Changi Airport is so calm, almost zen. No lines, barely any people. Just perfectly clean bathrooms and smiling faces. What a bliss.

@gauravsbuilding you guys have a small bug
1) when you edit text on a slide show
2) it always says something went wrong when you try to save
3) it works when you refresh, but an annoying step

This is one of the things I hate the most about America. Everyone is a product. Your home is a product. Your family is a product. Your data is constantly sold, packaged and re-packaged and then used by the worst people on earth.
Junk mail and spam calls/texts never stop. People knock on your door while you’re eating dinner trying to sell you shit.
I’m pro capitalism but there’s a line between an optional value exchange versus surveilling/harassing every element of everyone’s life and offering them shitty services from grifters 24/7
This isn’t a normal way to live, and I think it’s part of the reason so many people in the US are paranoid, aggressive and mentally ill.
Drive 5 minutes down a highway? You’ll instantly see dozens of massive billboards for injury lawyers and divorce lawyers lol
Wanna go fishing down at the local park? Some HOA-brained boomer will call the cops on you and suddenly they’re asking if you have a “permit” to take your son fishing for an hour.
You know when you leave America for a while and just feel free-er/“lighter” etc? It’s because you finally stepped out of the world’s biggest extraction mechanism and just became a normal human again

Okay, I'm about to make some of you SMB owners very rich with this post lol What if I told you... there's a way to have one sales guy do the work of 20. Let's say you own a roofing, fence, deck, or construction company... did you know that you can buy high resolution same day satellite imagery? Some of you may know that, roofers especially. The mega roofing companies like Roof Maxx do this, but they pay $35 to $50 PER ROOF to review for storm damage. They also pay companies a lot of money to monitor hail damage in areas. This is still a clunky method that is very expensive. Well fuck that... it's 2026 you guys. Now you can do it, but not only that... you can do it MUCH better and MUCH cheaper. Stop wasting your time and money sending dudes on the ground to go property scouting. This is how you do it... Buy the satellite data, but not per roof, buy the high res images of entire areas where the storm went through. It's like $500. Feed that data into Gemini 2.5 Pro. It's the best AI vision model available. Have it scope every property for homes with damage. Cross reference the flagged properties with parcel data and map a route for your sales guy to go direct to damaged properties only. BUT WAIT... It gets better... Vibe code an app that does it. Connect to NOAA and Open-meteo API. It's FREE dude. 1. Set up automated triggers for severe weather. 2. When a weather event is triggered, it calls to the satellite imagery provider API and pulls the images. 3. The images get picked up by Gemini 2.5 Pro and scanned. 4. Properties get flagged and address matched and triggers the next step 5. Nano Banana 2 reads the storm data to generate a specific storm event mailer and triggers the next step. 6. That mailer is sent through API to a Direct Mail provider with SAME DAY service. 7. Mailers hit the mailboxes before the other companies even get out of bed. BONUS is you didn't even have to get out of bed either. It's automatic man. 8. The addresses are batch scheduled and sent to your CRM for your sales rep to hit them directly. He better get up early. I built this for fun. It works. But I cheaped out my test with Google Satellite imagery because I don't own any of those types of companies man I'd like my Ferrari to be Red please. Thank You. 🫡

90s nostalgia is intense enough now that someone should just open a dedicated 90s holiday resort. Check in your smartphones on arrival. Every lodge has a CRT TV with N64 and a stack of tapes. Blockbuster on site. Four channels and a TV Guide. Bennigan’s and Pizza Hut for dining.

You used to have your bet ideas in the shower, now you have a waterproof speaker. You used to get lost in thought waiting for the train, now you have a phone to fill the gap. You used to daydream on long flights, now there's a screen in your hand and on the seat in front of you. You used to think on your morning commute, now you have a podcast playing before you leave the house.
We used to stare in to the sky or into a fire and let our minds drift, now we have TVs and phone to replace that. We filled every silence and lost all of our peace, creativity and ideas that lived within that silence.

That road is Route 1 in Iceland. A week driving it costs roughly $2,500 per person. Flights from the US run $500-600 round trip. Gas is $8-9 per gallon. A glacier hike is $125. A night in a decent hotel near Vatnajökull is $160-200.
Total tab for two people to spend a week staring at that glacier instead of a monitor: somewhere around $7,000.
The median American household earns that in about 18 working days. Sitting in a room. Staring at a screen.
The people who actually drive that road on a random Tuesday in March fall into two categories: retirees who stared at screens for 40 years and saved enough to stop, or remote workers who figured out how to stare at a screen from Reykjavik instead of a cubicle in Ohio.
Both paths run through the screen.
The photo is real. The freedom it represents costs $7,000 and 10 days of PTO. The device you’re reading this complaint on is the same device that books the flight.

Spot on with the Singapore-Dubai parallel - but the stakes are even more explosive than most realize.
If the PRC launches its long-planned invasion of Taiwan, it will need to make sure the United States stays out of it.
That means it must first neutralize America’s nearest major forward-deployed force which is the US 7th Fleet based in Yokosuka, Japan.
We’re talking 60-70 warships, 150-180 aircraft, and over 27,000 personnel.
To keep that fleet out of the fight, Beijing would have no choice but to strike Japanese soil and bases preemptively - dragging sovereign Japan directly into the war. Japanese PM Takaichi enraged the Chinese for merely saying that this constitutes a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan and implying that Japan might be drawn into the conflict.
The 7th fleet relies on logistics and sustainment from Task Force 73 / Logistics Group Western Pacific which is headquartered in the Republic of Singapore.
Singapore’s role as the critical maintenance, resupply, and repair hub for US naval forces in the region makes it Target #2.
Just like Iran hit UAE facilities for hosting American support, the PLA would have to take out Singapore’s ports, airfields, and logistics nodes to choke off the flow of fuel, ammo, and spares.
In other words, there's a huge potential for a regional cataclysm: direct attacks on Japan and Singapore, the Malacca Strait turned into a war zone, global shipping paralyzed, and the entire US-led alliance structure under fire.
The idea that China is pursuing “peaceful development” is hard to believe when you consider its military buildup - hypersonic missiles, carrier-killers, anti-access/area-denial systems - that seem to prepare them to deal with exactly this problem of a regional fight for control and navigation of the seas.
Not many people are aware that there are 3,000 active Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) troops on rotational deployments throughout each year in Taiwan. While this is for military training (it's been ongoing since 1975), this could further complicate things for Singapore in a Taiwan conflict scenario. These troops might be trapped or become bargaining chips during a blockade or invasion.
Anyway, tl;dr: Singapore likely won't be able to stay out of it as the chokepoint it sits in will probably come into play

I’m now in Singapore, and I just can’t stop thinking about the uncomfortable parallels between here and Dubai. Both are very modern and considered business and tourism friendly. But both are in dangerous neighborhoods, along strategic choke points, whether the Strait of Hormuz or Strait of Malacca. Whoever controls these channels is of utmost importance during crisis or war. Meanwhile, Iran retaliated against UAE for its US military support, and I can’t guarantee China while invading Taiwan wouldn’t do the same against Singapore for its logistical and maintenance support of US military assets.
