@adcock_brett Welcome to the 3️⃣ club

Capital gains tax shouldn’t exist. I risk my money. I build the business. I make the investment. I do the work. I take the risk. So why the hell should the government take a cut of my success? They risk nothing. They create nothing. They just take. Parasites. F’en parasites.

Most short-term rental PMS platforms were built for a different era. Disconnected systems. Fragmented data. Accounting treated as an afterthought. Modern hospitality infrastructure unlocks what comes next across: • Operations • Finance • Automation • Intelligence That’s what we’re building at Direct. The PMS built for what comes next. #proptech #shorttermrentals

@PalmerLuckey USPS raked in almost $16B in rev from junk mail last year...still lost $9B 🤯

It is insane that America has given a monopoly on letter delivery to a quasi-governmental agency that then uses it to flood our homes with useless garbage against our will. America would never allow FedEx, UPS, DHL, or anyone else to force this on us.

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail. Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

The headline reads like Elon made a strategic mistake. The actual story is that he made a financial calculation. xAI’s GPU cluster is one of the most expensive depreciating assets in tech history, and idle GPUs depreciate at the same rate as utilized ones. If xAI cannot fully consume 220k GPUs internally, renting capacity to a competitor is not weakness, it is amortizing the bet by getting Anthropic to pay for the buildout. The interesting part is what this signals about the broader compute economy. Three years ago, “share infrastructure with a direct competitor” would have been unthinkable in tech. Now it is becoming standard because the unit economics of frontier AI demand it. NVIDIA is selling to everyone. Anthropic just took $40B from Google, the company whose DeepMind division competes with them daily. Microsoft hosts OpenAI but also funds rival models. The “everyone competes with everyone, and also funds everyone” structure is the new normal, and it is what happens when the cost of building anything serious in this space exceeds what any single company can carry alone. For users, the practical implication is the rate limit increase. For the industry, the implication is that compute is becoming the common infrastructure layer, and the differentiation moves to what each lab does on top of it. The model is the product. The compute is the road. Roads get shared.

@DrFaggotPHD @TheJakeHanna @mhp_guy Ok fine but have you seen the trees?

@TheJakeHanna @mhp_guy Wow, water falling from a cliff. No way. Texas could never

"Living in Dallas is the worst." I moved my business here 12 years ago: My kids are in a 10/10 school district. I live on 3 acres with no HOA and I'm only 30 mins from downtown Dallas and 35 mins from DFW airport. I'm within 45 minutes of a 6 different pro sports teams. Every band and touring musical travels here. Countless amazing restaurants. My property has appreciated by over $1m in a decade I'm buying more land 30 mins away in the path of growth for only $12k/acre I can fly direct to Dubai, Bozeman, basically anywhere. No state income taxes. The more you make, the more you save. Strong Christian/LDS family values. Tons of Indians (awesome people BTW). Cheap contractors. VERY pro business. Pretty freaking hot weather but ice cold A/C. :) Youth sports culture is kinda out of control. Property taxes will murder you NGL. Don't like it? Don't move here. I've lived in Houston, too and boy let me tell you...We've got it good here.

@Vatterontt 'This is some bullshit'

@cJbOxyEEt @Vatterontt 😂

Everything I know about Bryan Johnson is against my will.

@srbyrne @sweatystartup "Agent - show me my checking and credit card account balances" * Worked for 10 seconds * "Sure thing. I've generated a dashboard to view your checking and credit card account balances." "Why does this look different than the one you generated for me yesterday?"

Include me in this same head space. Unless humans are removed from the equation entirely, I’m having a hard time grasping how humans, who not only like predictability, but they cognitively rely on it for sound decision making, will be able to be productive without some level of interface consistency.

People are literally losing their mind. Need some more space in the loony bin.

No matter how many times I listen to this, I cannot get over how incredible this sounds live! #TalkTalk

whoever named the amoeba knocked it out of the park, that’s what that thing is

@mustufa4socials @ChrisDiNicolas 😆😆😆

@ChrisDiNicolas Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll QA my pieces more going forward.

@doctorcalf The crumpled up $20 part is solid gold

I went to a white trash wedding with my ex wife years ago. She’s a very tall beautiful blonde woman so she was always getting attention from dudes. The grooms dad noticed her and like locked onto her. He kept hitting on her and insulting me. Like “hey hot stuff what are you doing with this short guy” This fucker was probably 60ish and had a mouth that looked like Gary Busey. I started getting really annoyed and thought should I just follow him into the bathroom and smack him? I ultimately decided to let it go. If I picked a fight with the grooms dad I’ll probably get my ass kicked by the wedding party. And he was just old. At the reception he comes up to me with a $20 bill and said go get me a drink. I was fucking furious and replied “fuck you, you buck toothed son of a bitch” I crumbled the money into a ball and threw it. He huffed a little and took off. A minute later his groom son started flipping out and threw a very sloppy punch which I easily ducked and a wall of people broke it up. The bride claimed she was injured during this. She called an ambulance for attention and they wrapped her foot up. I didn’t press charges when the cops came because I would be pissed too if my dad said someone was fucking with him, even though that was a complete lie. The next morning my ex wife’s friend was like “Nate had a lucky night, he found a crumbled up $20 bill at the reception.” The bride ended up cheating on that guy with a male stripper a few years later and DMed me asking me to testify about my “assault” in court so she would look better when she divorced this guy. And that my friends, is a white trash wedding.

@Cynthiasmith077 @abcdentminded You mean a matchhead-size amount of salt

@abcdentminded I do this along with a pinch of salt, great coffee

My dad started putting a matchhead-size amount of baking soda in his coffee grounds to counteract the acidity when brewing and it's the best coffee I've ever had

@abcdentminded Americans will use any unit of measurement beside the metric system. Proud moment right here.

One of my favorite movies in middle school was called Congo. I just rewatched it for the first time and now I'm convinced I was legitimately retarded in middle school.
