I still call the Xfinity Series the Busch Series. I'll never change.(Heck, I still immediately think of NASCAR's top tier series as "Winston Cup".)

It will always be the Sears Tower, just like the Chrysler Building will never be anything else. Same with the Petronas Towers. It's just the heritage of the building. Hell, in Fort Lauderdale we have a whole neighborhood called Searstown even though the namesake Sears property has been vacant for what's gotta be at least 20 years now.It's kind of the other way around; it was known as the Sears Tower until 2009, and the naming rights were sold to the Willis Group. By then, the Sears Corporation had long since unoccupied the building.
Like the renaming of companies, sports teams, stadia, bridges, highways, etcetera...there's lots of folks that think of the old name, because it's burned into their consciousness. (Heck, I still immediately think of NASCAR's top tier series as "Winston Cup".) So a lot of Chicagoans still hold onto that name because Sears was once a massive employer to the area that carried a lot of pride. Now they have just a handful of stores, but could have been the equivalent of Amazon had they timed their moves just right.
Weirder still, the Willis Insurance company later merged with another risk management company called Towers Watson. How oddly prophetic is that?

There's an area in Illinois that once had 156 of them in a single neighborhood.You could buy a Sears build-it-yourself home kit for many years. There was even a short-lived town called Sears, Florida between LaBelle and Immokalee which was a sawmill town for the lumber needed to build all those kit homes.
Something I didn't know until yesterday was, this song was by Limp Bizkit:
My cousin used to be heavily into WWE and had several WWE edits of this song he used to burn to CDs back in 2007/2008, but to my knowledge, he never once told me who the artist was and I never bothered to look into it either. Despite knowing about this song for over 15 years, it was honestly completely unknown to me that he was the artist. It wasn't until I saw UltimateYosh's post in the worst song ever thread yesterday that I finally realized it and I feel kind of dumb because you'd think I would have figured it out long before now.
On a related note, it's interesting how they filmed parts of the video on one of the World Trade Centers because I was reading about them just recently.
Oh come on, his songs aren't that bad. If you read my profile on Discord, you'll discover that I like Limp Bizkit and Slipknot.It wasn't until I saw UltimateYosh's post in the worst song ever thread yesterday that I finally realized it and I feel kind of dumb because you'd think I would have figured it out long before now.
Fred Durst doesn’t come close to Corey Taylor’s vocal skills. Limp Bizkit embraced Nu Metal, Slipknot helped found it.Limp Bizkit and Slipknot.
I don’t doubt it, although the video I posted is censored, that song has a lot of explicit language.I have to skip most of the songs when my daughter is in the car due to the language.
I didn’t even say they were bad though. UltimateYosh posting about it in the worst song ever thread was just how learned of the artist responsible.Oh come on, his songs aren't that bad. If you read my profile on Discord, you'll discover that I like Limp Bizkit and Slipknot.
Same here, mate. I never really hated Limp Bizkit.I'm of the age where I like Limp Bizkit, but I'm old.
I wasn't talking about you. I just find it controversial that UltimateYosh posted 3 of his songs in the thread.I didn’t even say they were bad though. UltimateYosh posting about it in the worst song ever thread was just how learned of the artist responsible.
I will admit though, I am not sure Limp Bizkit is for me. This song in particular is like “Crank Dat Soulja Boy” in the sense I like it because it brings back memories and it probably wouldn’t vibe with me otherwise.
I suspected that was what you meant, but I wasn't certain and I didn't want you or anyone else thinking I was bashing him.I wasn't talking about you. I just find it controversial that UltimateYosh posted 3 of his songs in the thread.
Well I ask you to play the song with this:I suspected that was what you meant, but I wasn't certain and I didn't want you or anyone else thinking I was bashing him.
I will say this though, while I like "Rollin'", it certainly isn't for everyone and I can see why one would probably not like it too much.
What do you mean "original"?There’s a heavy recording from the album called Rollin’ Air Raid version with Wu Tang. It’s a better, grittier song that the original.
Doesn't it allow you to watch the video on YouTube?Unfortunately, it says it's not available for me.
OK because it gives me the option to watch on YouTube... Anyway, it's The New 2018 F1 Theme by Brian Tyler.Nope, I assume it's a region lockout sort of thing.
The version you initially posted is the original. The Rollin’ Air Raid version is a remake of the same song on the same album.Unfortunately, it says it's not available for me.

At one time TV screens (there were no monitors yet, at least not for the general public) were measured horizontally. Then Marketing realized they could puff the numbers by measuring diagonally. So your 9" television magically became a 12" TV. But it gets worse. Those measurements were of the viewing area. Marketing started measuring to the outside corners of the picture tube. Now your 9"/12" TV became a 14" TV. But all with the same size picture tube.Something else I just learned today is when computers list the size of their screens, they're measured diagonally from one corner to the other. Like this:
I always thought it was measured from side to side and was confused when my new computer wasn't 16 inches when measured that way. It wasn't until my mom told me I finally knew and it has me wondering yet again how I just now realized it.
I suppose that's one way of looking at it. Another is that early TVs were more round than they were square so the only real way of measuring the screen size was by diameter. This is why TV screen size has pretty much always been described by screen diameter.At one time TV screens (there were no monitors yet, at least not for the general public) were measured horizontally.
