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

    Yeah her speech was decent but selling merch at your husband’s funeral is a bit much.

    @89th Yes. (As I have say before, the US President Press Secretary has to be one of the worst jobs to have. Stand up and say with a straight face things that are absolutely wrong or just lies.)

    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

    @taiwan_girl said in The Ukraine war thread: After getting to know and full understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation.............. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasnt President Trump elected almost 1 year ago? Nobody knows more about international matters than Donald Trump. Just ask Pete Hegseth and J D Vance.

    @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.

    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.

    Just watched Moonlight. You may recall it dramatically one best picture after an incorrect announcement was made. The film is set in three acts, the acting is terrific throughout, but the first act for me was the best, the other two acts were a bit on stall mode… a decent movie that was made in a way that almost required it to be a best picture nominee, but not one I’ll watch again.

    https://fortune.com/2025/09/21/behind-closed-doors-ceos-say-trump-is-bad-for-business-and-its-time-to-make-america-into-america-again/ The Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute’s CEO forum gathers top political leaders with Fortune 500 CEOs for a Chatham House rules discussion where direct quotes are off the record. In Washington DC this week at the 155th gathering, as clouds swirled around the Capitol building just steps away, senators from both parties and some top Trump administration officials joined us. They had to face down the near unanimous verdict from over 100 top business leaders, representing some of the world’s largest companies and most iconic brands: Trump’s policies aren’t working. These opinions were all about business results, by the way: the reasoning was independent of personal politics or industry sector, it always came back to the bottom line. Business leaders at our forum worry that Trump is undermining an economic system that took decades to build and has long benefited the U.S. more than any other country, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, all for short-term gains. They see what’s happening as a hollowing out of U.S. economic foundations and institutions. In this free-to-speak environment (a loaded topic these days), they said that while they approve of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and bolstering economic and national security, they fear for America’s international standing amid the degradation of national security at the FBI, the CIA, and the Pentagon.
