@89th Agree

It is indeed. We've often discussed which party is going to be the adult in the room. They clearly have not exerted enough brainpower to see they are simply behaving like a mirror image of what they abhor. I have no problem with Kimmel getting his show canceled for business reasons, which would have been valid given current ratings at the time, but not because they were strongarmed by the administration. Although that's exactly what was done to Trump, et al, we just don't need a race to the bottom.

Hey, I took a knee, too! It was Nick Bosa’s, but I took it…

Cool gesture. I just hope the world will be understanding if the kid sells it.

@Mik said in This Is the Oldest Wine Region in the U.S.—and No, It's Not in California: Ohio was the country’s largest producer of at one time. The Monongahela Valley in Western PA was largest and finest producer of whiskey in the country until that asshole George Washington came in and started shooting people. The whiskey makers moved out of the US into Kentucky and had to substitute crappy ass corn for Monongahela Rye, and thus was born soda pop bourbon. There was only one whiskey maker that stayed in the Monongahela area, Old Overholt, until they were bought out and moved by Jim Beam.

A sign of the apocalypse rapture?

@LuFins-Dad Maybe that is where George, Jolly, Aqua, etc. have gone.

@taiwan_girl said in Shooting at ICE facility in Texas: @89th I saw that movie not too long ago. Funny in a stupid way. 555 Oh, The Jerk was brilliantly funny.

@Axtremus said in Me Learning LLM Reasoning: @Horace said in Me Learning LLM Reasoning: I was really shocked to see that Ax didn't want to continue the conversation with Klaus, ... I missed @Klaus' latest reply because your mindless copied-and-pasted ChatGPT dribble drowned it out. Oh, my fault. I thought it was your 1000th straight ignored question. Turns out, this time you would have answered.

@LuFins-Dad I get what you are saying. We went back to tenting about ten years ago after almost twenty years of a truck camper. There was an adjustment involved that took a week or so. Still, I am content with tenting and the additional effort it takes to make a proper weather ready camp. I was lucky, I learned those skills as a kid from my father.

@taiwan_girl said in 1000 Gold Cards: The revamped TrumpCard.gov website also invites applicants to join a waiting list for a new $5 million Trump Platinum Card, which would grant “the ability to spend up to 270 days in the United States without being subject to U.S. taxes on non-U.S. income.” A third product, the $2 million Trump Corporate Gold Card, promises “U.S. residency in record time” for select employees and allows businesses to “transfer access from one employee and grant it to another.” Haha, so predictable: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/post/333932

The man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course last year tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen shortly after being found guilty of all counts on Tuesday. Officers quickly swarmed him and dragged him out of the courthouse. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/jury-convicts-ryan-routh-of-trying-to-assassinate-trump-at-his-florida-golf-course

@jon-nyc said in Poor Tylenol: Who here is old enough to remember the guy that was poisoning Tylenol capsules with cyanide back in 1982? It lead to the largest ever product recall and a revolution in food and drug packaging, introducing the words ‘tamper-proof packaging’ to the public lexicon. Fast forward 43 years and now a different crazy person is tampering with the brand. I remembered the 82 case enough that I “knew” to check JNJ stock, only to discover that they had spun off Tylenol and all their OTC products into a separate company just a couple of years ago. By the way, I looked up what happened to the 82 case. They caught the guy who was trying to extort $1MM from JNJ but could never gather enough evidence to link him to the murders. He did serve 12 years for extortion and died in 2023 at age 76. The murder cases remain officially unsolved. Want to know the funny part? All the crunchy moms are saying “Damn. Big Pharma got to RFK” right now. They are thinking he caved and they are using Tylenol to protect their cash cow of vaccines… I tried explaining that Tylenol is worth a helluva lot more than all of the vaccines combined. That didn’t go anywhere.

Eight convicted rioters were sentenced to varying prison and jail terms last week for their role in a So Cal Antifa attack in southern California in 2021. Heh… you know what I was going to post

Yeah that 2nd amendment one just made me sick. And I love a good offensive joke, too!

We are going to have some seriously smart and educated people coming up in the next generations, along with some seriously stupid ones who just rely on AI for everything. Jon Von Neumann, who has a reasonable claim to being the greatest intellect ever, had full time specialized tutors throughout his childhood. A version of him without that, would almost certainly not have been the towering force he became. Now, everybody will have a world class tutor in any subject, at their fingertips.
