@CitiusMag The extra info on this was this was his second infraction after getting a warning in an earlier event.

DQ’ed for this⁉️ Mallard Creek (NC) crossed the line 1st in the boys 4x400m relay, which would have clinched the NCHSAA 8A team state title. Instead, they were disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct & finished 2nd in the team standings for this ⬇️

@vrexec I feel there’s an 80% chance this works, maybe higher. I did something like this for 9 months, the catch was that I was moving in and out of the Schengen zone the whole time.

Met someone recently Father of 2, works in tech sales, wife is a consultant Says “we’re actually going to move to Europe next year” I asked if they have EU passports He says no I asked which of their companies are going to transfer/sponsor them He says they’re not going to tell their employers I asked how long they planned to be in Europe then He said indefinitely… just put the kids in local schools and enjoy their mornings given the time difference.. live a “simpler life” with less stress I then explained.. almost waiting for him to reveal the joke.. that they can’t just “move to Europe” and drop their kids in school and get cheap healthcare. They need to be citizens or have visas… formally update their residency… be legitimately employed locally… not to mention legit docs for things like landlord approvals… the list went on. He wasn’t joking, apparently. This grown adult thought they could just “move to Europe” illegally… and he didn’t even think about the legality of it at all Apparently he’s a “doer” type guy who just makes things happen Good luck to him

@ssggpp @pitdesi Thank you!

@m_2singya @pitdesi Downtown manhattan has a spot for the alphonsos....the king of mangoes

@pitdesi Never knew any of this, I will have to go and seek some out. Any spots that sell them in singles usually?

Why is it so hard? They were banned in the US until 2007... George Bush tried one when he visited India in 2006 and said "This is a hell of a fruit!" and negotiated to lift the ban... but the mangoes have to be irradiated, because Indian mangoes turn to mush if you use hot water (like they do for Mexican mangoes) The season is only 2.5 months long, and it's a 7-day sprint: harvest, irradiate at one of the few certified facilities, get USDA inspection, send it on a passenger jet, customs, customer. They're picked ripe-ish, bruise easily, and don't travel well. Sea freight is too slow for quality. If there is any paperwork error, the USDA destroys the whole shipment. they are ~$50-65 a box this year, up from $40-45 last year... freight costs from the war have impact here. Mexican mangoes are like $12 a box but don't taste anything like the ones from India

@mmmordred @LinkofSunshine What percentage of cases do you think these two cases fall into? What % do you think are modified cars / bikes?

@LinkofSunshine great way to punish the unfortunate who get their catalytic converter stolen, or who cant afford a new exhaust on their shitbox. moreover its just a decibel and photo? sounds easy to make false positives.

These things are an absolute god send for NYC I love them so much

@the_quadg0d doing 4 back flips in a row

@AFhamster @TakesPizza @BananaBall_ I think it’s more of people that would enjoy theater, and this is the sports version of that.

@TakesPizza @BananaBall_ Same. Like these are real people who exist and shop at the same heb as me? What is the appeal? I feel like a hater typing that too but I’m just trying to understand it

Texas A&M is ROCKING hours before the Savannah Bananas and Texas Tailgaters start the game at 8pm ET

@stevienipz @Joshmbivins Procurement teams like to check notes

@Joshmbivins Wdy have to even have a call about?

Anthropic sales call was goated. 15 mins. Guy shows up basically says “It is what it is, player. Here is the link to sign up.” Then bounces.

Live from SlopCon NYC: a bunch of forward deployed slop cannons pushing to production from a warehouse in Chinatown

@AndersonBobo_ @CitiusMag Deserves all the aura but somehow in the shadows

One of the biggest aura gambles of all time

@stalmico @sterlingcrispin People who don’t understand it and trust naval will not do them harm

@sterlingcrispin who's actually buying this pitch?

The Plan? Start a VC fund for "everyone" but only invest in companies they've already missed at insane valuations deep into series G rounds. We'll charge them 3% for something they can't even sell. Think about it. Hedge fund fees for VC illiquidity with mutual fund marketing.

@mando_white @KnowerOfBans @mashonato Have you checked the demand side lately?

@KnowerOfBans @mashonato The prices mean there is plenty of demand you idiot

If you live in a host city there seems to be a very good chance you can get tickets for less than $100 if you wait a few days before the game. The ticket sale numbers do not look good.

@FluentInFinance Just finished a 10 rounder, 4.5 hours today alone.

I turned down a 4th round job interview and 3 people called me to ask why. I told them their interview process is too long and it required me to take time off work each time.

@neet_sol Someone with their full soul intact

having an unemployed friend to text during work is essential, they’re the window of your prison cell

@samanfarid @JackKuhr Do you think we just keep seeing new entrants like this taking less and less for the basic service? And drivers continually switching to the neeer one that allows them to earn more?

@JackKuhr The take rate on these platforms is just unsustainably high. Same with Airbnb

So ridiculous, yall must know. For the last month I’ve been using Empower ride hailing app in NYC. (They charge drivers a monthly fee instead of taking 20%, I believe). Cars always available. And always much, much cheaper than Uber. Tonight was particularly insane. LaGuardia airport to home: - Uber: $125 (criminal) - Empower: $30 IDK guys it feels like $5 Via days. Don’t know which good soldier built this app, or why. But it feels like they’ve punched a hole in the absurd NYC ride hailing pricing schemes that we all had come to just accept.

@SelfUpset @LincolnRestler @EmilyAssembly @ReElectNydia @Gonzalez4NY @CMReynoso34 @NYCParks Bc it’s not a pyramid scheme

@m_2singya @LincolnRestler @EmilyAssembly @ReElectNydia @Gonzalez4NY @CMReynoso34 @NYCParks Why would there be removable post for a fucking pyramid scheme

McCarren Park’s asphalt field is getting a big – green – $15 million upgrade. But we need your input on the redesign! Join our virtual community input meeting on May 7 at 6:30PM. Register at: bit.ly/mccarrenupgrade

@qobtography @zoink Hard one since they own the models, but I don’t dislike it.

@zoink Moving the abstraction of software creation up a level benefits figma greatly. The reality is anthropic has no choice but to try and compete with Figma as models commoditizes. The funnest reality is the one where Figma comes out and competes with Claude Code.

Just walked by a tour group outside radegast that was being done in French, Williamsburg is officially cooked

@SelfUpset @LincolnRestler @EmilyAssembly @ReElectNydia @Gonzalez4NY @CMReynoso34 @NYCParks There’s enough space for both and pickleball can be just a court top and have removable posts.

@LincolnRestler @EmilyAssembly @ReElectNydia @Gonzalez4NY @CMReynoso34 @NYCParks Bring back the actual baskets And cancel the occupation pickleball
