@Jason sell ur stock soon haha

Uber is going to be bought by Google/Waymo, Amazon or Tesla/SpaceX in the next year. For a “buy it now” price of $250b, one of those three companies gets a $12b a year free cash flow machine with $70b in revenue — and hundreds of millions of global customers This is the most obvious M&A deal since Instagram, Android and YouTube transformed Meta and Google Discuss

Dostoevsky was 28 when they stood him in front of a firing squad. Blindfolded. Hands tied. He could hear the rifles being loaded. At the last second a messenger on horseback arrived. The Tsar had commuted the sentence. The entire execution was staged. Psychological torture designed to break him. It worked. He had a seizure on the spot. They sent him to a labour camp in Siberia. 4 years. Freezing. Starving. Sleeping on wooden planks next to murderers. His epilepsy got worse. He had no paper. No pen. Nothing. When he got out he was broke. His first wife died. His brother died. He inherited his brothers debts. He was so desperate for money he signed a contract with a publisher that would have given away the rights to everything hed ever write if he missed the deadline. He wrote The Gambler in 26 days to make it. Dictated it to a 20 year old stenographer named Anna. Married her three months later. Then the real work started. Crime and Punishment. The Idiot. Demons. The Brothers Karamazov. The greatest novels in the history of the Russian language. Maybe any language. The man who stood blindfolded before the firing squad, who convulsed on the ground while soldiers watched, who slept next to killers in Siberia for 4 years, who was buried in debt and grief. That man wrote: "every minute can be an eternity of happiness." He earned the right to say it. its never over. never give up fren.

Good morning 😅

@TheRoyalSerf good point

The main point of Christianity was this: that Nature is not our mother: Nature is our sister. We can be proud of her beauty, since we have the same father; but she has no authority over us; we have to admire, but not to imitate.

“If God forgives us we must forgive ourselves otherwise its like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than him.” - C.S. Lewis

I’m trying to get some work done — so glad we’re running out of GPUs 😂

“Optimize for harm reduction long enough, and you end up optimizing for nonexistence—the only state without pain”

Roald Dahl's wife recounts her first date with her future husband:

Let's crunch the numbers. Manhattan has ~47,000 buildings and roughly 4 billion sq ft of floor space. Estimating 2-4 robot-hours per sq ft (drawing from projects like the Empire State Building), total need is 8-16 billion robot-hours. 5M robots working 24/7 for 6 months deliver ~21 billion hours. Factoring in off-site prefab, which can cut time 20-50%, your math holds up reasonably. 10B by 2045? Transformative!

As we are uncovering just how bad the American people are being robbed… Never forget what the Biden Administration did. They sent forklifts to open up the border for millions. Millions of people hardworking Americans are now paying for. Treasonous.

BREAKING: After discovering that 1 registered Minnesota voter can vouch for up to 8 others w/o an ID & that a residential facility employee can vouch for unlimited residents, I’ve submitted a Data Practices Request to Secretary Simon for vouching data from Nov. 5th, 2024.

Between 1997 and 2008, Brigitte Bardot was fined six times for her comments about Islam. In one case, a Paris court fined her $15,000 for describing Muslims as "destroying our country by imposing their ways." Rest in peace, beautiful girl.❤️

Roger Stone Jr. tells Glenn Beck he personally asked Richard Nixon who killed JFK. "He said, 'let me put it this way: Lyndon and I both wanted to be president. But I wasn't willing to kill for it.'"

A year ago I would have thought this to be an overstatement. With the benefit of recent information, I have come to believe that @StephenM speaks the hard truth.

@Nero St Thomas Aquinas argued that citizenship should not be granted to foreigners until the third generation, and that those refused to join the state's culture and mode of worship should be held as foes in perpetuity. As usual, he was absolutely right.

FSD edge case from my Dad for @Tesla_AI “I was going 80 mph on FSD and a polythene sheet was airborne and got stuck to my car. FSD mistook it for a solid object and braked really hard. From 80 mph to 24 mph. Luckily the car behind me was far away”
