You can use a pistachio shell as a key to unlock insufficiently cracked/ side cracked pistachios. Put the tip in, and twist. I shudder to think how many I shrugged as unopenable over the course of my life.

IUG posted:Pantera did break up and some of the members did form another band called "Damageplan". They had one album out and toured. This is when Dimebag Darrel was killed. " 'Was killed?' A guy called 'Dimebag' didn't die of a drug overdose? What's Wikipedia say?..." Wikipedia posted:On December 8, 2004, 34 dates into the Devastation Across The Nation tour[19], Abbott was shot on-stage while performing with Damageplan at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. A crowd of approximately 250 had watched four support acts (two local bands entitled Volume Dealer and 12 Gauge[20], and the tour support Shadows Fall and The Haunted,) when moments into Damageplan's set, 25-year-old former Marine Nathan Gale shot Abbott five times in the head with a 9 mm Beretta 92FS pistol, killing him instantly. Some in attendance initially believed the shooting was part of the act, but as Gale continued shooting, the audience quickly came to the realization that the event was not staged. Firing a total of 15 shots, Gale killed four other people and wounded seven more. Holy poo poo  . That reads like an action movie script. Funny name aside, that cop nailed the guy in the head while he had a hostage in headlock, using a shotgun.

My cousin was at that show, pretty close to the stage, he may have even been acquainted with Dimebag, I don't know. I think he's got a degree of PTSD from it, he started drinking more heavily since then and his marriage fell apart.

You all do realize "ute" is short for "utility", right? As in "utility vehicle". So any sort of vehicle used with that generic purpose would be called a ute.

I went from a little econobox to a small SUV or crossover or whatever they're calling them these days and other than the mpg hit, it's better in every way. Granted I do a ton of outdoorsy poo poo and live beyond the range of municipal snowplowing. Also I just figured out that the ends of the recoil spring in my lawnmower are now so soft from repeated repair attempts that they bend loose and slip after one or two starts. Only took me about 4 1/2 hours of loving with it to come to this conclusion, but I guess I'm really good at rebuilding the pull start assembly now.

The phrase is "deep-seated" not "deep-seeded". I thought it was the latter because it made sense to think that certain things were deeply planted within someone (i.e., a deep-seeded fear of heights, or a deep-seeded fear of water).

Thinking about pistachios, do they still sell the red ones anywhere? I haven't seen any for ages. It's something about how they used to be dyed to cover up imperfections, but now that all pistachios are flawless, I guess, they just sell regular color ones. Which is fine by me, just wondering if there are some places that don't have immaculate natural pistachios.

Hyperlynx posted:I know the etymology. I have never heard anyone call a vehicle a "ute" that wasn't a car sized thing with a tray at the back. I work occasionally on goods vehicle certification in Australia. There's the 'style side' ute where the tray is integrated with the passenger cabin and the 'cab-chassis' ute where the passenger cabin is separate to the tray and the tray can be swapped for other purpose made bodies with toolboxes, refridgerated storage, etc. "Ute" can be used for 2WD vehicles but also the part time 4WD with transfer case type of ute with more ground clearance. Traditionally Australians would only use 'truck' to describe something over 4.5t GVM which requires a light rigid license rather than the standard drivers license for passenger cars. Whereas Americans seem to use 'truck' for things like F150 you can drive with a standard passenger car license. The 2WD Australian made utes are disappearing and the design rules for vehicles are being harmonised with international regulations so we're seeing more manufacturers selling utes in Australia. In the marketing and literature you're seeing 'pickup' and 'truck' used a lot more for what most people consider to be utes and that upsets people as creeping Americanisation.

'ute' is etymologically derived from 'utility' but is not synonymous.

SUVs have a wagon style body. Toyota had branded the Hilux Ute as an 'Action Utility Vehicle' a while back, which was pretty hokey.

Now I kind a want to look and see what it would cost to get one of these Australian El Camino's imported into the US, but I already suspect it's going to be way more expensive than the novelty value of one would be worth.

GM almost made a US model a few years ago (they had been bringing over the sedan version as a Pontiac fora few years.) Would've also been branded as a Pontiac, but then they axed Pontiac.

Would've also been branded as a Pontiac, but then they axed Pontiac. To be honest, I would love a modern El Camino style vehicle. I'm a single person, and it would be nice to be able to haul larger things without having to enlist someone's truck. As it stands I rarely have a passenger so the other 3 seats aren't used often.

I can't believe I just figured out that a belt for men's slacks is more than just decorative. I have had long term relationships with men, lived with men, have tons of male friends, hang out on the internet with men, and this never dawned on me until now. Of course I've worn belts with pants and jeans, but there wasn't an appreciable difference in pants-hitching needed unless the garment in question was too big to begin with. So that's what I figured the point was, if not as an accessory, a belt is for making ill-fitting pants less annoying. It finally hit me when I realized men's slacks are generally not made of stretchy fabric. I have some non-stretchy slacks too, but I don't need a belt 'cause my hips hold them up. But a dude probably isn't gonna have my waist/hip ratio, so a belt makes the whole slacks-wearing experience more convenient. Dang.

It's a shame men can't wear them visibly without looking like a city hipster appropriating Americana workwear, because those things are so much better than a belt. Bending down with a much lower chance of asscrack? Yes please. Not having to adjust pants constantly? Yes please. No more belts wearing out the holes from overuse? Yes please. Wearing them under my scrub top changed my entire work experience. Then again I am rapidly becoming an old, so maybe I should just roll with it.
