@VladTheInflator How does his girlfriend keep reversing the ageing process?

This a great lesson for all the men out there

@paulg Just not from October through to March

We're in Stockholm. You know how there are some places where you think "Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there"? Stockholm is the kind of place that makes you want to live there.

@Jonathan_Witt I worked at Allan Gray for years, and they're pretty ethical.

Has anyone ever worked for a large company which is actually ethical? Over years friends, family, and colleagues have had the most underhanded, dishonest, and treacherous experiences at such organizations. It appears to me that there is no such thing as an honest and sincere business beyond a certain level of size/income because of greed and megalomania. Furthermore the most despicable behaviour, especially at a senior management level, is usually rewarded. Am I too jaded?

@uMarhobane It's so bizarre to see young South Africans embracing this kind of boomer mindset... like, what reality do you live in?

What divides us: Politics, history, economic relations, racial tensions, ethnic grievances, language, music, ettiquette What unites us: Sportsball, braai, alcoholism

@RomanCabanac You really need to broaden your horizons, then. Many people who kitesurf wear them as they can tell you how high you're jumping and other useful information about your kite session.

I have never seen a thin person wear an Apple Watch.

@JaydenLevitt You're probably going to be alive for another 40 years. Learn to cook properly. Don't just parrot recipes, but learn the fundamentals of cooking. I recommend this course: pll.harvard.edu/course/science…

I'm 39. With no kids. And full time in Crypto. Please recommend to me oddly specific life tips. No general “surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible please.

@phoenixbird6789 @Jonathan_Witt ok, would love to see some evidence.

@WouterSchreude2 @Jonathan_Witt lots of ships making it through mate sorry if that makes you sad

All the “experts” were wrong about Iran. Donald J Trump was right. If you believed the “experts” again and had the rug pulled from under you perhaps you should be reconsidering some of your assumptions. Or just carry on letting life happen to you.

@Matt_Bracken48 BTW.... ISR = Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance

As we seem to be on the verge of launching the next kinetic phase of Operation Epstein Fiasco, keep your eye on the US Navy secondary blockade, roughly indicated by the red arc on this map. Here's the dilemma for the US: if they withdraw the destroyers on "picket duty," this will be seen by Russian and Iranian ISR, and this information will be passed immediately to the Iranians. These ships can only remain this close to Iranian territory, and Iran's anti-ship guided missiles, while there is a cease fire in effect. If and when the shooting starts again, Iranian missiles will fly at these warships that are well in range of numerous classes of Iranian ASGMs. That will be nut-cutting time for the sailors on those warships. Will they be left in place, on forward picket duty, facing the risk of being hit by missiles, to maintain the element of surprise? Or will they be sent back past the 1,000KM "safe line?" and tipping our plan? Will the Iranians wait until all the refuelers parked by the runways at Ben Gurion take to the air, or will they unleash ballistic missiles on these airfields before they all get off the ground, in Israel and other countries?

@Paratus2014 GDP measures how dollars change hands, not what gets produced. An MRI that costs $400 in Japan and $10,000 in the US adds 25x more to American GDP for the same scan. The machine didn't do 25x the work. The dollars just moved around 25x more. Kuznets warned about this in 1934.

Swellendam is 100 years older than Miami. South Africa’s GDP is 70% that of the Miami metro. Follow me for more useless facts.

@AcademicAgent_X It's great, but it doesn't read well at all when you see it in X. If you made the Academic Agency letters darker, it would help.

What do you think of my new logo for my X feed dedicated to 1980s nostalgia?

@halenhargreevs Blitz Commodore Vic-20 youtube.com/watch?v=YEP6Kq…

Without telling me your age… what was the very FIRST video game you ever played?

@Xandra_KH It would go nicely with a loose cotton blouse!

Why are there basically no major cities on this entire coast of Australia?

@MichaelJordaan @Market_Mind_ @grok Not Hormuz. But enough to make the southern route contested, force convoy groupings, and push insurance premiums through the roof. You don't need to sink anything. You just need to be a credible threat.

@MichaelJordaan @Market_Mind_ @grok The Cape isn't a choke point like Hormuz, but it's closer to one than most people think. Ships can't just swing south to avoid a naval threat — the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties are right there. The navigable corridor is tighter than it looks on a map.

World’s Largest Oil Chokepoints 🛢 1. 🇲🇾🇸🇬 Strait of Malacca - 23.2 Mn B/D 2. 🇴🇲🇮🇷 Strait of Hormuz - 20.9 Mn B/D 3. 🇿🇦 Cape of Good Hope - 9.1 Mn B/D 4. 🇩🇰 Danish Straits - 4.9 Mn B/D 5. 🇪🇬 Suez Canal - 4.9 Mn B/D 6. 🇾🇪🇩🇯 Bab El-Mandeb - 4.2 Mn B/D 7. 🇹🇷 Turkish Straits - 3.7 Mn B/D 8. 🇵🇦 Panama Canal - 2.3 Mn B/D Note: Average daily transit measured in million barrels per day; total global oil flow ~80 Mn B/D

@MichaelJordaan @Market_Mind_ @grok Simon's Town naval base, active radar, a submarine or two, and long-range maritime patrol aircraft. That's your choke point. Ships can't swing far enough south to escape the threat radius. The weather closes that door.

@Turbinetraveler Anything for the gram

Earlier today, British Airways flight BA268 from Los Angeles (LAX), operated by an Airbus A380 (G-XLEG), performed a go-around at London Heathrow after a full touchdown. 📹: FlightFocus365

@uMarhobane Exactly, it's great but what happens when there's a world oil shock and people stop travelling? South Africa used to be self-sustained, with an impressive industry that made the country resilient. Tourism is entirely passive.

I dont know why people are fighting me on the tourism issue so hard Like, yeah, its great that people are making money and getting employed and stuff But its a very superficial sector that does little to grow essential economic functions, and its really fragile

@Jonathan_Witt Well, they never had much of a Navy or an Air Force to begin with. So you've just defined a narrow set of parameters by which you choose to declare victory. Besides, this war is far from over.

I don’t want to associate with anyone who thinks the side which no longer has a navy or an air force “won”. Feel free to remove yourself from my orbit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
