re: Power back on estimate BR area are in.
Posted by Jimbojambojumbo on 5/14/24 at 6:51 am
We lucked up. Blinked out 2 or 3 times and that was it.
We usually lose power for 24 hours or more with even the most basic thunder storm or wind event. Was legit shocked we didn’t lose power. ...
re: 4 hours of Saturday morning cartoons and commercials on NBC from 1991

[quote]That's around when the cartoons started to suck[/quote]
Yeah, kind of an agree - still fun to get a look at a slice of tv life from the past.
1981-1987 were the prime cartoon years for me. It was such a fun memory to just sit for a few hours eating cereal, playing with action figur...
re: How many people have gotten 15 years out of a car/truck?
Posted by Jimbojambojumbo on 5/8/24 at 9:58 am
I had a 2003 Honda Element that was a fantastic daily driver. I sadly wrecked it after 13 years - so didn’t quite make the 15 mark.
But the car was solid. Had no major issues aside from replacing a fuel pump and an alternator. It drove well, was handy for hauling stuff for projects and got ...

[quote]The ridiculous prices of these trucks is in no way sustainable. Just outrageous.[/quote]
Sadly rather than prices going down - the auto industry is opting to make 10 year auto loans the norm and unwise people seem to be ok with that. ...
re: Cocaine Commercial From the Early Seventies
Posted by Jimbojambojumbo on 4/17/24 at 7:18 am
That was pretty rad. I love the sound of a live band in the 70s.
Kind of wish the mix of the backup singers was a little more balanced but it provided a very cool live feel nonetheless. ...

And sadly, he’ll have 10 injury-free straight seasons with the next team he plays for. That’s the real curse. ...
re: Elderly people in the UK being told their houses are too big for them & they need to sell
Posted by Jimbojambojumbo on 4/2/24 at 9:20 pm
[quote]I wonder how many in this thread actually read the article. [/quote]
Yeah, just reading the letter made it seem like it was targeted at long vacant or blighted properties - not houses they deemed too big for people.
But…. On the flip side…
I suppose a controlling entity with ulteri...

re: Any one have a great wallet?
Posted by Jimbojambojumbo on 3/27/24 at 3:20 pm
I received a bi-fold bison leather wallet that a family member purchased while on a vacation in Cody, Wyoming.
15 years later and it hardly shows any wear.
It also came with a lifetime replacement/repair warranty - though at this point, I doubt I’ll ever need it.
Best wallet I’ve ever ...

Streaming definitely hurt the cinema.
What makes it almost unrecoverable is that the studios are fully behind streaming because they can play the long game on recovering their investments and further exploit the “Hollywood” accounting that screws e...
re: Why do dealers make car buying so difficult
Posted by Jimbojambojumbo on 2/17/24 at 3:49 pm
For the people that scoff at things like CarMax and Carvana - the dealer experience is the reason those places were created.
I respect folks that enjoy the process of haggling and negotiation - but a lot of people just want to see a price and pay that price. They pay more - every time - but th...

My younger brother.
He was a really smart, charismatic, funny and handsome guy. Had a really great job in retail management on the West Coast that had some great potential to move into a really well paying career.
Got into meth in his mid-20s and it broke his brain.
