Anyone to the left of Attila the Hun must have difficulty being an optimist under your last (and probably next - and then final) president.

I am typically an optimist, thought that's been tough these last few years.

Gave TNG your discord as I think he's going to be doing big server set-up thingmabobs in VA.

Love that term "thingmabobs".

TNG is off to Virginia?
;D

No, I haven't been in Indiana for years (since before my D-days). I've been in VA for most of my adult life. Indiana will just always be my "home" and I still have most of my family there.

I have an uncle out in Virginia, planning on visiting him with my cousin this coming summer.  We will see what happens, it’s hard to gather cash for a vacation even when I ride with someone else. 
I have a couple cousins here, but most of my family is in Illinois, can’t say I’ve ever thought of that place as home, but I really wish I could get passed the dislike if only to be around the rest of my family consistently.  Still, my son lives with his dad here, thirty minutes from me, and I’ve never wanted to leave him.  Feels a bit splitting to be honest.

Prolly not. Not that I'd mind at this precise point in time.

I thought I posted that I got a random friend request from someone who was friends with you but I evidently never hit "Post". Anyway, he's friended now.

Sorry dweez, you certainly did. It was a hectic weekend (mrs smokester's bidet) and I missed that. Glad he's hooked up.

Veterans' Affairs, then.

Have veterans discovered Discord at last? The Chelsea pensioners round here are still using semaphore.

Most of 'em are on Tinder or Grindr, as far as I know. Not that that is very far.

So, I've run out of guesses for VA.

The datacenter is in VA and he (TNG) has to physically configure a massive rack in a very small space. I think when he mentioned VA, I remembered it from this post told him dweez was there and TNG thought it might be good to get his advice/insight on the task.

It's sort of a coincidence and not much for you to worry about.

The degree for remote telekinesis is a madam.

And yet I still try to summon the remote or a beer occasionally, just in case.

Tricky.

Exactly.

Nope. Not following. TNG has to physically do something without being there?

He has to design a physical arrangement of the kit.

I realise you are just winding me up, but I am never going to admit you may be succeeding in doing so.

As if I would do such a thing.

Got a letter from Aviva today saying they had identified an overcharge and gave me a cheque for 55 nicker (that's £55 to those north, south, east, west of London).

I think I may have phased into an alternate dimension. The world I know just doesn't operate like that.

The bank will likely charge you £60 to cash the cheque.

Come now, old fella. These days you simply pay it in on your phone.

Android ones, anyhow.
