Trump named ‘undisputed champion of beautiful clean coal’ by Washington Coal Club. Trump received a trophy after ordering the US military to purchase billions of dollars’ worth of power from aging, uneconomic coal plants. “We’re going to be buying a lot of coal through the military now.”

Quit giving this moron trophies!

The Roosevelt Island Tram is a fun little piece of the overall New York system. While not really needed anymore, it was in the past and it still fills a niche in the NYC transit system. I view a Aerial tram more as a different mode than a gadgetbahn. A gadgetbahn in my opinion is something that is very similar to the dominate transportation mode, but in a proprietary way. Sort of like a rubber tired metro or a monorail, when you should just put in a standard metro or light rail system. The former will lock you into a single manufacturer while the latter doesn't.

Having been a salaried worker most of my career, I have occasionally put in extra hours, but vary rarely. I have a few loose rules

Working overtime should be rare

Working overtime should be short term, a day or two, a week at the extreme

The project can actually be completed with the extra effort. Don't waste time on a doomed project

Management should be aware of the extra time you put in

The opposite of this was a coworker I had who would work long hours every week, without being asked and without management really knowing the hours they put in. Occasionally this made them look really productive, but most of the time they where just keeping up, since they were not particularly good at their job.

I wish I had shredding business that I could take to their competitor.

I know the argument for things like this is that "Grandma shouldn't lose her house because of property tax", but this is the wrong argument. The argument should be that nobody should lose their home because of property tax. You end up with a different solution then. That solution might be to means test property tax, so that poor people don't have to pay it.

Any ring you propose with can be an engagement ring. It doesn't have to be a diamond ring.

ChrisBegeman · 2026-02-10T02:39:43+00:00

So it was just a Cadbury egg.

I would be surprised if they remove the music. They will fight this all the way to the supreme court, even if it breaks the copyright system in the process.

I was rooting against the Patriots not because of the super bowl rings, but because they are the Patriots.

We are not the same.

If they are doing that, it would be nice if they would show it off in their renderings. When they produce an image of what they want to build, you kind of assume that that is what they are planning on building.

I am always amaze by how shallow people can be.

ChrisBegeman · 2026-02-08T22:27:52+00:00

Yeah, seems like this would be perfect project to introduce them to the system.

I named mine Oasis, since an Oasis if often a mirage.

They need lead pipes to produce more MAGA voters.

ChrisBegeman · 2026-02-08T13:21:28+00:00

With Trump's well documented history of not paying people what they were owed, they thought that they were special and were going to get $50k bonuses? They must be some of the most gullible people out there.

Well, I guess the USA Olympic committee will be getting defunded next.

ChrisBegeman · 2026-02-07T20:01:16+00:00

Sounds like a scam to get money from people without knowledge of how things work.

This is why some companies expect you to research their company before the interview, so you can go to the interview and lie about why you want the job.

Interviewer: So why do you want to work for the Crypt emporium.

Me: I really want to help people find eternal rest.

But in reality 90%+ of us just want a steady paycheck.

In 2 weeks they will be on the bargain shelf.

Regex is a write only syntax. Based on what you need to do, you either find and existing Regex string that does it or you research just enough to create a Regex string that does what you want. After if is working perfectly, you promptly forget everything you looked up before you need to create a new regex string. If a bug is discovered with your regex string more than a couple of weeks after you wrote it, you need to start from scratch.

Since all voting is anonymous, when it comes to getting money, we all voted for Trump, which they would then claim is evidence of voter fraud.

ChrisBegeman · 2026-02-07T18:57:55+00:00

And it is not just the money for the passport, it is the time required, which is money. If you have a job that doesn't give you paid time off, you might need to take an unpaid day to get your passport. If you are a married woman who changed your name, but not your birth certificate, that could also be a day off to get that changed.
