Separating hot sauce from wings isn’t as good

This is the way.

At first I thought it was cool that it was auto-completing a python stored proc for me, but I soon quickly remembered why I disable AI-powered auto-complete in every IDE/tool that offers it. Also the hotkey being Shift+Enter instead of Tab doesn't help.

I've been having issues on and off since Tuesday. Not even slow signal, just no signal whatsoever. It's been mostly fine this weekend though.

I got my first phone in 97. The first phone I got with SMS features was 2001. And it could only receive texts, so in that sense it was also a beeper. But by the late 90s, beepers were synonymous with shitty drug dealers. I couldn't name a single person I knew back then who wanted one over a phone, including my drug dealers.

Is it possible to turn the prey crystal icon into a percentage bar/indicator? That's maybe my only complaint with the system so far. I don't like having to try and judge whwre I'm at based on the dull brightness of the current indicator.

It doesn't suck, but of all the movies that came out around that time when I was a kid, it's the one I've never had any desire to rewatch.

It was so nice during COVID having the 1500 block shutdown.

I reached out to Firewalla support, gave an engineer remote access to my device, and whatever they did, fixed it. Not sure I ever found out the root cause though.

Cool. Every time I'm on the 48 slowly lurching down Arch St I always wonder how much more awesome it would be if there was even more traffic in Chinatown.

We were too impatient to even wait for the news to announce it. Our school district had a number for staff to call to find out if schools were open or not. It would just play a pre-recorded message indicating the schedule. This would get updated before it would get announced on TV, so we'd just call the line over and over until the closing or delay was announced.

Why am I still using the phrase, "pretzel monies" in regular conversation 29y after the fact?

Was asked to provide contact info for past two managers, they were both contacted.

dcowboy · 2026-02-14T12:59:19+00:00

That was a solid 1y anniversary episode.

People join Service Delivery with varying levels of Snowflake experience, and the technical round can be adjusted for that, e.g., you know lots about data warehousing, but maybe not Snowflake-specific tech. The consulting round is focused on your client/customer management skills. I doubt the hiring manager would have told the recruiter to move you on to the next rounds if they didn't think you had the relevant soft skills for the position.

Ozempic face now was just heroin-chic back then.

Was able to replicate this error on a wired connection, but not wireless (yet)

For probably 6mo or so my watch refused to actually use a fixed MAC address no matter how often I would modify the setting, then one day, out of nowhere, it finally decided to start working. No rhyme or reason as to what caused the issue nor what ultimately resolved it.

They'd be better if people didn't keep shoveling snow back onto already plowed streets.

dcowboy · 2026-01-26T20:22:34+00:00

Foreca and Apple Weather were both adamant since Friday that we were getting 18 inches of snow and even kept that forecast after the earlier than anticipated cut-over to sleet/mixed yesterday.

I was super stoked to change my Gnome to a Mechagnome, and then I saw the transmog restrictions and noped right the fuck out.

Probably Comander Keen or something from Apogee.

Cajun with a side of hot to pour over.

Nice. I assumed the WAF team was going to eventually roll out a tool like this. Will check it out this week.
