Probably, maybe, most likely…but I like my narrative more. 😜

Dammit…I’ve already consumed today’s allotment of caffeine goodness. Guess I’m watching this with a glass of water. #BreakTime

LOL! I’m a SQL DBA and a Amazon AWS administrator. Basically a super geeky sysadmin who can turn a wrench, quote Marvel lore, and isn’t a stranger to the gym.

The review was fun! I don’t think Jakub turned the ASC completely off though. Personally…I was never jazzed about the super long hood of the old ISF. I much prefer the IS 500’s interpretation.

Not if I have a choice... that choice might get removed, who knows.

LOL @ Gym part…

Azure looks super cool, I want to learn it too, but these folks keep me super busy. Like I’m expected to actually work for the money I’m paid. The audacity! 😜

UGH!! You’re probably one of those over-clockers with a full-on water cooler system! ::heehee::

So clearly several of us are members of multiple tribes. LOL!

Not if I can help it. I’ll have to look again, but I think my third home (my favorite BP Station) uses 10% ethanol. Probably a statewide thing.

I’ll be there on Saturday for my weekly infusion.

It has #480 in the pictures. I think that makes at least 2 IS500s that have been already resold to a dealer (that weren't originally purchased to be flipped at the beginning).

I feel you. I am a software engineer and work from home, and I visit the Keurig probably more than I should lol. Coffee and car videos in the background get me through a lot of my days.
