The New Coffee Room

The burger place @jon-nyc went to isn’t really fast food, it’s casual. Some of these burger places are pretty pricey,

We had Wendy's Saturday long before the Chipotle. It was tasty. Fast food has its place, just not as a steady diet.

I would likely blame the Wendy’s for your distress over the Chipotle.

Sorry, but my sleep cycle follows the sun. I think it does for most of us. Wake ~ sunrise , sleep ~ (sunset + x hours). It’s far simpler to attune our 24 hour day to sunrise than to try to attune our waking/sleeping cycle to different times…

I don’t mind if they trade to a Faucioli… After they bought the Bosie, of course.

The post?

Good Morning, ChatGPT. What is the one piano brand that Steinway owners aspire to trade up to?

Bösendorfer is the piano brand that Steinway owners often aspire to trade up to. As one of the world's most prestigious handmade grand piano makers, Bösendorfer (founded in Vienna in 1828) stands out for its unique design features, like an extended scale with extra keys for richer bass tones and an "open pinblock" for superior clarity and tuning stability. These elements create a warmer, more colorful sound profile compared to Steinway's brighter, more powerful projection—making it a coveted upgrade for those seeking nuanced tonal variety over sheer volume.

I have a great idea for a post, have tested the questions/answers in ChatGPT, and they work perfectly. But I’m not sure if I’m allowed to just screen record and post? For a personal account I don’t think there would be an issue, but for a business account?

I think the critical question here is magnitude. Just how much of the baked goods was she selling? Was it lifting her income levels beyond the poverty levels? If so, by how much? Does the resupply costs push her back down? If not, then there could be a case of abusing the system…

Now, a smart Governor and state prosecutor would use this as an opportunity… Put her through a Small Business Administration course… Giver her an SBA grant for a woman owned business… Promote the crap out of her.

But Whitmer isn’t really a smart governor.

What’s your guys’ take on that woman in Michigan that was using her SNAP benefits to buy flour/eggs/milk and such, but was using it to make baked goods that she would sell online as a business? An under the table business at that, which means no income accounting.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Annual Halloween head count:
town.

It also probably helps that while the houses on our street are fairly modest, there are a few streets nearby with a decent number of McMansions.

That’s actually fairly poor planning for trick and treaters. The display of wealth does not translate into higher qualitative or quantitative treats. In addition, those things are often built on 2 parcels of land, meaning fewer opportunities per step walked. Especially the ones with the long driveways/walkways.

Smart trick or treaters look for townhouse developments.

1 $TRUMP is worth 5.91 Euros…

Enjoying a cigar and a not too sweet bourbon watching adults sneak through the neighborhood looting leftovers from the candy bowls.

@Mik said in The Louvre Robbery:

The Paris prosecutor is offering reduced sentences if they bring back the jewels. Makes sense.

25 years in Prison or a reduced sentence where I come out poor and dead within 3 months? No thanks…..

It was dead in our neighborhood. People are blaming the trunk or treats. Still, made friends with a neighbor down the street that’s coming over for whiskey and a cigar at 9, so bonus!

May I suggest $TRUMP ?

Full credit to @AndyD as he nailed this joke week’s before I did…

I suppose they could take that too, and we'd call him "The pissartist formerly known as..

Hey! You win!

@jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics:

It doesn’t end things itself but the mere fact that a small handful of republicans are putting country before party is encouraging. To me anyway.

The numbers aren’t any different than the first try at this, except this time McConnell was present.

@Mik said in The Louvre Robbery:

AI says 25 years is the most they could get.

Trading 25 years for unimaginable wealth? Not at this point, thanks.

@jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics:

What’s the practical effect? This feels to me like the whole UN resolution condemning Putin thing… There’s no practical effect. Just more hot air.
