The New Coffee Room

It’s only 52 down on the gulf today.

But it’s a damn sight better then the 20 and 8 inches of snow we left, 10 more coming Monday.

@jolly said in Jordan Peterson - Season 4 Episode 1: Matthew McConaughey:

MM was filming a movie around Baton Rouge several years ago. He likes boiled crawfish and seafood, and used to frequent a hole-in-the-wall place my SIL and her husband ate at pretty frequently. He kept things very low key, driving around town in an old, beat up pickup, wearing boots, jeans, a t-shirt and a trucker's cap.

It was kind of a point of pride in the place, that pretty much everybody knew who he was, but didn't bother him other than to say hello if they walked by his table in the back.

I'm guessing that was when he was doing True Detective?

Got me.

He finally had to quit dropping by, when The Baton Rouge Advocate did a story on him.

One more tidbit to the story...When he did Free State of Jones, which was filmed at Clinton, my nephew got a single line bit part, because McConaughey remembered him (my nephew has a pretty impressive red beard). His part was edited out in the final cut and the only appearance my nephew makes is as the body of a dead Union soldier.

@rainman said in Jolly Old Ammo Question:

I don't know what brand of rifle. We've got a huge area of garage where all our overflow treasures junk ends up. I think I know where it is, I'll try to find it. I still have a lousy back (always will), so the treasure hunt is not easy. And, I'm lazy. There is that.

Something like a pre-64 Winchester in 30-06 is worth $1000+. Something odd like a featherweight or a target model could be worth $4000-$10,000.

Hear him read it.

I did. 👍

@Rainman said in My Mom Died Yesterday:

Just wanted to thank you all for your kind words.
Funeral was on Saturday, really glad we had nice weather. The cemetery was very proactive with Covid protocols, they limited the number in the chapel to 20, although the capacity was 200. Minister spoke in both Estonian and English. All things considered, it was a very nice service for my mom. She directed the Esto choir for 49 years, amazing how many close friends she made over the years.

I'm so impressed the minister used both Estonian and English. He knew your mom would appreciate that. Sounds like he loved your mom, too, as well he should, with her directing the choir for nearly half a century.

Even the weather cooperated. I'd say your mom has some very good connections. I think I would have liked her very much, too.

Men are no darned good.

FIFYNNTTM

Is that just those that are assigned as men at birth or those that transition to men? Are those that are assigned male but transition to female no darn good, still? Does a person assigned female but transitions to male become no darned good? Are they even even worse since they are choosing to become no darned good,

For that particular issue, no, the equivalence is facile. The right does not love Trump like the left hates him. I mean you can claim they do, if you'd like. I don't think it's worth discussing because the notion is ridiculous.

Army Ranger Captain Drew Jensen

My belated condolences, sorry for your loss.

Heather and Bret Weinstein are discussing this right now on live stream:

As self-proclaimed lifelong progressives that have never considered voting R, they absolutely love the fact that Trump did this. A couple of episodes ago, they were horrified that STEM/STEAM were under attack by the radicals, who circulated a petition to remove STEM/STEAM from the curriculum, since it is based upon white privilege.

That live feed is good quality too.

10 year anniversary of the earthquake at Fukushima!

Crazy how fast time goes by

When the local people finally get enough, it will slow down. When people start running over protesters trying to stop their vehicles, when they use deadly force to defend themselves and their neighbors from protesters and when the elected officials realize their jobs are on the line, the protesters will be restricted to where and what they should have been restricted to in the first place....Permits and designated areas.

Turn violent, do not obtain a permit or stray from your area? To jail you go. No bond. Jail.

Scotty Kilmer is a mechanic, and has one of the most popular Youtube channels. He's quite the character, very "old school" in terms of honesty, and speaking his mind.

He mentioned that he has now passed the billionth viewer on his channel, and has 2 million subscribers. Maybe it was only 1 million.

At any rate, he mentioned that he has made over 7 million dollars off of YouTube over the years.

That's why a guy like Molyneux pleads for people to send him money, since demonetization is a killer. Bret Weinstein, Dave Rubin, and many others depend on their work making Youtube videos, it's a major source of income.

Tim Pool mentioned today that it's only a matter of time until YouTube pulls the plug on his channel, since YouTube has already demonetized most of his videos. How would you like your boss to say, "I don't like what you said this week, so no payment until you smartly decide to agree to our ideology."

Also may be that Joe Rogan saw this all coming, so he will be going to Spotify and earning millions. I'm sure Rogan will gladly flip off YouTube, on his way to greener grass.

This 4shared thing sucks. It will go to the audio, but when you click play a popup opens. If you're lucky you can simple click your back button and it will play. If not, you'll have to back all the way out and try again.

It was wonderful. And I hope done in two ways. I hope she still had a solo recording for the graduation ceremony.

Well, I'm not a native speaker, so maybe I'm missing some nuance, but "cue a war" sounds like a pretty clear suggestion to me that there is some kind of causal connection between the COVID bruhaha and this war.

By the way, otherwise I like Gina, even if she occasionally talks nonsense on Twitter 🙂

If your Occam’s razor is that she thinks the richest and probably most powerful person in the world was bought off to start a war, ok then. But other more reasonable interpretations of her message are available.

Maybe writing in plain English rather than clickbait bollocks would be a good idea?

Then we'd actually know what they meant.

That's what I'm finding difficult. Why write it in this way?

Writing in short declarative statements.
Implication of great wisdom.
No evidence needed or given.
It's what they want you to think.
Fuck knows why.
A ruthless hegemony undermined by minor celebrities masquerading as prophets.
If challenged can deny meaning.
Twitter word limit.

Yeah, it reads like Bukowski if he hung out with the Lone Gunmen all day instead of drinking his ass off.

@Rainman said in Scotty Kilmer for Jolly:

Probably the most popular mechanic old-school guy on YouTube, he's branching out into mini-documentaries. This one on Ford and the popularity of the first electric cars. Fun to watch, short and informative, and I mentioned Jolly because I know he'd find it a fun watch as a car guy, even though he probably knows all this stuff.

Yep, I occasionally drop in on Scotty.

p.s. George loves his voice...😄

I've watched that guy's videos. He knows of what he speaks.
