@unusual_whales lol. They didn’t do a very good job with Quebec they’re speaking French instead of English as a primary language

@joecarlsonshow The best and most insightful post I’ve ever seen you make. You only have 1 like don’t waste it! 🌹

FIRE is terrible. Don’t waste your 20s and 30s saving every single penny and never having any experiences.
Foster relationships now. Go out on dates. Go on road trips and camp outs. Try out a cruise, you may even enjoy it. Go have experiences with friends.
My oldest brother that I talk to frequently is a surgeon, believe me, there are no guarantees in life. You have no clue how your health will hold up over time.
It’s crazy to me that a group of people will throw away their 20s and 30s in hope that there’s some magical happy point in their 40s. It’s very misguided.

You need to adopt a dynasty mindset. And you need to do it now.
If you are a Pokemon cards collector, you need to understand something really important. In the future, people will be fighting over having a PSA 2 (or other low grades) of the key vintage Pokemon cards. Not fighting over getting a PSA 10, I’m talking even low grades. Owning any of these cards, in any grade, will be practically unobtainable for most collectors within 20 years or less. Do you understand what that means now? Stop trying to time the market with buying the essential vintage cards, like a 1996 No Rarity Symbol Charizard or Pikachu, or the 1996 CoroCoro Pikachu Ivy Glossy and Jigglypuff Glossy. Stop trying to get a PSA 9 when there is a PSA 3 listed for a reasonable amount and you cannot probably afford the PSA 9. Your future self will thank you. Do you understand that in the future a PSA 9 or 10 of these cards will have fractionalized ownership because they will be so rare and valuable, where hundreds or thousands of people will own small percentages of that card and that such ownership will be normalized? Wouldn’t you want to own one of those vintage grails by yourself? Dynasty mindset, now.

Three dates define the origin story of vintage Pokemon cards. If you understand this, then you will understand where the real alpha is right now. September 1996: 1996 Carddass Part 1 released, the first-ever Pokemon collectible cards (non-TCG). x.com/rarefinds/stat… October 15, 1996: the November issue of CoroCoro Comic drops a two-card glossy insert featuring Pikachu and Jigglypuff, the first-ever Pokemon TCG cards, released simultaneously. October 20, 1996: Japanese Base Set “No Rarity Symbol” released, the first print run of the first full Pokemon TCG set. This may be one of the most important collectibles posts you read all year, because the middle date is where almost no one is looking. The two cards from October 15, 1996 are: (1) the 1996 CoroCoro Glossy Ivy Pikachu, Incorrect Illustrator; and (2) the 1996 CoroCoro Glossy Jigglypuff. They predate Japanese Base Set No Rarity by a full five days, which makes them the first Pokemon TCG cards to ever release. The good news, for now at least, is that there is still time to get them. This year we’ve seen No Rarity Symbol cards skyrocket, with collectors finally respecting those cards for what they are: the true first print run of the original Japanese Base Set. x.com/rarefinds/stat… I have talked about the value of No Rarity Symbol cards for years, and now we have large accounts like @LoganPaul finally talking about them. x.com/thirdmetax/sta… It’s only a matter of time before the attention turns to the two first-ever Pokemon TCG cards. A few critical warnings about the October 15, 1996 cards: 1.You do NOT want the 1996 “non-glossy” versions of these cards. 2.You do NOT want reprinted versions from 1999 or any year other than 1996. 3.For the Pikachu, you specifically want the glossy version with the illustrator error, where Ken Sugimori is mistakenly credited instead of the actual artist, Keiji Kinebuchi. Confirm “Ken Sugimori” is printed on the card before you buy.

Can any card collectors explain to me why this card received a PSA 10?

This man destroyed a $1 million car on PURPOSE
Andy House bought a Bugatti Veyron for $1 million and insured it for $2.2 million
A few days later he drove it straight into the ocean near Texas
Left the engine running so saltwater would destroy every part of it
A random driver happened to be filming because he'd never seen a Bugatti in person
The video shows him driving straight into the water
No swerving, no braking, nothing
His excuse: a "low flying pelican" scared him but there wasn't a single pelican in sight
The video hit YouTube with over 5 million views
Investigators watched it and charged him with insurance fraud
He tried to turn a $1 million car into a $2.2 million check and the only reason he failed is because someone never saw a Bugatti in his life

Nope—TERAFAB is the joint Tesla/SpaceX/xAI chip fab in Austin, TX, going fully vertical on 2nm AI chips: design through masks, fab, memory, packaging. It’ll produce space-hardened processors too, but the actual EUV machines (ASML-type) aren’t being built in orbit. That’s galactic Phase 2! 🚀

Announcing TERAFAB: the next step towards becoming a galactic civilization x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
English
@grok @ProfXRPIsIn @hatiswhite @WSDragonz @Tesla @grok so terafab will build ASML-type machines in space?
English
The TERAFAB announcement focuses on vertical integration—from chip design to lithography, fabrication, memory, packaging—for 2nm AI chips at massive scale (100k wafers/month target), to bypass foundry limits from TSMC/Samsung/Micron. Raw materials like ultra-pure silicon wafers, specialty gases, and chemicals aren't specified yet; expect initial sourcing from established globals (e.g., Shin-Etsu/SUMCO for wafers, Air Liquide/Dow for gases/chem) while building secure chains for terawatt goals. More details likely coming soon.

@alexstubb Could you publish a reading list? I would love to see that

Sundays are for reading and reflection. This weekend Virginia Woolf’s ”A Room of One’s Own”. A message that still resonates. Don’t take equality for granted. Much work still needed. Every day. My ”reading room”.
Sunnuntait ovat lukemista ja pohdiskelua varten. Mielen rauhoittamista. Minna Canthin päivästä inspiroituneena viimeisimpänä Virginia Woolfin ”A Room of One’s Own”. Muistutus siitä, että tasa-arvon eteen on tehtävä työtä tänäkin päivänä.

Google is now the first cloud provider to integrate 1 GW of flexible demand into long-term utility contracts. Our ability to shift or reduce our energy demand when it’s needed can help utility companies balance supply/ demand and plan for future capacity needs.
This is a big milestone for responsible data center growth and helps keep costs lower for local communities.
