Back in my day when you were a tipped employee, it was because you were actually providing customer service with a decent amount of skill - not handing me a bag or pizza.
Also your dogs don't need to stay in an temperature controlled environment 100% of the time. I get bringing them in for severe weather but they aren't as fragile as you are. It isn't animal abuse to have a outside/farm dog.
The guy who fixed our AC the other day said people will actually leave theirs on ALL DAY for their dogs. I love my dogs, but no. It doesn't even get that hot here!
i have an Away mode for my A/C that automatically kicks in when I leave the premise - if it gets hotter than 76, the A/C will bump back on. but the cats would be fine at a couple degrees higher im sure; i just personally dont want to walk into an 80 degree house each time i get home in the summer.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I think Childers is good, and I am happy for his success, but he is nowhere near as good as Sturgill or Isbell. I bet if you asked him he'd say the same thing.
When I was flying out to Chicago for Dead Co Wrigley the women in front of me spent the whole flight alternating between reading Fox News and texting her friends that she’s going to going to Chicago for Childers and she hopes she survives.

Childers is great but I'm also surprised how big he blew up in a short time. He was fantastic at Newport folk fest and I've been wanting to see him live again since then

Sturgill and Isabell might be more talented musically but Childers is far superior in song writing. He is able to weave a story of southern/hillbilly/Appalachia (latch-uh) and the complex problems and history of the people and area with out sugar coating or dooming an entire group of people.

This is a good yell at the sky: I understand why people like Childers, rural music, Isabell, Sturgill - but, maybe JUST maybe, my upraising put different music in my ears and I just can't get down the way our friends here do. Not saying there's never been crossover, just saying maybe, JUST maybe, that style of music will never resonate for me? It sucks to feel guilty about it and that you are being contrary.
I was not familiar with this Tyler Childers you guys speak of. So I gave it a listen.

There are definitely genes/styles of music I don't feel any connection to or draw toward.

I'm just sad I have to caveat that whole statement to not seem like a reverse racist or "stupid". I've felt a lot of guilt lately that the gap seems to be increasing between tastes between my friends. I feel like I have to be very careful with every word I say.

I've got a nano. Have looked at and almost bought updated/upgraded ipod touches off eBay. The ones that have expanded ssd storage and Bluetooth and maybe better battery. I miss it.
But I also know that I technically could just use my old phone which has no cell service but can still store a ton of mp3s on and act like an ipod so I don't drain my main phone. I did load a ton of my library on it at one point but then ended up not using it.

I think isbell does that really well though. Probably because he honed his songwriting chops with the Drive By Truckers, who do it better than anyone.
STEM lord kids/Gen Z do not know how to live with other people. I had a roommate, same age demographic, that was into arts and music so (as it seems) would keep his door wide open when we hit the 80 degree area with humidity that we are at. This new guy. Is obsessed with closed doors and turning everything off like fans that push air out of the house (THERE IS NO UPWARDS VENTILATION HERE on Floor 3) - so literally heat will just stagnate and make life unbearable for me because I'M NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE MY DOOR OPEN EITHER. So there's zero air flow increased temps and humidity just baking the hallway, as if he lost utter context that heat goes upwards and that free air flow is the only means to cool down the situation. I feel like I'm talking to a fucking brick wall of "I KNOW EVERYTHING" BUT let me watch a youtube video on it.
He also is the one who wanted to use my wok for meat. Orders constant grubhub (basically doordash). Never puts away his dishes. Expects me to take out all garbage and recycling. And he wonders why after he denied my disability why I do not interact with him. Also having two locks on your fucking door sounds a bit fucking paranoid or is that just me? He is allowed to do whatever he wants and what's worse is that he gets sweaty so now I'll try to move out to the couch when it gets hot in this room and he'll have all the lights on it and be sleeping on the couch. WTF do I do?
edit: Also my other roommate who's not here half of the week, left their door open on purpose, because they don't have a fucking window. He closed their door. He put a large plant where the laptop goes when we want to watch tv/films (same spot he overtook by putting his bong on my fucking laptop) - and the plant will not survive there without a heat lamp... which is WHY WE NEVER HAD PLANTS IN THE HOUSE. It's just pure hubris - he also called me dirty and expects me to talk to him. Because his ass sleeps on the floor and "apparently" a cockroach crawled on him (NEVER IN 2 YEARS have I seen a cockroach - mice, yes, and we can work on that but....I KNOW the walls are now pretty much sealed up). Also it's him blaming us for something that we know is coming from next door or from too much action below us, but he doesn't ask us. He DEMANDS from us.

I haven't read the entire thread so apologies if this has been discussed. BUT. I CANNOT STAND. When you go to a restaurant and they give you a QR code to get to the menu. Bro give me a REAL FUCKING MENU.
Jason Isbell is the greatest songwriter of our cloud-shouting generation.
Yeah he's really a once in a generation songwriting talent. Years ago when Sturgill was on Marons podcast Isbell came up. Marc asked him if he'd listened to "Southeastern" and Sturgill said he'd started to but stopped. It was just so good he couldn't handle listening to it.
And I kind of get it. Like if I was a songwriter and suddenly heard "Cover Me Up" I'd be like well shit, never going to write anything close to that.
But I mean Sturgill wrote "Call To Arms" which fuckin rocks. Song makes me shake violently and scream "wooo!!"
I haven't read the entire thread so apologies if this has been discussed. BUT. I CANNOT STAND. When you go to a restaurant and they give you a QR code to get to the menu. Bro give me a REAL FUCKING MENU.
I have never understood this. I direct people to the QR code and they snap at me for a menu (which is out of date bc we have the codes) and I’m immediately going to give this person minimal service. Especially when I have to take the time to be like “basically everything is a different price now and we don’t this or this” blah blah. And then that person turns around and is on their phone anyways lol. Even if you have a “no phone at dinner” policy you wanna abide by it takes up as much time as staring at paper for 5 minutes. Cutting back on paper menus is more efficient in so many ways. Less paper waste (and cost) bc they don’t need to be reprinted to reflect new specials nor do they have to constantly replaced when they get gross. We also don’t have to print a bunch of those little stand alone flyers for new drinks and stuff. Plus, on that end, less people complaining about sticky menus that have been making the rounds all day.
Anyways yeah it’s a tragically weird hill people want to die on.

I want to read it on something more than the 3 inch screen on my phone. Besides, I bring MY phone into the restaurant. I get these days everyone has a smart phone, but what if I didn't? Or didn't have it with me? Then I just don't get to see the menu? It fucking annoys me. It reminds me of the Bill Burr joke. Where he complains about going into the sandwich shop and having to do half the work. "Here's your sandwich the condiments are over there, you can finish putting it together yourself".
