my wife got me into it and i can barely sleep without some noise now, a pedestal blasting is probably my favourite.

bogans are always racing and doing burnouts on my street but the white noise helps a ton

Yea,much of that hasn't aged well for sure. Still, some funny quotes and moments that me and a buddy still reference.

“Redheads aren’t a race, Jonah.” “But, sir, there’s heaps of them! They’re everywhere!"

I thought he did it with affection for the Maori people, who were not offended by it. I only heard other white comedic actors bringing it up as offensive.

But yes, it was a fun watch

I have THREE noise makers in the bedroom. Each tuned at different frequency. I have one I call boomy cause it go real low. This is the life of ocd sleeper with tinnitus. I even take boomy on vacations. I have a problem.

Now sure how I feel about the new RealGM update. On one hand, it's nice to not have massive quote blocks to scroll past. But the slider bar and the tiny text of the previous posts in the new block is sort of hard to read.

Oh we definitely had a sound machine going, it was doing nothing with the drag racing noise. That **** sounded like it was right outside our window, it was crazy. Literally shook the bed.

Everyone watching White Lotus? Parker Posey has been flawless as one of those UNC ladies and Jason Isaacs has been a very believable good ole boy.

No Carolina bbq debates yet, but would recommend the board Aussies check it out if you want to see what some people around here sound and act like.
