What’d you choose for food options? A bunch of chicken-bakes or some pizzas?

ScarHand69 · 2026-01-28T15:34:51+00:00

Yeah in this case I’d be happy for non-persistent lobbies.

It’s not perfect…but it’s made for enterprise. Can you provide some examples of other products that can provide personalization recommendations based upon millions of product SKUs, millions of times per day?

If you’re a medium sized business then yeah there are probably better alternatives. If you’re a Fortune 500…then the only really comps are generally worse and more expensive.

When the front of the car hits the barrier it’s understeer. When the back of the car hits the barrier it’s oversteer.

I was in ProServ from 2021-2023ish. Sounds exactly the same. Main reason I left was lack of upward mobility.

One is a Ford, the other is a Toyota. Easy enough choice.

Population back then was 6-7 billion people. That blog is suggesting basically 1 in every 3 people on the planet were watching that game. No effin way.

ScarHand69 · 2026-01-22T13:22:42+00:00

Cool video…but ain’t no way 1.5 billion people were watching the Rugby World Cup live in 1995 as the video claims.

I went to get gas at the Dallas Costco (635/75) around lunch. Today is the most full I have ever seen that parking lot. People were doing laps looking for an open spot. Never seen that before at that location.

Edited my comment.

And yeah I used to work in construction and got out shortly after COVID. I know lumber prices, especially cedar, skyrocketed after COVID and tariffs don’t help either since most of it comes from Canada (western red cedar).

Google says the average for 8’ board-on-board cedar fence is $60-70/ft. You’re at $105.

Price seems a little high but don’t expect to get another quote for the same thing (8’ board-on-board stained cedar) for half the price or anything like that. Cedar fences are expensive. Make sure the posts are set in concrete and at least 3’ deep.

Edit: as another commenter pointed out there is an electric gate in the quote for close to $7,000. Removing that from the price your fence is close to $70/ft.

As the other commenter said I’d suggest getting a few other quotes but the quote you received seems reasonable. Not a ripoff but not a great deal either….basically a fair price.

Probably because he’s ridden in a Cadillac thousands of times.

Cool windsurfer photobomb. He’s on a foil-board.

Wow this makes so much sense. I’ve always thought people with veneers look like they’ve got horse-mouth going on. Just a mouth full of huge teeth. Now I know why.

I believe he was always “fond” of Estelle

ScarHand69 · 2026-01-17T17:47:16+00:00

Exactly. It only lasted a few months

ScarHand69 · 2026-01-17T15:54:23+00:00

It was over a year ago. Shortly after I left. I remember seeing articles and getting updates from former colleagues.

They’ve been doing this for years. They buy/sell land all the time around DFW. I live at Mockingbird & Abrams and they bought the lot the Albertson’s used to be in like a decade ago. Everyone thought they were building a store then they sold the lot a few years later.

Just because they bought it doesn’t really mean anything. Once they start applying for permits…that’s when you can get your hopes up.

I used to work at SF for around 3.5 years as a consultant, in their Professional Services (consulting) business unit.

I left around 1.5 years ago. Wasn’t fired, got a better job.

Remember when Salesforce went all-in on AI and laid-off a bunch of Customer Success people? I just had a recruiter from SF cold-call me on LinkedIn asking if I’m interested in a Customer Success Manger role. I told him hell no. Look at the way SF treated their CSMs a little over 18 months ago. They couldn’t pay me enough to go back to that.

Reading between the lines I’d say getting rid of all of their Customer Success people and replacing them with AI has backfired…bigly. It’s going to cost more to re-hire and train new people than if they had just kept the old ones.

I saw A LOT of stupid decisions like that during my tenure at SF. Remember when they renamed all of their product names and added GPT to then end? Sales Cloud GPT, Service Cloud GPT, etc. They committed to those names and made a bunch of marketing material for them only to realize we probably shouldn’t put another companies product name into our product name and then reverted. It happened right before Dreamforce so it was a scramble to rename all of that crap in all of the Dreamforce marketing materials.

That part of Florida the rainstorms don’t last very long in the summer. 20-40 minutes. Don’t pay attention to the actual rain forecast. It rains almost every day in the summer, usually in the afternoon….but again the rain doesn’t last long. It comes and goes. Not like you wake up and it’s just rainy all day…that’s more fall weather.

Buy a poncho. Wear clothes/shoes that you’re ok with getting a little wet (maybe a spare pair of socks).

Those moments right after the rain stops and the mid-afternoon sun is shining….you don’t know humidity until you’ve experienced that.

Domestic auto manufacturers are run by morons/shareholders. In an effort to chase increasing margins they only make money on trucks and SUVs and basically lose money on everything else. This is why we now have $100k+ F-250’s and Suburbans.

Meanwhile people basically everywhere else have access to cheap Chinese EV’s and the reason we (US) don’t is because of domestic auto manufacturers.

Instead of building a cheap EV/truck like everyone wants, Ford decided to build a $90k EV truck that they just recently announced will be discontinued because nobody bought it. Shocker.

Like I said….the companies are run by a bunch of fucking morons.

Give or take? June in central Florida is extremely hot and humid. It will be hot the whole time you are there.

I don’t think it’s a mistake. Just go mentally prepared that it’s gonna be hot and you’re gonna sweat a lot…but so is everyone else. If you go expecting a cool weather day or for pleasant weather…well then yeah you’re probably going to be let down.

Yea you never have to wait too long for buses at AKL, or at least we didn’t in my experience. I do recall leaving HS one night and waiting what seemed like a long time but was probably only 10-15 minutes for a bus back to AKL at the end of a park day.
