The New Coffee Room

Since ROCOR falls under the Moscow Patriarchy, you can be assured it is co-opted. Lock, stock and barrel. A fish rots from its head.

The target customers for this product are likely athletes. Maybe market research shows that to be appropriate.

Lovely. I love FLW houses. At least to look at. Kluurs has some near him.

The thing is that President Trump has power with his followers almost more because of his personality than his policies. He can change his policies 180 and his followers will give great support to whichever side he picks. First they were against it, then they were for it. (See US steel sale) Dont think there is anybody on either side that has such a hold on their followers.

@Axtremus said in Somebody let AI do his homework: Unfortunately not everybody cares. People who are willing to believe (or at least not dispute) Trump‘s “many people say …” stuff are unlikely to care about citation and reference accuracy. Even here, where we believe our regulars are more thoughtful, more informed than the general population, not every one thinks references and citations are important. Unfortunately, it is something both sides are guilty of. If it is (generic) your side that does something stupid, it is easy to dismiss. If (generic) you is on the other side, it is a big deal. It is a rare politician who is willing to speak up against their side.

Nah. I have had both. I see no reason to spend more money when I have two perfectly good Lenovo Yogas, one in the sunroom, one in my upstairs office. Both have been remarkably trouble free. Life is good. One I bought in 2018, one in 2022.

He created his own problem. But he did not sound Afghani to me.

I have light weight folding 7” pruning saw that clips on to my belt or knapsack that does the same as that. I can easily cut any branch up to 4” or 5” diameter with it.

If you really want to experience the joy of professional sports and in particular the wonderful behaviour of the fans, you should try living in a small town that is home to a large sports stadium. Do I miss it? No, I don't.

I mean, we'd be almost 4 months into Harris' presidency and the Russian/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas wars would still be raging. Many people have told me they could be solved in one day.

The best people.

“Where’s Jolly? I miss him ”

Busy now I went once will post about it later.

@AndyD said in Optical illusion: Every 5 seconds for me🤪 Yeah me too. I had to "force" myself to try and not let the shapes change perspective and even then most of the time it kept happening.

@LuFins-Dad said in Dress Code Violation: I mean, that’s a fact. As is his shirt. Actually not really. ‘There are only two sexes’, sure. But gender is made-up-and-agreed-upon.
