  1. I haven't gone thrifting in a while. Does anyone go thrifting for CDs and DVDs? Any good finds?

      Not for scratched up non-remastered crap. And Especially so if they're record club versions like Columbia House (CRC), RCA or BMG. They simply do not sound as good as regular store bought and as you'd imagine, there's plenty of that crap floating around. Can check the spine and rear for the record club tag.

      Yeah well you gotta inspect the discs before buying...

  7. Debris could contain hydrazine, which is a highly toxic and corrosive substance. Any suspected space debris should be considered hazardous. Anyone who suspects they have encountered debris from the space station should report it by calling 911 and stay at least 150 feet away from it.

      I kinda think it is too many music pins at this point. I usually can't hear the music from them anyway as I don't have them in my house.

  8. Are music videos more relevant today in the age of YouTube or BITD with MTV?

      But now? Once in a while someone mentions one in conversation or an email, usually just to point out a band's music...The video just happens to be there.

      Definitely in the 80s, because music itself had a bigger slice of the pop-culture pie; and took a bigger share of people's free time and money.

      I like all seats to be cold. Warm seats of all kinds are gross. It's much easier to pretend that the germs and bacteria from your moist crevices have dissipated when the seat is cold.

      They're going to be warmed up anyway when you sit down for a few minutes.

  11. When I was in 3st grade for creativity writing class I wrote a story about a guy that fell off a cliff, was impaled by a boulder on the way down and his remains eaten by a tarantula.

      I don't know if the forums overall are less active, but I'm less active in the forums than I used to be. It's a lot of "been there, done that". I'll go for weeks without checking the 2600 forum index.

      Saw the 1st episode. Seemed like they were aiming for the most Xtreme things someone might call 911 about, unlike Emergency or Adam-12. Without balance they'll run out soon.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Did that use to be on (or still is) after X-Files? I really like some of the X-Files to the point where I'd turn off the TV afterwards...But yeah they seemed to have some crazy episodes where it seems like it'd be hard to keep up that momentum.

      I thought you meant Rescue 911 with the Shat.
