i'm surprised no one has mentioned how incredible kendrick was on snl last night.
Just caught his first performance, wow, that was some crazy shit. You could look in his eyes and see he was on some next level stuff. I'd definitely catch a set like that at 'roo!

Does anybody actually know how to fold a fitted sheet properly? I need tales from the other side. I really want to be able to do it, but it seems impossible each time I try.

You got to do it on your bed. You can't stand and hold it.

I always do it standing up, personally (Go-go gadget legs!). If you put your index fingers in the fitted corners, you can match them up fairly easily and begin your folding process then.
You know what, fuck it, just use the diagram Dave Maynar posted No way to convey what I'm trying to say clearly without a video or something. And I partially use the bed as well when folding them.

I'm going to try it as soon as my sheets are finished in the dryer! I always try to do it standing up, so maybe I'll have more luck folding it on the bed.
St. Vincent + Future Islands for about $55. Love FI, never paid all that much attention to St. Vincent.
Yay or Nay?
I would listen to St. Vincent first to see if you liked her, otherwise I'd say no. Her being on the bill adds like 25-30 bucks on the ticket, so you could just wait until FI comes around solo to see them for half the cost.

Pet peeve of mine: People who COMPLETELY revamp an online recipe, but review it anyway...
Hey, ya goof, if you've swapped out or completely changed more than half a dozen ingredients, you aren't making the same thing anymore and you should shut up*
*The only time this doesn't bother me is if they've made it properly the first time and are suggesting a tweak for improvement.

I would like to officially nominate Salt Lake City for the commune. it's cold but incredibly gorgeous, easy to navigate, lots of good music and fine arts, and the people are nice and so much more laid-back than in my current Bible Belt location... there are amazing places to ski, the Univeristy of Utah hospital system is impressive, and the library is beautiful:
Nope, no way. You said the C word. Commune needs to be on a tropical island please.

I realized that there never was a year 0. The years, as we retroactively number them, go from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. (Internet confirmed this). But of course this is inconsistent, given that there's been an even number ending every century before and since (years 100, 200, 1900, 2000, etc.) This means that the first century B.C. was short a year in relation to all other centuries. This bothers me greatly.
I don't know why this epiphany chose to come to me while I was working out at the gym.

People in 1 BC probably had greater things to worry about. I don't think there was a countdown going on so keeping track of centuries was probably not a thing then.
The fitted sheet discussion got me thinking about the love of my life--my wife I also love Roo but alas--the two don't mix as I love the camping part of it and she is a fan of more comfortable lodging. So my question is this: what would be a great festival to start a tradition of domestic festival bliss? Please don't suggest RV or VIP Roo as I am not really a VIP guy and admittedly I love the freedom of being unattached at Roo--I simply enjoy being able to see as much music as possible that weekend. A couple of clues about her-- she likes rock, folk and country but she doesn't yet enjoy rap or edm genres. She would rather be hot than cold. She does fine with crowds. Doesn't have to be four star lodging but a bed/shower clean hotel nearby is a plus. Bonus points for other things nearby to do before or after festival. Less than 20 hour drive also a plus. We live in Indiana. Perhaps Hangout? Thoughts or advice? I'm a guy that likes to research stuff but love to hear from people who have actually been there. Thanks in advance.

There are also crazy rules for when and how you can buy alcohol. I don't mind living in places with disease, pestilence, and violence. But I refuse to live anywhere that you can't buy any type of alcohol at any time of day or night.
Besides when BC ended that day it would have been 0 BC and the calendar would have just reset to AD time.
By that same logic, we should have just skipped over 2000 and gone from 1999 straight to 2001. While the idea of a year zero, taken on its own, sounds strange and kind of like not a real thing, it should have been there for consistency in our counting. Don't let chaos reign!
This same bad numbering is how I convince my kids that I have eleven fingers.*
*On one hand, count down from 10 to 6, then on the other count up from 1 to 5, then add together 5 and 6. Kids are gullible.

well, a year ending in 9 ends every century. I just look at it as if it became the 0 year after the first day of 1 and 0 AD began the new century. Or 1 was the 9. Gotta go focus on my lunch right now.
That one has some definite appeal. About a 15 hour drive and the time of year would likely work too. I think she would like taking a a side excursion to Boston as well. She has a little more mainstream taste in music so I will be watching that lineup drop which I believe is around January.
If she wants to visit Boston and likes main stream music, you should definitely keep your eye on Boston Calling (there are usually two-May and September). I have my presale ticket for May already.
Also keep in mind that most festivals, even when they are camping fests, you can always hotel near by and drive in each day. One of the guys in my Mountain Jam crew is from Indiana and drives up every year. I know that LD has stayed at a hotel there and driven in before. Flanzo used to rent a cabin nearby. Not sure if she's a jam lady.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Actually, the year ending in 00 ends every century. That's because the first year of the century is always the one that ends in 01... just like the beginning of the first century was 1 A.D. It ended with the year 100, and then 101-200 was the second century. That's also why there were a bunch of sticklers (admittedly I was one of them) who made a stink that the year 2000 wasn't such a big deal, b/c it was the year 2001 that was the real beginning of the new millennium. Seinfeld even had an episode about that.
In fact, both issues could have been solved if we just had a friggin' year zero!! Now I'm more upset than before!!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one driven crazy by this kind of thing. This sort of ambiguity drives me bonkers at work, too (I do budgets and manage grants and shiz, and there's always discrepancy between how to do things among different funding agencies).

But if BC doesnt function as a negative year relative to AD rather just a classification of year there's relatively no merit in having a year 0. That lives outside of classification. Could we have a species without a genus?

Oh my goodness. You're right. For some reason it had not occurred to me: 1st century B.C. isn't short a year, as it counts backwards from 100 to 1, mirroring 1st century A.D. The numbering is fine. I literally just breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks for coming to the rescue with your superior analytics, chico.
Now y'all can keep talking about fitted sheets or whatever.

Countdowns just work different, man. Zero is non-existent. 2000 was the beginning of the 21st century. 100 was the beginning of the 2nd. We're always a year behind. Actually I don't think year one truly registered until it's final day. Everything before and after BC was 0-1. Just let it go and you'll be much more at peace.
Well, technically the 21st century did begin on 1-1-01. Learned something new today.
