Make sure to pack your jeans! Seriously, that is cool. Would be nice to know what announcement it is so I can make the right trades. I mean, so that health wins!

Nice. We are a Honda family (last 3 vehicles) and have never had an issue so far.

@Mik said in The Iran Nuclear Program thread: If it results in regime change, great. I doubt it. Agree, but I am fearing that even if there is a regime change, what does that mean? New people but same situation? I know it is early in Venezuela, and I do think that Madero had to go, but is the new regime any different?

@jon-nyc said in Mildly interesting: It’s more weird that in 1500 there were zero potatoes in Europe and now we think of it as ‘traditional’ food in Germany, Eastern Europe, Ireland, etc. Take that even further. Even through the starvation during 30 Years War, Germans wouldn’t touch the things. They used them to feed livestock but wouldn’t eat them themselves.

Just a joke. No pizzas were harmed in the making of this thread.

Well darn, I should've listened to myself. Both were over 3,000% up since late 2024! Now down to just 2,000% up, wow. Nice job! The closest I could find to my reference of quantum is here btw... the timing lines up but I was not smart enough to think about stocks. https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/post/305940

Hahaha Ben Shaprio did exactly that when he covered this blooper by AOC.

Yeah and we're still in the infancy years of it. Admittedly I was stubborn and refused to embrace AI for a year or two, but not only have I started to integrate it into my work (mostly summarizing content, identifying the best big data queries to use) but now I have a post-it note on my desk to get into Claude. It seems it's easy to create a digital robot to perform so many tasks now. I hope to retire in 10-12 years and hope I can dodge the AI hammer until then.

US Trade Deficit Hits Record High Despite Tariffs US goods imports continued to outpace its exports last year, sending the country's trade deficit to a new high despite sweeping tariffs introduced by US President Donald Trump. The gap between the value of goods imported into the US and American products sold to other countries widened by 2.1% compared to 2024, hitting roughly $1.2 trillion (£890bn), official figures show. The rise emerged despite a sharp drop in trade with China, one of the earliest targets of the tariffs. The gap runs counter to one of the White House's key aims which is to reduce the deficit, arguing that US reliance on overseas goods has hollowed out the country's production abilities and put national security at risk.

Corny. So corny. Think Broadway meets Hee Haw.

Wonder if he uses the joke or a variety of it Link to video

Very somewhat related, but the former President of ROK was just sentenced to life in prison "for masterminding an insurrection during his presidency." The prosecution wanted the death penalty. https://asia.nikkei.com/politics/south-korean-ex-president-yoon-receives-life-sentence-for-insurrection

LOL An opportunity foiled!!!!

That actually is quite neat!
