@CoachDanGo I have exactly this but for dessert every evening after dinner
Add a square or two of dark chocolate for some crunch 😋

I eat this breakfast every day.
I call it Lean Body Glop and it looks like slop but it tastes delicious.
Recipe:

- One scoop weigh protein powder
- Teaspoon psyllium husk
- 100g frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, mangoes work best)
Around 350 calories, 40-50 protein, 10g fiber.
Eat this for breakfast every day.

@Cobratate What happened to being in Dubai to support the leadership?

So much of this game is just trying your best not to learn the same lesson over and over again.
The most recent re-learned lesson for me… common sense is nearly always a better foundation for a trade than expert wisdom if you think there’s a large inflection or regime shift underway.
A little more than a week ago, I called up a friend of mine that understands energy far better than I do and said something like “seems like the no brainer play here is to be long Brent and short WTI”. This seemed like common sense, after all it’s not like there’s a war in the continental US and if the government was willing to sell futures they’d probably be open to using regulation to increase domestic supply. Right? But I had it explained to me a laundry list of reasons why that wouldn’t work. That was when the K6 spread was at about $6.
A week later, the spread is almost $12 and I didn’t put it on because I figured my tourist understanding of oil meant it wouldn’t work.
This is nothing against the wisdom of experts, but in markets - sometimes - it pays to be an idiot tourist basing your views on a common sense thesis. Especially at inflection points…Like the blind men and the elephants, it’s possible to be too close up to something and miss the very straightforward big picture.
It was true with natural gas and ags in early 2022, it was true with semis in 2023…it’ll probably keep being true whenever there’s a big phase shift happening.

Hey everyone — we’re aware of the large swap transaction circulating on X.
Based on what we’ve seen so far, there’s no indication of a protocol exploit or otherwise malicious behavior. The transaction executed according to the parameters of the signed order.
Our interface shows clear price impact warnings for swaps of this magnitude, as does Aave’s. We’re continuing to review the details and will share updates as we learn more.
English
@StaniKulechov There is absolutely no scenario where someone wants to evaporate $50 million
This is a failure at protocol level
English
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.
Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.
The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.
The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.
Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.
We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.
The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

Why I’m holding off on retatrutide (Reta) and sticking with tirzepatide.
I get this question constantly.
Here’s my reasoning.
A lot of people running Reta report:
• elevated resting heart rate
• lower HRV
• worse sleep
Why?
Because Reta activates the glucagon receptor, which increases metabolic rate ~5–10%.
Sounds great in theory… but I don’t need a drug to push my metabolism up.
I’ll do that with:
• steps
• lifting heavy
What I want from a peptide is satiety support, not metabolic stimulation.
That’s where Tirzepatide shines.
It works through GLP-1 + GIP, which:
• reduce appetite
• improve metabolic health
• have much more safety data.
Retatrutide adds chronic glucagon receptor activation.
That pathway is much newer pharmacologically.
We simply don’t know yet what happens with long-term stimulation.
Potential concerns people are already discussing:
• higher resting HR
• lower HRV
• sleep disruption
• possible receptor desensitization
Maybe it’s fine long term.
But we don’t know yet.
I just see no reason to push that pathway.
Tirzep = fewer moving parts.
Less stimulation.
More predictable.
Easier to come off.
Sometimes the smartest move is the more conservative one.
So for now…
Tirzepatide > Retatrutide.

@bryan_johnson If you actually cared about "don't die" and you know for a fact that phones/social media are bad for longevity, why are you ever on it?

@GergelyOrosz IMO @nikitabier @elonmusk should extend this rule to all fake news, not just related to the war
Any provable fake news = community note and creator payout suspension for 3 months. It’d stop within a week
Should be easier to govern at scale with @grok

Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program. During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today’s AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people. Starting now, users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict—without adding a disclosure that it was made with AI—will be suspended from Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in a permanent suspension from the program. This will be flagged to us by any post with a Community Note or if the content contains meta data (or other signals) from generative AI tools. We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments.

I hate this site
The below blue checked account makes up completely fake stuff - that never happened - and it gets 2M+ views. No it didn't happen
People treat as fact, thanks to having a $8/month blue check

Not knowing how to code giving you an advantage is absolute nonsense.
The more you understand, the better your prompts, the better the feedback you give, the better product you ship.
What will change is that the intricacies of syntax, compilers, module systems, the finer details of type systems, won’t matter as much to everyone.
But you should absolutely understand how the pieces fit together. From syscall to pixels. Learn how data flows, because you’ll be able to secure your systems. Learn about performance, because you’ll be able to push your agent further. Learn about APIs, because they determine how to integrate systems. Learn about how systems fail, because you’ll be able to make reliable programs.

@jonthensuddenly @stackhodler That's irrelevant to getting assets out of a country which was stack's point in the OP
And Dubai doesn't have capital gains

@WillToMake @stackhodler In terms of purchasing power, how has USDt performed against the dollar over the last decade?
How much did you pay to in capital gains to sell your assets into USDt to gain that portability?

You can't flee a war zone with gold, so you're forced to sell at a discount (if you're lucky enough to find a buyer)
Then figure out how to get that fiat abroad
Meanwhile you can cross a border with millions worth of Bitcoin in your head by memorizing 12 words
Bitcoin price aside, that is a true innovation

Gold Stuck in Dubai Is Being Sold at a Discount as War Widens Gold is being offered at a steep discount in Dubai, as the war in the Middle East grounds flights and hampers suppliers’ ability to move bullion out of the key trading hub. Many buyers have stepped back from new orders, unwilling to pay exceptionally high shipping and insurance costs with no guarantee of prompt delivery. As a result, rather than paying indefinitely for storage and funding, traders are offering discounts of as much as $30 an ounce to the global benchmark in London, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named discussing market information. Many shipments remained stranded on Friday, the people said, although some bullion had been loaded onto flights leaving Dubai from the middle of this week. (Bloomberg)
