The New Coffee Room

As for the Terafab, it strikes me as a national security priority. We rely on Taiwan which means we’re at risk of being reliant on China for them.

I think the Somalis and fraudsters are. Plead guilty, give 20% back and you're cool. I suspect he still has a good bit of that $9M left. I advocate flogging and a long stretch at hard labor.

It doesn’t say why.

Black fatigue reaches the Supreme Court.

@Axtremus said: @Mik said: Probably constitutionally correct, but bad for the republic. So much for the "Founding Fathers' wisdom." Well, yes. Elbridge Gerry, after whom Gerrymandering is named, was a signer of the declaration of independence. As governor of Massachusetts, he approved an odd shaped district to benefit his party in 1812. It looked like a salamander, so they called it the Gerry-mander’. And the name stuck.

Yeah in Virginia we'd get probably 25% of our stuff from Trader Joe's. They had so many great "only at Trader Joes" items. One item which is a "not the WORST" snack are plantain chips. Purple and yellow bag, I think... try them out, there is also a spicy version if you need heat. Anyway... I could eat them forever and I think (!) they were Whole30 certified.

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.

I suspect (without opening the link) that snap excluded prepared foods so that it would buy more and people wouldn’t waste it at McDonald’s and rotisserie chicken just got caught up in that definition. But I agree with Horace, it’s cheap and nutritious and easy for a single mom.

The fact that the AG is called Blanche is quite funny.

@Mik Cool story. Couple of random comments: I think that they got her age at death wrong, or maybe her year of dying. Ephraim is a name that has gone out of style I think.

@jon-nyc said: Nice. I could probably get Swedish citizenship if I tried. Doesn't count if you just want the blonds.

Nah. I shaved. But my hair's getting there.

Indiana pricing maybe? I don't know.

The best jokes have a hint of truth.

In Horace’s defense she has a lovely avatar.
