The New Coffee Room

I don't know that a bunch of people denying the science of vaccines constitutes a serious lack of public confidence. More like a lack of sense.

@Mik said in The Cookbook: I used Duke's. That's the house mayo at Chez Kean. Yes I know that's not proper French..bugger off pedantifs. (that's French for pedants. I looked it up) I might try a little sour cream or even a little cream to thin it out. A pedant's work is never done.

We’ve paid half the tuition and are paying the interest on the loans. Luke is paying the principal. That being said, I think it’s been tough living at the median income with a single income since the 80s, when the majority of families became two income households.

RIP Bill Atkinson. IMO, you were a towering pioneer who brought the graphical user interface to the masses.

Haha ain’t that the truth.

@89th said in What’s your over/under on Trump/Musk?: I wonder if Elon will record it then leak it. God I hope so.

Jesus. This is both hilarious and terrifying. I cannot believe we are here.

It happened again: The crew of a cargo ship carrying 3,000 vehicles to Mexico, including 800 electric vehicles, abandoned ship after they could not control a fire aboard the vessel in waters off Alaska’s Aleutian island chain. A large plume of smoke was initially seen at the ship’s stern coming from the deck loaded with electric vehicles Tuesday, according to U.S. Coast Guard photos and a Wednesday statement from the ship’s management company, London-based Zodiac Maritime. https://apnews.com/article/cargo-ship-electric-car-fire-alaska-22fff66494b023142376bda01a781744

In my view there’s not as much need to create a 3rd party as there was historically. As Trump showed a charismatic figure can take over the party apparatus of one of the existing parties. That wasn’t quite possible on the dem side in the last couple elections but the party is probably weak enough now for it to be possible. But of course I’m with you on yearning for more moderate politics.

Turns 100 in December...

If it’s true, I’m for it.

@taiwan_girl said in I think I have the answer …: This may be a bit more accurate way to look at it. Carbon per capita. [image: Carbon-Emissions-Per-Capita-shareable-v4.jpg] 80% of the per capita US emissions are from all the energy people are expending screaming about emissions. Private Jets for Algore to go to climate conferences, and all of the internet bandwidth being used to protest nuclear…

That's how I use it and it excels 90% of the time. It distills the subject down to what you really need to know.

Staff at the Federal Emergency Management Agency were caught off-guard and left bewildered when the disaster relief agency’s new acting head David Richardson told personnel that he was previously unaware the United States has a hurricane season, which started Sunday. Richardson made the comments during a briefing Monday morning, multiple sources told CNN. While some interpreted the remark as a joke, others said it raised concerns about the recently appointed acting administrator, who has no prior experience managing natural disasters. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/02/politics/david-richardson-fema-head-unaware-hurricane-season
