I was lucky enough to see them live and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Exuberantly expensive, but definitely worth it for a once in a lifetime show.

They tend to only play sober or opiate at their shows, not both. They played opiate at the show I went to. I was bumbed not to see sober to be honest but no complaints!

Per the link

Historically it has been the policy of the Food and Drug Administration to allow the artificial coloring of the skins of mature oranges. It is a common practice to color the skins of oranges in certain orange growing areas of the country because of climatic or cultural conditions which cause the oranges to mature while still green in color. The coloring of the skins of oranges is done in one of two ways:

Adding a color to the skin of the orange, Citrus Red No. 2 (21 CFR 74.302(c)) if they are not intended or used for processing and they meet the maturity standards for the states in which they are grown.

Subjecting the orange to ethylene gas by a commercial process. This hastens the blanching process which apparently takes place normally after picking.

I'm using connect for lemmy and it's going good so far. I started reading more about a month ago to try to cut the addiction of reddit.

I've been reading Dracula and Frankenstein and both have been great. I'm reading dracula through Dracula daily, but doing my best to read most of it on soft cover. Frekensiten has been fantastic and I'm almost done. Couldn't recommended it more. There's no modern adaptation that does it justice.

Long story short, it sucks reddit is gone and my addiction to it is real, but lemmy and books specifically has been a good substitute
