I have this one. It’s hurricane force when turned up all the way. never had a problem pushing anything with it.
I also recently bought an electric hedge trimmer, which I love. Should have bought one years ago, it saves so much time compared to hand clippers.
Not going to downvote you because your tastes are your tastes. But it’s kind of sad that the artists you like can’t come up with more than one or two good songs per album. Or maybe it’s the industry itself since so few people buy albums. When I used to buy albums my favorite song was never the hit single.
Linda Ronstadt - What’s New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)
Not really, your tastes are very similar to mine. Although “What’s New” was just a gateway drug and now my music library is full of albums by Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O’Day, Carmen McRae, Joao Gilberto, Frank Sinatra and more.
Doing my bit to support the open web. Plus, while it’s probably just familiarity, I’ve always felt that Firefox works with me while Chrome works against me.
Planespotting.
Here in the US, there are a lot of regional cultures so the “rules” vary a lot from place to place. Using one of your examples, it’s very common where I live to greet the driver when you get on a bus and thank them when you leave. But I’ve been told that would seem weird in other parts of the country.
I would never greet an entire waiting room at a doctor’s office. I’d assume most of the people there are anxious and/or not feeling well and not in the mood for social interaction. Excluding organized events (conferences and meetings and the like), I can’t think of any circumstance where I would say hello to an entire room of random strangers.
Cool! I loved my Palm PDA back in the day, but mine wasn’t nearly as fancy as that.
In my 60’s. According to Internet sources, shorthand was taught in schools until the 1990’s. It’s likely that shorthand use declined as PCs became common in offices.
I’m old enough to remember when shorthand was a required course for women in secretarial schools. I always though it was black magic and very cool.
Ubuntu 9.04, because of WUBI (anyone remember that?). Unstable as hell, but allowed you to run a near bare metal Linux install without the hassle of setting up dual-booting and a separate partition. Liked Ubuntu it so much that I soon replaced Windows completely. Currently running Debian, so I haven’t strayed far from the family.
