I think everyone is just memeing on the original comment.

I'd find the guy who became the first guy to smoke stuff after the original first guy got stopped.

I’m late 30s. I can’t remember <13. So, at least the last 30+ years

Something isn't adding up here...

Thank you for this comment. I wanted to reply but didn't want to add too many personal details, or get into a big argument about it.

In a perfect world, yes, but it's not always easy to change plans at the last minute.

My first thought too, but it didn't work in this case - even opening the link on my PC told me to install the app.

Luckily I found that just replying "yes" to the message worked.

update - after doing some research online, I found I was able to just reply to the text message with "yes" and it confirmed the reservation.

TIL Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" was NOT written to wake up sleeping audience members; that was just a myth (discuss.tchncs.de)

Back in school I heard the story that Haydn wrote the "Surprise Symphony" because he was sick of people sleeping through his music, and wanted to startle them awake. It seems like this was a myth.

From the Wikipedia article:

In Haydn's old age, his biographer Georg August Griesinger asked him whether he wrote this "surprise" to awaken the audience. Haydn replied:

No, but I was interested in surprising the public with something new...

Why do all the cool stories from history end up being made up?

Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.
