The New Coffee Room

I imagine the “scientists” were women complaining about it being too cold and started playing with the thermostat.

Wait, the President of Colombia is so concerned about the dignity of these citizens that he will fly them on the Presidential plane rather than have them suffer the indignity of flying in a military plane, yet they claim they came to the US for asylum?

Ouch… 55-23… Is it better to lose a close Divisional Round game, or get spanked in the Championship?

And Eagles get the ball back in the 2nd half. Could be 20 points in 5-6 minutes of game time…

By the way, gas prices are almost $.20 lower than they were before the election. Mostly because the Saudis dumped a helluva lot of oil on the market, but it is well known that for good or ill, Trump has a strong relationship with the Saudis and it wouldn’t be that crazy to suggest that Trump’s impending administration was a factor in the move.

Not exactly accurate since the Saudis still haven’t dumped any oil on the market:

So if your prices at the pump dropped it was for another reason much closer to home. Will let you figure it out.

That’s nice news from this week, but the Saudis have been lowering prices all year, with an acceleration in October. And they also started threatening $50 barrels around then, too.

Ok. Get shed of as many as you can. Still no need to publish their names.

I’m not disagreeing, but is the guilty party the X poster, or the newspaper and/or the journalist that put it together?

@jon-nyc said in Columbia:

Columbia == University in Washington Heights

Colombia == Country in South America

Yell at autocorrect.

Because the numbers work in his favor if he chooses that date?

Not at all, it’s because that’s when the Saudis started dumping the oil, as I said in the post. The question is whether you think the impending Trump administration had any impact on the Saudi decision.

Now I want to go find and watch the Milton Berle episode.

Greenland would be a nice safe place to build a few nuclear reactors…

The DEA is getting in on the action…

Several dozen of those arrested were part of that gang taking over apartment buildings in Aurora, CO.

I feel like Buitengebieden deserves their own pinned thread.

@Horace said in Saturday Night on Netflix:

Well, Chase is a known curmudgeon, to use a kind word. It's not that there are a few stories of him being difficult on sets, it's that there are zero stories of him being gracious on sets.

True. He even got Reitman’s father kicked off a movie in the 90s. And Jason Reitman gre up with “Uncle Bill” and “Uncle Dan” (who reportedly had a fistfight with Chase)… I’m sure the film had it’s moments that were less than favorable towards Chase.

It’s pretty astounding that an American citizen was a political prisoner in Belarus during the last 3 years and nobody knew about it.

Hey @Mik while I generally agree with you about making the positions a target and not the people, what about situations like this?

What about it? There is no legitimate reason to list those names. The individuals are not the problem. It’s the department and positions.

I also question that there are 52 people dedicated to DEI.

Here’s the newspaper article the image and the receipts are pulled from.

Akroyd, on the other hand, loved it.

Chevy Chase told the writer/director that it was a load of horseshit and he should be embarrassed.
