The New Coffee Room

I remember when he wanted to sell half the reserves in the first term.

My understanding is strategic reserves across the west have a lot of overall capacity but are rate-limited in how much they can deliver per day thus can’t make up for a closed SoH.

@kluurs said in Gym culture question - ‘working in’:

One gym I worked at long ago had a healthy population of gang members and police working out there.

Across Austin Blvd I assume?

Someone sends me $0.03. I get an email from them, delivered legitimately by PayPal, asking me to urgently call PayPal support using an 800 number that does not belong to PayPal support.

Oh yeah, most of the people in my gym don’t. Unless they’re sweaty.

When I was a yoot the idea of ‘working in’ - letting someone who wanted to use the machine you’re using do his sets between yours - was the default.

With young people it seems less so. I never ask directly, but I’ll ask ‘how many sets you got left?’ I find that if they’re 40+ they usually offer to let me work in, if they’re young they just answer the question.

What do you see?

I feel like I'm channeling @mark circa 2010, but who here trusts the government to design a literacy (or civics) test and not use it to subtly weed out voters with opinions they don't like?

Jesus make it stop.

There is a lot of Oscar buzz about Jessie Buckley but it must have been weirdly tempting to cast Anne Hathaway in the lead role of Hamnet.

This is my audiobook. It’s a little weird because my kindle book at the moment is Shirer still. So I go back and forth between Weimar and WWII.

Julie Andrews is still alive and living in Long Island.

These are two Islamic terrorists that tried to commit mass murder in Manhattan Sunday.

@Mik said in Who was the last president who didn’t bomb any foreign countries?:

I was right on the first but thought maybe Ford had not.

Yeah, but his was a single defensive incident, in response to Khmer Rouge seizing a US ship. So doesn't count technically but still.

@89th said in Who was the last president who didn’t bomb any foreign countries?:

So, not Truman then?

lol

Extra credit - who was the second to last?

It won’t surprise you. I’ll put it behind a click so you have a chance to guess.
