@blondie said in 89th - because of you…: I counted shoes in bins at the front door. I’m under 45 . I ditched 2 pairs of sad slippers, and some boots.

I am really surprised. Also, the phone? https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/843498/trump-phone

@blondie Really great advice. Wish I could reply to all, but a few ones> 3: Procrastination. Not me, I'll donate something in a snap if I can. My dad is a bit of a hoarder, less with volume but more with dressers (plural) that he keeps in storage because they've been in the family forever. They've also been in musty storage basements for 40 years. 4-5: Dirty little secrets. Ha, I'll ask one day! The little cleanings I do are a thankless job. We'd have 300 happy meal toys all over if it weren't for my heroic efforts when folks are away, LOL. 6-7: Elders. No they aren't the source of the clutter at all. And very good point about not being their avenue to downsize as they minimalize things, too. 10: Booze. Yeah that was becoming a problem. Not in a "can't stop" (I could stop for weeks) way, but more of a way at night to numb out the stress of the normal day plus stuff on top, like clutter. As I slowly get back in shape, I've learned staying disciplined at night and not snacking/drinking is 2-3x better (caloric, even!) than a 30 minute jog!

Here's an idea. Ellison buys Netflix. Ellison makes Netflix change to use Oracle Cloud (from AWS) as its cloud provider. Oracle uses these funds to build a bigger rocket than Bezos' AWS, the two rockets fight in the air. Meanwhile Elon has already deployed 10,000 starlink satellites making him "bro, totally ABOVE the cloud, amirite". And finally, a white man becomes rich.

US booze for the most part, remained on the shelves here. To my knowledge it has stayed on the shelves and has been collecting dust.

@Mik said in Hay Lufin: I've had relatively good experiences with chiropractors. But none of them have ever wanted to get invasive. There are chiropractors and then there are Chiropractors…

That's a far cry from what chatGPT said. It did acknowledge that in certain contexts it can carry the implication of antisemitism, but that was a corner usage. Perhaps not so corner in certain places in punditry.

Oluwadamilola Ogooluwa Bamigboye and Rekeya Lionesha Lee Frazier Down goes Bamigboye!

Cool she’s into group play.

Yeah - I feel the Canadian ire all the time as someone who travels there frequently. You can't blame them - it's like a family member just turning on you all of sudden for no rhyme or reason (or benefit to anyone).

I finally got to see my doctor on Monday and showed her the rash on my scrotum. She just ignored me and kept pushing her cart through Costco.

@Mik said in It's not just Minnesoota: That's ridiculous. How do you know they didn't identify these schemes to begin with or serve as the catalyst that led to it? I think we can know that. Elon would have bragged about it either then or now. Plus the bulk of it was from a pandemic era program that ended in 2022. I’m pretty sure doge was more focused on cutting current and future spending. What backwards-looking investigation they did do was focused on justifying the termination or reduction of ongoing programs.

Hey, w00t! https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/38082/time-s-2025-person-of-the-year-predictions

The question is the answer.

I'm going to pretend that I care whilst secretly sneering at your pointless existence.

Peter Attia interview from back in 2021 with the journalist who really dove into the Andrew Wakefield hoax and the origins of the ‘vaccines cause autism’ memetic complex. He follows the histories of the players involved (Wakefield originally sought out to show measles caused IBD), what they did, what they fabricated, and how they were able to have their initial success. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-peter-attia-drive/id1400828889?i=1000517725939

It’s hard to say. I haven’t been doing much cycling in the past 6 weeks but it’s gone up in that time. I bought an indoor trainer for my basement but haven’t used it much due to the awkward placement. I just got rid of that large extraneous bed in my basement which will allow me to put it in a good place and use it more. What’s new for me in the last six weeks or so is daily treadmill time.
