This one is pretty great too:

Anyone switched from a gas tank water heater to an electric tankless water heater? We have a fairly small home (1400 sq/ft), two adults and a toddler, run the dishwasher most days and laundry a couple times a week. Would love to reduce some of the natural gas usage in our house, and I kind of want ...

This feeling of living on borrowed time, financially, is so god damn oppressive; I'm so sick of being underpaid/overworked, so sick of knowing I can't financially support my family on my own. If those morons in the federal government torch PSLF I'm going to lose my mind.

I think about this possibility more than I should because the only thing that sucks more than finding a job is finding out just how little you are valued/how shitty the salary is.

It would, perhaps, make sense for me to create a poll about the first film as well; or maybe make a poll about the trilogy (assuming "Beyond the Spider-Verse" will be the end). But I don't really think about the first film at all, and I believe viewing the proposed trilogy as a whole would...

When I was first introduced to Hum (way too late in my life), it completely changed how I view the Deftones because I liked Hum so much more, yet Deftones was wildly more successful; I felt--still feel, I suppose--that the Deftones owe quite a bit to Hum. I've read at least one interview with Chino ...

I have special feeling about Lost Highway....going to see that in the cinema opening night. The projectionist cranked it...the titles with the headlights on the median and the David Bowie groove. That was cool. I would tell a newcomer to start with Blue Velvet. Skip Dune, it really and truly sucks....

My wife and I ended up playing "Lords of Waterdeep" with some friends, and I was surprised by how fun it was, I was even more surprised by how much my wife liked it; we ended up buying a copy the next day, and have, naturally, been unable to take it up again because our lives are miserably...

I voted for Britt Walford, but I really wanted to vote for Rey Washam, there's something about their drumming that fascinates/enthralls me; John Stanier has this effect on me as well, just to a lesser degree. Mac and Todd are undeniably great drummers, but neither grabs my attention the way Britt/Re...

Val Kilmer passed away, and some folks were talking about his work in the RIP v2 thread. There may have been an old "crap/not crap" about him, but I didn't see one for the new iteration of the board. When I was a teenager, some older, wiser, friends of mine proclaimed to me that Val Kilmer...
