RiseUp

Nearly 6 years later, the app I developed RUClosed, is still up and running and reporting on closings ❄️❄️❄️

@QTRResearch @SenWarren I’ll buy you a sub to QTR if you can’t afford it

@LawrenceLepard @RoyWhite27 You could try Little St Simon’s Island off the Georgia coast. Paulson and his wife Wendy bought the island saportareport.com/hank-and-wendy…

@RoyWhite27 I would if I knew where to send it.

Paulson doing this at this moment is a huge clue. Think about it. He has been silent for years. Now he comes out and foams the runway for some grand plan to do YCC. Coincidence? I don't think so, this cements my belief that they are cooking up a Big Print plan. Bessent and Warsh probably put him up to this. Fascinating stuff. A major trial balloon. @SimonDixonTwitt @LukeGromen

@steakshapiro No way! Howie, the lawyer?

@steakshapiro Softball Country Club Buckhead Diner - I was sitting in the corner booth when the drunk driver slammed into it … yes, THAT booth PJ Haley’s - where the Browns Backers Club met

Okay Atlanta what are the great events or places that helped define your 20's and 30's not around anymore. -Chattahoochee River Race. -Softball Country Club. -Run N Shoot. -Music Midtown -Backstreets.

Ken also ported a subset of Unix that ran on top of DOS, called it The Thompson Toolkit. Funny story, I was building a DOS-based scs that ran on top of Ken’s port. Had a question about it, found a phone number for Ken, called it and ended up having a nice conversation with his wife. Did get the question answered too!

No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, But Ken Thompson might be the biggest geek who ever lived. 🫡 And almost nobody knows his name. At 28, he created Unix. > The OS that inspired every modern operating system on the planet. At 66, the age when most engineers retire, he co-created Go. > A language millions of developers love, and used to build most of modern Devops tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana, etc. But that is still not the full story. - Dennis Ritchie built on Thompson’s B to create C. - Linus built Linux inspired by Thompson’s Unix. - He co-invented UTF-8, the encoding behind every website you visit. - He built grep, a tool developers still use daily in 2024. The internet you are scrolling right now exists because of him. And he did everything without Claude, cursor, ChatGPT. Ken Thompson. Remember the name.

@BuzzPatterson great story but why “Sailing”? Now I’m gonna have that darned song in my head all day 😂

USAF Pilot Training is a slog. One year of waking at o’dark thirty. Flying 2-3 times a day and being evaluated. “Finals” week every week. And you lose half of your friends to washouts. It’s challenging. One morning, I was the first aircraft to takeoff on a solo in the T-38. I trained at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. At 6 AM, I was #1 for takeoff. I lowered my canopy and locked it. I plugged in my Walkman and played “Sailing” by Christopher Cross. It was a gorgeous morning. Low clouds were hugging the glens and the rivers. Sun was coming up. Gorgeous. I took off and climbed out. I looked down on the houses and farms thinking “here I am.” At about 1000’, I snapped off a quick aileron roll. Why? Because I could.😎

@SemiAnalysis_ We almost missed our flight out of SYR on the day the deal was announced as all the top politicians flew in for the announcement and dog and pony show. President Biden, Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, Gov Hochul, they all wanted to get in on it that day. That was October 2022

Micron’s $100B megafab in NY is at risk of delay due to just 6 “concerned citizens” and their frivolous lawsuit. (1/10) 🧵

@liftblog @GoreMountain great discussion of what happened yesterday at Gore, complete with video at the end: nyskiblog.com/forum/threads/…

From @GoreMountain: "We are currently experiencing an issue with the Northwoods Gondola. Several of our lifts and mountain areas are currently closed as our patrollers work on an evacuation of the gondola."

@SnowBrains To all of you that say NO, that’s cool, stay at home. But it’s been a great season with more in the forecast ❄️ 😎 @SKITHEEAST

✈️ ➡️🏔️ West Coast Skiers: would you ever consider traveling to the East Coast for a ski trip due to the bad weather out West? ⛷️🤔

@KellyAyotte @loonmtn @SkiNewHampshire Is that Joe with you? #ThetaXi #CMU

Keeping the Super 603 Ski Day fun going at Loon Mountain! Glad to have Councilor Kenney along with us. ⛷️ And of course, we had to take a waffle break! 🧇

@Riddle_Lincoln powder day at McCauley Mountain in Old Forge #SkiTheEast

Right now in the Adirondacks

@squidbilly929 @929MorningShift @MPJohnson79 @AliMacRadio @_dylanmathews first order, make the red helmets permanent

Welcome to the Matt Ryan “El Presidente” era… @929MorningShift @MPJohnson79 @AliMacRadio @_dylanmathews

They had a great offense also! Don't you remember the "Fridge?"

@RiseUpReader both misses were from > 50 yds …. but yeah, Koo’s cooked

Younghoe Koo waived by the Giants. Koo missed both his FG attempts vs Washington

@Jimfrombaseball Jim, I love reading these stories of players I grew up with. Keep ‘em coming and thank you!

"Johnny Bench had tremendous durability, never got uptight and had a great sense of humor. At an All-Star game, I was on the mound and Frank Howard came to bat, all six foot seven inches and 255 lbs. of him. Frank was a terrifying sight at the plate, hitting wicked line drives down the third base line. As I stood on the mound to face him, I noticed my third baseman, Tony Perez, had cautiously backed up into short left field. So had the shortstop. I thought to myself, 'What am I supposed to do, standing just 60 feet away? I can't move back into a safe area!' I knew I'd have to try and throw him fastballs inside or he might kill somebody, probably me, with a liner. I looked at Johnny Bench, my catcher, for a sign. I saw three fingers for a slow change-up. Couldn't believe it. I looked again, and there were the three fingers. I looked up through his mask and saw him laughing at me. So I started laughing, too. Right there on the mound at the middle of an All-Star game!" Tom Seaver

@PureandEasy13 @KevG163 I miss the paper tickets. Digital tickets in your phones wallet just don’t mean as much.

October 25, 1986 ⚾️ "Little roller up along first..." NBC's Vin Scully calls the dramatic, unforgettable conclusion of Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The #Mets' Ray Knight scores on Mookie Wilson's roller that slips under the glove of Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner.

@JohnFricke do you trust your kicker > 50 yards out?

What’s the meeting in Blank’s office gonna be like this morning? - 10 on field! 3 man rush on 3rd and 13 - Shotgun and no Bijan on 4th and 1 - Delay of game penalty in key drive - Botch end of half w grounding - Penix stayed in hurt? - 18 rushing attempts?

Here's my theory - They did a secret audit of Ft. Knox and found it empty. Now they're scrambling to replace the contents before anyone finds out.

@Matt_Bove Matt, I was at the game. Give the young Falcons defense some credit. They played one heck of a game and rose to the occasion!

simply put, the buffalo bills offense failed them tonight

@schulace1 @powderski Yes it does! ❄️👻

@powderski Whitefish has em too

Isn’t this place beautiful?🎿⛷️
