I bought a Tuxedo two years ago. They have affordable (and highly configurable) Linux laptops, some of which are aimed at gamers.

Football (soccer for Muricans), both as a participant and as a spectator.

As a motorcyclist, that's a definite yes. On long trips, it is the wind around the helmet that is one of the most tiring things. Custom plugs allow the rider to hear traffic while being shielded for wind noises.

A good friend of mine has concert plugs and he swears by them, but that has been said earlier in this thread.

Rami Malek comes to mind. If I am not mistaken, he is Egyptian, so not your typical Hollywood white mail.

Phil Collins's solo work is mind-numbingly, eye-bleedingly, toe-curlingly boring and awful.

YES! He's a massive idiot too.

I upvoted you, but you are not entirely right in my opinion.

Not all classical music is created equal. I am quite convinced that if J.S. Bach had lived today, he would make music like Squarepusher. However, somebody like Gustav Holst would probably be in some kind of doom metal or progressive metal.

I started running some 20-odd years ago. It helped me get stability and self-confidence and helped me get my shit together.

It somewhat sounds like 'Ace of Spades'. I am a bit old school. If I hear the name Lemmy, I am reminded of Motorhead.

Having lived in both, I prefer the big city. Aside from numerous reasons already mentioned in this thread, I notice that big city people are more open-minded and more diverse. Being slightly different for whatever reason is more of an issue in a small community.

+1. I am an avid runner and on running days, I wear briefs. On rest days, I prefer shorts.

That sucks. Back here, the company that maintains the electrical grid actively stimulates the people to use such sensors. All in the name of saving energy. There's even a page with vendors on their website.
