I haven't followed the debate, but isn't the administration totally admitting that the goal was to kill the people, even the survivors, not just stop the boat? There are less lethal ways to stop the boat, yes there are nets that can clog a motor if you're close enough, and the coast guard has specific weapons to be precisely shoot/terminate onboard motors.

There's nothing wrong with gambling per se, it's the sort of gambling where the player has a definitive mathematical disadvantage which is simply evil.

I'll make some phone calls.

I cannot imagine designing such a system without simple trend checking. Unless, of course….

White men are bring held accountable for what other white men do. That's what "reparations" are all about. Walz has always flown under the radar (at least to me--just another random blue governor of some cold state) I guess we can thank Kamala for bring his antics to the fore.

@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…

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.
