  1. Yeah we are still on the classic skin. I think we are one of the few bigs left on it. I can toggle to lightning and have played in reports in there... until my brain goes to mush.

    I will wait until we flip the switch and move everyone to lightning. We have a state that we are piloting Tableau CRM with. That shit is the tits. Game changer. We hope to have the whole country on Tableau CRM in the near future.

    And my black zip-up SF trailblazer hoodie can be worn anywhere, so that’s a bonus.

    Or am I wrong.  I've recently changed responsibilities in our company.  Turns out these guys have surrendered their souls to those Salesforce aholes, and I'm totally lost.  Salesforce for Dummies will show up on Tuesday and I'll read it until dawn.  Any other suggestions?  I may literally get fired over this.

    Just get in there and start using it. The more you use it the easier it gets. If you need, help just let me know. 
    SF built a specific CRM for our company, as we are the largest in our space. I’ve onboarded colleagues across the country, as they are really strong, but just needed to learn the new technology. 
    One of our oldest field staffers is one of the best at it. It just took some 1v1 training. He put the time in and is killing it now.

    If somebody knows how to effectively do something with that data.  That's sort of an important part.  That is more an organizational failing than a Salesforce failing but people being people will project their frustration on the tool they perceive is watching them and making them do a bunch of work that doesn't lead anywhere.

    And the data input has to be standardized. As mentioned, the value is not so much the data entry... it’s the analytics it produces... how to interpret those... and how to strategically target areas with more funds. 
    Even if you get that far, the internal politics of a company get in the way. People will get defensive if their department is seen as low performing via the data and/or there is a weak spot in there.

    Use Tableau CRM (Einstein Analytics) with it, and you have a very powerful tool that, if used properly can create predictive models with AI, as well with your own developed algorithms.

    In short, Salesforce if used properly, can be a game changer. And no, I don’t work for Salesforce or have stock in it.

    He brings up a good point though, the people that complain the most about these iconic joints closing down (pre-Covid) were the people that either don't live here or do still live here and never venture out of a 2-mile radius of their home.  

    I wanted to try to seem like I cared when Poodle Dog closed but truth was, I hadn't been there in 15-20 years.  But a place like Shady Grove closes, we mourned it.  For years, we'd ride our bikes from the neighborhood down every Thursday there to watch the live music series in April & May and sit and have beers and dinner.  Dart Bowl was kinda somewhere in the middle, we'd make a trek once a year or so for bowling or a party or just to grab enchiladas.  So we miss it in a way.  But more and more Austinites lose sleep over a B.J.'s Brewhouse or Fuddrucker's closing than they do an actual authentic Austin joint going under.  

    Dart Bowl enchiladas slam and go hard.

    It ain't hard to cook a good brisket.  Neither are ribs.

    For real. I have ONE family member that tried that brisket. He was our guinea pig and that was his feedback. I trust him on that, as he’s in the top tier of relatives that makes a mean brisket. The rest of just don’t care to get all hyped to try brisket at a place. 
    That’s like asking us which Mexican restaurant has the best tortillas and waiting in line for it. 
    If we want brisket or tortillas, we just make them ourselves. It ain’t nothing new or a “delicacy” for us.

    Used to be, growing up, that brisket was “throw away meat” and we paid $.10/pound. Same with fajita, menudo, barbacoa (cow cheek meat), etc. They were all cheap products. 
    Now some people have decreed them “delicacy,” and jack up prices for what poor people would buy to stretch a dollar. 
    What’s next, tripas?

    Gotdam right. I was one of them. I’ll go to my grave thinking he pushed Nate Wright to the ground. 
     

    But, it’s special seeing these old guys make it to the HOF when they have to be wondering if they’ll ever live to see the day. 
     

    Roger Staubach who coined the term “Hail Mary” that day. He was asked after the game about the throw, and that was his way of saying that he threw up a prayer. 
     

    Made me hate Catholics for a while. 

    Everyone remembers the Hail Mary pass... but the catch on 4th and 17 from like the 25, before that play to even have a shot... crazy catch by Pearson on the sideline keeping both feet in... whoa. 
    He went Superman the last minute of that game.

  7. Little known fact.... He played with Theismann in high school, and when Theismann graduated, Drew switched from WR to QB his junior year. 
    #TheMoreYouKnow
    Watching him play on the same field with Butch Johnson was badass. Wicked 1 to 2 punch in the mid 70s to early 80s. 

  8. Shaka’s middle name must be Ain't. 
    My kingdom for someone who can actually coach in game. 

    Take a TO and tell them to drive to the line, post up, double screen curl for a 16-18 foot shot? Anything but jacking 3s. 
    Naw, just keep shooting. Eventually ONE will go in, AMIRITE?

    Despite the changes, if nothing else, any red-blooded Texas male should acknowledge the pool of hot ass in Austin.  The town is just brimming with beautiful women of all age groups, races, and lifestyles.  It's just ridiculous.  Before pandemic, I'm all across the state for work and yes---the state is more attractive than most---but let's just be honest.......the women of Texas are coming in hefty.  It's a husky, husky state.  Even the "hot" suburban milfs from the Metroplex to Houston to San Antonio are easily coming in at 150-160#.  But Austin brings the fit, ample game from ages 20-60 every damn day and by the tens and tens of thousands.  There isn't a stoplight in Austin that doesn't have a beautiful, fit woman at it.  Whereas in most of Texas, there ain't a stoplight that doesn't have a Texas woman eating her way through a large sized combo meal.  

    As a weekly flyer across the country, I agree with most of this.
    However, 150 on 5’8”-5’9” on a very rude frame, would work for most red-blooded American males. Warlocks and nalgas add to the weight my good man. 

    Not to Vic Mackey up the thread, but a healthy Latina or Lebanese with that set up... I would be getting my falafel taco on.

    Uh, I guess I'll have to ask..........what the fuck is a "snatch host"????

    I was a snatch host in the early 90s. I hosted a lot of snatches during that time.

    Good points above about how this is really just complaining about the urbanization of certain areas, certain formerly small and mid-sized cities.  Austin hasn't been a small city in several decades.  It was still in the 300-400k range in the 70's (it's 'old austin heyday').  It was almost a half million in the 80's.  It was 500-600k when i moved here.  It hasn't been a "small city" since before the Vietnam War.  

    I find the people complaining about how it's changed typically fall into one, or more, of three buckets:  Used to live here and moved away, live in "Austin" but actually live in another community near Austin, or live in Austin and like to stay unengaged and whine.  Not judging, but the people that are truly engaged in Austin don't bitch about it very much.  

    Having said all that, the cost of living and transportation are just fucking out of control bad.  And both of those have nothing to do with Old Austin, Weird Austin, Cool Austin, Hip Austin, whatever.  It has to do with shitty government at every level year fucking and year fucking out.  It's incompetent, it's corrupt, and it's dangerous.  "Austin lost its soul" is just veiled code for "We miss when our civic bullshit was a well-kept secret"  

    Change/evolution with everything is inevitable. There’s change for the progress... and there’s change that I wouldn’t call progress. Depends on the metrics.

    Nearly all of my extended family (140+) communicate often what Austin has become and they all still live there, with the exception of 4 of us. The perspective of generational Austinites is a different lens. 

    Take me back to Richard Moya park for a family BBQ or Northcross Mall Goldmine with a roll of quarters. Maybe take a Sunday drive to Lockhart for some BBQ. 

    Austin had its systemic warts when I grew up there (that I could go on for days about), but overall it was big city with a small town charm. But most importantly it was authentic and had a pulse.

    IMHO now it’s just a commercial center and the latest trendy landing spot for folk. 
    If that’s your jam, go for it. If it works for you, I’m happy for you. 
     

  13. Native Austinite... born in Brackenridge Hospital (checking in) all the way up to graduating UT. 10th generation Tejano so fam has been in Texas and Austin quite some time. 

    Moved away a few years after graduating. Other than going to games and seeing fam, I can’t stand it. It’s not Austin anymore. I call it CaliRado. It’s all commercial now and has no heart. 

    East Side is almost all gentrified and hardly any good Mexican food there anymore.

    It wasn’t built/structured to be a million person city. It was built as a college town and administrative city.

    A few things I miss off the top of my head: Holiday House, Tower and Top Notch burgers. Deep Eddy. Aquafest. Flying kites at Zilker Park. Chilling at Chicano Park.
    People there are no longer weird (read: educated hippies). Just socially awkward misfits and douchenozzles from other states.

  14. I was at the Rout 66 game. I am pretty sure someone posted about that in the football thread. I stayed the entire game until the eyes was over. That was pretty close to murder.  
    That should be removed too IMHO. It’s too soon for me.

    I can still hear Wally Pryor’s voice in my nightmares... Skip Hicks... touchdown. FML

    Say what you want, but Internet game is efficient as hell, based on friends of mine.

    Efficient... I trust you and your friends on that. Effective? I would conjecture... not so much.
    It’s simple maff.

    Jason Collier’s ten pennies... don’t equal a dime. It’s actually less than dime.
    Ten times the work for 1/10 of the look. 
    Now that I think of it... it ain’t that efficient either.
