@Marklittle95 The extension of the left foot! Also the fact he fakie three flipped for the set up was tasteful

You aren't sure of yourself so you half-ass it to "play it safe", then you take a slam because you weren't committed, then you pick up your board and say okay I got this next try. Gotta feel the pain.

People who went from insecure to genuinely confident, what was the one shift that actually changed everything for you?

This guy doesn't know what the double-slit experiment is
Elon Musk@elonmusk
I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.

@JorgeTWeather Technically Phoenix set a record low in 2023, but it was the record for highest low (97º)
English
Many ask why I don't talk about record lows in Phoenix.
Well... because they rarely happen.
Phoenix hasn't set one since 2008.
Only two in roughly the last 40 years:
Feb. 28, 1985 - 28°
Aug. 28, 2008 - 64°

@yourmombeats Here's a skate video playlist I made. Some obvious omissions, but I had to make it for family-friendly skate events

Skate friends: I'm doing a beat set for Go Skateboarding day. I was originally going to use stuff I already made, but yesterday I had an idea.
Lmk your favorite or most iconic song from a skate video. I'm hoping to get a long enough list to sample 40 minutes of material

@frozenaesthetic The confidence of this post and starting it with attributing sonder to German 😂

Emotions that don't exist in English:
Sonder (German)
The realization that every stranger you pass has a life as vivid and complex as your own
Mono no aware (Japanese)
The gentle sadness of knowing everything beautiful is temporary and loving it more because it will not last
Merak (Serbian)
A deep sense of contentment found in small moments. Shared laughter, warm light and feeling fully present
Iktsuarpok (Inuit)
The restless anticipation that makes you keep checking the door, waiting for someone who has not arrived yet
Toska (Russian)
A quiet heavy ache with no clear cause. A sadness that settles in and refuses to explain itself
Forelsket (Norwegian)
The euphoric rush of falling in love, before reality has a chance to interrupt it
Kilig (Tagalog, Philippines)
The sudden flutter in your chest when affection catches you off guard, a warmth that arrives before logic does
Hiraeth (Welsh)
A deep longing for a home that no longer exists, or maybe never did. A homesickness for a feeling rather than a place
English
This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.
The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

@BGatesTweeeets @tampicojones I'm hoping the pad moves because how would you skate a manny pad at the bottom of a bank? I also assume the rail on the bump-to-bar/pyramid can be taken out too otherwise you can't skate the ledge

@tampicojones Your rebound is gonna bounce right off that manny pad. Who designed this? Who is ripping off Tyshawn?

AZ DUI laws allow conviction if cop "determines" impairment regardless of evidence. Guilty unless somehow proven innocent. Minimum penalties: 10 days jail, year-long interlock, classes, counseling, & fines (~$10k before lawyer fees). Cops have DUI quotas and get bonuses, creating

Dillon Brooks blows a .00 and the cop immediately accuses him of lying about smoking marijuana. It certainly sounds like the officer was unhappy about Dillon blowing a .00 and was looking for something else to arrest him on. Also, the overall footage appears to confirm that ZERO marijuana located in a vehicle.
