@rickjeff78 Today feels like April 23, 2026

Today feels exactly like Thursday, February 20th, 2020.

@Ravenismeee No, kids should be taught why they attract humbling circumstances in the first place.

Should kids be taught to hit back when a bully hits them first?!

@jacobmparis Right now all your charges are PENDING. You have to wait a couple days for them to post as official, then you can pay them off.

So I just got my first Amex, can anyone confirm whether it’s normal that they don’t allow me to pay off the card before it starts bearing interest?? Because if so I’m canceling this thing asap

@MercuriusFilius x + y = 2.50 (equation 1) x + 1 = y (equation 2) Solve for x x + x + 1 = 2.50 2x = 2.50 - 1 = 1.50 x = 0.75 Solve for y 0.75 + y = 2.50 y = 2.50 - 0.75 = 1.75 x costs $0.75 and y costs $1.75

How would you answer this common J.P. Morgan interview question?

@ProfStanciu Depending on body composition and athletic level you'll burn alot of muscle too

Hit the gym for 15 days straight. Every day, hop on the treadmill for 60 minutes of walking at 3.3-3.5 speed with a 15% incline. You’ll burn about 1 kg of fat. You can thank me later.

@AriaWestcott Keep in mind any data you provide to Claude or any AI is stored forever and can be used against your will many years from now.

🚨 I dropped a full year of bank statements into Claude Opus 4.6 and it sorted everything in 20 minutes. Income. Expenses. Categories. Recurring charges. The whole picture. That is roughly $11K in accounting work. Here is the exact prompt: ↓

@BalboaCap @CraigBrockie What do you ask for? A parasite test? Is that the name?

Nobody wants to talk about parasites. But reality is - If you've ever eaten sushi, traveled internationally, had a pet, or walked barefoot outside, You've been exposed. Symptoms most people never connect to parasites: 1.⁠ ⁠Grinding teeth at night 2.⁠ ⁠Sugar cravings that won't quit 3.⁠ ⁠Bloating after every meal 4.⁠ ⁠Skin issues that come and go 5.⁠ ⁠Anxiety that spikes around the full moon Even the “Big C.” I did my first parasite cleanse 30 years ago. Oregano oil. Black walnut hull. Wormwood. What came out of me was horrifying and life-changing. Your doctor won't test for them properly. But your gut knows they're there.

@MarioNawfal Just looks like an electrical power station or transformer going down. Our amygdala likes to assume the worst for survival purposes, but 95% of our perceptions and worries are nothing burgers.

More footage of the bright light in Iran as they get bombed Lots of specilation on what that could be It's not something I've seen before in this war. Very unusual

Textbook head and shoulders pattern on the Daily. Then perfect break down and retest on the 4-hour. #SPX

Positioned short on SPX for the near term. May be very choppy but overall bearish for the rest of 2026. #SPX

@maniaUFO Classic example of Pareidolia

Panic in Turkey Due to the Appearance of a DEMON FACE in the Sky During a Great Storm😬😬😬

@toobaffled I still stand by this. Posted April 26, 2020, during lockdowns in LA:

This Is Worth Enlarging, a good read .... 😎

@thomas_garrard They also take an extra 3-5% per year through money printing via inflation.

They take 35% of our income, and we still go to work every day, because the 65% they let us keep, keeps us in a constant struggle to pay bills. Hard to fight back if you’re homeless after missing a month of work.
