The New Coffee Room

All I know is I physically peaked at age 27. All downhill from there.

It’ll be a night launch. Wish it was daylight but that’s only possible for one or two of these dates in April.

I’m really not looking forward to one last shoving in the dark after dinner. But I need to do it to get salt down before the ‘wintry mix’ comes

Probably too late for advice, but if you can leave a little snow on the ground, the ice will stay on top of the snow when you clear it. Much harder to get ice off (I suppose salt helps) if it's fused to the pavement directly.

Pretty good summary here.

Fantastic summary. It boggles the mind, and dare I say I think the public and companies are starting to come around to the sheer lunacy to try and believe what the DHS is trying to say happened.

I heard it was a bust in Virginia, mostly. My brother is in Richmond and meteorologists only a few hours before the storm were saying almost a guaranteed 4-5" at least, plus sleet. They didn't even get 0.5" of snow!

The idea that he got to the top of that building using mostly his arms faster than most people would by taking the stairs is...crazy. Luckily I knew he didn't die before I watched it on delay last night but still, sweaty palms for sure. I'm a big Alex fan, but am a little critical about how casual he is about the impact of his death towards his wife/kids (in the article he said his kids wouldn't really remember him so it wasn't as big of a deal or something). If I were a single dude I would be happy to comfort his wife though, she's a cutie (and a good climber too, I think?).

Finally, how he can stand near the edge (or on the top) and not get vertigo or dizzy or have the desire to crouch down, makes me think the MRI finding above is pretty accurate. No fear.

This reminds me to remind you what I remind my kids all the time... how lucky are we to have aluminum in our lives? Such a cool metal and so many uses.

Too bad his name wasn't Joey instead of Jay

Very cool, I do that for my Christmas tree each year. I've been using the same gallon milk jug (with water, of course) and set up using Pascal's Principle (?) or whatever it's called where the water levels remain the same. I fill the jug up with water every few days as the tree sucks it up.

Fascinating idea, thanks for sharing!

This reminds me, I need to check my monthly expenses to see what subscriptions I have that I'm not reminded about. Weird how companies like to send you plenty of communication except reminders about a monthly charge you have.

He stopped looking for this in August btw. Sorry mate.

Funny, I thought about that today. The heated steering wheel that is, and how it’d be hard not to have it. (my current car does not have it, but my wife’s does)

Very true.

This is the second shot, but you can see the casing flying through the air on the left. I think this is the guy who took the first shot, too. Yes shooting in the back, he’s on his knees.

Yup there’s not really a clear reason he’s focusing so much on Minnesota other than he knows it’s a blue state and that it’s a bit of a powder keg. There are plenty of other states and cities with much more fraud and many more illegals.

My car said -21 today while driving at 6am. New record!

Ha!

Those are the clearest 2 angles.
