@jonbrooks Ozempic has to be part of this conversation, too. When social media ads are all about microdosing a GLP-1, why would someone go to a sweaty, dirty strip mall to run on a treadmill for a mediocre workout that doesn't make them look better?

Our local Orangetheory is shutting down. I asked why. They said the biggest reasons were: • People moving out of the area • Financial stress / job loss • Membership cancellations I asked if this happens every year. They said no. And that locations across the country are seeing declining membership. Small signals like this matter. The economy always shows stress locally first.

@marcorandazza This was Wingz. It didn’t work

Rideshare services are enshittified. I say support entrepreneurship. Ride to airport: i paid the service $100. Driver owns the car. He gets $36 for that 1 hour ride, pays his own gas, insurance, maintenance. He probably netted $15. To pick me up at 5am, to drive me to the airport, in the snow. When he showed me that, i took his number and said “next ride, I’ll just pay you” he said “great. I’ll charge you $75 any time” He’s already scheduled to pick me up on the way home. 1. He can pick me up at the place where your friends and family get you. No trudging to the “rideshare zone” 2. He can drop me off next time right at the terminal instead of the rideshare drop off. 3. He makes way more money, but i spend the same. 4. He gives MUCH more of a damn if I’m happy. Normalize doing this.

@influenceradar @thealepalombo Agreed. And no food scene. But the golf ….

@thealepalombo Terribly boring. I lived one year there. It s a watered down version of Greece. It s a mall. Weather and sea is nice though

I think 80% of families looking for a European base will end up in Cyprus. Here's why. 15% corporate tax. A 17-year non-dom regime that eliminates tax on foreign dividends and interest with just 60 days of presence. English everywhere. British common law. No wealth tax. No inheritance tax. 340 days of sunshine. EU citizenship after 7 years of residency. Direct flights to London, Dubai, and most of Europe. Healthcare is affordable and high quality. International schools in every major city. And with €300K in real estate, you qualify for permanent residency if you prefer the investment route. No other country gives you this combination at this price point. Some people find it boring. As Portugal cools down, 80% of globally mobile families will most likely end up choosing Cyprus. What's your take: how's life in Cyprus? Is it really as boring? Please share your honest pros and cons.

@TimurNegru Where would I find a link to this listing?

Located in the hills of Marche, in the heart of Cagli. Close to a walkable 17th-century center with its own historic theater, squares, and local restaurants. 30 mins to Urbino (UNESCO site) and 45 mins to the Adriatic coast. ~2 hours to Bologna and ~3 hours to Rome airports. What else would you need eh?

I think I just found the best living art value in Italy. €335k ($390k) for a renovated 1600s palazzo in Marche. It’s the actual birthplace of the painter Gaetano Lapis. Crazy price given that you’re buying a piece of history for the cost of a standard project house. 🧵

@shawngorham Just recently read about how much healthier rice is if you cook it and then cool it overnight in the fridge. Also: buy organic rice or rice grown in Thailand that is not enriched

To my Asian Friends, I need help... See I am American Male and I am addicted to eating copious amounts of Rice, like a fat kind in the Willy Wonk chocolate factory Like I am eating rice right now with my eggs for breakfast The problem is I, as an American Male, cannot stay un fat AND eat the amount of rice I crave. Can you please teach me how Asians eat rice and remain thin? Please help me eat more rice

Education desperately needs AI

@kylecoxATP @moltbook I'm looking forward to hearing what you come up with

@jimullen @DisrespectedThe @grok I made them and you don't get 12, you're closer to 7 or 8. With this new math they're 250 calories each and they are not worth 250 calories.

@DisrespectedThe @grok what is the macronutrient breakdown

Dang it. If I like these im leaving social media. 😂😂😂 FYI 350 for 25 minutes. Tell me what you think.

@SawyerMerritt How do you anticipate they will treat those of us who paid the $8k? Will we become legacy and carry our FSD with us as long as we own a tesla of some kind? Or will we have to switch to subscription when we get our next Model Y?

Here are eight things that come to my mind with this announcement: 1) Getting rid of the FSD purchase option eliminates the hardware-upgrade/retrofit concern going forward for new EV sales from Tesla’s standpoint, because subscribers aren’t promised anything. 2) One of the operational milestones in Elon’s 2025 CEO Performance Award plan is 10 million FSD subscriptions - not 10 million FSD purchases. Subscriptions. 3) Investors love predictable revenue. One-time FSD purchases don’t provide that; subscriptions provide a steadier, long-term recurring revenue source. 4) Free FSD transfer will undoubtably remain in countries where FSD is not live yet. 5) The Luxe Package on the Model S/X and Cybertruck will likely go away, or at least the FSD portion, lowering those cars’ entry prices. 6) At $99 per month, buying FSD outright for $8,000 made little sense for most people, since it would take about 6 years and 7 months of monthly payments to equal that upfront price. That doesn't include the opportunity cost of what you could have done with that $8k (stocks, etc). 7) This could be my bias (and optimism) speaking, but I think this change is a positive signal for the FSD (Unsupervised) timeline. 8) In my view, it would eventually make sense for Tesla to offer different FSD subscription tiers. For example, a lower-priced “FSD Light” could replace legacy Autopilot, while full FSD (Unsupervised) would remain a higher-priced premium option. Offering an annual FSD subscription for slightly cheaper would be great too.

@homegymcoop Great call!

Budget Home Gym Brethren: This is your bat signal. There is no better value squat rack currently on the market than this. It's a $99 (I repeat, $99!) 4-post, yellow as the school bus you used to shoot spit-wads at Jimmy Fletcher on rack for putting on slabs of muscular meat.

@AtlantaTeslaGuy @kevinxu The RH card is about worthless tho given the tiny credit limits

@kevinxu Robinhood cc w 3% unlimited cash back is even better.

apple pay is great. between the ~2% cash back and 3.65% APY, it's basically 6% off everything

@herbertong Not true. Just asked grok to change lanes for me today in Houston and it said “I can’t initiate a lane change”

The other thing that happened a few days ago. I was in HOV lane and I tell Grok I don’t want to be here, it then acknowledges and moves out of the lane

What a moment! Grok in the car just blew my wife’s mind. Just arrived at a restaurant and the car is about to park. My wife says “hey, I don’t want to park here” Grok (eve) replies (surprising her as she didn’t yet know Grok was on) saying “No worries where would you like instead?” So she says the next spot. And the car does it! Crazy. So many people will be shocked when they find out @aelluswamy @tesla @elonmusk

@BDoma @HeightOptimized amazon.com/All-toothpaste…

@HeightOptimized Where do we get this kind of toothpaste, are there any legit brands that are just lies on Amazon?

Teeth before and after consistent use of nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste.

I sent @irentdumpsters a DM because my dumpster company was dead in the water due to 7 months of Google verification hell. “I got you” he said. 2 weeks later we’re back and just booked our first customer from his team’s work. Miracle worker

@johnkonrad Their roadside assistance left my wife stranded. Claimed she was in too remote an area to service after 6 hours. She was on I-20 Never again USAA.

So USAA called me a few years back wanting me to sign up. This is no BS how the phone call went: USAA: This is USAA would you like a quote on auto insurance? Sure Can you walk me through your eligibility? Ok, I’m a captain in the US Merchant Marine So you’re a marine? No merchant marine That’s not a service. Yes it is Not according to us. Did your wife serve? Yes she served in the Iraqi war as a US Merchant Marine officer That doesn’t count, she has to be a veteran or government employee in war. She was decorated for her service in war. She has a war medal and some veteran benefits Can you send us her award paperwork? Sent My boss says that doesn’t qualify. Did any other family members serve? Yes, Dad is buried in Arlington What’s his name? Same as mine He didn’t sign up for USAA before he died so you’re not eligible. What about Grandparents? Yes, grandpa is also buried in Arlington What’s his name? Same as mine Did, he sign up for USAA before he died? No What about your wife’s father? Yes he was a disabled Vietnam vet before he passed Did he sign up for USAA before he died? No Do you have a step dad? No Does your son or daughter serve? They are 12 and 15 Do they serve? No Can you give me your oldest’s name so I can check? Same as mine Do you have any other family members who served? Many Can you send me their DD-214s? No Do you have an ex-wife who was a member? I only have one wife, the decorated merchant marine war vet, she is still alive, we are still married I already told you she doesn’t qualify . So why did you call us asking for membership? YOU CALLED ME It says here you were active duty Yes, at the Naval Academy Do you have a DD-214? We can look it up Go ahead. Please hold? Ok 10 minutes later.. We found your dd-214 but we don’t have a box for “midshipman” so you are not eligible. Why are you wasting my time? Morbid curiosity

@tywoosley23 Have you tested out mouth taping? Profound impact for me.

I’ll Venmo someone $1000 if they can fix my sleep permanently. I havent slept through a night in 10 years. Tried every sleep supplement under the sun , several peptides. Dropped 50 lbs. I still wake up 8-10x a night
