@Bernard said in Meet the coffee obsessives: I can't find the coffee pot on their website. It comes up on Amazon from Denby USA but out of stock. I wonder if it's discontinued? There seems to be a British version of Replacements LTD. https://www.chinasearch.co.uk/denby/baroque/

For a different view, here's another opinion from today's NYTimes. Free gift article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/opinion/elon-musk-donald-trump-government.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uk4.Ap9r.0u3o4KyWnUAA&smid=url-share

Nice egg! Like others who live in large cities and capitals, I was spoilt for the arts in London, even using the British Museum as a shortcut to work! Now we live in the N.E. and if you're ever over here I could show you a relatively unkown local museum which is a gem, full of interesting surprises; you can just about get round it in a day with lunch in the rather good cafe: https://thebowesmuseum.org.uk/

Weak. Very weak.

This is absolutely awful.

@Jodi Which reminds me, how is your back doing these days? Sounds like you’re feeling better?

That’s really great.

The word “Elimar,” presumed to be the man’s name, is scrawled in the lower righthand corner. Maybe "Elimar" is the artist's name!

Nice! Thanks for sharing this!

Link to video I forgot to mention the University of North Carolina connection. The evidence is voluminous and experts (and laymen) have known about it for a long time.

I never look at this thread. I need it now. Thanks.

These tech giants might well be in league with each other and have a sinister agenda--surveillance, propaganda, digital currency, social credit score, and the sort.

I have an explanation: Manuchurian Candidate 2025 - The President. Elon convinced Trump to get a Neuralink device and he's controlling him via a Starlink connection. The plan is working. As for the Koch Brothers: When some of the biggest donors to conservative causes made explicit their electoral opposition to a second Trump term way back in February of 2023, it came as something of a shock to the Republican orbit. After all, the powerful network organized under the auspices of billionaire industrialist Charles Koch had officially remained neutral in Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns, a sign of how uncomfortable his allies were with a candidate whose positions were so far afoul from their own on so many issues. But by the time the network gathered at the start of 2023, their position on Trump was not really a point of discussion. The deadly Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, was finally a step too far. The chief of the network’s main political arm, Americans For Prosperity, told her patrons that they were ready to back an alternative Republican who showed promise of winning. The group ultimately plowed more than $32 million into former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and another $10 million in broader anti-Trump efforts before throwing in the towel. The hopes of reclaiming the party from this gatecrasher were dashed and they had to live with Trump as their standard bearer. https://time.com/7018266/trump-republicans-koch-network-2024/
