@TeslaBoomerMama When China invades Taiwan they will remain even more silent.

Your view on Nato allies not participating in the Strait of Hormus strategy?

@Rainmaker1973 Why is this not an Olympic sport, but Curling is? Asking for a friend.

Wood chopping competition in Australia

@Rainmaker1973 Absolutely 💯

Thoughts?

@DJSnM @ToughSf Yeah, the math didn't add for me

@ToughSf The question is how much energy does it take to refine that uranium into something that can be used in a reactor

There's ~3 micrograms of Uranium dissolved in 1L of seawater. It represents up to 240 kJ of fission energy if fully consumed. It only takes about 10 kJ to desalinate 1L of seawater. A desalination-reactor can fuel itself on seawater with very wide margins.

@pwafork @RyanMcbeth Finally, a place Greta Thunberg can call home!

Congratulations to Cuba on reaching net zero

@Cappyarmy @FinanceLancelot Lame, right

@FinanceLancelot Give me a tag if you like brother, that’s my video

@JackPosobiec Yes, but not my children

Were you taught this in school?

@nerdalert ...and beaten unconscious first.

My siblings and I have been dealing with a lot of health issues for my mom in the past few months. It’s been very hard, and out of respect for her privacy I’ll leave it at that. Then today we found someone who scammed her, took control of her computer and tried to get access to all of her accounts. By pure chance my sister caught it and avoided some catastrophe. People who prey on the elderly and infirm deserve a special place in hell.

@sahill_og @three_cube Well worthy of a Nobel prize

Linus Torvalds created Linux at 21 without Claude or any other AI. - He didn't have a co-founder. - No VC funding. No office. - No team. - Just a personal project he posted to a mailing list: "I'm doing a free OS." 33 years later, it runs 97% of the world's servers, all smartphones, and the International Space Station. The most important software in history started as someone's side project. Absolute legend.

Prof Damodaran is a brilliant educator!

@Ken_LoveTW @Corrine250618 And most recently lost to Vietnam

@Corrine250618 your great China was defeated by Japan in the most humiliating way possible, hence the Nanjing Massacre and the loss of Taiwan. Without the US help, your national language today would be Japanese.

Imagine believing that Japan — whose military is constitutionally restricted, dependent on U.S. support, and has lost every major war in the last century — will “humiliate” China in 2026. A Japan that has been in economic stagnation for 30 years. Whose technology and industry have been surpassed. Whose geopolitical relevance is shrinking by the day. A colonial pet who couldn’t survive in a competitive China, now hiding in Japan, making a living off slandering his own motherland. There is no difference between the mentalities of the two. The 21st century will not be China’s “century of humiliation.” That will be your century of humiliation — and your master’s.

@JenniferSey Why not give a metal to anyone that thought of showing up?

In a move reeking of participation-trophy culture run amok, the LA Marathon last week introduced a new rule: Any runner who made it past mile 18 of the 26.2-mile course, even if they didn’t cross the finish line, received a medal. Why draw the line at mile 18? Why not mile 10, or mile 1?

@DrBrianKeating @AswathDamodaran Excellent discussion.

@DrBrianKeating If you had a freind with a different odd/even plate, you swapped the plates to get around the quota...and you parked the car the night before at the gass station to be at or close to the front of the line.

The Millennial Mind Cannot Comprehend: it’s 1974: the OPEC oil embargo hits. I’m 3, sitting in a gas line that stretches for miles. The state enforces odd–even gas rationing based on license plates. Cars: no A/C, no touch screen navigation, just a worn out Triple-A map. No power windows or locks, no reclining, no rear seat belts. Airbags decades away. Gas had been ~38¢/gal in 1972 and jumped to ~55¢ in 1974 (≈$3–4 today). Self-service pumps weren’t allowed for fear of exceeding your quotas. Waits lasted hours. Siblings fighting like the caged animals we were. No phones, no streaming—just a cheesy AM radio DJ spinning Crocodile Rock pulled in by a rusty metal antenna accompanied by a ticking dashboard clock counting down the time till we get our few rationed gallons. Not in some Soviet exclave… In Westchester County NY!

@DrBrianKeating I remember it all!

@lippyent 😀

Just put a 😎 if you used one! Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@alphafox No, you just need the night janitor to take the hole with him.

Unhackable

@RickyDoggin He left office
