@coliver Very nice, besides the shakes.

If I recall correctly it was a graduate thesis for a HCI student team at MIT. They wanted to develop an easy to manage and use system for interacting with complex mathematics and menus in a touch driven interface. Or something like that... either way we got to play DnD on a huge touch screen.

Ehh ok subs not great.... WEGMANS DUDE!!!

Used to love Wegman's, not can't stand them.

Might just be ours.

Love our Wegmans and almost all the Rochester area ones too. The one in Sterling VA isn't quite as nice as ours. Not sure about other states etc.

Wegmans was my go to place for a meal when in college. That and there was a local Pizza and Chinese place (two different places) that I could order food online and have it delivered. We don't really have them around here the closest one is in Binghamton and it is slightly more expensive and the quality isn't as good.

I worked at Wegmans for so many years, I don't have the same desire as most people to eat there.

I'd love to set something up like this. Hmmm.

Batavia is a Dutch name, actually It's the old capital of the western part of the New Netherlands colony.

Off to http://charcoalcorral.com/wp2014/ for a going away lunch for @Mike-Ralston (he is not leaving NTG just my house). He is actually moving to Michigan this weekend and will be living with @FiyaFly.

We had a friend in FL that was from there.

Debating if I finally want to tackle the unpleasantness of contacting FIOS to haggle for lower pricing, or just switch to XFINITY.

Never move from FIOS. I tried it.

I really, really, really despise Comcast.

I've actually been paying a considerable amount more just to not move to Comcast. But they just raised my rates AGAIN.

Priced out XFINITY and it's $75ish a month cheaper plus a $500 gift card.

I was using XFINITY recently. I had 4-5 issues a month. I'd rather have 99% uptime 150 up / 150 down and spend the money than a variable connection.

I know, I know.

Thanks for talking me off the ledge.

OK, time to get good and angry and call customer retention.

The only thing that sucks about FIOS is that you really can't threaten to leave because no one offers what they offer.
