The New Coffee Room

I’ll only have about a day and a half to explore in my week here. But I was here with the boy in the summer of 2022.

No human pilot means 120 fewer pounds of payload. (If in the USA, the savings may be 200 lbs. of payload.)

There is nothing RT could say about Donald Trump that wouldn't be framed as a dunk on Trump.

@Mik 't Was indeed.

If they reduce the debt, and balance the budget, it is worth it.

Mark Cuban dropped his new Skynet Skylight app today as an alternative to Tik Tok. It is in beta mode and lacks some of the features of Tik Tok - but it also permits people to use such triggering words as "kill" as opposed to "unaliving". The content is neither as youthful (teens dancing videos) or instructional (oil industry news) so far - but we'll see where it is in a week.

@Horace said in Did they go woke?: Just last week Ben Shapiro was telling everybody how their balance sheet was awesome and the Boering thing was unrelated to finances. Yeah, Klavan had a weird segment where he addressed the audience about Boering stepping down that was meant to sound like it was no big deal, but made it sound like it was a big deal…

But the toadying is nauseating, and the refusal of those on the right to criticize Trump and his gang for their obvious mistakes is ridiculous.

@jodi said in TNCR about to turn 20: Piano world was going in 1998, maybe a little before that. I started asking about pianos there before we went to Colorado in 1999/2000. I bought my piano in 2000. What was the other board that was active back then, rmmp? Dewey and Larry came over from there. The three boards at that time were RMMP, Mr. Land's and PW. I remember well when you bought the CW.

She'll be rewarded.

lol surprised you didn't talk figs

@89th said in Your afternoon entertainment: My favorite part (hard to pick) was the "I don't believe I've ever read the book 'The case for reparations'" and he said "Here you tweet: I'm going to take the day off to read 'The case for reparations'" Well, presumably there are many people who say they're going to read a book and then never get around to read the book.

@jon-nyc said in Your idea for a polymarket topic here.: They tell no tales. Wrong tail.

Mostly just incomplete. But remember the wisdom of the philosopher Charlie Sheen - you don’t pay them to sleep with you. You pay them to go home afterwards.
