The Citadel

I love Matt's Offroad Recovery. He's based out of Southern Utah and some of the recoveries he does are pretty amazing.

I've been a fan of Expedition Overland for years as well. I've met most them at various shows and they're all super into Toyota's. The ...

Nonsense is great, which is why Yellow Ledbetter will always be one of my favorites.

For the sampled lyrics, More Ghosts 'n' Stuff by Deadmau5 uses vocals from the 1950s movie The Brain from Planet Arous. It's kind of cool and works pretty well. I know L'Orange has a bunch but of old radio type ...

I've been on a '90s kick the past couple of days and forgot about some absolute gems from that era.

Cornerstone - Brimful of Asha
For the longest time I had zero idea what this song was even about, but I loved it. I know now because I've looked it up in recent years, but but then I didn't have a ...

Oops, fat fingered one.

Puzzle #853

Easier one for me.

Strands #587
“That's branding”

I have no idea why this one threw me today.

I love all the NYT games and do my daily rotation through them. My favorite will always be the crossword though.

I'm not a fan of some of the themes with Strands, though, and I hate when they put in words that aren't really all that familiar to people. Like today, RAGOUT and TAGINE ...

So what should I be considering? What I'm considering now (FX45 of the same year) costs roughly $12-14k with about 50k mi on it. I can already hear you saying Model Y, but I have issues with its overall muskiness.


I'm not sure I'd look at an older EV. Battery technology has changed so much that ...

I have such an eclectic taste in music. In the same drive, I can go from listening to country to rap to classic rock to electronica to grunge. I do have a few songs that are meaningful to me, though.

Darius Rucker - Wagon Wheel
When my son was little, he loved this song, and I would sing it to ...

Since we're all car nerds on some level, I figured we should have a thread talking about what we all drive.

I have a 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad double cab long bed. I live in a remote area with limited snow plowing, so I need a vehicle with 4WD and good ground clearance to navigate the snow ...

A bunch. I worked in an art gallery/jewelry store during college and was promoted to gallery manager upon graduation. After that, I began my career in healthcare as a medical anthropologist, but it lasted only 11 months before the health system had to cut all non-essential office staff, resulting in ...

I admittedly know nothing about Taylor Swift and can probably name only a handful of songs. What I'm surprised about on the new album though is that there's an entire song dedicated to Travis Kelce's penis. I get a lot of music is sexual in nature, but having someone with such a big name be so ...

I've watched a few seasons of The Expanse, but my wife is keen on watching it now so I'm excited to actually go through the entire thing. Supposedly, there might be a Season 7 and 8 coming, but I'm not sure.

I'll probably watch The Chair Company since I like Tim Robinson. I'm also kind of looking ...

I have an entire folder of work memes that I use to respond to most Teams messages. Here are some of my favorites:

Unpopular opinions here, I don't understand pickup trucks much at all. I guess this thing can be configured as a pickup with a cover, which seems like it kinda sucks, or I guess some kind of two-door hatchback? I don't know a ton about all of the possible configurations of this vehicle ...

I'm from BFE Northern Michigan and live in a log cabin away from people because...well you've met people so I assume you understand my desire to get away from them. I split my time between Michigan and Utah (I'm currently in Utah). I'm in Salt Lake roughly 15-20% of the year, which gets a little old ...

Currently I've been playing Starfield with some mods and Dorfromantik when I'm sitting on conference calls.

Mass Effect is my favorite series by far. Nothing ever sucked me in like that and I recently played through the trilogy again and it was as good as I remembered.

Diablo II will always be a favorite however D3 and D4 were awful, but D2 will always hold a special place in my heart for nearly making ...
