@shawngorham @guessworkinvest That's because tradesmen and contractors like to fix things?

@guessworkinvest Tradesmen and contractors drive American brands, I don’t make the rules :)

I didn’t grow up with trucks, so cut me some slack. But we grew up with Toyota and Hondas as the reliable cars in our immigrant household.
So why are Ridgelines and Tacomas/Tundras so much less used in fleets than a Ford or Chevy? Are they actually worse?

I finally gave up on finding a Canadian bank with a functioning website, and drive an hour to the nearest RBC branch to open an account in-person. At which point the teller informs me that their software will not accept my email address as valid because it is not a gmail address.

Update: After having given up last time, I today needed to send a large wire, which I was unable to do because my current bank's website is broken. In frustration I have now tried once again to open an account at several of the largest banks in Canada, and this has once again proven impossible as their websites continue to crash at random points in the signup flow. This is reaching sitcom levels of ridiculousness. How do 41 million people live in this country without a single functioning bank‽ I am semi-seriously considering moving to the United States just so I can use Mercury.

@209ban_route Oh! This is the first one I seen that actually looks different

@thereal__jaime At this point it seems like he's probably 99% dead, R's are stringing him along to reach the Aug 3 deadline for an election but D's come out ahead at a natl level by dragging it out at by having the R majority cut (with no one to replace him)

@cctvincidents How'd she wake up from a blackout and get right back into it?
Separately, later she's gonna be wondering why the back of her head hurts so much...

@yuntantaisa Glad someone provided instructions, but thats all the difference it's supposed to make?
What are people going on about, the pics are almost identical ...?

From 1990-2020 companies like McDonalds had access to overqualified labor. Now that they are getting the employees they deserve, the business model is in trouble
Mike Dizzll@mikedizzll
It’s crazy to me that McDonald’s was fast food for like 50 years without an issue, and now 99% of the time they have you pull around and park to wait ten mins for your food. What happened? Automation is better and the employees got slower. All while getting paid more. Makes no sense.

@brujitohat @BranOnlineTV Does long pressing do something different on other phones, because there's no change to the pic on mine...?

@BranOnlineTV Dawg I've been seeing them online, and I was like "I guess is not working :b" I didnt know you had to long press them!! Thank you for the instructions

@HedgeDirty I would argue that there is also less "hard" work to be done, in the sense that a steelworker will never think his white collar son is working as hard
English
I think I've tweeted this before, but my theory of why "kids these days just dont work as hard" is such a recurring trope is that in every generation, the hard-working rise to the top, and it is they who tell the story of their generation's past

@mylordcod @buccocapital The twitter investors were made while by attaching it to 'AI' and bundling it into the SpaceX exit

@HotPanini1 @buccocapital he does so much more than that even in the financial space. He made the twitter investors money even after the thing tanked. incredible work

My sister has been saving for a house down payment for 6 years.
$500 a month. Every month. No exceptions.
She skipped vacations. Drove the same car for a decade. Packed lunch every single day.
Last month she finally hit $60,000.
She called me excited. Ready to start looking.
Then her realtor sent her the numbers.
Average home in her area: $520,000.
She needs $104,000 for 20% down to avoid PMI.
She's $44,000 short. After 6 years of sacrifice.
She asked me what she did wrong.
Nothing. She did everything right.
The finish line just moved faster than she could run.
She's 34. Single. No kids. Good job. Perfect credit.
And she's still not enough for a system that keeps adjusting the rules mid-game.

@buccocapital This covers most of his ventures, but I should actually amend #1 to say 1) Identify biggest flow of funds at the time
That captures PayPal (in that era) and xAI as well. It's like a first principles consulting analysis on which industry to get into
English
@buccocapital It's weird people don't give him credit just because his strengths aren't in a trad wrapper. What he's shown he can do is:
1) Identify flow of government funds
2) Raise money to build something that can access that flow
3) Sell unlimited growth potential
4) Exit to public market

Oh, $OPEN is down 60%, you say?
Fascinating.
Why is it fascinating, you ask?
Oh, no particular reason…

OPEN now down 60% since this. Absolutely nobody could have seen this coming

Doesn't work very well. Heritability of exceptional strategic genius is not strong enough for the prince to be as good as the king. Millennia of history and fallen dynasties show this.
Much better idea: clone the king and pass to his clone, or even better just solve aging and leep the kimg alive forever.

1 year ago, Pacific Beach residents protested a 23-Story Tower being built in a tightly packed residential neighborhood in a small business district with only 2 lanes surrounded by a neighborhood with very little parking. You would have imagined these residents would have their city council member there, but No. Joe La Cava told them he was too busy attending a Pride Parade across the city. The greedy developer is using loopholes in the affordable housing laws stating that if they make a handful of units "affordable" housing, they can make all the rest luxury apartments or hotel rooms. Currently 1 full year has gone by and the project is still held up in San Diego City review. The "affordable housing" term is a total scam for developers. The County of San Diego defines Low Income as households earning up to 80% of the AMI. The average median income for San Diego is $130,000. But the AMI for La Jolla / North PB where this horrible tower is being proprosed is $147,230 – $184,004. So what is considered "Affordable Housing" in San Diego is basically an AMI of $100,000.
