What was it supposed to be?

His grandfather was named Hiedler, his father was the first Hitler.

Is Heidler still a common name?

The name is Austrian/Bavarian derived from the Bavarian word Hiedl (underground river) and is a variation of Hüttler. I have never met anyone with either name but a quick google search shows there are at least a few with that name. I can’t tell how many. I doubt that even more than 1 in a 1000 people even realize the names are related.

I bet in the early 1930s there were some Charlie Chaplin fans who were rocking the Chaplin mustache but then had to shave it off after Hitler ruined the look for everyone. Hitler is maybe the only person to ruin an entire facial hairstyle. The alt-right Nazis kinda also ruined the Macklemore haircut but I bet in a few years people will forget and it will be okay again.

Interesting stuff. Thanks.

It’s a 28 cent per gallon difference now between cash and credit/debit. I know I’ve whined about this before but once they decided to go above a 10 cent/gallon difference they just keep going, cat’s out Jack. I wonder if the station can set that however they want.

If you’ve got a 5% cashback on gas credit card, I guess you’re still paying about a buck not to have to go in and deal with someone else. I guess it’s still worth it to me.

Do we need a separate thread for discussion of AI or do we already have one? Seems like it generates a lot of discussion that I then have to wade through if I want to get back to the actual LC stuff.

Do we need an AI thread?

You need some kind of AI algorithm to bubble up only the posts you’re interested in.

I’ve been going down a Santana at Woodstock rabbit hole. Holy shit what a performance. Nobody on the East Coast knew who Santana was at the time. By the end of their set they had kicked the concert into high gear, and were instant legends.

Carlos Santana was 22 and on acid because he thought he was going on 12 hours later and would have time to come down and get straight.
