Why is my coffee burr grinder grinding less and less, meaning I have to run it longer and longer to just to make 20 oz of coffee? I guess it needs maintenance but in the meantime, where are all the grounds going? I have to take off the bean holder and top grinder burr assembly and vacuum out the re...

Department of Government Efficiency on X: "Today, @NIH cancelled the following grants: - $620K for “an LGB+ inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys” - $699K for studying “cannabis use” among “sexual minority gender diverse individuals” - $740K for examining “social netw...

Sorry I haven't been checking in much lately. Work and upcoming school are pretty crazy.

About to start my shift. Hope you all have an awesome day.

Likewise to you. It's all going to be okay. :-)

Germany needs its own nukes. WW2 was a long time ago. If they, France, and UK had nukes, it would be more of a deterrent against Putin. Especially if they deploy tactical nukes in tiny, unconventional asymmetric-warfare type of vehicles... air or land or sea remotely piloted land vehicles, etc. 1) ...

Where are all the "for the little man" Ds on that list in the last paragraph above?

That’s the same Bio I read.

The Table of Contents was…… What do you personally plan to do after investing your time in reading 400+ pages of what appears to be a detailed description of 2 1/2 centuries of corruption by “other people”? In other words, is it going to add fuel to worrying about things you can’t control? Not tryi...

Why am I thinking of the term Helicopter Parent?

Watching Trump's spokeswoman. She just clarified that every illegal immigrant is an illegal criminal since they broke the law. Somewhat of a step back from the focus being first on the heinous criminals. The difference between campaign promises and actual governing. She IS a True Believer. Good cho...

I suppose, Dieter. I just think that if we compare every form of heavy-handedness to Nazis, then “nazi” loses all meaning. The only people more hyperbolic than Trump are his opponents. Who is more hyperbolic remains to be seen It's not even a contest. One can never be too hyperbolic if you are desc...

I’m waiting for the Department of External Revenue to MAGA.

The Weight is upon you.

Earlier this week President Trump issued an Executive Order changing the official name of the mountain back to Mount McKinley. Both Alaska senators voiced objection. Should a decision about the name of a mountain or monument in a given state be left up to the citizens of that state to decide? What ...

I am not overthinking. Proclaiming "Make America Great Again" is clearly saying that presently it is not and that there was this time period when it was. Why is no one able to define that time period? If anyone cannot then it's a typical empty political phrase just to appeal to the emotio...

MACA (Make America crappy again!) Is this better for you Vinny?

Thank you.

Can a presidential pardon be overturned by the Supreme Court?

OK I'm curious. What was "MAGA" or "far-right" about anything in my post? (I took care to keep political partisanship out of it, in fact.) Nothing far right to me. I just took MAGA as short hand for 'make America great again', at which your thoughts seemed to be aimed, at least ...

“If you want to know what God thinks of money, look at the people he gave it to.” —Dorothy Parker But seriously, I don't think money is evil per se. It gets corrupted by evil men who desire more than their fair share. Agreed. It's the love of money that is the problem, e.g. not being satisfied with...

Sophie for President! MAGA to the extreme.
