@AncalagonsFlame @AveryDaye I think it's hilarious! And sad. But mostly hilarious!

@AveryDaye People that deny the moon landings are exhausting and I try not to debate them. It’s like arguing with a 3 year old.

You don’t believe we went to the moon? 🤨

@fem_mindset I only needed about 30 sec before realizing why she's bitter. This is not a good role model video to follow. Anyone part of an org doing what she described, seek a better org! Don't let this bitter mentality sink you, because it will if you allow it.

If you work hard but get overlooked every time, this may be the reason‼️💔

@effect_motion_x @SoveyX ヘイ！

@SoveyX こんにちは🇯🇵わたしは日本人です。

The Japanese when they get a new American follower.

@iris_seraphina I'm glad she qualified her statement with, "...that NASA has ever built."

I’m so glad the BBC sent her to be the reporter on this! She appreciated every moment of the #Artemis launch so much!! 🚀

@Srran888 lol "just"....

下次给小朋友就这么切橙子~

@TechOperator 💯 Low debt gives you real freedom. So much that you’re not beholden and can walk away if you need to.

If you own a home, work to pay it off. Not having a mortgage was one reason I could soft-retire two days ago. Pay off higher-interest loans first, but keep grinding on that house. Debt keeps you poor, working, or both.

Depending on where you are in your mortgage, you can effectively get much higher % gain on paying extra P, than just your interest rate. For example in a new mortgage where monthly interest payments are high, and monthly P pmts are relatively low, you can realize 100’s of % gain. Pay the next month’s P a month early, and you completely avoid ever paying that next month’s I. But it’s certainly not wrong to invest that money either.

@TechOperator My mortgage is 2.75%. My investments are earning significantly more than that. Outside of peace of mind, why would I pay it off early?

@RealJamesWoods Who’s Eric Swalwell?

Wow, Eric finally got something right. So let’s do the deep dive on dim sum diver, Eric Swalwell, and his honey trap girlfriend, Fang Fang. Thank you, Kash Patel.

@grok @LilaGraceRose Ok thanks

It's backwards. Colorado's law banned "conversion therapy"—talk therapy aimed at helping minors reduce gender dysphoria, align with biological sex, or ease unwanted same-sex attractions (if that's their goal). It explicitly allowed affirming transition and gender exploration. SCOTUS ruled 8-1 (Chiles v. Salazar) that this was viewpoint discrimination on speech, violating the First Amendment. Lower courts must now apply strict scrutiny. Result: providers can offer neutral talk therapy to help kids resolve confusion without state-favored outcomes.

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules 8–1 to reject a law banning talk therapy to help kids struggling with gender confusion. No child is transgender. Huge win for protecting children’s innocence.

@Neal1125786 @XFreeze They plan to launch 200 tons payload at a time, so don’t think that’s the main design criteria. Overall cost of mass to space is probably much higher on the list. Grok says it would be like 50-60 times the cost. Thats crazy.

@XFreeze Stainless steel is heavier this will need more fuel or thrust or both

Everyone thought the future was carbon fiber Elon Musk looked at the physics and chose stainless steel for Starship instead Sounds insane.... until you realize stainless gets stronger at cryogenic temperatures, handles reentry heat better, and costs massively less than advanced composites. It doesn't even need paint He chose a material that is faster to build, easier to weld, tougher in extreme conditions, and built for rapid iteration Classic Elon: ignore convention, trust first-principles engineering, and pick the solution everyone else missed He is taking science fiction and making it real. Building things that only existed in imagination, and pushing them to the absolute limits of physics

@mheeqey_money @XFreeze Steel beats CF for absolute strength, toughness, low cost, ductility, and scalability. In this application CF’s strength to weight ratio isn’t the most important design criteria.

honestly i still think elon made the wrong call going with stainless steel for starship instead of sticking with carbon fiber. everyone knows composites are lighter and way more advanced for rockets so this just feels like they hit a wall trying to scale it up and settled for heavy old school metal to save a few bucks and keep the timeline alive. real innovation wouldve been cracking the carbon fiber problems not backing down to basic steel. at this rate mars feels even farther away than before and the whole thing is starting to look more like a compromise than a breakthrough change my mind

@TheFigen_ Oh hello

Hello Today

@mechanical_4u Nope.

It looks like a spaceship. But it is 60 years old. This is the XB-70 Valkyrie. Built in the 1960s, it was designed to fly at Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and outrun a nuclear blast. It was so fast that the friction from the air heated the skin to over 600°F. To survive, the pilots wore pressurized space suits. But the craziest part was the wings. Once it hit supersonic speed, the wingtips would physically fold down 65 degrees. This allowed the plane to "ride" its own shockwave, like a surfer riding a wave. It used six massive jet engines aligned in a row. Only two were ever built. One crashed in a tragic accident, and the other sits in a museum. We haven't built anything like it since. Was this the peak of human engineering?

@kdallasAT @Tesla @TeslaClubAT You help make it awesome!

On this day 7 years ago I could never imagined how wonderful our @Tesla community is. Thank you all for making me part of this. 🫶

@TechOperator Oh you lucky guy

This week’s “Rate my wife’s Tesla Wall Connector cable coiling skills” example. What’s she trying to tell me?

Exactly

@ascetic_tweeter @DudespostingWs 🤣 think of the frunk space.

@SailcatsSW @DudespostingWs If you're not straight, sure.

This looks like a car from the future, but it was actually built in 1957. He explains it’s a Kellison J5 with a sleek, aerodynamic shell. Incredible design.

@joeroganhq He means births per mother, not %. Just a misstatement but he’s right.

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The amount of fertility you need to keep your population is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."
