The New Coffee Room

Yes, it is hard for us to imagine life back then. Things that we take for granted were a luxury not too long ago and before then, did not exist.

I think even of some of the things I had (or didn't have) when I was growing up.

I could not find reference to them on map. Where do they appear and do they share a border with Israel?

@jon-nyc said in Hey bike peeps:

That’s not me, to be clear. That’s the current Tour de France champion on a random training ride.

No mortal is averaging 30mph on a century ride. None.

I mean, unless the whole fucking thing is downhill. A steep downhill.

Ah okay! LOL. Still a good job however.

I would not have been hanging around on that bridge as long as the filming guy did, that is for sure!!!

Wow!! That is fantastic!!! Good job!!!

I would be interested in seeing something on what they stand for.

Just saying that they are different from the two major party's is not enough. (On second thought, maybe it is. LOL)

Thanks for sharing. It was interesting, but I think I am just as confused about US healthcare was I was before. 555

Look, single payer has a lot of advantages economically, policy wise

Is the above true?

and

I think one of the most astonishing facts I've ever come across is after the Freddie Gray riots, we found that two areas three miles apart in Baltimore have a 17-year difference in life expectancy. Three miles, 17 years. One is 84, one is 67. 67 is lower than North Korea. And a lot of the factors are economic opportunities, people are much poorer. A lot of it is access to healthcare.

That is a tough one. A person gets shot in a rich area, better hospital etc. Person gets shot in a poor area, not so much. But, a person in a rich area has a much lower chance of getting shot. So, while access to healthcare is important, it is not the root cause. Giving people in poor violent areas better access to healthcare may not improve the life span that much if the root is not taken care of.

Smart bird!!

Hugs to you @mark

Yes, dementia seems to be much harder on the care-givers than on the patient.

I have a friend in the US (maybe late 50's year old) who has a mom with dementia. She is in an assisted living place like you mention. It is one of those "age in place" and his mom has moved through the stages (starting at independent apartment living) to the most intensive assisted living.

He and his wife just found out that his wife was diagnosed with early dementia. :(. He said that while he really likes the place his mom is at and has received great care there, he realizes that he may be moving there sooner than he expected.

That is just crazy!!!

(Edit - referring to @Mik post. 555. But if true, @jon-nyc post is crazy too)

Wait a minute.

I thought this war ended on January 21st, 2025. That was 24 hours after President Trump was inaugurated. Did I miss something?

Good luck. Keep us updated!!!

Very cool picture!!

I wonder if someone sat down with him and asked him if

a) He admires President Reagan
b) why or why not, with specific details to back up his admiration or unadmiration.

So,

An old relative of mine told people at least three times that the Titanic was going to sink on its first voyage.
Then, security came and took him from the movie theater.

Definitely you have gotten the usage from that car!

To the moon (and on your way back!!!)

Shhhh!

President Trump said it was okay to vote for this.

I read somewhere that Comp Sci majors are decreasing in schools and those that graduate are having problems getting hired.
