@AstroPythagoras @Rainmaker1973 Interesting… one last question as soon as the wire hits the ground, current flow to ground, why it’s getting distributed horizontally? It can go vertical right? Also how come ground is conducting electricity

@SaintOfStocks @Rainmaker1973 High voltage transmission lines carry sufficient voltage to break down the soles of everyday shoes.
Even if it doesn't do this, it can follow the dirt, moisture or even the air around the soles. These voltages have no issue bridging past the shoes to your legs.

@signulll May be we didn’t give enough time or it’s already evolved and civilizations fought and brought us to extinction and after war math, we modified our DNA to suppress the super intelligence for the future generations
English
humans are state of the art hardware running kinda ancient software.
the wetware is absolutely extraordinary.. 86 billion neurons, all massively parallel, & energy efficient beyond anything we can remotely engineer. the hardware is genuinely best in class.
so then why did super intelligence not naturally evolve within us?

A stock with this kind of pattern and a Stage 4 decline usually takes five years to return to its previous highs.
And, on average, only one in two stocks will make it.
The rest fade into obscurity.

@bubbleboi So what is Claude and others doing then. Is innovation nowadays renamed as efficiency?? Ask them to get a fix to deadly diseases, fix the plastic problem. But instead they are doing the stupid stuff of developing, ads all useless shit that doesn’t improve quality of life!!
English
I honestly forget OpenAI exists sometimes I feel like they don’t even do anything anymore just resting on their laurels no innovation as of late.

Brian Armstrong explains how he built Coinbase on nights and weekends while working at Airbnb Brian first advises those who are currently employed to not build your project on company hours or on your company laptop: “If you build it on company time or on the company hardware, the company probably owns the IP.” Then he describes his schedule for working on Coinbase while still working full-time at Airbnb. “I would often work [at Airbnb] until 7pm. I’d come home, eat dinner, and then I would work from 8pm to midnight. I would do that maybe 3-4 days a week on weekdays. And then on the weekend I’d work Sunday afternoon for 7-8 hours.” Brian did this consistently for about a year and a half until Coinbase was far enough along for him to get seed funding from Y Combinator. “It sucked. I mean I was tired after the full day of work [at Airbnb]. But this is where determination comes in… At that moment in time, I was in my late 20s, and I was like, ‘I really want to try to build something important in the world.’” When asked how he maintained friendships during this time, Brian replies: “I was pretty intense about it. I would say I sacrificed friendships for it. It’s not like I was just never responding to people, but I’ve seen this happen to various people. They get to a certain point in their life. Sometimes they turn a certain age where they thought they would have more done by then or maybe someone in their family passes away and they’re like, Oh my god, time is finite. It’s precious. And something happens where they’re like, ‘I’m going to get this done, no matter the cost.’” Brian tells those out there who might be in a similar situation: “Go hard at it. Finish your book. Launch your thing. Just start doing stuff - and even if you don’t know what to do, just do anything, because action will produce information and it’ll help you get to the right thing.” Video source: @StevenBartlett (2022)

@Pirat_Nation lol I already deleted YouTube on my cell phone, soon on my TVs as well… I’m ok to wait and watch a movie or spend my time with my family rather than this stupid stuff

YouTube is reportedlytesting unskippable ads up to 90 seconds long on smart TVs and streaming devices.
• Up to 90-second ad breaks
• No skip option
• Designed mainly for TV viewing
• Fewer, but longer ad interruptions
• Higher ad revenue focus
They want more users to pay for Premium

@StockOptionCole Wrong, not a coincidence at all. I do that all the time, I close the position for a 100% gain or hold little bit more!! But the trader is lucky the move happened in couple of candles itself … so he is not degenerate nor an insider. Pure day trader with luck on his side

@TheLongInvest You already know the answer, and what you have in mind is correct!!

Not even 24hrs.
Israel did not give the US permission to end the war so they retaliated with its largest aggression today in Lebanon
Putting the ceasefire in jeopardy
The Strait is now closed again
Does this sound like diplomacy?
Does it sound like the US is in control?
Does it sound like a win?
What is it that the Israelis have on the US that allows them to control Trump like this?

@pickover Apply log and calculate the first derivative. If it’s positive then for increasing x the function is increasing else for increasing x the function output is decreasing. So in our case 99 produces highest value…

Math: "Exponent Showdown."
Which is larger: 100⁹⁹ or 99¹⁰⁰? At first glance it looks like a simple comparison… but it’s a beautiful little trap that reveals how our intuition may fail with exponents. Take a guess, then try to prove it without a calculator.
English
@pickover Just apply log function to both, 99 can be written as (100-1)power100
English
@pepemoonboy Yes all of you Math is correct. But remember 7% or 10% avg returns is a made up number based on last 20 years or 80 years. I’ll bet rents go down, prices go down, stock markets also go down. So you can also end up where you started after 30 years. If not, ill be making 5M/year

For the homeowners getting mad at me for this analysis...
Wait until you see what happens to the price of your home when AI takes 20%-50% of white collar jobs in the next 3 years and your prospective tenants demand lower rent...or can't pay rent at all...
And by the way, I own 4 homes.
So before you think I'm targeting you, please understand, I'm in the same boat as you, and these are all very real concerns of mine.

When I ran the numbers on renting and investing the difference vs. buying a home, I used national averages and y'all lost your minds. Fair enough. This time I used two real listings in Durham, NC with matching bedrooms and comparable square footage. Apples to apples. The properties: - For sale: 305 Reynolds Ave — $389,000 / 3bd 2ba / 1,580 sqft - For rent: 1526 Smoky Mountains St — $1,950/mo / 3bd 2.5ba / 1,658 sqft The setup: - Mortgage rate: 6.50% (30yr fixed, 10% down) - Durham combined property tax rate: 0.99% - Home insurance: $1,721/yr (avg for 27707 zip) Buyer monthly cost (Year 1): - P&I: $2,213 - Property tax: $321 - Insurance: $143 - Maintenance (1%): $324 - PMI: $146 Total: $3,148/mo Renter monthly cost (Year 1): - Rent: $1,950 - Renters insurance: $14 Total: $1,964/mo The renter saves $1,184/mo. Plus the $50,570 in down payment and closing costs never leaves their pocket. All of it goes into $VOO. This time I'm accounting for what everyone said I missed: Assumptions: - Rent increases 3.5%/yr (it is NOT frozen) - Property tax increases 2%/yr - Home insurance increases 3%/yr - Home appreciates 3.4%/yr (avg since 1891) - S&P 500 returns 10%/yr (long-term avg) - PMI drops once equity hits 20% - Selling costs: 6% (agent commissions + transfer taxes) - Capital gains tax: 15% on stocks - Home sale exclusion: $500K (married couple) All results are AFTER taxes and selling costs Results: 1. After 10 years: - Renter net (after cap gains tax): $299K - Buyer net (after selling costs): $214K Renter wins by $85K 2. After 20 years: - Renter net: $815K - Buyer net: $519K Renter wins by $296K 3. After 30 years: - Renter net: $2.16M - Buyer net: $971K Renter wins by $1.19M "But rent will be $5,473/mo in 30 years." Yes. And the renter's portfolio generates $18K/mo at a 10% return. Even at a conservative 4% withdrawal rate, that's $7,200/mo. You can pay rent and still never touch the principal. What this still doesn't capture: - HELOC access / borrowing against equity - Refinancing if rates drop - Forced savings effect (most renters won't invest the difference) - Intangible value of ownership, stability, no landlord - HOA fees (if applicable) - Major repairs beyond 1% (roof, HVAC, plumbing) - Geographic differences: these numbers are Durham, NC. Your market will be different. A home is a place to live. It can also be a great financial decision depending on your market, discipline, and goals. But the "renting is throwing money away" crowd needs to run the numbers before they say that. Not financial advice. Run your own numbers.

@KobeissiLetter No fear at all, if their is fear as you described market would be swinging like wild, no ones worried expect you!!

It feels a lot like "Liberation Day" in April 2025:
Heading into President Trump's 8 PM ET deadline for Iran tonight, there are a ton of similarities to April 2025.
The market is seeing historically high levels of fear, uncertainty is at record highs, and the "fate" of the global economy appears to be in Trump's hands.
The difference is that Iran has not folded and they continue to indicate that they will not fold.
When tariffs were imposed, many countries folded. When Trump threatened to invade Greenland, Europe came to the table. And, when Trump imposed 130% tariffs on China, a trade deal was reached.
But, what happens when a deal is not reached?
Tonight, we will likely find out. If Trump moves his "deadline" for the 5th time, Iran gains leverage. If Trump strikes "all Iranian power plants and bridges" as he has threatened, it will mark the biggest escalation yet.
We will be covering the situation and providing our analysis in real-time.

$NKE - THE IMPOSSIBLE RANGE TO IGNORE -
Between $26 - $39
$NKE does not need to drop into this range to be considered undervalued as it is already -30% below its 200 MONTHLY MA
But there is:
- A bullish wedge apex
- VWAP mean
- And Fib support levels
All in this range, while being technically extremely oversold.
Risk is effectively zero at this point.

@Rainmaker1973 lol there is some proof in ancient textures that during a war, some one diverted a nuclear weapon to Mars!!
English
Harvard-trained physicist Dr. John Brandenburg claims that an ancient civilization on Mars was destroyed by massive thermonuclear explosions.
According to Brandenburg, unusual isotopic signatures on Mars — particularly elevated levels of Xenon-129 in the atmosphere, along with excess uranium and thorium on the surface — match the radioactive remnants of large-scale nuclear detonations on Earth. He points to regions such as Cydonia (near the famous “Face on Mars”) and Utopia Planum as possible sites of ancient intelligent life that may have been targeted or caught in the blasts.
He suggests these explosions, which he estimates occurred hundreds of millions of years ago, could explain not only the isotopic anomalies but also aspects of Mars’ reddish appearance, which he believes partly results from nuclear fallout rather than iron oxide alone. In some versions of his hypothesis, he has linked the event to a possible “planetary nuclear massacre” and even speculated it could have been an attack involving advanced weaponry.
However, the theory remains highly controversial and is not accepted by the broader scientific community. Critics note the absence of any large impact craters, blast zones, or clear geological evidence consistent with such massive nuclear events. Mainstream explanations attribute the observed isotopes and surface features to natural processes, such as ancient volcanic or cosmic-ray activity.
Brandenburg’s ideas, first presented in papers around 2014 and later expanded, continue to spark public interest but lack empirical confirmation and are widely regarded as speculative.
