The New Coffee Room

I enjoyed the time on the ferry while having some nice seafood, although I must admit the last time the quality wasn't super.

At first glance it looks intentional, perhaps it was. There are some good AI-enhanced (not joking) videos that play it in smoother motion. I saw an interview with the girl (who did the hitting) and she seemed genuinely sorry and that it was a fluke accident. I can kind of see that, the other girl does cut a little in front causing the girl behind to stumble and and throw her arm up to balance, but I think she exaggerated her arm movement a bit as she came back down resulting in the strike. So, 50% accident, 50% preventable. A key piece of evidence the news is missing (clearly I like to analyze videos) is after the girl is hit and stumbles off the track, the "hitting" girl does reach out as she runs by as if to say not sarcastically "sorry about that!" which lends credence to the accident argument.

It’s only the retail company that is having the difficulty. Actually the old company (originally Hudson Bay Oil and Gas) is still more or less around but under a different name, BP Canada Energy Group based out of Calgary. It is focussed on drilling and production offshore Newfoundland Labrador and brokering the sale of heavy oil and bitumen out Alberta and Saskatchewan into the US

Well? What did Trump have to say for himself? Oh, and was he mad at Trump or mad about something that he wanted Trump to fix?

Maybe he assumed they were too incompetent to ever figure it out no matter how obvious it was.

Crenshaw in particular is an absolute poser. Seal or not, that guy is a poser.

His employees — an interconnected web of bellboys, cleaners, waitstaff, supervisors — are in constant communication about guest movements to anticipate their needs or simply to greet them by name (“guest-name use is key”). “You are on permanent surveillance,” says Schneider, fixing me with his unwavering, ice-blue stare. “Whatever you say, whatever you do will be observed. And judged.” Sounds relaxing!

Jurassic Park gotta start somewhere.

The article could have been from 2025 or 1925. Congress is what it is.

@Jolly said in Shipbuilding "Tariff": @Axtremus said in Shipbuilding "Tariff": @Jolly said in Shipbuilding "Tariff": We have multiple problems... We don't have the specialized trades to build and maintain ships like we used to. … We don't have the shipping capacity to engage in effective trade or to use out maritime fleet to transport troops, beans or bullets. We don't have enough ABS, engineers or officers to staff a robust commercial fleet. How do you go from these problems to tariff as the answer? Same reason you might tariff steel or food imports...Strategic goals. A nebulous response at best.

So Canadians ARE shipping drugs into the US!

When I was a Reservist there was a meathead (military police) Master Warrant Officer who would drop by our section for coffee and routine gossip with our senior NCO’s. His civi street job, if you want call it that, was a prison guard at the maximum security prison block northwest of the city. He had zero sympathy for the inmates and maintained each and every last one would sooner slit one another’s throat than give them the time of day. He also said they loved to live in their filth out of choice. He also figured the gorilla cage at the Calgary Zoo was more a 1000 times more civilized than even the medium security bloc in the same institution he worked. He loved doing Reservist work because it offered a catharsis from his day job.

A lot of companies are starting to focus on glasses with cameras and basic computing (voice interface) Meta released a concept of regularish looking glasses that do a lot of things that smartphones currently do.

Dayum.
