@crazyclips_ Fishing lures are designed to attract fishermen, not the fish.

Bro figured out a secret hack to test lures in the fishing store

@art_sleeps @StuffWorthSee Looks like the advantage would be the easy storage of the "sail" before the storm actually arrives.

@StuffWorthSee I wonder how far it would fly with a strong gust of wind?

@TheGuvnah_ @ns123abc SpaceX moved its incorporation from Delaware to Texas in February 2024

Structurally, this is the 2018 Tesla pay package remixed. Same playbook: 12 vesting tranches tied to market cap milestones, no downside for the CEO, massive upside if targets hit. That package was $56B. Delaware Chancery Court voided it twice (Jan + Dec 2024) for not being arm's-length. SpaceX is a Delaware entity too. "ALL-IN" is the wrong frame. Conditional shares are free optionality, he keeps the shares if it works, loses nothing if it doesn't. The $1.4B personal buy is the actual skin-in-the-game. The real signal isn't the $6.6T target. It's that the board is pegging CEO comp to space-based AI data centers. That's the thesis to scrutinize, not the number. Same founder. Different Chancery Court fight waiting.

SpaceX just gave its CEO the most ambitious incentive in history A draft of SpaceX's IPO prospectus reveals a new 60M-share award for Elon Musk, vesting in $500B market cap increments as the company scales What he must deliver: • Grow SpaceX to $6.6T market cap (~420% increase from current valuation) • Build space-based AI data centers • Scale toward 100 terawatts of AI compute per year Elon also personally bought $1.4B of SpaceX stock last year he's ALL-IN 🚀

@DaveNewellPhoto @TexasRepublic71 LNG is non-explosive and, in liquid form, non-flammable. LNG only burns when gasified and mixed with air at a rate of five to 15 percent gas to air. Since LNG as a liquid contains no oxygen, it cannot burn and, if it does catch fire, there is no chance of explosion.

@TexasRepublic71 Let’s hope it goes better than having the Grandcamp in port.

PORT ARTHUR TX— A milestone moment has arrived at Golden Pass LNG with the arrival of the LNG cargo ship AL QA'IYYAH. "Golden Pass looks forward to sending off our first export cargo, bringing Texas energy to power the world," said a spokesman for Golden Pass LNG.

@Dylpinizer @awkwardgoogle "D" size drawings and others don't fit in a typewriter. Think a sheet 24" x 36" for construction prints.

@awkwardgoogle So what are the benefits of using this instead of a typewriter for documents

Invented in 1937, Leroy lettering turned shaky handwriting into precision. Before computers, professionals used it to make documents clear

@Sajwani 90% of the oil normally coming through the straight of Hormuz is traveling.

Oil prices are sinking as if Strait of Hormuz is now fully open… where is the disconnect ?

@GJobbing41782 @newstart_2024 And the replacement industries did not have government subsidies to prop them up.

@newstart_2024 Those industries didn’t have the lobbyists that fossil fuels giants have. If they did, we’d still be using whale oil and anyone who disagreed would be getting shouted down as a crank by useful idiots.

“In 1903, the biggest industry in the world was whaling. It disappeared almost overnight.” Jimmy Carr dropped this on the Joe Rogan podcast and it made me rethink how fast entire economies can vanish. Whaling collapsed in about 18 months once petrochemicals replaced whale oil. The same thing happened with horse manure in New York City — the streets were literally covered in it, brownstones had steps to stay above the filth, and laws couldn’t fix it. Then Henry Ford’s cars arrived, and within a few years the horses (and the problem) were basically gone. Carr’s point: the resources and industries we treat as permanent today can disappear shockingly fast when something better comes along. What “essential” industry or resource of today do you think could vanish in the next 20 years?

@ZombieFarts68 @Rothmus The safety is located between the ears. She turned it off the moment she put her finger on the trigger of a loaded pistol.

@Rothmus Why was his safety off

It’s tragic because the department is less diverse now.

@anonykrysa @NiohBerg

@NiohBerg Finally! Now, please provide arms and ammo to Iranians too.

🔴 BREAKING: Both regime and non-regime media confirm that drone strikes have begun against street level IRGC and basiji units. Checkpoints and vehicles are being struck. Suppression forces are being killed in large numbers. A NEW PHASE HAS BEGUN

@TruckerNomad360 @ClownWorld Yep, I started cutting my own during covid crap. And I use the same clippers we bought to trim the show cows, just added a set of guards. No regrets.

That shit pisses me off! I get my hair basically buzz cut. It is cut with a #1 guard. It takes like five minutes and they charged me $28 at Hair Cuttery the last time I went. I said to hell with that shit! I will cut my own hair. They just started charging all men the same price and try to keep it in line with what women pay for a basic haircut, which is insane because a lot of men’s hair are easier to cut than women. With women’s hair you have to layer it all that stuff and it’s more work, so I can see why they charge more for them. But a barbershop by definition, is usually is just men and boys. So they shouldn’t be charging women’s prices at all.

@chamath This also needs to be applied to the trades.

We need to overhaul higher education in America as follows: 1) For those about to pay: No more federal underwriting of student loans. Let the free market differentiate schools, degrees and costs. Without this, more kids will get trapped for life in debt they can never pay back with a degree that is useless. 2) For those that have paid: reward them with a tax credit of 1x this amount to be used against their future earnings. 3) For those that can’t pay: establish an amortization schedule to discharge their debt and make it non recourse to the student as long as they fulfill a set of obligations that help America somehow (terms TBD but think Peace Corps, TFA like). Otherwise, I fear we are poisoning many young people around the pillars of traditional capitalism and democracy. They feel slighted, blighted and increasingly want redistribution and/or to burn it all down. We must avoid this at all costs.

@Sadie_NC I watched the original release of Star Wars in a Drive In.

I used a rotary phone. 🤣🤣

@Mikehomeseller +125°F, I used to live in Yemen. It is a dry heat, just like you find inside the oven.

What is the hottest temperature you have been exposed to outdoors? When I was a kid it was 117 in Yuma,AZ . I don’t care if it was a dry heat, that was blazing hot #mikesquestions

@OliLondonTV What is her thought on closing the border and enforcing immigration? Does she she the disconnect?

Calls grow for Billie Eilish to return the land her mansion is on after she said America is “stolen land” at the Grammys. The singer has been urged to give the ‘stolen land’ back at her $14 million mansion to the Tongva tribe.

@NativeTexan_17 Join a church with voting rights at their meetings? We want to understand if you are for us or against us.

@NativeTexan_17 Attend a church? Just walk in and set down.

I was gonna try a new church tomorrow but APPARENTLY you have to take a welcome seminar first. Yeah… that’s a no from me.

@thefactitorium @Rainmaker1973 Never go hiking in bear country with someone who carries a 22LR for protection from the bear. Also applies to fishing in an Alaska Salmon stream....

@Rainmaker1973 The acceleration is the real nightmare. It hits 40 mph like a drag racer. It validates the dark "Unit Economics" of survival: You don't need to be faster than the bear. You just need to be faster than the slowest variable in your hiking group.

A bear can reach 40 mph, faster than a sports car; running can be fatal. [📹 tom.maley]

@FarmGirlCarrie Sometimes it involved a tent in the woods and we went home the following day. We hunted for food we would eat.

Was this you?
