[IIL] Rise Against's third album, Siren Song of the Counter Culture [WEWIL]?

Looking for melodic hardcore, the "punkier" side of pop-punk, and a mix of clean and screamo vocals. I like their other albums but Siren Song is my favorite.

Changing prescription lenses to non-prescription blue light lenses (USA)

I got LASIK but still love the look of frames. Where can I go to swap out prescription lenses for non-prescription blue light lenses? I have about 4 frames I'd like to do this with. Is this something LensCrafters can do? Any online stores?

94.5 The Buzz playlist from 2008-2010

My music taste has changed a lot over the years, but I recently heard The Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin in a store and it brought me right back to listening to The Buzz in high school. I'm curious if there are records kept of what radio stations played in past years. I remember a lot of Bush, Alice in Chains, Blue October, Metallica, etc. but would love some specific song titles to jog my memory so I can make an angsty high school playlist!

I know I could probably look up rock charts from those years but I also remember that The Buzz played a good mix of recent hits and older songs. Knowing what they specifically were playing would be awesome.

Are there any albums as fun to sing along to as A Fever You Can't Sweat Out?

I just listened to the entire album all the way through on a road trip and it's by far my favorite to sing along to. I don't know if it's the quirky lyrics, the speed in which they're delivered, the melodies, or what, but it's just such great fun. What other records match it in terms of sing-along-ability? Specifically not P!ATD albums.

Underrated jokes/gags

There are several scenes that consistently get quoted as "funniest" - the roundabout scene in season 4, border crossing in season 2, Jesper Society in season 5. I'm rewatching now for the millionth time and trying to take note of underappreciated jokes that don't often get mentioned.

Which are your favorite?

Here are some of mine:

-Hot Baby, the hot sauce for babies

-The entire concept of Surviving Essex, such a perfect parody of the plethora of police procedurals with really dumb premises

-Liquorice calling Chantal CHAN-tuhl

-When the second chair prosecuting attorney goes up to Polly and says "I have good news and bad news" and she makes him leave and do it again

-Leading Women to Lead lady: "They're all Greek, which is... new... for us"

Womens exercise clothing - help!

I live a very sedentary lifestyle + work an office job and would like to start moving more to build strength and endurance. I'm 33 and have noticed I tire more easily and am less sure on my feet than I was in my 20s. However, workout clothes intimidate the hell out of me as a midsize/plus size woman (is size 18 even midsize?!).

What do y'all wear to exercise? I'm a total newbie and my main goals are to feel stronger and more agile. I am strictly NOT tracking weight or weighing myself.

Issues I've run into in the past:

-Sports bras that ride up in the band

-Inner thigh chafing when wearing shorts (I've tried all the glide-on products like Bodyglide with very little success)

-Pants/shorts bunching up at the crotch

-Leggings that constantly ride down, forcing me to pull them up every 30 minutes

I'm in the US and don't want to spend a fortune. I don't do Amazon. Old Navy is about my price point - do they still make decent active wear? Any specific plus size brands you'd recommend? Thanks!

USA. I work in a smallish office, 30 employees with anywhere from 10-20 people in the office at any one time. Our bathrooms stock Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper, the kind with the scalloped edges ("Smooth Tear"), which works fine and is nice and plush for #1. However, when going #2 at work, I find that it rips and pills easily when wiping and I can never get that fully clean feeling because the paper breaks upon wiping and leaves residue. At home I use the Kirkland brand which is much stronger and is not prone to breaking. A delightfully clean wipe.

Is there a professional, non gross way I can bring this up to our wonderful office manager, who is in charge of all office supply purchases? I'd rather not have to talk about my anus in the process, especially because she is also our HR person.

Edit: lol didn't anticipate this ruffling so many feathers
