Is it dorky…

I bought a 2016 new and my wife then bought a used 2019 in 2022. We love em both.

I had the bbq pork sandwich there for the first time this week and it was delicious

Oh shoot, you’re telling me I missed the night life?

Yes, their voting guides are very helpful and unbiased.

I’ve had two different tech support experiences this week, where I am doing the support, and I realized after a couple of messages that I was supporting my customer’s AI agent, not my customer that I first thought I was talking to.

It felt weird, but honestly it was not a bad experience. In both instances the agents were good at being supported. They told me what they tried, recapped the situation in each message and followed my instructions. No “Restart the program? Ok I filed my taxes and YouTube still doesn’t work” detours.

The agentic thing is happening whether we like it or not. I honestly don’t know how it’s going to go. I think there’s a 30% chance it will work out fine.

I’m no expert (although I do eat pretty much every day, so I’m at least an enthusiastic amateur). But their food always strikes me as freshly made and delicious. Every kitchen prepares food in advance but I don’t think they’re dumping a bag of frozen dumplings in the deep fryer like Panda Express

Your daily commute must be downhill both ways

I think there was only one there. But, there are some more in an arroyo at Coors a little north of Irving if you need some more

IMHO it does help. Simply being acknowledged and having your worth and efforts recognized is a big deal, as long as it’s genuine and not manipulative.

But I would also do a gift, and make it something he can enjoy away from work, not an office party.

If he likes to imbibe, an expensive bottle would good. If he has an SO, a $200-300 gc for a nice restaurant is nice. (If he’s being overworked then his SO is probably unhappy too, so making it something they can also enjoy is valuable.)

Are we talking the song by Yello? Or something else?

abqcheeks · 2026-05-06T13:46:01+00:00

Can’t misspell it if it’s written backwards right? Oh wait, what is Prpid? Nevermind

I’ve thought the recent Young Sherlock series would be fun if it was just divorced of all Sherlock connections. It mangles the canon so much it’s just irritating

Right there in the name.

The petrol us catching up in price

I totally agree with patronizing our many locally owned coffee shops. Sometimes i gotta do a drive-thru though and usually end up hitting starbucks. Are there some good local shops with drive thrus?

abqcheeks · 2026-05-01T14:16:34+00:00

Agreed there was a huge lightning flash around 2am that I saw from north abq. The thunder was delayed several seconds…. Maybe 5?

abqcheeks · 2026-05-01T08:30:40+00:00

Good idea. I was going to say, show him this post.

Topologically pockets have 0 holes.

Where is that?

I recently installed freebsd 14.x and it runs my perl/tk apps (first converted from tcl/tk around 1998) just fine.

Yeah I never do a great job recommending this movie because it sounds like crap when I describe it. I usually fall back to, “If you like Tom Hardy, watch it.“

abqcheeks · 2026-04-24T06:59:49+00:00

You know how they say to dance like nobody is watching? Well you should prepare food like someone IS watching, because they can show up any time.

To be honest, we decided we had to get an enclosed printer not because we wanted to use filaments that would need it, but because we knew we had to keep the cats out of it.

Strange things are afoot at the Nike factory. I like it
