@yourdailybirds @libsoftiktok When you put properties of the person above ability, which is the only way to artificially raise the percentage of people with a given property, then your average skill level goes down.

🚨NEW: Florida mother whose son died in an e-motorcycle crash is now pushing lawmakers to fully ban e-bikes and e-scooters for children under 14 Colton Remsburg, 13, was riding his e-bike when he was struck and killed by a pickup truck. He was not wearing a helmet and was not in a marked crosswalk Colton’s mother, Ashley LaChance, is now urging lawmakers to ban these e-bikes/e-motorcycles for kids under 14 Since December 1, there have been 41 crashes involving e-bikes and scooters in Orange County that resulted in injuries The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is finalizing a new e-bike ordinance that would allow deputies to issue citations and even impound them for repeated violations

Do you think more monthly liabilities makes it easier to afford a house?

@davepl1968 @navyhato This is such a bullshit argument I dont know why people still try and make it. It's not someones cell phone or laptop that is making them unable to afford a house. This is retard level thinking.

Previous generations could have this with ease. Why is this so much to ask?

Your internet/cable/ cell phone probably runs $300-500 a MONTH. You can excuse it away however you like as to why you think you need it, but that's the point, those liabilities weren't those people buying houses in the 50s thru 90s. Guarantee if you're not doing a monthly budget, you really don't know what you're paying for all your subscriptions.

Yes... The $600 a year in subscription fees is what's stopping someone from paying for a house. In 10 years. They have a $6000 down payment! Regardless, the only "subscription" I pay for is the internet, and it's because that's the only way to work in my field, or for others to apply for jobs or to really do anything nowadays including argue over X.

@KittraKittra @CrisisFront @aakashgupta Just like the aquaducts, all the shit settled to the bottom....

@CrisisFront @aakashgupta Just sayin....

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video. Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments. The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times. Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it. Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

@CrisisFront @aakashgupta Should we not marvel at the Great Pyramids because they were built by slaves?

@aakashgupta They had the luxury of double the water because half their population was enslaved and doing the actual work. It is easy to look like engineering geniuses when you have unlimited forced labor to build it.

@ScienceFocusonX Downside: every time you get pulled over, you get busted for DUI.

Reading glasses might be done. The FDA just approved a once-daily eye drop called VIZZ that sharpens near vision in about 30 minutes and keeps it sharp for up to 10 hours. One drop. Each eye. Per day. That's it. The active ingredient is aceclidine, a compound first used back in 1975 to treat glaucoma. Scientists figured out it could be repurposed to gently shrink the pupil, creating a "pinhole effect" that pulls close-up text back into focus, the same trick your eye does when you squint. Unlike Vuity, the 2021 drop that came before it, VIZZ doesn't mess with your focusing muscles. So no blurry distance vision. No brow ache. No weird zoom effect. It was tested across more than 30,000 treatment days with no major complications. Cost is roughly $2 a day. This matters because presbyopia, the age-related slide that hits most people between 40 and 45, already affects more than 120 million Americans. By 2030, the World Health Organization expects around 2 billion people worldwide to have it. LENZ Therapeutics, the maker, started rolling out samples in October. The squint era is ending.

@Gfunk0000 @ScienceFocusonX At least I won't see it coming.

@ScienceFocusonX Side effects are blindness and explosive diarrhea.

Even if they have "gone down", they were $0 in terms of the question in the post. In 1970 you had $0 cable, $0 cell phones, $0 netflix, and $0 any other subscription service, save for a couple of magazine subscriptions. Go add up all your subscriptions. Tell me how much that is / month.

@davepl1968 @navyhato Lol why include electronics in your list at all? You do realize electronics are the only "toys" that prices have gone down on. It's in your profession to even know this.

@ja1743752973 @vandal_muldoon @PGA Colin would probably call the guy out on rolling the ball out of a divot.

@vandal_muldoon @PGA How was your round with him? I’m sure he has great stories…

At 100 years old, WWII veteran Bernie Smoot still drives his convertible Ford Mustang to play golf five days a week, shoots in the low 80s and shares wisdom from 74 years in the game: “You live to play golf. But to reach my age, you play golf to live.” To celebrate Bernie — who landed at Omaha Beach just months after graduating high school — his PGA Coach and friend Jeff Maynor organized a tournament in his honor at the University of Maryland Golf Course, where Bernie plays five days a week. Maynor, the course’s PGA Director of Golf, has run a @PGAHOPE program there for Veterans since 2019, which Bernie loves to support. The tournament for Bernie was a chance for those Veterans to thank him and celebrate his love for the game.

@vandal_muldoon @PGA For all you know he's teeing off from the 150 yd marker. Who cares?

@PGA I mean, it's a great story, but that guy isn't shooting in the low 80s. Why lie?

@NiallHarbison Cut his nail. Wtf

Jimbo is up and about. He is still quite poorly but I convinced him a little 200 yard walk would do him good. He is winning his battle now… (1/5) 🧵

@drinkonsaturday Hate to break it to you, but Ai can do that too.

Here's what AI can't replace or take away: working with your hands, putting in real sweat equity, and being deeply involved in fostering tangible change and stronger communities. If the tools of your trade are chisels, hammers, lathes, welders, and sharp edges—rather than silicon, keyboards, and glowing screens—more power to you. You're building something solid in a world that's increasingly virtual and fragile. Your calluses tell stories algorithms never will. The furniture, homes, sculptures, engines, and restorations you create carry a soul that no neural net can replicate. These masterpieces aren't just objects; they're anchors. Timeless proof of human ingenuity, discipline, and pride. In an uncertain future of automation and abstraction, the things built by hand will stand longest. They age with character. They outlast trends. They remind us what it means to truly make. Keep swinging that hammer. The world still needs builders. More than ever it seems.

@visegrad24 Why is his identity blacked out?

🇩🇪 A 20-year-old illegal Afghan migrant sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl and threatened her with a knife at a special needs school in Germany. Nassar S., a 20-year-old unemployed Afghan migrant, has been arrested after brutally assaulting an 11-year-old girl at the Hans-Zulliger-Schule, a special needs school in Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate. Together with a 19-year-old accomplice, he entered the school grounds despite prohibition signs. The girl was attacked in the toilet room, where she was threatened with a knife during the assault. The victim only told her sister about the horrific assault two days later. Although Nassar S. was arrested, his accomplice escaped and is still at large.

@fermolinalopes7 @joeroganhq Is he wrong though?

@nickihrvy @TomiLahren You could also not look like a raving lunatic every time "something" happens.

@TomiLahren You aren’t allowed to ask questions- I mean you could, but expect to loose your job. And God forbid if one of the chosen ones decides you shouldn’t have asked- prepare for the Tucker treatment. I personally would LOVE it if that matters ❤️

Do we need to be asking more questions about this tick uptick???

@TomiLahren No. Bug and animals populations ebb and flow depending on environmental factors. What else do you want to know?

@LeadingReport What's he waiting for?
