Claire knows me. We have a shorthand.
Claire remembers the .Com
Claire plays bingo, like we stopped at a casino and she played bingo...I drank beer and worked on dog training.
I'm outside ease dropping on this meeting (by request from her client).
They're considering a CRM, but not Salesforce. This sales guy crossed my boundaries half an hour ago.
I just yelled "Bingo" from outside because he went on a buzzword rant that launched into their AI initiative.. That was my limit.
She groks.

@doctorwhom Ha! At The Mag, remember Ops got this filtering software and we decided to see if we could break it? Tox added an "@" before the <html> tag.
Browser totally rendered the page but filter wouldn't parse it because of the At 🤣🤣🤣
I think it took us three hours?

@feld Already seen that over on another thread.

@feld I ... but ... how?!?
People man. Hold my beer.
Hey you ... Peter Schiff. Yeah, you.
Yes bro, that's *exactly* what you are.
English motherfucker, do you speak it?

@minego I grok. We used to have house keepers come once a week at a place I lived (housemate was a slob, bless his heart), when I first moved in. (Eventually it was realized that I did everything they did because I keep my space and common areas nice and tidy.
But, I'd grab my laptop and head to the cafe because I didn't want them underfoot, and I didn't want to be under foot and my anxiety would kick in watching them do things *not the way I would do them*.
That shit will make me crazy...er.

@cpm Claire texted me this, wants to know if we (me and nerd friends) can make it lighter.

1. I Immediately went to Phased Array.
2. Claire called me at BFAM to meet for coffee.
3. Wench immediately asked about Designs,
Then she asked if it would scale.
- Pissed off Elf at BFAM pre Tea/Coffee.
Yes, it could scale ... at a much lower frequency.
`Da Elf
@cpm I explained PA with this image ...
And how you could alter frequency, power, range with a fntastic amount of control depending on power...and that could be conserved or unleashed depending on one's need or whim.
Being a music person, she groked and launched forward.
Also design request, use a fucking standard 18v "magazine" rechargeable battery from Ryobi/DeWalt/Milwaukee ...
With Pizos, that's easier.

Penzeys puts Chicken T.A.C.O. Seasoning on sale, for "no reason"

@cpm So Claire is flying back from Florida tonight and is bringing hot sauce (implied, for me).
Yes this is a TSA agent holding a bottle of hot sauce that has "Explosive" written in rather bold lettering.
I'm so amused Imma pee.
`Da Elf
@cinebox @cpm Yeah. Her follow up text is that TSA Flunky *did* decide to challenge her and she pushed back.
I think #TSA sets the IQ bar for agents at about 90, and that's the Top Out End.

@MissConstrue @Lana I will not play games Pre Caffeine ... I will hop that counter and mainline beans.
Making me think Before caffeine is unwise, unhealthy, and possibly terminal.
Medium Coffee, Two Sugars.
Anything beyond that isn't happening.
And *correcting* me with made up size names, I *will* beat some fucker with the grinder and fill their squishy forms with ALL THE STIR STICKS!

The cafe I loved in Santa Cruz had some visitors from Silly Valley once.
They: Late, fast free, double shot, decaf, two pumps of caramel, sugar free, nonfat whip.
... and another in the same vane.
All of us regulars are bracing for impact (Stout was a dick, but he was Our dick).
Stout (Manager/Head Barista): If you wanted a glass of fucking water, why didn't you just ask for one?
We: 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
They: Left for SBux up the block.

@feld @Szescstopni Oh no. Remember, according to them, your platform is *Their* platform because, "town hall" or something.

1. State Law! State Law! Which is how we ended up here after RvW got nixed.
2. Section 230 is *always* under attack.
Which is hysterical because the folk that most want it gone, are the *Most Likely* to get sued into a smoldering crater (liable / defamation) if it's tanked. [ALso it'll fundamentally break social media, comment sections, and the whole fucking Web at large.

@IndyStar_Unofficial Oh yeah, I forgot. A tornado touched down in my mother's front yard last month, uprooted a (big fucking) tree, and tossed it on the roof. +
Not either of the neighbor's yards, nooooo. Just hers.
+ I may have to go back and fix the roof before my cousin does it (wrong)++ and I have to go back to commit homicide.
++ I've been roofing since I was seven. Might know a few things.
I make things, I fix things, and quite often break things.
