The New Coffee Room

It’s sad how so many people now think of phones and cars as something you constantly have a payment for.

And because they think that way they spend far more than they should.

Update. Its been almost exactly two months since I stopped that drug. My weight hit 168.2 today, my nadir was 148.1 on February 28th.

So I’ve gained 20lbs in 2 months. Good weight too, not sloppy weight. When I hit 175 or so I’ll probably cut back the carbs a bit but keep myself at 3000 calories or so. Maybe not though since by then I’ll be riding a lot and burning calories.

Way too well written for an insanity plea.

Guys like him should write two of these - one for if he lives that makes him sound totally insane, and then a real one for if he dies.

In fairness, she (or someone on her behalf) paid a LOT of money for that table and she just went through a pretty dramatic few minutes.

I listened to that show.

Interesting.

"A Chinese businessman puts Trump’s blunders in perspective. 'Trump’s attack on Iran is less consequential than his threat to attack Greenland. When he did that, to America’s oldest allies, I knew Europe would not follow America’s approach to China.'”

An actual conspiracy!

That’s the OP’s theory.

I saw an interesting tidbit - the shooter never even got to the same floor as the president was on. He was stopped at the security checkpoint. So I’m not sure the people saying ‘security failed’ have a point.

Also it sort of dampens some of the silly conspiracy theories. Surely if you staged this you’d let the ‘shooter’ enter the room before being caught.

It’s not obvious that the ballroom, if it existed, would have been used. The White House doesn’t host this. The president just goes.

lol

Lunacy and conspiracy

Even the Canucks are getting in on the action.

Maybe, but 4 points are 4 points.

Mexico had just such a crossing in the late 19th century until the canal was built. So did Panama for that matter.

I checked and this new one has approximately 10% of the capacity of the canal. Probably makes sense as overflow for perishable or seasonal goods when the canal is backed up but not as a competitor under normal circumstances.
