  • I am comprised of 90 some children and also was alive in the 90s, but sheltered. Looking up the quote from the image shows that it's a lyric from "She Talks to Angels" by The Black Crowes.

    I'm not sure about the background image. I think it might be artists who were popular in the 90s, but that's more than half just guessing.

  • A while ago there was a reddit post about how you don't need bagged popcorn to pop popcorn. You don't even need any of them there fancy air poppers. All you need is a glass container and the popcorn itself. And it's true!

    The only part that presented any trouble was finding a safe container with a safe lid - during the process of popping, an individual kernel is super warm, so if it hits a lid that can't tolerate that it can melt pits into the lid.

    Other than that (and making sure you don't add too much popcorn, that stuff expands like crazy), just dump the kernels into your container, cover it up (don't forget to vent as appropriate) and then microwave as you would the bagged stuff. Add your seasonings, shake up the container, and enjoy.

  • Where I grew up, there was a town that had been intentionally flooded to make a reservoir, or so my parents told me; they claimed that when the reservoir was low, you could see the top of the church steeple. At the time, I drove past the area nearly daily and would often survey the waters, but never found anything that was likely to be more than shadows or a trick of the eye. At the time, I had barely learned of climate change and so wasn't worried about it; I just liked the idea of a structurally intact, intentionally flooded city.

    I just looked it up to make sure I was remembering the details correctly. It turns out that either I misremembered or my parents exaggerated. The town apparently existed and was flooded, but at the time of flooding consisted of foundations and one very tall flagpole. Apparently it's a common pastime of kayakers and the like to look for the top of the flagpole. This is probably what my parents were referring to.

    Still pretty cool, though.

  • Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do; I'm half crazy, all for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage, but you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

  • I know of one rest stop that offers stalls with doors, but half of the door is removed so that they can see if someone is partaking of questionable substances in there.

    I have heard of several, but that's the only one I've seen myself.

  • I've been curious about this recently after seeing all the reviews for MindsEye. I'd never heard of it until a few days ago, yet all the reviewers I pay attention to are talking about how it's the worst game ever, while the footage they show makes it look fine. I haven't played it, so I can't disagree with them, but the vitriol for something that appears to be completely average is surprising.

  • I was refraining from posting this, so I'm very glad someone else did. Back when we were masked up, I always appreciated the Maryland flag masks the most and made sure to compliment their wearers.
