God is everything

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out. Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc. Great guy, I'm happy for him. But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness. What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could. Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe. Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach. Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act. Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts. Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides. Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra. ----------------- When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers. Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

The Anduril supply chain is worth paying attention to. $OPTX - Syntec Optics just announced participation in what they describe as "the largest effort of its kind to equip every U.S. soldier with superhuman perception and decision-making capabilities." That exact phrase appears in Anduril's EagleEye announcement. Anduril took the $22 Billion IVAS contract from Microsoft. Now building AR helmets fusing night vision, AI, and battlefield data for every soldier. $OPTX makes the polymer optics. Lighter than glass. Lower cost. High performance. They claim to be the largest independent manufacturer in the U.S. with full vertical integration. The numbers: $148M market cap ~$28M annualized revenue 5.3x P/S 15.3% EBITDA margin H1 2025 82% insider ownership ~$20M free float NDAA now mandates domestic sourcing for defense optics. China currently dominates polymer optics production globally. This is not a pre-revenue bet. It is a micro-cap component supplier with real earnings and potential exposure to a generational defense program.

@ExRP2022 @Ticket_Help2022 @Ticketmaster @Metallica Are you serious? Just snake pit? I am 1172 now

@Ticket_Help2022 @Ticketmaster @Metallica Nothing. This is insane. They only had snake pit tickets remaining. How is it that I’m 432 in line when the queue first opened and there are literally no tickets (seats).

Looks like @ticketmaster is having issues already with @metallica queues. Website seems entirely broken.

Folk’s…This AI-era meme about the “Circular Investment Cycle,” is hilarious!🤣 Here’s the narrative… These companies invest in each other and then become each other’s customers to drive adoption… This is exactly what they’re doing! It’s the Vertical Stacking Strategy! This narrative is being passed around like it’s some kind of modern financial breakthrough or scam! IT’S NOT! It’s a 150-year-old ecosystem build-out playbook from the 1800s… Railroads financed land developers so there would be freight to move across the rails. Auto manufacturers funded parts suppliers so tooling could be built and sold right back into their OWN assembly lines. Telecom companies financed enterprise deployments so traffic would run over the networks they were expanding. Semiconductor firms financed OEMs to commit to chip volume. Microsoft invested in developers so they would build for Windows. Cisco financed customers so they could afford Cisco gear. Amazon funded sellers who then ran their businesses on AWS. Nobody called that a “Circular Loop,” it was just called making sure your ecosystem didn’t die before it reached escape velocity! So when you see: Nvidia invests in OpenAI OpenAI buys Nvidia GPUs OpenAI invests in CoreWeave CoreWeave leases Nvidia GPUs and sells compute back to OpenAI Microsoft funds AI labs who then standardize on Azure SoftBank borrows against Arm to fund OpenAI You’re not witnessing some newly discovered AI capital structure or scam… You’re watching vendor financing, demand seeding, and vertical stack stabilization! Same tactics used to build every major platform industry since the 1800s. Same cycle, same tactics just bigger checks. Do your homework! Be careful who you outsource you’re thinking to!

Average White Band - Work To Do

SCHWEIZER: A top senator on the Mexican National Defense Committee has stated, "Mexicans are in OUR territories: CA, NV, TX, UT, NM, AZ, KS, OK, CO, and WY. We're going to take back the territory that was stolen from us." Mexico runs 53 consulates in the US and they're organizing anti-ICE protests and meddling in our politics.

Two families gave their vaccine injured children this high silica content water & their children are now speaking better. Why? Because silica removes toxic aluminum that affects cranial nerve function. There’s OTHER silica water options as well if you don’t like Fiji. Just Ask!

They put calorie counters on food. How about putting an energy tracker on every LLM query.
