@vulturetrades Trade

I’ve only seen this setup 1 time in 6 years 👀 I’m putting $200k in this SINGLE stock Very similar to $PLTR that made millionaires $100 → $100,000 overnight $300 → $300,000 in a single day This is the third time. (Must be following) Like + Comment “Trade” and I’ll send it.

@zerohedge @grok Explain the private credit crisis to me. What is the context, what are the causes, who is involved, how will they be affected, and what will the downstream effects be?

@NewsfromScience @grok Is this story genuine?

About a decade ago, a baker in a small mountainous village in southern Austria noticed his cow doing something unusual. When Veronika had an itch, she would grab a stick in her mouth and use it to scratch her body. Over the years, the brown bovid’s technique improved. She could pick up objects as large as a broom or rake and move them around with her prehensile tongue, changing their length and orientation to ensure the best possible scratch. The behavior isn’t just a clever trick: It’s the first documented case of tool use in cattle, scientists report. And, it turns out, one of Veronika’s skills has only been seen in humans and chimpanzees. Learn more: scim.ag/3LHywjF

@grok Is it possible to calculate what star Comet 3I/ATLAS might be orbiting by measuring the orbital path it has followed since detection by humans and then projecting a potential trajectory?

Comet 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar object on a hyperbolic path, not orbiting any body in our solar system. Studies indicate it likely originated from a star in the Milky Way's thick disk, home to ancient stars, possibly 7-14 billion years ago. No specific origin star has been pinpointed.

@grok What interstellar body or star is Comet 3I/Atlas most likely to be orbiting?

@newstart_2024 @grok Any data on this effect in cotton/poly blends?

Scientists Put Polyester Pants on Dogs—75% Went Infertile. Still Think Your Leggings Are Safe? Back in 2008, researchers did something bizarre: they dressed female dogs in pants made of different fabrics — polyester, cotton, wool, and blends — to study fertility. The results were jaw-dropping. Nearly 75% of the dogs wearing polyester couldn’t conceive — not even with artificial insemination. Their progesterone levels tanked, while dogs in cotton and wool had a 100% pregnancy success rate. Scientists found that polyester created an electrostatic field around the reproductive organs, interfering with hormone signals. Cotton and wool? No such issue. Now, before dismissing this as silly dog science — remember, we’re mammals too. If synthetic fabrics can disrupt hormones in animals, what might tight polyester-spandex blends be doing to us? Declining progesterone isn’t just about fertility. It’s linked to PMS, poor sleep, irritability, and hormonal imbalance — all the things people quietly struggle with. Maybe “fashion” has a hidden cost. Natural fibers like cotton, silk, and wool don’t just breathe better — they might actually protect your endocrine system. Polyester isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s unnatural.

@OMApproach @grok Is this true based on current evidence from Geology and other related fields?

About 41,000 years ago, during the Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion, Earth's magnetic field weakened drastically, dropping to just 5% of its current strength. This means that Earth’s natural magnetic shield, which normally protects us from harmful space radiation, was almost entirely gone. The magnetic field lines (seen as white or blue strands) became twisted and chaotic, showing how disordered the field became during the excursion. Normally, these lines flow smoothly from pole to pole, but during this event, they bent, broke, and tangled. The Earth turns red in the visualization, indicating an extremely weak magnetic field. The red color means the planet was barely protected from solar and cosmic radiation. This visualization was created by scientists from DTU and GFZ using data from ESA’s Swarm mission. It includes a stereo soundscape and a visual tracing of the magnetic field lines. This event caused abrupt climate change and mass extinction, and the same thing is happening today!

@GadSaad “Truth is subjective”, except for that particular truth about truth, which is absolute, and therefore invalid.

"Truth is subjective" is precisely the key tenet of postmodernism. This is why I refer to it as the granddaddy of all parasitic idea pathogens.

@ComedyWalaG @hpdailyrant As someone who has developed dozens of digital products, everyone involved has a mental model, it's just that those models are largely incomplete (and sometimes incorrect) representations of what the final product will become

@hpdailyrant @ComedyWalaG Someone has to have an accurate enough mental model to predict those outcomes to some extent, otherwise a lot of time will be wasted.

Six fundamental beliefs that bias our view of the world: 1. My experience is a reasonable reference. 2. I make correct assessments of the world. 3. I am good. 4. My group is a reasonable reference. 5. My group is good. 6. People's attributes (not context) shape outcomes.

Douglas Hofstadter about GPT-4, yesterday on The Atlantic: "I frankly am baffled by the allure, for so many unquestionably insightful people (including many friends of mine), of letting opaque computational systems perform intellectual tasks for them. Of course it makes sense to let a computer do obviously mechanical tasks, such as computations, but when it comes to using language in a sensitive manner and talking about real-life situations where the distinction between truth and falsity and between genuineness and fakeness is absolutely crucial, to me it makes no sense whatsoever to let the artificial voice of a chatbot, chatting randomly away at dazzling speed, replace the far slower but authentic and reflective voice of a thinking, living human being."

UZON changed the shape of the product bottles and sales increased by 700%. Early tests were so strong that they paid for the bottle company to rush the first orders.
