I have done this a number of times and always seems to work.

A playing partner hits a bad shot, gets angry after a poor shot and throws a club. My reponse... pull out a club from my own bag and throw it up the fairway. Works every time! It is either met with laughter or serious confusion.

One time I was in a tournament with a friend as my partner. He knew about this technique. One of the others in our group threw a club. We both proceeded to throw a club down the fairway, then caps, then even a shirt. The intial angry dude was dumbfounded lol. He didn't do it again though.

I'm feeling nostalgic and have been thinking about all those TV themes that were almost as memorable as the shows themselves.

What's a TV theme that you absolutely loved?

Could be an 80s or 90s classic, something cheesy, something you still know every note of, or even a theme you think was better than the actual show 😂

I'll start with Growing Pains "Show me that smile again...."

What are yours?

I’ve been getting seriously nostalgic for 90s radio lately.

Spotify is great and all, but sometimes I just want to turn something on and have someone else pick the music. Give me the jingles, random songs I haven’t heard in years, cheesy ads, countdowns and that whole 90s radio vibe.

So what was your go-to station back in the day, or what do you listen to now when you want a proper dose of 90s nostalgia?

I’m looking for some new stations to check out. 🎶

As per the title. Let me know if interested

About 11 years ago I became housebound with ME/CFS. My world got very small. I went from having a normal routine and making plans to spending most of my time at home and in my bed.

One of the biggest things I learned was how important it is to have something meaningful to work towards, even if it is something small. We all need purpose in our life.

I had always loved 80s and 90s nostalgia, especially the feeling of old radio. The surprises, the jingles, the TV themes, the random moments you never expected.

So I started building a little online radio project.

The progress was incredibly slow. Some days I could only work on it for a just few minutes. Some days I couldn't do anything at all. But I kept chipping away at it whenever I had the energy from my bed.

Over time it became something much bigger than I expected. People started listening, sharing it, and telling me they really enjoy all the music and memories.

The biggest thing it gave me wasn't the project itself. It was the feeling that I could still create something meaningful, even from a bedroom, even with limitations.

For years I felt like my illness had taken away my ability to contribute. This reminded me that there are still ways to make a positive impact, even if they look different from what you imagined.

Has anyone else found a small project or hobby that helped them change direction during a difficult period?

About 11 years ago I became housebound with ME/CFS. My life changed almost overnight. I went from having a normal routine to spending most of my time in the same room.

One thing I discovered was that having a project, something that gave me purpose, made a huge difference mentally.

I've always loved 80s and 90s nostalgia, so I slowly started putting together an online radio station. Not just the music, but all the little things I remembered growing up with. TV themes, old jingles, movie clips, and those random moments that gave radio its personality.

Progress was painfully slow. Some days I'd only manage a few minutes before needing to stop. Other days I couldn't work on it at all.

I never expected much from it. I mainly built it because it gave me something positive to focus on.

Gradually people started finding it. It's now had loads of downloads, has a good number of regular listeners, and somehow it has a 5-star rating. I honestly never expected that.

For a long time my illness made me feel like I wasn't contributing anything anymore. Building this reminded me that even when life changes completely, it's still possible to create something that other people genuinely enjoy, even if you're doing it from your bed.

Has anyone else found an unexpected hobby or project that helped them through a difficult time?

Lately I’ve been a bit tired of how music feels now.
I keep jumping between playlists, skipping tracks, scrolling recommendations… and it doesn’t feel that relaxing anymore.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I kind of miss when it was simpler, like just putting something on and leaving it.

How do you all usually listen?

I’ve been trying to reduce my reliance on algorithm-driven apps and constant streaming services, especially for music.

Spotify has been kinda convenient, but I don’t really like how much control the algorithm has over what I end up listening to. I’ve been curious what others here do instead.

Do you:

• use radio (online or traditional)?
• build local/offline libraries?
• use something more curated or intentional?
• go back to vinyl, downloads, or mixes?

I’m mostly interested in how people here handle music in a more intentional or low-noise way without defaulting to Spotify-style recommendations.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you.

SQGROW has been on a strong move this week, up roughly 70%, and it feels like momentum is starting to build again after a long period of quiet consolidation. What’s interesting is that this isn’t just a random hype spike this time around — there’s been increasing focus on ecosystem development, especially around **SilentSwap**, which is starting to get more attention in discussions.

SilentSwap is being positioned as a privacy-focused, cross-chain swapping protocol within the SquidGrow ecosystem. The idea is that users can swap assets across chains in a non-custodial way, with added privacy features compared to typical DEX aggregators. If it actually gains meaningful usage (not just announcements), it could give SQGROW a real utility-driven narrative rather than purely speculative momentum.

People are also starting to look at how tools like SilentSwap could drive volume back into the ecosystem if adoption increases. Even modest usage growth could create more attention around SQGROW, especially in a market where liquidity and narratives matter a lot for smaller caps.

At the same time, it’s still important to stay realistic , moves like this can be fast in both directions, and low liquidity environments can exaggerate volatility. But from a sentiment perspective, this feels like one of those phases where attention is slowly rotating back in.

Not calling anything here, just observing that the combination of recent price action + SilentSwap narrative is bringing SQGROW back onto more watchlists. Whether that turns into a sustained run or just another short-term spike will likely depend on actual usage and follow-through, not just hype.

I’ve been digging into retro radio culture lately and came across this reddit post from last year of a radio station that tries to recreate the feel of 80s/90s broadcasting rather than just playing a nostalgia playlist.

Instead of only music, it mixes in things like:

• era-style jingles
• short DJ-style segments
• occasional movie/TV audio clips between songs

It’s trying to replicate how radio actually felt back then, not just what the charts looked like.

It got me thinking about how much of the “feel” of that era came from the presentation around the music, not just the tracks themselves.

As someone who remembers actual FM radio in that period, I’m curious:

Do you think modern retro stations get it right when they strip everything down to continuous music, or does that remove part of what made it feel authentic?

Would love to hear what other people who actually lived through that era think.

I’ve noticed a trend with a lot of modern “retro” or 80s/90s radio stations: they strip everything down to just continuous music.

No DJs. No station IDs. No jingles. No ads. Just back-to-back tracks from the era.

On one hand, it makes sense, people often just want the music without interruption, and it’s cleaner and easier to listen to in the background.

But I keep wondering if something gets lost in the process. I found an authentic retro radio with music, old jingles, movie quotes, TV Themes etc. in this reddit post last year and after tuning in, it got me thinking.

If you go back and listen to actual radio broadcasts from the 80s and 90s, they weren’t just music playlists. They were very produced experiences:

• DJs talking between tracks and building personality
• Station jingles constantly reinforcing identity
• Short audio segments, ads, and promos breaking up the flow
• A very intentional “broadcast rhythm” rather than uninterrupted playback

That whole layer shaped how the music felt at the time. It wasn’t just what you heard, it was how it was framed.

So I’m curious where people land on this:

Do retro radio stations actually lose authenticity when they remove DJs, jingles, and era-style broadcast elements?

Or is “authenticity” in this case better defined as just the music itself, without all the old broadcast structure?
