I wasn't suggesting it makes it impossible, just that it creates an obstacle 😁

Karen Doyle2 said:They have those two—I think they’re called "Bistro Left" and "Bistro Right"... I always found that concept pretty hilarious. 😁

I believe "lijevo" has been around for quite a few years now, if my memory serves me right.

The definitive list of things that drive me crazy when I have a sore throat:

1. Beer drinking
2. Drinking all other liquids
3. eating food
4. sleeping
5. sudden head movements

:dirdirdir:

I’m genuinely impressed.

Honestly, if a band from a small town like Des Moines puts on a show that high-caliber, I might just pack my bags and head out to rural Nebraska to spend some time rolling around in the mud. 🙂

Tyler Grant86 said:that’s exactly why we should be pushing for a lineup that actually reflects what the majority of the club members want—something centered more on entertainment. To me, concerts like this one feel more like a rare exception that proves the rule rather than the standard expectation...

Speaking for those of us who aren't official members, I’d say please keep these exceptions coming as often as possible. Thanks.

Man, this is becoming a total obsession. You’ve got the entire discography now, for God's sake.

So, what is my old avatar doing hanging around here?

Wait, since when did this thread turn into a space for everyone’s personal Scrobbler top lists?

My current most hated printer:

the Epson Stylus 1520 color

is absolute garbage.

Look, I’m not involved in this, and honestly, I find the whole thing pretty tedious too. 🙂

This Sinfest is actually quite good. Amen.

Drew Adams58 said:Aaaaante, just leave me alone already...

The death of Severin is all because of this one thing and every idiot who sang it to me when we first met.

Uuughhh!!! 😠
death.

Why are you getting so worked up? The guy clearly wrote "no tea."
Besides, tea is supposed to be served lukewarm anyway.
The only thing that actually needs to be hot is the burgers.

hollowseal33 said:1. outside the County General hospital (green, green, green, green is the color of love)

To me, that particular shade of green has always looked a bit too much like the color of gangrene, though I suppose that’s just a side effect of the setting.

Carol Jackson45 said:I can't stand it when people draw totally different elements—like load-bearing walls mixed in with furniture—all on one single layer and then just slap a different color on them to tell them apart. It drives me crazy.

Man, that is easily one of the most nonsensical and unproductive habits I've ever seen.🙂
I have never once understood what people are actually trying to achieve by doing that. Is it just to make the screen look colorful?

Michael Newman50 Daniel Bailey7 said:I was just thinking back to how I constantly ended up hitting my nose every single time I went to open the new refrigerator. It felt like you needed a bit of Bob Saget’s comedic timing just to navigate toward the handle without an accident; the way the door swung out meant that bending down slightly would send your face straight into the path of the opening door.

Anyone who uses the phrase "Bob Saget" just to make a joke about him deserves to be hit by a bus.

brightridge19 Daniel Bailey7 said:When working in AutoCAD, I’ve found that there is a distinct advantage to sticking exclusively to closed polylines rather than relying on the standard line command. Even when you just need to get from point A to point B, bypassing the basic line tool in favor of a continuous, closed loop creates a much more cohesive workflow. It’s like choosing to build a structure using integrated modular components instead of laying individual bricks one by one; while both methods technically get the job done, the modular approach offers a level of structural integrity and ease of manipulation that simple lines just can't match.

Amen. 😬

There is one particular thing about AutoCAD users that always seems to get under my skin:

If you don't clean up your layers before passing a drawing off to someone else, it’s basically a death sentence. 🙂

I happened to stumble upon the lead singer from Nickelback last night (I actually spotted their CD tucked away in the hard rock section over at Best Buy 🙂), just like how you might be waiting for someone outside an apartment complex in Chicago, though that building looked more like a run-down corner shop. To top it all off, I ended up having a brief encounter with a George Clooney lookalike sporting vampire teeth made out of toothpicks...

Carol Jackson45 said:1. During high school masquerade parties, specifically when I slipped all the way down the stairs from Times Square down to the basement.

Oh, are you talking about that party in Times Square? I actually had practice right before, so I hadn't touched a drop. I showed up stone-cold sober and just left immediately because everyone else was wasted, and I’ve always hated being the only one in a room where nobody is on my level.

Here are my favorite falls:

I cracked my left forearm while skiing (well, technically it happened right outside a bar at 3:00 AM, but let's call it what we want)
Then, just a month later, I got back on my bike for the first time and managed to wreck my right arm in the exact same fashion. A Rottweiler lunged at me, and I ended up doing a full somersault over everything.

Aside from those incidents, I haven't really broken anything else. It’s just one of those things where bad luck decides to strike twice.

brightridge19 said:draz, hauevr, they probably think those look better with some extra shine...

Good grief, what on earth were you all doing over there? Did you decide to paint yourselves black and then go rolling around in the rain?

Man, I actually managed to chip a tooth while I was snacking on some prosciutto, hell yeah.

hollowseal33 said:It wasn't actually that bad, though I have to admit I was pretty shaken up when I saw how bloody his mouth looked and could feel with my tongue that his lip was basically torn apart and he was missing part of his tooth 😳

I honestly thought half his teeth had been knocked out 🙂 but even under those lights, it didn't end up looking quite as gruesome as I expected...

brightridge19 said:and then they go ahead and compare their own photography to the work of Marco Crast, who is easily one of the top CGI artists in the US

Jojo in the stars, or whatever else they come up with. It’s fine, I guess. A bit dark, though, if you ask me.

Harold Wright54 said:we could put together a list of the best Metallica album covers

Hmm... 🤔

I’d lay it out like this:

Metallica
Killers
The Number of the Beast
Piece of Mind
Powerslave
Live After Death
Somewhere in Time
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
No Prayer for the Dying

... and that pretty much covers the classic era. Everything after that is honestly kind of a letdown. Does that work for you? 🙂
