@tblum57 @RWB_American @mcgmouton57 You mount a router with straight bit on a jig above a lathe. The jig is connected by cable to the lathe so that as the router is moving laterally the lathe turns slowly.

@RWB_American @mcgmouton57 But how did he make those spirally legs?? The rest I coulda figured myself…

This craftsman has special skills and talent.
Many years of experience came through on this one.

@DToecutter @RWB_American That mortise and tenon jig is truly amazing. Will spend the rest of my day looking for plans.
English
@RWB_American I’m just amazed at all the specialized tooling, jigs and adapters he had for his power tools. Most of them were built out of wood as needed. Not much looks store bought. The piece is amazing. So is all the equipment.

@BloomOne @HowThingsWork_ Your first point is valid but Heinz is the Standard by which all ketchup is judged, which negates the second point. Many high end restaurants serve Heinz if someone requests ketchup.
English
@HowThingsWork_ Heinz IS cheap ketchup, it's high fructose corn syrup garbage.
If your restaurant uses Heinz (which is most of them) you're just low quality food in general.
English
Restaurants kept refilling Heinz bottles with cheap Ketchup, so Heinz made one simple label change that helped protect its $25 Billion brand.
🍅🧠
English
@Celinho_20 @HowThingsWork_ Every restaurant I worked in refilled condiment bottles, however they always refilled the branded bottles with the actual brand. When you buy ketchup in 3 gallon containers the cost is negligible.
English
I think most restaurants do this and we don't even know it. As we don't see when the bottles are refilled, it is difficult to know if the product is actually the same as the one in the bottle.
They usually do this to make a greater profit, since products without a big brand have a much lower value.

@MPelletierCIO @patk49682 Second the Chattanooga recommendation. If it’s not too much of a detour the Lodge cast iron museum is near there and surprisingly great.

Again, skipping our annual family summer vacation to Kelowna for the third straight year in a row. The changes that the city and province made to their accommodations has changed it dramatically. Now you get a basement suite for $400 to $500/night.
If others like me doing this, has to be a huge economic consequence to the city, which I absolutely love by the way - so many great people live there.
Last year it was cheaper for me to spend two weeks on the Italian Amalfi Coast than go to BC. This year headed to the American south! Starting in Nashville and then road trip! Open to recommendations from there!!

@pnickdurham I’m curious about how plumbing, electrical, etc. systems work in a stone building. Where do you route the utilities?
English
Right now, most builders and architects face a constrained menu. Structural materials that produce thickness are priced as exceptions rather than defaults. If fabrication and installation costs fall, that constraint changes.
Which suggests its a tooling problem. And tooling problems can get solved.
When our built environment doesn’t inspire, the world suffers. This is not a call to legislate taste. It is a call to expand choice.
English
Last year, we invested in @Monumental_Labs.
They use AI and robotics to reduce the cost of stone fabrication by 90%.
Construction tech is our game and while I think what they are doing with art and sculpture fab is amazing, the bull case for ML imo was doing building scale construction with stone. Essentially, reviving a dormant material type for type I construction to compete directly with steel and concrete.
Before investing, I had to answer a question that's been nagging me for years: exactly when and why did we stop building with natural materials like stone? Where did beauty in our built environment go to die?
It's mostly always been an economic story.

@SDVICAorg @JenniferJJacobs @NYMetroVets @CBSNews @DeptVetAffairs VA disability is rife with fraud tho. Many veterans who receive payments are able-bodied, they’re stealing money from veterans who really need it.

NEWS via @CBSNews: An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed U.S. service members in the early hours of the war with Iran was more severe than previously known, with dozens suffering injuries that included brain trauma, shrapnel trauma and burns, per sources. More than 30 remained in hospitals yday with battle injuries — one at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, 12 at Walter Reed, and about 25 at Landstuhl in Germany, sources said.
Of those, about 20 arrived on a C-17 military transport aircraft at Landstuhl on Tuesday with injuries the military designated as “urgent” and requiring evacuation.
More than 100 medical personnel were sent to Landstuhl to assist.

@goodefoodsfam @iamwtlllc Ok I tried it and I’m not gonna lie, they’re freaking amazing.
English
@goodefoodsfam @iamwtlllc Love beans and plan to try your recipe, but you should be aware that the whole Blue Zone thing has been debunked and attributed to pension/welfare fraud.
English
If you still think beans don’t belong in dessert… you’ve never tasted a real brownie.
Most people hear black beans in brownies and immediately say “that’s disgusting.”
Then they try one… and suddenly the pan is gone.
These are dense, fudgy, rich chocolate brownies — but the secret ingredient makes them softer, higher in protein, and unbelievably moist.
No one at the table ever guesses.
Black Bean Brownies
Ingredients
• 1 can Goode Foods Black Beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 eggs
• ⅓ cup melted butter or coconut oil
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ⅔ cup sugar or maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a small baking pan.
2. In a blender or food processor combine black beans, eggs, melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking powder, and salt.
3. Blend until completely smooth and thick like brownie batter.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Pour into the pan and bake 18–22 minutes until the center is just set.
6. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
The result?
A deep, fudgy brownie with a slightly crisp top and a rich chocolate center…
and nobody believes the main ingredient came from a can.
Some foods are trends.
Some foods just work.
Try it once and watch the entire pan disappear.

@AutismCapital To call it healthcare is atrocious. Whatever happened to “do no harm”???
English
Why is there outrage around this? A persons life is their life to control. If there is a way for them to quietly exit without causing a mess for others, what’s wrong with that? You can say it’s selfish, weak, that they’re leaving behind others, against God’s wishes, etc., whatever value judgement, but at the end of the day it’s their call to make. It’s better that they go like this than remain if they don’t want to and burden others.

@chamath While you frame that first point positively it sounds very dystopian to me; a voluntary social credit score. I enjoy my online anonymity.

If even 10% of this is true:
1) your identity on X becomes a crucial financial asset. The distribution of your identity becomes a huge asset that others will underwrite. Investing will then include building a following and posting good, interesting, engaging and useful content
2) stablecoins further explode in usage - which inevitably means all the yield will go to users and not to the platforms
3) fraud falls off a cliff - the cost of being a bad actor and being sidelined goes way up
Exciting, as a user, to be a part of this…

I don’t think people truly understand what’s about to happen with 𝕏 Money. This is Elon going back to his roots - back to x.com - and building what he always wanted in the first place: one place that runs your entire financial life. When he rebranded Twitter to 𝕏 in 2023, he said straight up that we’re adding the ability to conduct your entire financial world. He even said you may not even need a traditional bank account. Most people brushed that off. And now it’s becoming real. 𝕏 Money has already been live in closed beta internally within the company. A limited external beta is expected soon, and they’ve already secured money transmitter licenses in over 40 states plus DC. 𝕏 Payments is registered with FinCEN. Visa is officially partnered. You’ll be able to fund your wallet instantly, send peer-to-peer payments, move money to your bank, and eventually use a debit card. And I think this is just the beginning. This will probably start as a simple wallet where you can send money as easily as sending a DM. With this technology, you can pay creators, pay subscriptions, pay whatever bills, shop inside the app, get paid inside the app, and much more. Then, there will be high-yield savings, you can invest, you can get loans, have money market accounts, maybe even treasury access, cool smart cashtags that let you see live stock prices in your timeline and execute trades seamlessly, crypto integration, potentially full asset management… the list goes on and on… Elon literally said this is meant to be the central source of ALL monetary transactions. Bro… think about that for a sec. Your 𝕏 profile becomes your financial identity. Everyone you follow is already there. Everyone you interact with is already there. That social graph becomes your distribution engine. Like, you won’t need a separate banking app, no need for a separate investing app, no need for a separate payment app… this all lives where you already spend your time. Right here on 𝕏. Look at WeChat in China, which Elon always alluded to. Payments, messaging, shopping, investing - all integrated in one app. It handles $ trillions in volume and became deeply embedded in everyone’s daily life. Now 𝕏 is building the Western version of that, but with a more global reach, and xAI’s AI layered on top of all this. Before you call me crazy, you have to understand how big this opportunity is. Digital payments globally are measured in the tens of $ trillions of dollars annually. Even just capturing a small slice of that across hundreds of millions, and eventually a billion, users can change everything. 𝕏 already has the audience. That lowers customer acquisition costs significantly. Add fintech revenue on top of ads, plus float, plus lending, plus investing tools, and we’re talking about a completely different valuation profile. Now, $44B for this company looks like the bargain of the decade… this was one of the main reasons I invested in 𝕏. And if they execute the way they’ve executed at Tesla and SpaceX, this could truly fundamentally redefine how people handle $ . Most people today still see 𝕏 as just a social media app. I see it as the foundation of a financial system layered on top of a global network. Ultimately becoming the “everything” app. And this I believe is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Elon is calling this a game-changer. I believe him.
