The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

Oh, hi. I forgot about this place. How's everyone doing?

I just showed up to have lunch and they were filming. Ended up with a few lines that made it in to the episode and everything. I was like 20 years younger but I should be recognizable.

Guy was not there. He apparently came on an entirely different day and took the back entrance into the kitchen.

I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.

Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.

I would hire jj literally right now if it made any sense for me to do so. Which unfortunately it doesn’t. So you should hire them instead.

tbf we have to or we’ll die since we power wash ours with chemicals. Like a normal country does to their food, of course.

I thought Germans often ate one for breakfast like the Dutch do? With the little egg cup and the tiny spoon and sometimes even the little automatic device that chops the top off cleanly?

Oh, wait. You’re talking about one in Charlottesville I didn’t even remember existed. I was talking about the OG Richmond location. hahaha

The food was always mediocre but the vibes were always great. Best watch party for a VCU basketball game, too.

Company layoff is impacting me, so I'm back on the market ya'll. I'm actively looking for DevOps/SRE/OSS and adjacent type positions as an IC or manager. Ideally, I want to build dope stuff with dope people. <3

You’re being racist toward my nationality. I will not stand for this.

I remember you pointing out once that the reason so many people like L&O is because it’s how we all wish the police actually acted, not cause we’re all fans of cops. I liked that.

I liked their first two albums, but once Chris Martin married Gwyneth Paltrow and the music wasn’t just about him being super sad and lovesick literally all the time I lost interest in the band.

I hate it but also it’s strangely satisfying in the sense that you wake up, you’re hot as hell, you pull the blankets off and the sweat does its job and now you’re cold, so you move to the other side of the bed and now have to curl up under the blankets again to get warm. Repeat.

I also woke up covered in sweat and had to switch sides of the bed. But this always seems to happen to me the first few nights while trying to switch my internal clock. I have no idea why.

I don’t want to have to learn enough PokΓ©mon lore to continue my stupid joke, unfortunately.

Uhh… I think you need to sit down. I have some news for you. There have been some recent discoveries.
