I was the first in my my friend group in highschool to have a car and a cell phone. My friends would call my cell collect from a payphone and just say where they wanted me to meet them. Never needed a name or explanation, if I got a collect call with a location I would decline it and be there as soon as I could.

The theory that I heard that made the most sense is that he thinks by renaming it he can circumvent the Biden ban on new oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

We were setting up for a concert one time and I was helping the FOH engineer (sound guy) check all the instrument/mic lines. One of the instruments was a Moog synth. I started randomly playing it (I do not play piano or synth) so he could check it. After a couple of seconds he said something about me playing a song and I told him I had never heard of it. Apparently I had accidentally played the opening of a song he really liked.

And here I am still waiting on FEMA to get their shit together and get me the money they owe me from over 3 months ago.

My wife's family drives like this, not just with the pedals but with the wheel too. Instead of turning it to where it needs to be and holding it they turn it to far then over correct back twords center then back to the first spot they turned it to, then overcorrect, and repeat the entire turn. Thankfully I was able to get my wife to stop driving this way when we started dating and now she hates riding with any of her family driving as much as I do.

For the use case scenario OP described I definitely agree that musicians plugs are the way to go. These Etymotics are what I use as my backups if I don't have my custom molds with me.

I got my custom molds for concerts from an audiologist, all in they were $150 and well worth every penny. Also, because they are for work, they got written off on my taxes.

At my old job whenever we had to be at work extra early the next day and we were debating if we should go out drinking anyway my boss would always say "if we are going to be pissed off we might as well be pissed off and hungover." He really did not like mornings.

My wife texted me earlier saying it was a good thing I was out of town. Hers said it was currently 118° with a high of 124°. It barely got into the 60s today.
