In July of 2008 I opened a sarcasm tag. Others have been opened since then. I'd be surprised if any of them were closed. You've been warned.

@MikeTalonNYC @Cisco I dont know, man. If this is their premium AI, people getting the lesser one probably beg for death before getting to problem resolution.

[Corum @Corum]

Come on @Cisco - for the price of SmartNet, I shouldn't have to haggle with your g-ddamn AI before I can argue with an engineer about whether you will deign to honor your hardware warranty.

I'm paying extra for Cisco. Be worth it.

What I want to know is why Craig Breslow was with the group delivering bad news, not the group getting it...

AC could only manage the staff Breslow actually acquired, no matter how much "interest" was shown to guys who would have helped the team more.

Ever wonder if it was possible to slap "that much" stupid out of someone without killing them?

[Corum @Corum]

Thats just the most glaring error. I've wanted to do this for literally decades.

The multiple design/architecture failures @mlb is willing to tolerate in this system makes me question whether I should give it up as a bad idea.

[Corum @Corum]

For f**ks sake @MLB - the experience of trying to buy tickets to a spring training game makes me think you don't actually want folks in the seats.

IDGAF if your system thinks - incorrectly - that my selection will strand a single seat. Not my problem.

I've also found that this one can't be chased away by just grabbing the song and playing it. That seems to strengthen the hold on my attention rather than breaking the hold.

The offspring as involved in his college radio station - and is co-hosting his roommates metalcore program.

I listen, because it may not be my jam but I get to hear him laughing with his friends while he's away.

Sleep Token's "Emergence" is advanced persistent earworm material.

It's been too cold for too long. I decided it was nice enough to walk to another building on the "campus" here.

It's 23 degrees, feels like 14.

"Feels like 14" seems nice enough to take a walk for a mile or so, round trip.

The gang at @Fortinet are not serious people. To remove a retired person from our account I need to provide the original invoice for the security appliance.

To remove. A retired person. From a security appliance.

@UMassTwittter @ohsnapholdup @UMassFootball One or two.

Starting with "UMass made a name as a basketball school".

Followed by "win a few games before you come around sniffing for more millions for football at a basketball school".

The Mullins Center wasn't built for a team that couldn't fill The Cage.

Come on @CBSSports , what is this crap? I don't want screaming stunts, I want a little analysis before my game starts.

...and that IVR at Microsoft doesn't even really understand an angry sysadmin barking out phrases from Microsoft's own catalog.

[Corum @Corum]

If there were a way to make it work, I'd tell @Apple and @Microsoft to fuck off into the sun and never send them another penny from my budget

$50k of licensing fees and Microsoft's support is an IVR pointing to online help behind the auth prompt I can't get past without support

[Corum @Corum]

Dear @Apple

It should not be this f*ing hard to spend money with you people just because I need to use a PO.

You've been trying to own the school market since I was in middle school almost 50 years ago. You should have it figured out, and it should...just work.

Watching the Geritol Bowl on Prime.

[Corum @Corum]

@MLB Would have loved to. But you idiots put it behind a paywall I don't have a key for.

A clinching game in late September. Behind a paywall.

You've got too many MBAs, not enough guys who are true fans of the game.

Hey @Google - why don't your web pages for managing a Workspace honor your browser' settings for things like dark mode.

Migraine suffering sysadmins want to know.
