Taking Stock

@BowTiedBroke @MichaelGuimarin Check out Miyabi. They’re basically a better shun. Source: I have a few of both.

@MichaelGuimarin 4th recommendation for Shun in 3 minutes of posting this. Will definitely be looking into these.

I need a new knife set for my kitchen. I’m not a gourmet chef so I don’t need a $5,000 set, just something that is good for cutting steak, fruit, veggies, etc. What’s the best knife set you’ve purchased for kitchen use?

@Glendaragnarson @CollinRugg Welcome to twitter

@CollinRugg This plane was picking up ocean water, correct? So many people posted that you can’t use ocean water to fight fires due to the saltwater negatively affecting the soil.

NEW: FBI has launched an investigation to find the drone operator who put a 3x6 hole in Canada's Super Scooper aircraft which was fighting the LA fires. The plane was initially grounded but thankfully, two more Super Scoopers are on the way, according to The War Zone. "I’d just like to stress, that technique, using that super scooper aircraft, are our most effective technique to fight fires like this, and when this happens, it puts everybody’s lives at risk," said the assistant director at the FBI’s LA Field Office. The Super Scooper skims across the surface of the water, quickly picking water up before dumping it on the fires.

@joecarlsonshow While I mostly agree… let’s not get ahead of ourselves with the “top end audio devices”

Zuckerberg mocking Apple for not being innovative is quite something. They build top end MacBooks that beat out competition on every category. They build top end audio devices with AirPods. Top end smart watch with Apple Watch. Apple Silicon that beat out Intel at their own game. Meanwhile what exactly is the biggest innovation Meta has come out with. Threads, a direct copy of Twitter/x? Or the glasses/headsets that currently nobody is using?

@Khalifa_Vis @mynamebedan The man has no integrity… everything he does is for self enrichment and he doesn’t it all under the guise of advancing humanity or other similarly good sounding ideals

elon lost the trust of all gamers overnight. boosting your account and lying about it is the worst offense. incredibly cringe, fragile ego on full display

TikTok is valued at ~$100 billion There’s only one reason why you’d willingly burn that much money instead of selling the company

@NFL_DovKleiman He looks like a poor mans Justin Herbert

J.J. McCarthy was caught walking around on the sideline during Sunday night's game. What do you notice?

@ThaJungleKiDD @NFL_DovKleiman You must have missed last game

@kevinvdahlgren They are using it. They’re literally scooping it up with planes and dumping it

Is there any reason why they can’t use salt water to take out the fire?

@ACpoker0271 @wiseguyinsider @cjchristian00 @nflrums You must not watch many Chiefs games

@wiseguyinsider @cjchristian00 @nflrums it would be a first down and no it wouldn’t be too easy because if it’s hard to draw a pass interference on a 4th and 20

RULE CHANGE: The #NFL will consider replacing the onside kick with an alternative proposal that has been mentioned in years past. Instead of attempting an onside kick, teams would get one down to convert a 4th-and-20, and if they get 20 yards, then they would maintain possession of the ball.

@44ist @_wsage Difficult to defend but also incredibly risky.

Apparently the NFL doesn’t believe in physics. Bo Nix throws a lateral while running 15 mph… oh, gasp, but not the ball! Newsflash: velocity is a thing. It was a lateral. Clear as day. Rugby gets it. Need to adopt the momentum rule to laterals

@RobertMSterling I thought this was assumed

You can see where I’m going with this. A casual perusal of the data shows that this isn’t a program for the top 0.1% of talent, as it’s been described. This is simply a way to recruit hundreds of thousands of relatively lower-wage IT and financial services professionals.

EY also has the largest share of employers seeking visas for finance-related jobs, followed by investment banks Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, and Citibank.

@Matt_Pinner A lot of us roamed free in the late 90s

@Austen Tethering is the easiest thing known to man. I just open my WiFi and click my cell phone

Why can I not buy a MacBook with cellular data built in? I do not want to tether. I want to just open my MacBook and have it connected wherever I am.

@tylerjohnson_59 Did you hand make the bags? If not, how did you first find someone to make the bags?

5400 toddler golf bags. 2800 toddler golf club sets. 6000 total orders. All 50 states. 8 countries. Completely bootstrapped from my two stall garage. 🧵A look back at 2024 ⬇️

@dutchdalton992 @wdunnin39926 @USTechWorkers You don’t have enough people? Or don’t have enough people willing to work full time in tech for minimum wage? Honest question

I don’t have to. I work in the industry. Have for 25 yrs. I run several IT shops. I work with hundreds of vendors in the FinTech space. Without access to foreign resources, our IT infrastructure would shut down, nationwide. They are fulfilling a need that has exploded and we dont have enough ppl.

Tech bros: “There’s a shortage of talent. We need more workers! More H-1Bs!” Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley: “My perfect GPA students are contacting me worried because they are getting zero job offers.”

@the_det_times @NFL_DovKleiman You think they want Teslas? You think they couldn’t afford them if they did?

@NFL_DovKleiman Purdy’s out here getting Teslas for his offensive lineman, Goff is out here giving gifts from the HEART 😤

Wholesome: Jared Goff spent over $1K gifting his offensive lineman a "YETI package with a ton of Wagyu, steaks and beef" for Christmas: "It's hard when you got guys giving out Toyota trucks to try and keep up with that but I got them a nice YETI package with a ton of Wagyu, steaks and beef. I hope they like it." Jared Goff is currently signed to a $212 million contract. (via @ttwentyman)

@AscentForge @ItIsHoeMath Intelligence leads to awareness, seeking knowledge or figuring things out.

@ItIsHoeMath Understanding credit card interest isn’t about intelligence; it’s about education and awareness. Many are left in the dark because financial literacy isn’t prioritized

if you understand how credit card interest works, you are in the top 20% of human intelligence, maybe 10% or even 7% that's how dumb people are goodnight sweet dreams

@playboyreview @FTL_Bonnie @FearedBuck It sounds like either way, 99% of the people were going to lose their money

@FTL_Bonnie @FearedBuck Bullshit. She knows the history of shit coins and how 99% of people lose their money. If she didn't know then her management team did. Either way, to just disappear is turd behaviour.

Haliey Welch, aka Hawk Tuah Girl, has now been gone for 2 weeks and hasn’t dropped any episodes of her Talk Tuah podcast since “going to sleep” after rug-pulling millions in a memecoin 😭

@SASpurs589 @CollinRugg @Old_SchoolEddie Is this bait? Flat earth is like 80% republicans and probably 20% undecided

@CollinRugg @Old_SchoolEddie Seriously doubt you would find many Republicans in the flat earth school of thought.

NEW: Flat Earther travels all the way to Antarctica to prove that the Earth is flat only to find out that it's not. Lmao. Flat Earth YouTuber Jeran Campanella went on a $35,000 trip to prove that there was "no 24-hour sun." "Sometimes you are wrong in life and I thought there was no 24-hour sun. In fact I was pretty sure of it. And it's a fact – the sun does circle you in the south."

@MattEurich Definitely his fault that Keenan Allen forgot how to catch a football

Takeaways from Thomas Brown's second loss in as many games as the #Bears head coach: 1.) This is straight-up embarrassing. What a joke of an organization. They've somehow gotten worse. Ryan Poles needs to go.
