Can you name a song your dad listened to/listens to?

Why did you pick that song?

There are no rules around how you choose to pick a song! It could be something meaningful you as a kid or something he listens to now that annoys you!

I’ll go first.

Abadan by Genesis

When I was a kid my dad had a giant 200 disc CD player and he’d buy whole albums to out in it. There were always a lot of Genesis songs playing.

When he got a divorce, he lost most of that, but he always seemed to have Abacab album lying around. I asked him once and he told me why he thinks Abacab was one of the greatest songs ever written.

• What about Early Access Games?
• Do you feel differently about Early Access vs traditional preordering?
• If you are open to the idea in specific circumstances, what are those?
• How do you decide if a game qualifies?

I’m interested in the community thoughts on preordering and I’d love to have a thoughtful discussion on the matter.

Personally, I’m against preordering, except in specific situations where I want to actively support the development of a game.

I have been thinking about this because there is a game I’m considering preordering from a medium sized studio, but the reason I want to preorder is for the IP, rather than the game and it goes against my typical stance on this. The game is based on my favorite book series and part of me wants to encourage more games be made based on this series. At the same time, the book series has found commercial success and as a whole does not need my help.

I did name the specifics here because I’m hoping to encourage discussion on preordering as a whole, rather than my example, but if you want to know, I’ll drop a comment and we can have a discussion in the comment thread. :)

EDIT: thank you all for the thoughtful discussion on this! I expected most people to slam preordering, but there was some very thoughtful dialogue here and that is why I appreciate you, Lemmy!

What’s with all the brand new accounts that post random YSKs then delete their profile? There are a lot of these in YSK and I can’t figure out why.

As seen at my local grocery store.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find much info online about it.

My brain says these probably won't mix together, but I thought I would check with some more experienced woodworkers before wasting my time.

Backstory: Several years ago, my bf bought a house. One room in that house has been completely unusable because there is bad pet urine smells. I've tried everything on the planet to get it out of the hardwood floors. It's definitely better but, not good.

We know it's very likely the floor and the subfloor will need to be replaced, but as a last ditch effort, we've opted to finish the floor and try sealing it with a clear odor blocking primer. We figure, if it doesn't work, we're replacing the floors and if it does work, yay we saved some money. :D

I've been trying to match the finish to the flooring in the rest of the house. The wood appears to be Red Oak. I pulled up a board and checked the end grain. After much research, I suspect the floors were finished with some kind of oil, likely Tung or Linseed.

Current Problem: I know you have to reapply oil periodically so I'm not sure this would work with the primer that my bf already purchased.

If I put the Primer on first, I'm guessing the oil wouldn't properly soak into the wood. If I put the primer on after, will it even adhere?

TLDR: Can I use Tung Oil with a clear primer to seal in pet odor? If so, what order should be be applied?

Thanks ya'll!
PS. I love lurking on this community. You all inspired me to start building more things myself. I'm still learning, but I'm excited about it all.

Ancestry.com Pet DNA test results day Ducky is:

• 53% Dalmatian
• 37% American Pit Bull
• 10% American Staffordshire Terrier

What do you think he is?

Here’s more info about him and some pictures! (For research… but also because he’s a cute boy!)

Always knew he was a Dalmatian Mix. I have a pure bred Dal too. I’m really surprised to see the other breeds, maybe to the point of skepticism. I don’t mind if he was a Pit or Staffy but I just don’t see it in him. Not in his looks or behavior.

He's a natural hunting dog. Stalks his prey and waits for my mark before jumping. I never taught him that.

He’s always spying on the neighbors.

He doesn’t mind letting strangers or kids pet him. And he loves to cuddle with my nephew.

Or sit on my mom. He thinks he is funny.

And he loves to have chats but barking doesn’t come through pictures so well.

Dunkey ain’t wrong. What are they even doing?

Do any of you know about low cost/free vet care in the metro? I have a neighbor that has pets which need health care. I want to give the some info on assistance programs to help, but I haven't been able to find much.

They have a dog that lives outside under a trampoline and I'm worried he may be dealing with flystrike. I'm sure he isn't vaccinated.

They also have cats that aren't spayed/neutered and frequently end up with kittens. One looked in bad shape and they told me it has seizures. When I asked about their vet, they told me that had someone coming by to look at her. No idea what that meant.

I'd rather not have to call Animal Welfare services if I don't have to, but I will. I like animals more than people.

I'll take any recommendations or suggestions you have!
