I’ve got a friend that, when cornered by acronym soup, starts discussing very detailed analytics for whatever they’re talking about. He says the acronyms don’t matter as long as the audience is sufficiently bored by whatever your answer is.

My favorite was "here’s Exchange 2003, you’ll figure it out. We seem to be sending out thousands of emails every few minutes and are on all the spam lists. See you in a bit. ".

That’s what they did to me 20-odd years ago. I did my best to train up the guys that came after me, but I am only one guy. I hope they’re not still doing that.

Same in the 00s. Everyone knew and no one gave a shit.
Side note: I love how “fuckin business” works a couple of ways.
- Comment on HP adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls 2 weeks ago:
I had an issue a couple of years ago with an HP laptop where the USB-C port would stop working after a reboot. DSIM cleanup-image would temporarily fix it so it had to be software based. The warranty was only good for about another week when I first got in touch.
They did everything in their power to run that week out and tried getting me to send it in for repair that could take a month rather than fixing the issue. I finally found an obscure forum post that fixed it. Their support is absolute trash.

It’s not like the old days, but you can still find high energy local acts out at places like BFE. Just keep an eye on their roster. I’ll likely see you there someday!

I get it. We played Fitzgerald’s a lot for the last few years before it closed. My buddy was sitting in the lighting booth watching the last show.
I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to capture that vibe anymore. BFE is cool. Numbers, for whatever reason, was never really my scene. I’ve played there but I don’t go out of my way to do it. Even The Farm isn’t really what it used to be. I wish I could remember what the name of it was before because we played there a lot too. Wildcatters out in Katy is pretty cool on the right night. Brash has the arcade. Karbach usually has something cool going on (I’ve got a friend over there right now). But none of that is like what Fitzgerald’s was back in the 00s (I was too young and hours away in the 90s, then I left for the military).
But you know what they say. You can never go home.

There are some cool places closer in but I try to avoid heading that way. We played White Oak Music Hall recently and it’s pretty neat. Fitzgerald’s closed a few years back and that place was amazing. On the other side of town is House of Blues which is always a good time.

I like The Farm and BFE, but those are two completely different vibes. I miss Acadia so much. That was my favorite place to be but they closed down last year.

Just to answer the question, tonight I was with a hard rock band. We did our thing then got hammered again.

Sorry, I was drunk as hell up on 1960 and forgot we were having a conversation.

Howdy neighbor!
Naw, I work remote, the HEB is walking distance, and if I’m on the motorcycle I’m headed the other way out of town. The only time I have to deal with it is when I’m playing a gig headed into town while everyone else is driving the other way.

Harris. Also just off 10.
- Comment on my version is better 3 weeks ago:
So you’re picturing me every morning back when I had to drive in to work. Got it.

- Comment on Colombian president says cocaine 'no worse than whisky' 4 weeks ago:
I wrote down my findings at 12:33AM Central time. It was science. Incomprehensible science.
My findings today are that I wish I hadn’t applied quite so much whiskey to the subject.
- Comment on Colombian president says cocaine 'no worse than whisky' 4 weeks ago:
I drigle fumbar. Fabulous.
Science.
- Comment on Colombian president says cocaine 'no worse than whisky' 4 weeks ago:
It’s hard to write down scientific conclusions when you black out at the end of the night, but so far I wouldn’t recommend it. I’ll try again tonight and get back to you.
- Comment on Colombian president says cocaine 'no worse than whisky' 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been doing an exhaustive study for the last couple of decades on the effects of whiskey on a human with mental health issues.

I’m an enthusiastic amateur taster with a terrible palette and I bet it would ruin it for me, too.

God damn. It’s not often something online can make me laugh so hard I nearly fall off my couch sober. My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give.

Spoken like a person who doesn’t even know how to get their kid unlimited money. You’re just mad that you can’t marry that perfect ball of plastic surgery and hatred.
- Comment on Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations 3 months ago:
Maybe that’s his plan. He doesn’t like the prenup and wants to marry that ghoul Loomer so he’s doing this to get her deported and the marriage annulled. Then he’ll use government money to put on a huge wedding and try to have a baby immediately. Everyone knows if you’re president when you have a kid the government is on the hook for support. Unlimited money!!!
It’s 12-D chess!!!1!
- Comment on How a post on Reddit accidentally kickstarted the revival of Angus Steakhouse 3 months ago:
I didn’t think I had to mention how amazing the very authentic skillet queso and frosty margs were. I thought that was just common knowledge.
I’m in Houston and I send everyone to Chacho’s. For authentic Texas barbecue I send them to Dickey’s because the Thomas Barbecue location I used to send people to closed down.
Here’s why I send them to Chacho’s:

Best steak in Texas.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 3 months ago:
Learned skill. I spend a lot of time drunk and Android tends to do a pretty good job of guessing what I’m swiping.
I also tend to reread what I wrote when I’m drunk. I actually generally do a worse job sober because I won’t double check my work.
And it was signage displays for the dumb TVs I was thinking of, and Sharp TVs used to have unsecured wireless networks that you couldn’t really turn off, so they’d make a mesh with other smart TVs. I believe I’ve heard the same thing about Samsung as well.
Now it’s time to go jog myself sick.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 3 months ago:
Sceptre is cheapo stuff. And at least one brand of smart TV is wardriving to find networks behind your back (again, drunk, I can’t remember which right now) and creating mesh networks with other TVs of the same type.
