The New Coffee Room

@Horace said in ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis: Well, you categorize people in very simple terms, and have missed, willingly or otherwise, my negative commentary on Tucker. You probably more listen to Phibes' characterization of my attitude towards Tucker than you do me. I know how easy it is to judge people based on who they have ever claimed to listen to or even partially resonate with. It's why people like you and Phibes never admit to respecting any public personality. It's the safe choice, especially for those who most freely use that cudgel of categorizing people and permanently attaching them to anybody they have said positive things about. Hey, no need to bring me into your weird little ongoing marital spat. And the fact that I prefer to spend my free time listening to light history podcasts rather than to these "personalities" you listen to doesn't mean I don't respect public personalities. I just don't happen to respect the ones you listen to. Melvin Bragg, for example - he's fucking great. Admittedly, nobody over here has probably heard of him, but that's hardly my fault. Adam Maness is somebody else I really like - he's a jazz pianist and commentator. Sorry, not everything is politics.

Do the racists make it February because it's the shortest month?

Except he predicted a crash in 07-09 and then lost money when it happened. It doesn’t pay to have really precise theories about just how things will go wrong. Or at least to bet on them.

@axtremus I started it in ChatGPT Thinking. The initial prompt provides a project to pull into Android Studio. It was far from complete at that stage. Over the next few days I had the AI inside Android studio do the rest of the work. Several sessions of prompts actually. I would test, report things I didn't like, errors, things not functioning as expected, etc. After what I estimate to be about 8-10 total hours of working in studio I had a polished and fully functioning app. I did have to do some manual manipulation of the code along the way. I am considering putting it out on the app store but I am also worried about legal and liability issues. I was thinking of a subscription fee of $1/month or $10 / year if paid annually. Get myself 10,000-100,000 subscribers, and retire. lol

But the paintings.

I know a few AWFUL women. Has a nice ring to it.

None of us here were rich or prominent enough to be his friend. Only you were young and female enough to be molested by him but fortunately you were a continent away.

Nothing like a red wine braised pot roast on a cold Saturday. I added a fennel bulb and mushrooms https://playswellwithbutter.com/red-wine-braised-beef/

Nice.

I don't know either but doubt they would get press credentials.

There's a Skyline in every area and they're all pretty good. Suck it up, buttercup.

@jodi said in Trauma at Big Bear Lake: One of the things they are saying is that the birds may have known the eggs were unviable, and that’s why they left them alone. Not sure is that is accurate, but it’s possible. She's back on the remaining egg now, but who knows?

@Mik said in In other news…: I have no issue with someone who wants to do this and has been psychologically vetted. I do have a problem with it becoming a cottage industry with no vetting, just the whims of maladjusted youth milked for profit. If this stops it so much the better. That’s where I used to be, but not as much, anymore.

I’m hoping they overreach and try to take over some of the properties that are off the market due to their idiotic policies. Then maybe scotus can find rent control itself to be a taking under the fifth amendment.

Large projects are a lot easier when you have slave labor. Still, it's good to see the Saudis planning for economic viability post-petroleum. Unless there's a huge expansion in the need for sand it's their only natural resource.

I blame the lesbians. God fucking hates ‘em. You’d think he’d have more important stuff to think about, but no. It’s lesbians all day long. That’s why he watches all those movies presumably.
