The New Coffee Room

So bears do shit in the woods.

@89th said in Hay LD again: A starting pitcher in the major leagues, during the playoffs, hits three home runs while strikijg out over 10, with zero earned runs. Insane. Honestly, it reminds me of little league where the pitcher was the best hitter too. Feel bad for the brewers, a small town market trying to fight off of a rich Goliath. We cross posted, lol.

@89th said in Hay LD!: I’m in DC. It’s amazing how safe I feel as the military is glued to their phones and eating ice cream.

Yeah, but you got a purty mouth.

@AndyD said in Completely random: and age-hunched this I have really noticed also. But, that is a natural part of aging, especially for someone who has not taken too good of care of himself.

@Axtremus said in HUD website right now: Just checking ... Still better than the alternative, right? No need to stress. I’ll tell you when it isn’t.

Amazing what it can do.

Cool gesture. I just hope the world will be understanding if the kid sells it.

George Cuckanopolous got cucked (as is his birthright) by the vice president on national TV, and cut the interview off in a huff. For the record, Cuckanopolous did indeed "insinuate" that the cash transfer was an illegal bribe. But "the cuck", as his friends call him, has no more evidence than anybody else has. That the provider of a certain above-board service, accepted some cash in return for, presumably, that service. Maybe if your entire case would crumble to literally nothing if a check had been written rather than cash, you don't really have much of a case. Here's some discussion. Link to video

LOL I heard about that. The wanted the current Czech president to read it as it was opened, and it was a good thing that he declined.

https://fortune.com/2025/09/30/what-happened-soybean-farmers-argentina-china-scott-bessent-phone-texts/ According to a photo of a private text on the phone of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Argentina responded to the treasury secretary’s $20 billion bailout by turning around and removing its export taxes on soybeans and striking a huge new deal with China. That diminished the price of U.S. soybeans and weakened U.S. trade leverage with China, which immediately pulled out of its existing arrangements with soybean farmers in America’s heartland. The photo taken by Angelina Katsanis for the Associated Press last week shows Bessent reading a text that appears to be from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. “Finally—just a heads up, I’m getting more intel, but this is highly unfortunate,” the text said. “We bailed out Argentina yesterday and in return, the Argentine’s [sic] are removing their export tariffs on grains, reducing their price, and sold a bunch of soybeans to China, at a time when we would normally be selling to China. Soy prices are dropping further because of it. This gives China more leverage on us.” [image: AP25268801206056-e1759238604667.jpg?w=1440&q=90]

I may just borrow one from my brother for a while to see if it sticks.

There’s a story that has long floated around Hollywood. Early in his career a director wanted him to do a scene in which his character was rejected by a girl he was interested in. Redford had have it explained to him what that was like.

@Mik said in Seal Team 6 - Failed mission in North Korea in 2019: Swell. Now Kim knows about it. Maybe he only knows what we want him to know.
