@Object_Zero_ @grok I’m going to let you think on your line of reasoning here for a bit.

@tedhessing @grok Where did the US dollar come from?

In case you haven’t worked it out yet… • SpaceX and Blue Origin are the railroads. • The moon is the Louisiana purchase, Mars is the West Coast. • AI is the pioneers, and your kids and grandkids are the settlers. People ask… “But what is the business case for space?” The answer is “America”

@Object_Zero_ @grok Where does that assumed $ come from? What am I missing?

@tedhessing @grok what is the cost of land on Mars, assuming $1,000 billion colonisation budget?

@bitcoin_eagle @Object_Zero_ Yeah, that I can grasp. The idea that people will migrate to Mars just because it’s cheap still seems like it’s missing an economic driver to me.

@tedhessing @Object_Zero_ Mars unlocks nothing. But Moon unlocks cheap steel ingots on the Earth orbit

@rickjeff78 @hihimcfc Avg Joe here, not investor, looking to learn. Doesn’t there need to be a buyer of the debt? Are we confident they exist at the volume needed? Fed would normally step in if yields get too high and print. But doesn’t that get limited by inflation?

@hihimcfc Money printer go vroooom. M2 is climbing and likely to continue. Dollars need to go somewhere. As long as bond yields stay relatively low, it'll go into equities.

- The market is 2% above a level it consolidated at for 6 months. - We have a President and Treasury Secretary who are manipulating oil futures down. - Next Fed Chair Warsh is going to monetize debt. - Global events are building bearish sentiment and positioning. If you don't think it is going higher when bombs stop dropping, you're going to be getting real mad soon.

@elonmusk Why would it not just reverse? A human driver does an N point turn due to skeletal construction and forward-facing eyes. Does a robotaxi need do the same? Is it for passenger experience?

@NCAAFNation247 @treadmillhorse At least 3 of these guys have worn a Hokies uniform; Grunk, Pop Watson, Davi

2026 #FBS QBs I'm expecting a BREAKOUT Season from 🔥

@therealdcunna So you’re saying there’s a chance…

And, below the #Hokies in that region, Kentucky vs. James Madison in Morgantown.

Virginia Tech women's basketball is in the NCAA Tournament as a No. 9 seed. #Hokies will play No. 8 seed Oregon in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns are the No. 1 seed.

Being a collection of technically dead brain cells in a Petri dish playing doom could accurately describe me at 13.

@Rothmus These aren’t separate franchise. Idiocy’s is prequel to terminator which is prequel to matrix

@OX_VT That’s a lot of players from the footprint!

Updated '26 Transfer Class for the Hokies - Ranked 17th (3rd in the ACC) per 247

@kolby_crawford @EvanGWatkins247 @MatejS247 @DougBowman247 @247SportsPortal Tyler Bowen product?

Have placed a Crystal Ball pick in favor of Virginia Tech for Ohio State transfer OT Justin Terry. Intel: 247sports.com/college/virgin…

@Coach_Elby Accommodations booked. 12 deep. Let’s go!

#HokieNation come check us out. We’re all in this together 🦃

@kolby_crawford @EvanGWatkins247 @247SportsPortal Colby, any idea what our safety room looks like currently?

NEW: Virginia Tech WR/S Devin Alves has entered the transfer portal

@kolby_crawford @EvanGWatkins247 @247SportsPortal @MatejS247 @DougBowman247 Third times the charm? Last 2 proven pass catchers we signed from the 23 & 24 cycles weren’t on the field much.

Back from the snow and back in the saddle. Have placed a Crystal Ball pick in favor of Virginia Tech for Duke transfer WR Que'Sean Brown. Intel: 247sports.com/college/virgin…

@therealdcunna @Caius_Carpenter @WillStewartTSL The #GoACC moment of all GoACC moments. Coastal chaos on a national scale. With the divisions gone, all that coastal chaos had to go somewhere.

@WillStewartTSL Funniest thing: Canes could win a national title before an ACC title.

What an accomplishment for the ACC, to see their league champion make the national championship.

@treadmillhorse Are we really going to be blue chip ratio relevant?

#Hokies loading up on ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s

@HokieHangover @AdamSchefter @MikeMcDanielSI I heard Franklin was bringing @MikeMcDanielSI to VT as an analyst. That’s why he’s been on so many VT pods over the years.

@AdamSchefter It's okay @MikeMcDanielSI, you'll always have us.

ESPN Sources: Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross met with McDaniel this week to discuss the season. After that meeting and reflection, Ross decided to move on.

@PaulCollins247 Paul, any word on LB coach (s)? I saw news of a few leaving. Unsure if Pry will be a walk around DC or have positional responsibilities.

Excited to announce Virginia Tech has locked in its safeties coach and Co-DC. Hokie Nation, welcome Lamar Morgan. A highly regarded coach and recruiter from Michigan. James Franklin continues to build a super staff — and don’t be surprised if some UM players follow. #HokieUp
