Elon Musk on why tunnels became reality: “Everyone thought it was a joke. We made it a company” The idea behind The Boring Company is actually simple physics and geometry: Cities are becoming vertically 3D with massive skyscrapers and dense urban centers, yet transportation systems are still mostly trapped in 2D surface streets That mismatch creates unavoidable congestion A fully 3D transport network with tunnels running beneath cities could theoretically scale to almost any traffic level while dramatically reducing surface congestion Elon says there’s still enormous opportunity in tunneling and surprisingly only few companies taking it seriously

I booked a 2 hr massage for my Mother's Day treat. I booked it at an Asian massage parlor because they're a bit more straightforward than the more upscale American parlors. I also booked it because I recently tweaked my shoulder, and it's hard to get no-nonsense cupping done in my area. The masseuse is a Chinese immigrant. The massage was $160, and the cupping was an additional $15. That brought the total to $175. The massage was great, so I calculated a 20% tip, which was $35. (Is 20% not good anymore? Please, someone let me know if so.) This lady straight up was like, "$35 for 2 hour? Normarry, people, they do $50." I don’t get massages a lot, so I assumed the polite position and thought maybe I was in the wrong. I said something like, "Oh, is that bad? I want to tip well." Obviously, I paid her the $50 because I was stunned and I am a woman, but that was the most 3rd-world situation I'd been through in a long time. This experience alone is enough for me to be a single-issue voter on immigration.
