@RkBench @yugacohler @paulg PDF! 🙏

@yugacohler Best read I’ve done in the last 5 years is just wrapping every @paulg essay into a single pdf and had flash print in Harvard square put them into 4 volume set coil binders. Let me know if you want the single pdf (or I can have flash print make you one)

Looking for book recommendations. - Genuinely thought-altering - No Gladwell slop - Unaligned with current paradigms - Politics/economics/culture - Could be operational or theoretical - Bonus if banned, PDF only, or only talked about in dark rooms Hit the replies 👇

This has been a long time coming, and I want to take a moment to thank y'all for your continued support and believe in what we are doing. The next few months should be a lot of fun. @SolveMaxwell @RJPinnell @AntoniusGress @Trigs_0 @stragys_m @JonValjonathan @me_jango @angelo_a_jr @NateEngquist @mattbouillon @moondog_eth @HotchkissWeb @stellaachenbach @Absolut_Deejay @jim_stanczak @ZG_Stardust @TheJeffHopp @JephthahMbah and so many more...

@iamsvenh Last year was brutal where I’m at. We had the double brood. It was so nice when they finally shut up.

Cicada's are insane this year. The sound today is indescribable

@liftblog I skied Kicking Horse a few days ago. On one of our gondola laps, the carriage slammed into the upper station where they have the little guides. Jostled everyone and a woman sort of yelped when it hit. Wonder if that was the one that fell.

One complicating factor for the heli/rope evacuation of Kicking Horse's gondola: There's a 20 acre grizzly enclosure right under the lift. Boo already awoke from his hibernation. Presumably Kicking Horse had to secure him before lowering anyone from the lift in that area.

Web3 is Broken 😭 The stakeholders are misaligned and working at odds: - Chains spend millions in grants but don’t drive adoption (TVL) - Projects are stuck with grant farming without sustainability - Communities have no exposure to early-stage fair launch tokens 1/6 🧵 🪡

@iamsvenh Crushed it @iamsvenh ! 🔥🔥🔥

What a day... what a week... what a year... 7 Days ago we sat just over 5k in funding. Fast forward to today we have managed to enough support to snag 1st place. Words cannot express what I am feeling today. Thank you all. I'll have more to say once this rush settles. :D

Final 48 hours of the season for @artizen and the sales are rolling in. Congrats to @iamsvenh on raising $50K+ in the past few hours. You got this!

@levelsio a.co/d/cZNwuuI I have these and like them. I’m pretty sensitive to odors and they did not seem to have any.

Replyers say: Rubber tiles like these emit toxic fumes of formaldehyde and microplastics etc What alternative gym tiles should I use? Cork? Any brands?

@SterlingCooley Thank you! Looking forward to trying it. 🫡

Both works fine - i get tired of circling it around for 5 minutes - it doesn’t need it if doing it on self If on someone else it does help to do the movement especially if they are non verbal Moving around distributes the pressure So for a device like the us-2000 on the highest setting you have to move the head back and forth on skin, otherwise you can feel a pressure (it is sound after all) But I don’t even recommend highest setting on us-2000 on head either way So yeah 👍

Great breakdown. I don’t see what Vail Resorts could possibly do to win here. The $2 extra per hour is nothing compared to the money and goodwill they have already lost. Absolute insanity. I was planning on being at Park City all next week. Now I’m definitely going elsewhere.

Day 5 update on @VailResorts Park City ski patrol strike. Here's a synopsis of what's happened for those impacted by nearly 90% of Park City being shut down the past 5 days and wondering what's going on: - Park City ski patrol has been asking for a base pay increase from $21/hr to $24/hr for several months (neighboring Powder is $26/hr and Deer Valley is $24/hr). This also hasn't increased in x3 seasons so their ask is well below inflation. - Vail Resorts (VR) and @PCski leadership refused to budge and let them go on strike beginning Saturday 12/28. VR also preemptively flew in ski patrol leadership from many of their other resorts (impacting their holiday and family plans as well as safety at those other locations) which they thought would mitigate any operational impact. - The result for the thousands of guests visiting Park City for the holidays has been horrendous. Guests have and are still experiencing hour+ long wait lines, runs dangerously overcrowded resulting in guests being hit by other skiiers, guests are waiting longer than usual for Ski Patrol when injured (the days I was up there I didn't see a single Ski Patroller on the mountain), and over 80% of the mountain is still closed due to avalanche concerns (because the experienced Ski Patrollers who know how to mitigate for it are still on strike). - VR lied to customers for the first x3 days, citing that wind and snow were the reasons runs were closed and lines were long, until they finally released a video admitting that it was due to the ski patrol strike and told us they were going to re-enter negotiations and come to a resolution. - Last night, PC Ski Patrol notified us that Vail Resorts still has refused to grant them the concessions they asked for, they have allowed the strike to continue, and conditions are still terrible today. - Finally, the attached letter from the Breckenridge Ski Patrol Union revealed that Vail Resorts has also been compromising the safety of guests at other VR resorts and pressuring other employees from those resorts to act as leverage against their fellow ski patrollers in Park City. @VailResorts did a great job for many years popularizing skiing and making it more accessible. And this generation of leadership, specifically, their CEO Kirsten Lynch, is undoing over a decade of good will by making the conscious decision this past week to punish their customers in order to send a message to their employees. They've compromised the safety and ruined the vacations of thousands of guests because they're more focused on minimizing costs than they are in ensuring that their customers have a beautiful and safe experience during the vacations they invested thousands of dollars in to enjoy over the holidays. This entire situation was avoidable and could have been resolved immediately at any point in time, but VR leadership chose and continues to choose to subsidize their customer experience in order to minimize their costs. Kirsten Lynch's responsibility is to maximize the value of $MTN stock for shareholders. How does stealing time and money from thousands of guests, putting guest safety at risk, and causing irreparable harm the Vail Resorts brand maximize shareholder value? @VailResorts board should hold Kirsten, Deirdra Walsh (VP & COO of Park City), and Bill Rock (President of VR Mountain Division) accountable for putting cost-cutting and their personal egos ahead of customer safety and experience. My hope is that VR and Park City leadership humbly admits they were wrong and stops putting Park City guests safety at risk, ends the strike so the Park City ski patrol can get back to work, and opens up the mountain. @UtahStateParks @ParkCityGovt @PCMtnAlert @NSAA_org @usfs_r4 @ParkCitySki @tanyaachar @KSKInvestors @MariahXHoard @mirandastacy @sbmgreer @RobBradUVA @thomas_scott__ @LiberalLeopard @ZcryptA @lyfeblock @dhowell @trevorcall1 @crypto_chik01 @SoFloExecutive @munves @bmullahy2news @michael_riley @liftblog @TownLiftNews @KPCWRadio @skimagonline @sundancefest @p_malatesta @zak_podmore @SoFloExecutive @sustainbytrain @iz_aries @NShrubs @iwasid @stgoldst @ZachWritesStuff @jfberke @ByGerrySullivan @ChossUSA

@SMB_Attorney Make sure you pee. Holding urine increases it a bunch.

I feel great but my blood pressure has been unusually high the past few days (145/100), which isn’t normal. I’m obviously planning to see my doctor. But in the meantime, I’m cutting caffeine, hydrating, doing light exercise (walking), and low sodium. Any other suggestions?

@build_rd_ Aren’t they building this in Saudi? The line or something?

Roadtown remains a compelling theoretical model for rethinking urban development. It raises critical questions about the integration of transportation, housing, and environmental design in the creation of future cities.

Edgar Chambless' Roadtown (1910) was a pioneering urban planning concept envisioning a continuous, linear city. This structure integrated housing, workspaces, and communal services in a vertical arrangement, emphasizing efficiency and accessibility.

@bryan_johnson @flyosity Do you think the grounding sheet helps? Haven’t seen you post about it at all.

@flyosity I use a grounded fitting sheet 5% silver fiber & 95% cotton fiber

@broadwaybabyto In my experience, ER doctors are solely concerned with whether or not you exit out the ER alive. After that, it’s on your PCP.

Me in ER with severe dehydration & tachycardia from POTS flare (undiagnosed at time) Dr: “How much did you drink last night?” Me: “I don’t drink” Dr: “Tell the truth - if you don’t we can’t help” Me: “I’m allergic to alcohol. I’ve had nothing to drink.” Dr: “Don’t lie” 🧵 /1
