    I had madden 2003 for PC and tbh I liked that keyboard control better than the subsequent football games I had once I got PS2.

    Tried getting into computer gaming but just never enjoyed the keyboard/mouse experience as much as the controller.

    I work fully remote and, during Covid, had in my signature line "Based on Covid-19 restrictions, please contact me by cell phone: XXX"

    I need to change it. Which is better:

    "I am most available by cell phone at XXX"

    or

    "I am best available by cell phone at XXX"

    In Durham, Bullock’s is probably your most traditional NC BBQ spot. It’s good but that’s probably my nostalgia speaking. I think there are definitely a ton of better non-BBQ options downtown.

    Awesome, thanks everyone one. Yea we’re staying downtown so I figured we’d hit a bunch of different spots. Looks like a decent food scene. But I live in Richmond and our BBQ is shit tier (plus I’m a big vinegar/nc chopped bbq guy) so I always try to hit some good spots when heading south.

    I have a mandated email signature with our office address and office phone number. So, if there's not an instruction to call my cell instead, they call my office line which is never answered. I've tried to change to no avail.

    I have to carry around two computers and operate in both capacities. It's a pain in the ass sometimes.

    I travel with my two laptops and my iPad. It really sucks going through airport security and having to remove all devices. Sometimes I can put them in one bin, sometimes I have to put each into a separate bin because there is zero uniformity with airport security and I fucking hate it.

    I was leaving Alabama after Christmas and a TSA agent laughed at me and commented, "oh wow, I bet you're a ton of fun." It hurt my feelings.

    if you don't mind a little drive, Lexington is about 20-25 minutes down 85 from HP and has some legendary spots.

    Don't know much about BBQ in W-S, maybe Tobias does he's not too far from there.
