@WallStreetApes They elected her. She is full of bad decisions. She also got rid of algebra in 8th grade. She may kill the jewel of downtown San Mateo with this. I don't know why they aren't happy with the equity of drug addicts in their neighborhood.

Residents in San Mateo County California voice outrage over a drug treatment center being approved for a residential neighborhood near an elementary school Democrat supervisor Noelia Corzo approved the funding despite huge pushback When confronted by residents, she just leaves… “Why did you approve this without knowing all the details? At one point, the supervisor walking away”

CMC's father was an NFL wide receiver who played for 13 years and won 3 Super Bowls. His mother played soccer for Stanford and her father won silver in the Olympics in the 100 meters. His youngest brother is a wide receiver for the Washington Commanders. He is very genetically gifted.

@Hybridathlete @Steve_Sailer Genetically gifted is Derrick Henry lol. CMC is just an average dude who works ten times harder than anyone else since he was 4.

This is what a 5’11’ ~200lb genetically-gifted-by-the-gods NFL running back looks like in street clothes. In other words, about the best or “biggest” most ~6’ guys can be naturally. Most of you are chasing a physique that simply doesn’t exist outside of heavy steroid/PED use.

Even the tech industry has some of these characteristics. First, a good percentage of smart, poor kids don't even conceive of going to Stanford and schools of that ilk that allow you to get funding so much more easily. Second, they don't have the mindset or knowledge to even start companies. Third, they don't even have the manners or attitudes that get you funding. It's the easy insouciance and arrogance of the powerful. You can read about JD Vance's culture shock at Yale Law School.

Also she isn't the only rich pop kid. Industry connections or wealth is often how they break in and get ahead. Examples: Taylor Swift, Kid Rock, even Prince. This applies to so many other industries. Doctor's kids become doctors. Many baseball players and skiers come from rich backgrounds. Those lessons, equipment, training, and trips are expensive. Mikaela Shiffrin's dad was an anesthesiologist. My wife's doctor's son was pursuing baseball. The minors don't pay much so either you slum it or you have rich parents who support you.

Lmao, I went to high school her. Anyone who went to Willard from 2012 to 2015 can tell you how insufferable, homophobic and RACIST she and her boyfriend were.

@vecnussy_xox @Ghost_RC_ @jt0hny Go fuck yourself. A 6 on a 1 to 10 scale is above average and thus by definition good looking. You’re so bothered by what I said about her that you just had to mention that you found his eyes droopy.

@CalvinLow5 @Ghost_RC_ @jt0hny I'm gay and they're both good looking. You're obsessed with thinking women look pretty only with makeup. And don't mention youth cause he's going to age worse, you can already see his eyes pointing down from this age. Can't believe I have to analyze shit like this. Fuck straights

POV: you finally thought you found your looksmatch… until she takes her makeup off

@DDrolapas Yes but the apartment building has probably generated more income in those 40 years.

A brother and sister inherited property 40 years ago in the Sunset district of San Francisco. The sister got a house and the brother got a 6 unit apartment building. Long story short, the house is worth more than the apartment building.

@ggreer @Cosmic_Andrew1 Probably but the overall design with grippers on each end with articulation is good. It walks itself around the ISS. I wonder how it is powered.

@CalvinLow5 @Cosmic_Andrew1 They’d probably design & build their own for much cheaper. Such hardware should cost about as much as an industrial robot arm.

So what does Canada do with their 1 billion dollar Candarm 3 now? CSA could sell it to CLD provider but will take a massive loss, not a whole lot of demand out there for a highly specialized space arm.

@Ghost_RC_ @jt0hny She's a 6 without makeup. She has youthfulness on her side. She's a 7 pretending to be an 8 with makeup. He's a 8.75 but women will rate him higher because he is white. The same exact features on different ethnicities would rate lower.

@jt0hny They are not looksmatched even when she's wearing makeup. But she's not that far off even without makeup. The brown eyes are throwing you off, otherwise he's an 8 and she's a 7 (she'd be 7.5 with blue eyes or something)

@MuseumCommodore Did this in middle school in the early 80s. You'd copy programs to draw regular polygons approaching a circle. The big program was programming an Oregon Trail game.

Yep! This would sound strange to anyone who got into computing from the year 2000 onward, but we really did spend hours and hours typing in BASIC code from computer magazines. In my case, it was on my Commodore 64. Who else did this?

@ReclaimD1 She seems like a nice person. She could have been more cruel.

Modern woman gives a story about one of the worst dates she’s ever been on. thoughts‼️👑

@domestic415 Yeah, that's the weird aspect. One would think that there would be a market for it but they really only have business 5 lunches a week.

Controversial opinion: there aren't that many decent lunch places downtown San Francisco where you would really want to go during your lunch break...

@end3of6days9 Whole Foods used to have orange juicing machines. Not as cheap as Tropicana but overall a good deal and fresh! So there is a middle ground. I have seen a juicer in France but it was expensive. You can get juice in many places in Asia for not that much.

This girl sees Tropicana on sale for $4.99 and thinks “I can beat that.” She grabs two bags of oranges for $4.98, pulls out the manual juicer, and starts sweet-talking the fruit like “please don’t let me down” 😂 Ends up with almost the exact same amount of juice… but way better taste. I’m sure fresh-squeezed OJ tastes better, but would you really go through all that trouble just to save a penny? 😭

@johnkonrad Travel, especially overseas travel, is a status symbol. Not being able to go is a loss of status. Many people can't stand losing status. BTW, private school for your kids is also a status symbol.

At my local liberal elite coffee shop a millennial woman is in tears because she can’t afford private school tuition. She’s on speakerphone so everyone hears. She qualifies for food stamps. She is an immigrant and a lesbian. Everyone is waiting for her to get off the phone to console her. OK. BUT… she just spent $3,000 on airline tickets for a vacation and booked $400 meal one of the nights. And summer camp for her kids while she goes. Every millennial I know is absolutely addicted to travel to foreign nations. WTF. They talk about it like it’s a human right. Why the F can’t she put her kids into her Subaru and drive them to Florida like a normal person? Or the thousands of great coastal vacation spots between Bar Harbor Maine and Key West. Why is nobody suggesting this to her? And it’s not just her. My millennial friends who have money are constantly jumping on planes overseas. Like if they go more than two months without travel they start freaking out. I’m generation x. I don’t get it. Someone please explain this to me in crayons. I mean I love traveling too but holy crap does it get expensive fast. Are these people all just in crazy debt?

@notalawyer9 @PeakThinkers_ You're an idiot. Solutions to partial differential equations are functions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_d…

@PeakThinkers_ Can we talk about the fact that anybody who understands trigonometry knows this is obviously a fake story? Saying the answer is “cosine” is like saying the answer is “addition” - it’s a function not a number. No way this guy understood physics at any serious level.

Jeff Bezos on the exact moment he realized he would never be a great physicist: "I wanted to be a theoretical physicist. I went to Princeton. I was a really good student, I got A-pluses on almost everything. I was in the honors physics track, which starts with 100 students and by quantum mechanics it's down to 30." Then came the homework problem: "I can't solve this partial differential equation. It's really, really hard. I've been studying with my roommate Joe, who was also really good at math. The two of us worked on this one problem for three hours and got nowhere." They decided to visit Yasantha, the smartest guy at Princeton: "He was Sri Lankan. In the Facebook, which was an actual paper book at that time, his name was three lines long. I guess in Sri Lanka when you do something good for the king, they give you an extra syllable on your name. The most humble, wonderful guy." Jeff continues: "We show him the problem. He stares at it for a while and says, 'Cosine.' I'm like, 'What do you mean?' He says, 'That's the answer.' I said, 'That's the answer?' He said, 'Yeah, let me show you.' He sits us down, writes out three pages of detailed algebra, everything crosses out, and the answer is cosine." Jeff asked if he solved it in his head: "He said, 'No, that would be impossible. Three years ago I solved a very similar problem and I was able to map this problem onto that one. Then it was immediately obvious the answer was cosine.'" Jeff reflects: "That was an important moment for me. Because that was the very moment I realized I was never going to be a great theoretical physicist."

@grok @craig_jasman @JohnBouras3230 @dnSabine @ericjackson @grok So are there any statistics for the last 6 years for elite and general tech migration?

Yes, elite programs (e.g. Waterloo SE) show 66-71% US-bound vs ~11% overall STEM (StatsCan tax non-filers proxy) or ~25% top unis—much higher. Elite historical: Sparse long-term surveys, but consistently high for 30+ years; no strong evidence of sharp recent rise beyond US salary/tech gaps. General tech US employment peak (~13% 80s-90s per LinkedIn trends) from dot-com boom, NAFTA TN visas, higher US pay, 90s Canadian recession. Decline to ~7% 2010s: Canadian recovery, domestic tech growth, US permanent migration down ~30% (StatsCan late 2000s-2010s).

71% of Waterloo's best engineers leave Canada (UWaterloo SE Class of 2022 graduate survey). And nobody riots. In any other country, a 71% talent export rate would be a national emergency. In Canada, it's Tuesday. The problem isn't the people who leave. They're rational. The US pays 2-3x more, taxes less, and builds things that matter. The problem is the people who stay and never ask why the system is designed to make leaving the rational choice. Canada doesn't have a brain drain problem. It has a demand problem. Nobody demands better. Not from the universities. Not from the employers. Not from the government. The best leave. The rest adjust. The cycle continues. Every country gets the talent retention rate it deserves.

@grok @craig_jasman @JohnBouras3230 @dnSabine @ericjackson @grok So the elite leave at a much higher rate than non elite? Do the elite leave at a higher rate than before? What cause the first increase in rates leaving then decrease for tech graduates in general?

Exact national stats on all Canadian engineering grads emigrating are limited (no comprehensive tracking). StatsCan 2025: ~11% of 2015-2020 Canadian STEM grads didn't file taxes in Canada 3 years post-grad (proxy for leaving/inactivity; 14-16% from top unis, higher in math/CS). Elite tech programs (e.g. Waterloo SE 2015-22 surveys): 66-71% leave, mostly to US. Overall STEM from top unis: ~25% abroad. Historically: Mid-1990s ~6% of engineering grads to US; 1990s-2000s outflows higher than today (permanent Canadian-born to US down ~30% since late 2000s to ~11k/yr). Broader LinkedIn data shows US employment for tech grads fell from ~13% (1980s-90s) to ~7% (2010s). Talent loss concentrated in high-pay tech fields.

@craig_jasman @JohnBouras3230 @dnSabine @ericjackson @grok @grok What percentage of engineering graduates that have been Educated in Canadian institutions leave Canada to work in other countries. How does this compare to; 10, 15, 20 years ago.
