The New Coffee Room

Doesn’t have anywhere near as good of a soundtrack as Exodus…

Sad - pretty obvious there are mental or addiction problems and probably both.

Some people really look different as they age. But Einstein looks exactly the same to me.

@LuFins-Dad He was probably drunk.

I would have been stressed when young because I wouldn’t have known what I was doing. I’d be more stressed now because I still don’t know what I’m doing AND my hands have a bit of a tremor from tacrolimus.

@Tom-K it helps that I know all these guys personally. The problem is I’m getting to an age where I’m the oldest one around and there’s are lots of young people that I don’t know. This guy I just picked up the phone and called and he said come in tomorrow.

There are 16 Pearl harbor survivors alive. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/07/us/pearl-harbor-anniversary-survivors/index.html I thought there was a nip in the air today.

He'll be an Uber driver next week.

To further hijack... this video also helps show the "holy crap a massive building is falling but, being controlled" feeling. Link to video

Rachmaninov practising: “Arriving at the designated hour of twelve,” he wrote, “I heard an occasional piano sound as I approached the cottage. I stood outside the door, unable to believe my ears. Rachmaninov was practising Chopin’s Étude in thirds, but at such a snail’s pace that it took me a while to recognise it because so much time elapsed between each finger stroke at the next.” Chasins was so fascinated by the slow speed that he looked at his watch to clock what he was hearing. He reported that “twenty seconds per bar was his pace for almost an hour”. Chasins described himself as “rivetted to the spot, quite unable to ring the bell”.

If you get a cold winter day that doesn't mean Global Warming isn't real. But if you get some warm water in the gulf, it is the fault of people who don't follow California rules. • Supercharged by climate change: The storm’s intensity was fueled by warm waters due to fossil fuel use. It was the strongest hurricane on record to slam into Florida’s Big Bend region. The atmosphere, warmed by more than a century of fossil fuel pollution, is hotter now than it was in pre-industrial times. https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-helene-florida-georgia-09-27-24#cm1ks4uqd00003b6sbai9rpvq

@Horace said in So who is this Laura Loomer?: I wonder which has more evidence, Haitians eating pets, or Loomer having an affair with Trump? Does it matter? Gossip is gossip..

Great pictures @bachophile Looks very peaceful.

@bachophile said in Front hole: https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/find-cancer-early/screening-in-lgbtq-communities/trans-man-or-nonbinary-person-assigned-female-at-birth-do-i-need-cervical-cancer-screening The "front" hole is not the cervix. The "front hole" is the vagina. The cervix is about 3-4 inches north of that, last time I looked (about 8 years ago). Read the disclaimer at the bottom. (Ooops wrong word maybe, read the disclaimer on the lower right) Another reason we use words like “cervix” is to normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too. What the actual hell does that mean. Wait...lemme look. BRB. . . . . . Nope no cervix here. In fact, there are no cervices in this house.

Betts had huge boots to fill immediately after Duane Allman was killed. He did it admirably and with great musical skill. Brothers and Sisters was very good album and really launched the band into something more than a southern rock/blues jam band that primarily appealed to other musicians- in particular, guitarists - and a select sector of blues fans. Betts’ solo album Highway Call (1974) focussed on his Country Swing influences and remains to this day an overlooked gem. Certainly one of my all time favourite albums from the era. R.I.P.
