@nickkokonas Sure but literally no one is talking about the dozen people in the country for whom this hypothetical matches when vilifying the wealthy.

And now an example:
A person studies hard, takes on student loan debt, and becomes a doctor -- let's say a dentist or dermatologist. Reliably they are mid-six-figures earners in big cities. They are doing well!
But our example is entrepreneurial as well !! /1

@AndToddsaid We rarely went out to eat. Our parents made us go outside and entertain ourselves for hours. I’m not blaming people today for it, but technology has led a level of entitlement here that is really dysfunctional. 2/2
English
@AndToddsaid This is pure entitlement. I think the ease of life today (internet, cell phones, etc) has raised expectations to a degree that we would have found crazy even 30-40 yrs ago. I mean, we had like 3 TV channels on my mom’s farm. 1/

I suppose I'll be accused of being a leftist for saying this, but working professionals shouldn’t have to brown‑bag it to succeed in a modern society. I don't mean that in the “everyone deserves a pony” sense. I mean it in the “my car doesn’t sound right” sense.

A little-known hack: 2 slices of Aldi wheat bread: $0.17 3 oz of Aldi deli turkey: $0.86 1 slices Aldi cheddar: $0.15 1 condiment of your choice: $0.02 1 apple: $0.53 1 hard boiled egg: $0.14 5 carrot sticks: $0.17 Cold water from the tap: $0.01 Total: $2.05 You can do this.

@pawspatroll Bc it’s breathable therefore it allows the sweat smell to escape the fabric

If you’re gonna work out in cotton, please DO NOT come to my gym

Leggings had their turn. We are so back. Workout wear / inspo for the girls. Keep it loose keep it cotton keep it cool.

@nashvegas__ At this point, much of human running performance improvements is largely due to technology and (some due to) performance enhancing drugs.
English
Ever wonder why humans continue to run faster and faster but horses don’t ?

The winning time for Golden Tempo in today’s Kentucky Derby was 2:02.27. Secretariat’s winning time in 1973 was 1:59.4. That’s a difference of 2.87 seconds. That translates to Secretariat beating Golden Tempo by over 17 lengths. Big Red’s record stands after 53 years. Legendary.

@realEstateTrent Your tweet is reasonable. Your friend is a goofball for thinking AI is a good way for him to set his rent.

@ericj076 I ate two burgers and a coffee for $18.
That is expensive.
English
I have essentially stopped eating at all fast food places.
They have entirely surpassed my willingness to pay: I will simply not buy a $20 Big Mac meal.

I just had a regular footlong at Subway. No drink, or meal. Just the sandwich. It was $18.

@johnarnold It says that those experiencing mechanical catching have a more predictable result, which was she case for mine. Perhaps the surgery is just recommended for a wider range of ppl with knee pain than is optimal.
English
Many years ago I hurt my knee playing sports. I was referred to the orthopedist for one of the local pro teams. After keeping me waiting for 2.5 hours, he diagnosed a cartilage tear and recommended surgery. I was so mad at his manner and tardiness I left without scheduling.
The next week I got a second opinion from a much younger doc who was likely more current on the recent medical literature. He looked at the same MRI. He said he could do surgery now but his advice was to wait 30 days and see if it healed on its own. It did.
Medical reversal is when a practice that became widely used is later shown to be ineffective or even harmful. Examples like meniscus surgery show the need to keep gathering evidence. A not immaterial part of the practice of modern medicine doesn't improve health, and may be net harmful.
English
@kurt13warner Lots of random options on what worked for others. 1) See a doc to rule out arthritis, meniscus injury, etc. 2) Get evaluated for strength/mobility. Anyone that guarantees they can fix you is dishonest.
English
Need some help! I’m in the best shape of my life… I’m as lean as I’ve ever been… but I have some inflammation around my knees that’s driving me crazy & no matter what I’ve tried: diet, vitamins/supplements or exercise, I can’t shake it!
Any experts out there that have some ideas to help???

I cannot stress enough how much these will destroy the ankles of guys with too much money who run precisely once a week

TWO men broke the 2-hour barrier for the marathon today in London. Both were wearing a super-light, 3.4-ounce shoe that has yet to be released. Adidas' head of running told me how they made it: wsj.com/sports/super-s…
English
@ATabarrok @SuperRareKeegan No, paid claims are an expense. It’s like saying McDonald’s makes money paying for hamburger meat.
English
@SuperRareKeegan McDonald's makes money by selling hamburgers. Health insurance companies make money by selling claims paid out. We need competition, good info etc. But it would be wrong to begin an analysis of McDonald's by arguing that they make money by making their burgers smaller.
English
Few people understand: Health insurance companies make most of their profit by paying claims, not by denying them.

@FrailSkeleton How do you know you were wrong? Did you see the books?

My neighbor is a marketing master. When she opened a “custom stationery store that also showcases local art” in a high rent area (with a big opening party with free food& drinks that I attended), I assumed it was a money losing hobby job for a bored wife. I was wrong

@1m_chart @natolisnuggets @danielcberk There’s a world of difference between 2:30 and 2:45. There’s also a big difference between training at 6:15/mi and actually running a 2:45.
English
@natolisnuggets @danielcberk I was training at 2:45-2:50 pace at 147 running about 15mpw, I think 2:30 is doable for someone who has an athletic history
English
If I trained every single day from birth until peak physique in my mid 20s and had millions of dollars for the best coaches, nutritionists, gear, and facilities, I would *maybe* be able to run a marathon in 2:30.
I literally can’t comprehend running this fast for this long.

You’re telling me a guy Ran a 1:59:41 marathon On his debut with the marathon distance And finishes second
English
@Malinformed__ @TonySeruga I’m curious. In what way could a cop could “start the problem” that would then justify the guy chasing him around with a knife?
English
I oppose many many police shootings. Without knowing how this event was instigated, cops have no obligation to allow themselves to be stabbed.
If the cop started the violence. It's a bad shoot. If he didn't, it is a good shoot.
But cops very often (if not most cases) start the problem.
English
Mocking armchair critics who have probably never touched a gun, let alone faced a crazed demon, asking “Why not tase him / shoot him in the leg / talk to him?” or some similar nonsense.
FACT: He was tased and shot multiple times.

@PinkyWebster @TheCinesthetic Agreed. That movie was freaky and the book was even scarier.
English
@ericj076 @TheCinesthetic Gotcha. It's been almost 40 years since I've seen it. And I only watched once. But I vividly recall being afraid for my ankles afterwards. LMAO

The horror scene that still lives rent free in your head.

More than 40% of deals we worked on last year had fake EBITDA.
Not "messy books." Fake numbers designed to make you overpay.
Nearly half. Most buyers would've closed without catching it if they skipped a QoE.
You're not betting on a stock. You're betting your family's future.

@PinkyWebster @TheCinesthetic IIRC, he sliced the old man’s Achilles tendon from under the bed. When she got home, he came to her with the scalpel and killed her.

@TheCinesthetic Baby Gage from Pet Sematary coming back from the dead, hiding under the bed and slicing his momma's ankles. Afterwards, I used to run and jump in the bed from 3 feet away. I did that for weeks.

@gotrice2024 Your body regulates the salt content of your blood very tightly. Too much salt intake and you’ll just have saltier sweat. No big deal.
English
This woman may be overdoing it with the electrolytes and high sodium intake. Whenever she goes running, she notices being covered in salt.
It’s more noticeable when she’s wearing a black outfit like this, you can see a white residue all over her clothes and her face and body.
Is it possible she’s drinking too much electrolytes, have you ever heard of anyone beings salty sweater?

This woman was enjoying herself at a pickle festival in her city. She tried, pickle lemonade, pickle pizza, fried pickles. Anything that had pickles in it, she ate it. After she got home, she was trying out her pickle souvenirs, when she noticed she started getting puffy, her eyes swelled shut. She’s never been allergic to any food before yet she feels like she’s having a reaction. She ended up in the ER after she couldn’t calm down and her swelling got worst. Do you feel it’s possible to develop an allergy to a food you’ve been eating your whole life, or could this be something else like a sodium overload or sodium overdose?
