That's fascinating, I always thought the stuff about bathtubs and lightning was an urban legend, but apparently it's real. Keep in mind that supposedly only 10 to 20 people a year, at least in the States, sustained injuries due to bathing or showering or washing dishes during a lightning storm. But that's more or less on par with the number of people killed by lightning related incidents, and I presume overlaps at least a tiny bit.

I would totally have chosen the beers, but I am being paid to be there, and money trumps beer because more money equals more beer. I am mostly going to the second show to bring a friend who is a big fan who was bummed he would otherwise miss it. But the flip side is that I can drink a beer anytime and these special Pearl Jam shows should be a lot of fun. Band is good live, and it's always neat to see a show at Wrigley Field.

we've been over this 100 times but ilx is just really old and mellow now which is why it's boring. ILH is still cool though

k3vin k., Saturday, 24 November 2018 02:20 (five years ago) link

it was good-boring for like 5 years, been finding it actively bad of late

Excelsior, zing, pvmic, solitary posts are all dead, feels like all the posting is niche, very little communal mirth

rip van wanko, Saturday, 24 November 2018 07:13 (five years ago) link

i agree. i think is because the internet in general doesn't feel fun anymore

Trϵϵship, Saturday, 24 November 2018 07:20 (five years ago) link

fucking 21st century blows.

some good stuff on the dogs thread lately

eoy coming up on ILM

it's all good

and as stated ∞ times the surrounding web is now so horrible that ilx is a relative blessing

niels, Saturday, 24 November 2018 09:39 (five years ago) link

I feel too sad to click on the dogs thread after my dog had a stroke last week and had a bit of a relapse last night, during his slow recovery.

Can't complain too much about ILX, the rest of the internet is much worse.

calzino, Saturday, 24 November 2018 09:57 (five years ago) link

sad to hear that calzino, hope he/she gets well soon
