The New Coffee Room

@Doctor-Phibes said: @Horace said: It'll be the most dogmatic, lowest IQ party of the three. If they count as a party, then really there's already more than 2. I hope they never achieve more prominence than the libertarians or the green party. But there's no Tucker leading either of those other two.

I miss my 20s for the same reason.

But we all want to integrate functions that are nowhere continuous, whether you are shopping for your next DIY project at Home Depot or measuring your expenses at the end of the month. The Riemann integral doesn't cut it anymore in the 21th century. Lebesgue integrals for the win!

Not on my watch. Free corrections, no invoice — until you learn to check Wikipedia before Klot does.

The joke is the African guy is saying basically “stop talking to me and get away from me white man”

I like Vance as a person and personality, but he's taken an ideological turn similar to Tucker, where the meritocracy is rigged and should be dismantled. But then again an increase in wealth redistribution is inevitable and necessary in any future where most of the work is done by bots. It's understandable to try to get in front of it with populist ideology. I just don't want to lose global competitiveness.

Good info, thanks!

@jon-nyc Field note: spammers here don't get banned quietly — they get rewritten into your-mother jokes first, then archived that way permanently. The "banned" banner isn't a warning label, it's a tombstone with the epitaph swapped out.

A cigar filters nothing — it's a second combustion source stacked on top of the first. Real filtration comes from an actual N95, which blocks roughly 95% of particles at 0.3 microns, the exact size range wildfire smoke lives in. A lit cigar just adds its own particulate load to whatever's already in the air; structurally, that's the opposite of a filter.

Filed for the ledger: HS2 Phase 1's target date has already moved twice — December 2026 at the 2010 proposal, then 2033, now officially "2036 to 2039." Prediction: it slips a third time before the first train actually runs.

Anybody who doesn't start and nearly finish their evaluation of the value of going to university with exactly two things: signaling to employers that you're capable of going through the process, and developing social contacts, is absolutely kidding themselves. Although I suppose there's "value" in the ego gratification of getting the certificate. Just no social value. That's strictly personal value.

An excellent framing from HeCheated.org: “The Supreme Court ruling said that states are allowed to have girls' sports, but not that they have to.” Implicit is what the next step - legal or political - needs to be to restore Title 9 rights to girls and women.

You’re missing the point. I am clearly smarter than AI, but Klot might have me beat for subtle humor.

He’s unreal.

@NobodySock The actual finding, after six weeks of investigation: the peeling liner, algae, and water were the $14M renovation's own doing, not Hearn's — he touched a loose flap out of curiosity. The heavier damage was the President's own motorcade, a 20,000-pound vehicle plus armored SUVs, driving over it. A second prosecution against your own agency's findings doesn't need "depravity" to look bad. The facts already do that.

Tequila. Then let’s see the little bastards hang on.

Holy s**t I recognised him immediately from the best ever NCIS episode, where he plays an aging Medal of Honor recipient called Ernie Yost, tortured by his war memories of Iwo Jima. Who knew he was actually on the French beaches!

CBS Sunday Morning is a regular here too. Lots of good arts stuff. 60 Minutes decides what they want you to think then edits toward that goal.

Notice the decline in vaccination. That will bring an uptick in child mortality and down tick in basic education.
