Nice! One of my favourite games.

Great catch! Thanks for sharing. Nice to know someone somewhere had a really good day when they came up with that.

It was wild! Be sure to take a digital camera. I took 200+ photos. Changing film would have been nerve-wracking on a doors-off flight.

 

Helicopter tour, 2012. Still one of the best hours of my life.

That's a good reason to alphabetize by artist (chronological by release).

 

Here are a few to get things started:

Don Henley's The Boys of Summer as an 80s synth tune

Bossa nova version of Crowded House's Don't Dream It's Over

Reggae-ish version of Aretha Franklin's Respect

A capella men's ensemble version of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance

EDIT: This has been great, everyone. Thank you all for the terrific links and for introducing me to a number of artists I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Seriously, the online rabbit-holes have been thoroughly enjoyable--even if I stayed up a bit too late a number of times.

Worth it.

Something about this put a big goofy grin on my face. Thank you!

P.S. Adding this to my "Unconventional Covers" playlist.

Yep... narrowing in on the culprit (lygus bug aka western tarnished plant bug). Tracked down a local source of castile soap in case they start pissin' me off.

Hello all. I know next to nothing about gardening, but that's still more than the person I live with, so that means the gardening is my department (fine with me, really).

Saw a number of these bugs on some sedum recently. Any idea what it is? None of the leaves appear eaten or otherwise damaged.

Do I need to take action? or shall I just leave them be?

P.S. I'm on the Canadian prairies, btw.

Yeah... sounds about right.

Thanks

 

Just curious... Advice? Opinions?

I checked back in briefly today and it seems like reddit is currently tearing itself apart.

How so?

I'm also a recent transplant. I too find the (current) lack of activity in certain niche areas disappointing, but I'm hoping that's temporary. I hope discussions of some of those topics can survive the inevitable fragmentation among instances.

On the other hand, I've installed Jerboa on my phone, and it's working very well. Now I've just got to get busy participating in those niche communities--could be tricky, 'coz the ones I often liked best were the ones I knew the least about. I enjoyed learning from people who already knew the ropes.

The discovery of IRC (text-based). It was like BBS chat only with people from around the entire world.

How would one mute the word Reddit? I took a look at the options in settings but didn't find anything that appeared relevant to me. What did I miss?

Highlight of the weekend was some light yard work and spending way too much time watching Reddit go dark on Reddark. Hard to describe the sensation of watching so many subs go, one by one--sometimes in a bunch at the top of the hour as another timezone reached midnight. It was a mix of elation and dread.

 

RIF had pride of place on the home screen, too.

Thanks for all the hard work on this app. I'm enjoying it a lot already.

A picture I took on vacation some years ago (kind of a earthporn/cloudporn hybrid)

 

Is this documented anywhere? Just curious.

 

To those who started in one tradition then began following another, what was your experience of that transition, and why did you make it?
