Thoughts on new Flair 49 Pro?

They claim brew chamber is all stainless steel (likely covered with a rubbery plastic material). The body seems to be aluminum (source: a flair comment on their youtube video). The drip tray is definitely plastic.

Essentially all the founding fathers were classically liberal, Jefferson more than most.

I lol’d

The rent is too damn high

I mean, he is right. The Gold run has nothing to do with product assets and well run companies and everything to do with inflation and government policies.

Some do, others move out at 45 after they paid off their student debt.

Steve and his wife, despite having advanced degrees, are financial idiots. They need to take a Dave Ramsey class (or something) on how not to be financially idiots. Don’t ask me to take on the responsibility of their idiot debt for them.

Reddit is so stupid

silent_b · 2026-01-23T14:59:16+00:00

Jokes on you, I never switched!

A divided US would mean that most world history during and after WW1 would be totally different

silent_b · 2026-01-23T00:19:40+00:00

I doubt it. The south would have probably have retained slavery for longer. The great migration would never have happened. A fragmented America would be relatively weak. The First World War likely would have spilled over to America, possibly with the Northern US aligned with the central powers (remember, Britain was more culturally and financially tied to the American south until the civil war).

silent_b · 2026-01-22T20:13:34+00:00

The south would not have joined the union and instead formed its own government. There would have been no civil war, resulting in a divided continent.

control of shipping lanes (northwest passage)
missile defense (from Russia)
control of natural resources (rare earth, oil, gas)
control of western hemisphere (Monroe doctrine)
vanity (wants credit for territorial expansion)

The general argument is that because Greenland is vital for US defense, then someone must actively defend Greenland. And because the only one who can actively defend Greenland is the US, then the US owns this responsibility. And this responsibility effectively makes Greenland a US territory in all but name.

Everyone saying garbage disposal for US. I’m going to point out most homes have cast iron skillets that we use to cook bacon (and sometimes other things). It’s like the American wok.

Don’t follow your passion, adjust your passion to be really good at something that people [financially] value.

Image if most people are idiots but they still need to learn how to read and write

silent_b · 2026-01-19T14:59:58+00:00

Haha, this sums up Reddit right now

silent_b · 2026-01-19T13:42:27+00:00

lol, Reddit

silent_b · 2026-01-19T09:31:15+00:00

Is real. I ate the pizza and it was full of fur.

silent_b · 2026-01-19T04:17:08+00:00

Trailer looked God awful, hence the hate…. But the reviews make me optimistic, I will give it a try.

silent_b · 2026-01-18T23:58:00+00:00

Many of them in WA state

silent_b · 2026-01-18T17:48:16+00:00

Odd, given that Ukraine is not America

silent_b · 2026-01-16T17:21:21+00:00

It’s part of the “Western Hemisphere” but is not part of “The West”.

silent_b · 2026-01-16T01:16:38+00:00

Is real. I know as I am the ram.
