blowing out or falling before it was complete. I wouldn't have had the heart either to take it down but since it was already failing, I put a little rock up in the spot so they couldn't try a 3rd time. Worst case scenario would have been the dog losing his shit on them every time or a baby/egg falling out where we take him in out or where the kids could see it. Second worst case scenario would be your animal loving kid asking what happens if a baby/egg falls and you answer "vacuum" and she doesn't know you were kidding.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
1) Every other spring, birds try to peel back the mesh I put over my roof vents (I'm sure there's a more technical term) and nest up in there. Super loud if they get past the defenses, as that's where our bedrooms are.
2) During COVID, a bird couple made a home up above our bay window in the backyard. It's covered by the roof, so it's a perfect spot. The first year I noticed,* our now deceased dog ate one of the hatchlings when it fell to the ground, so I blocked it off and we saved two more.
That couple has now comeback the last three years and without puppers, it's a pretty solid homebase for them.
(* - I noticed because that first year of COVID I sat in the backyard almost every day to get out of the house during work hours. The birds went from chirping bloody murder at me everytime I sat down to completely ignoring my presence after about a week.)
Mazel.

Sparrows, me thinks. But could also be a Finch.
When I get home I'll use my new app (Merlin) to either get a song or take a pic to ID them.

I'm using that and Seek (by Naturalist) to ID birds, animals and flowers/plants. It's a game changer for folks that are out and about in nature but don't really have a background/knowledge in identifying what you're looking at.
Seek can go back through photos in your "roll," so that's been fun, too.

My wife has been using Merlin for a few years. It’s fantastic.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
