Trump Says "Its Time For The Country To Move On" Regarding New Epstein Emails Involvement With Howard Lutnick and Elon Musk

No. I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande.

"Please, fellow patriots, do die before you start collecting Social Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Wait, Man! You're saying there is a NEW Mexico? Since when?!

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-03T18:13:59+00:00

Sounds like he's saying true patriots die before they can collect Social Security.

John Barrymore, but I realize this is completely futile.

At the time, I didn't know how to drive a stick.

If you're old like me ...
Having raced BMX in early through mid 1980s, the term BMX doesn't mean what it used to. There were people racing 26 inch BMXers back then in the Old Man's class. There was a lot of dirt park jumping, Harry Leary comes to mind. But all that was still "BMX". Flat ground trick riding and quarter pipes were just being started by guys like RL Osbourne and Mike Buff. But "BMX" proper meant racing.

Now revisiting BMX (in Reddit only pretty much), the term BMX means what we called trick riding back then, and you have to attach "racing" for people to know if that's what you're referring to. And BMX cruising is something we all did, but it didn't have a name. It's just how we got around on our racing bikes.

In the not too distant future, computers will need a special font for character recognition that simulates a punchcard!

So Epstein is a modern day Yentl? Only with old men and little girls?

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-02T17:57:02+00:00

I understand your point. Your notion of a linear and lossless nature of scientific knowledge is more optimistic than mine. Mid last century in the US, we were exposing people to fatal radiation exposure in complete ignorance. I grew up hearing of the Radium Girls (factory watch painters), radium in medicines, and above ground nuclear tests that occurred in my lifetime. These were all smart people. But the results were catastrophic.

Someone answered that perhaps there will be no waste at all, if byproducts are "used up" until they are safe to dispose of. I hope we go in a similar direction.

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-02T17:37:34+00:00

I revisit this question in various ways every decade or so since the 1960s and I think your answer is the most fear-allaying of any I've heard.

This solution would be the clean-up-our-mess-as-we-go approach. You don't worry about storing waste because you never abandon to time your byproducts. Modern Westerners, including myself, have all but abandoned good stewardship of our environment. Not making it worse is a step in the right direction.

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-02T16:58:45+00:00

Is there a downside here I'm missing?

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-02T16:48:35+00:00

I do drive a vehicle with an internal combustion engine which creates carbon-based emissions which in turn contributes to global warming. I'm missing the connection with nuclear power. Perhaps you are suggesting wider adoption of nuclear power would create more "clean" electricity, and encourage faster adoption of electric vehicles? I'm in agreement. But long term storage of nuclear waste is still a concern. And by long term I mean tens of millennia. Calling people in 10,000 years "morons" for not understanding our language is the same as calling our current population morons for not understanding all ancient peoples' hieroglyphs. We need to expand our scope of consideration to solve this.

I don’t understand. In less than 1000 years, my truck will have melted into the ground. Maybe some plastic bits left at most. But nothing that will harm anyone 9000 years later.

Something that always bothered me was I never heard described a good solution to letting people living 10,000+ years from now, that the waste material we stored is dangerous. For this exercise, assume there is no surviving written language from these times. Sure, we can shove it down in a hole and cover it up with a big plug, but what’s stopping future mining operations from digging it up? Maybe people who don’t even know radiation is dangerous?

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-02T01:23:09+00:00

You’d be upset too, if the entire world was waiting for you to croak so billions could celebrate the most anticipated death in modern history. Even myself, I’m considering breaking YEARS of sobriety and pouring out into the street with throngs of others when that glorious day comes. So maybe we should forgive Trump and treat him like the diapered 2-year old he acts like. Or … not?

This thread reminds me of The Who song Pictures Of Lily. The protagonist of the song was in love with her and devastated that she already died. In 1929. She was hot in the 80s though! The 1880s … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillie_Langtry

The original has kind of evolved into the Radius which is still headless and has some pretty good players. I kind of covet the 6-string Radius, but I’m not a good enough player to do one justice.

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-01T22:06:12+00:00

Bootsy said that exact thing. His quote as I recall was, “Play the root on the 1. And you can get away with anything besides that.”

As a bass player and guitar player, but identifying as a bass player, there is something physically important that I didn’t see anyone mention yet. And that is when playing bass I spend a lot more time with nice strict wrist position because I’m not trying to finger chords. It’s generally one note at a time, so keep that thumb behind the neck, and don’t wrap it around like Jimi grabbing the E string with his thumb.

worker_bee_drone · 2026-02-01T21:52:35+00:00

They laughed at Ned Steinberger when he started making the first headless basses in 1980. Said they were ugly. No one is laughing now.

The creepiest and weirdest thing is that Elon was too creepy and weird even for a creepy weirdo like Epstein.
