Bad Economic Takes

@Chrishtuhfuh @CamrynEdwardss @stats_feed That’s not sweating

@BadEconomicTake @CamrynEdwardss @stats_feed read the second bullet point.

The average single male changes his sheets just four times a year.

@AtelierMissor_ Shouldn’t be an issue. Even if it was you could build in some conductors (copper tubes with water enclosed) to keep a uniform temp.

As a structural engineer, or as someone smart, how would you build a gigantic titanium statue designed to withstand a million years? It seems that the two main sources of metal fatigue would be wind and the daily thermal expansion caused by sunlight. The problem is that only the side of the statue facing the sun would heat up and expand, causing the entire structure to bend slightly throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky. Could the statue perform this strange daily dance hundreds of millions of times without eventually tearing itself apart? Would the best solution be an internal lattice tower supporting hundreds of independent titanium panels, with very narrow gaps between them, allowing every part of the outer surface to expand and contract freely without accumulating fatigue, century after century? The West has to win the competition for the tallest statue in history, and it has to be known in a million years! We have to find a way to build it! By the way, we are looking for a great structural engineer to join our team!

@MohitKasibhatla @PollTracker2024 He’s not at the Fed though?

@PollTracker2024 Called it!

@shadowstrophe @ShotYeen @cardamomkiss White drug dealers are part of the black class…

@ShotYeen @cardamomkiss So no, it’s class-based.

It's crazy that cash transfer apps in the U.S. are racialized for some reason

@Unixsystem13 @GreentextWizard @Turbofurby What tf are soldiers trained for other than shooting a full auto rifle?

@GreentextWizard @Turbofurby The idea afaik is that 90% of soldiers aren't given the training or discipline to not magdump in a stressful situation. Burst fire gives a suppressive option that you can't get with semiauto but prevents someone from burning through his entire ammo supply in 90 seconds.

I keep seeing this because "Haha French dumb" BUT IT MAKES SENSE BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG *CLICK* Two bangs mean I need to reload!

@branden203 @BillAckman A bit more fat old and tired than this dude

@BillAckman Please explain what someone looks like a day before a heart attack ?

@GiLgamesh111 @dontfallforem @PEWilliams_ Cut your legs off retard

@dontfallforem @PEWilliams_ My legs are so long that they are embedded into the seat infront of me, what am I supposed to do?

Airlines should simply remove the recline button. Our society is clearly not ethically mature enough to handle it.

@yeshuaisking_ @ryanhansen33 Making stupid comments like yours reveals something about you

@ryanhansen33 Calling someone “low IQ” invariably reveals something about the nature of the speaker’s cognitive shortcomings, not the subject’s

@PhotoshopMD @ctjlewis His mom was on the board. ie she was the CEO’s boss.

@ctjlewis His mom was friends with IBM's CEO.

His dad was one of the most successful lawyers in Seattle. Howard Schultz said: “Nobody knew Bill Gates, but everyone knew Bill Gates Sr.”

@Gothamist Just 3 black students got a good test score

Just 3 Black students admitted to NYC's elite Stuyvesant High School, data shows gothamist.com/news/just-3-bl…

@LincolnRestler @BrandondelPozo If you can’t pass a simple math and English test then you clearly are not qualified to attend these schools

@BrandondelPozo Im confused by your logic. Why is a single standardized test the only mechanism to evaluate ability? Surely an admissions process can be designed that ensures diverse and qualified students access our best schools? Indeed, Brown and every elite college does this…

1 in 5 NYC public school students are Black, but at Stuy - our most prestigious high school - 3 of ~800 incoming Freshmen are Black. We urgently need state legislation to modify the admissions process. A single test should never be only factor deciding who gets in & who doesn’t.

@LincolnRestler @BrandondelPozo The test isn’t racist. You are…

@DougMc1212 @Alex_Oloyede2 That’s not true. Moron.

@Alex_Oloyede2 Thanks for the updates. Even though Graham is a jerk who isn't very bright, Russia would need to wait until he left to hit that drone manufacturing facility. Russia knows very well that they can't kill Lyndsey Graham.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Yesterday, US senator, Lindsey Graham visited Ukraine to assure Zelensky support of the United States. The warmonger was shown a "secret" drone manufacturing facility in Kiev. Well, this facility no longer exists after strikes by the Russian MoD. Without warning, 6 missiles struck two manufacturing facilities in the Kiev region. The RuMoD confirmed strikes on drone sites which started a huge fire. None of Russia's ballistic missiles were shot down. Lindsey Graham is no longer in Ukraine.

@StacyisaGinger @DougMc1212 @Alex_Oloyede2 He and Zelensky are gay lovers?

@DougMc1212 @Alex_Oloyede2 I would bet Ukraine is responsible. Would he have had a handler? The place he was just at, gets blown to smithereens & hours later on US soil a woman NOT in his home calls 911 to reported his heart attack?? He had all of Zelenskyy’s secrets.

@alexanderao @TheItFactorMMA Seems like BS. I’ve lived in SF NYC and DC. Every single person is using iMessage as their daily driver. I don’t even check insta DMs.

@TheItFactorMMA Instagram. It’s the default for any type of communication (except for highly corporate types). In the coastal cities people will use “text me” to mean “DM me on insta”

In my experience, Snapchat usage is one of the biggest divides between coastal city America and the rest of America Snap is still EVERYWHERE in small towns (to the point where people open it just for the archives) whereas college-ed urbanites seem to have ditched it entirely

@TheItFactorMMA @sheesh1246 @alexanderao The fuck? Also you live in the south. Dude explicitly said coastal elites which is the opposite

@sheesh1246 @alexanderao Nah he’s right, I never rarely text anyone anymore. Its DM or a phone call.

@Chrishtuhfuh @CamrynEdwardss @stats_feed If you are already cold you are not going to be sweating according to that. Unless you are sick and running a fever you can’t be cold and sweaty.

@CamrynEdwardss @BadEconomicTake @stats_feed you sweat in your sleep.

@jdh @MediaKing If you segment there it’s quite good. 0.4x is not too bad if you are expecting a long time horizon

@BadEconomicTake @MediaKing It’s like .4 Weird measure here though because there’s no vintage structure I’ve deployed more of the capital in the last few years so weighs down a blended DPI Line is $in, green $out, you can see 1x+ on the money pre 22 Surprisingly biggest winner is 25%, next <5%

10 years ago, I wanted to become an "angel investor." Signed up for AngelList when syndicates first came out in 2014. Invested about $300K from 2014-2019 across 53 deals. Backed the best names and top syndicates on the platform. IRR: 7.8% 💀💀💀

@victimsofcomics England is substantially different than the U.S.

England are obsessed with football, have a strong youth system now, and a top tier domestic league. They haven’t won a modern World Cup. They haven’t been to a final for 60 years.

@Chrishtuhfuh @CamrynEdwardss @stats_feed Turn your temp to 65 and you won’t sweat you fat fuck.

@BadEconomicTake @CamrynEdwardss @stats_feed literally every human sweats in their sleep?
