@MrsBentoBako From about 15 years ago (before Big Brother was quite as big): Buddy took his high-end Nissan in for work. He was a bit of a gear head and whatever was broken was beyond even his skills. Going to a dealer was a very last resort. Anyway.... While waiting he was of course looking around the showroom. A sales guy chatted him up. After finding out what kid of car he was currently driving the sales guy told him he would give him X dollars for his current car sight-unseen....

@AllisonKaye See that Nebraska-shaped weak spot? Yeah, that. It's been joked that but it's more about legacy wireless contracts than a concerted effort to ignore the state.

@AllisonKaye my 2 high-schoolers just switched from Boost Mobile to Mint. They were looking for more data at a similar cost. The backend is T-Mobile. Works great in the home town area. Unfortunately, we were a couple hundred miles from there this weekend in a relatively small town. Coverage was pretty weak. Other than that, they are both happy with the switch. I don't have any direct history with Visible.

@jcscher I feel this is what it must look like from the inside of my refrigerator when I go rummaging around for that late night snack. πŸ˜‚

@Museek This isn't my favorite version of this song, but I love the banjo in the video so much it stays on the good list. :)

I may or may not have had wine in my coffee cup for this last conference call. And I may or may not have blown on it to "cool it off" while on camera.

@Museek Yay! Love them. Thank you for sharing. Get Out the Map is one of my favorite songs ever! Their harmonies are amazing.

@PaigeK I kid you not.... I remember when my friend couldn't come out to play until he and his sister raked their bedroom floors. With a special shag carpet rake. It was so bizarre to me.

Got my official back-to-the-office notification. July 12. Have to go through some training (?) and upload a copy of my vaccine card. Currently on a webinar from our HR lead. Nothing surprising. It's a gradual return based on a person's level in the org, and I happen to be in the July 12 group. Could be interesting.

@Minholkin @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @dz My lovely bride is really into real estate podcasts. A dude named BeardyBrandon (Brandon Turner) is a favorite of hers. Very easy to listen to even for a novice like me.
Personally I'm more of a comedy person. My go-to right now is Lewis Black's Rant Cast.

@jcscher Had a surprise storm this morning but not enough rain to do much good. That has already moved on. Yesterday set a record high of 105F. Beat the old record by 5 degrees! Today will a comparatively comfortable 95. πŸ™ƒ

@Alt_Human @WeThePeople
Are those hard candies in his pocket or is he just glad to see us?

Finally got my butt out of bed early enough to go for a run before work. Was awesome out. Will be in the 90s later today and I'm getting too old to mess with stuff like that. And my dog was extattic about getting to go. 🐢

Tried to load out rockets. I did a poor job and did the equivalent of dying of dysentery. ⛏️ 🀠 πŸš€
