@acgao_tech @AlpacaAurelius Likely scenario.

@AlpacaAurelius Is this a case of causation vs correlation? Healthy people live longer and have more sex, right? The *wrong* conclusion is that if you have more sex, you'll become healthy and live appreciably longer. Or maybe they controlled for this?

You need to be having more sex. This is medical advice. Having sex less than once a month increases your risk of death by 2.3 TIMES. The sweet spot in the study was 2 to 3 times a week. Daily sex also was associated with a 3 times increase in all cause mortality.

@tony_hunt @Justino26885996 @crisisofconsc What stack compares to Microsoft? Google is 2nd, what's 3rd? AWS? Zoho? Apple? There's not much out there that can compare to the Microsoft stack. I wish there was. Maybe some of these AI platforms will speed development.

@bradhs @Justino26885996 @crisisofconsc 100% disagree on this, but everyone is entitled to their opinion ;)

I don't know how Microsoft isn't embarrassed by how bad the search functionality is in Outlook. I could be looking for something from YESTERDAY and it'll be like "nope never heard of that email try again"

@Justino26885996 @tony_hunt @crisisofconsc There’s nothing better. Integrate with third party tools to help where Microsoft lacks.

@tony_hunt @crisisofconsc What did you move to?

@GovPressOffice @CAgovernor I stopped using it because it requires refreshing often. That time you need it, it may not work.

NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom announced California is expanding its mobile driver’s license program to Samsung Wallet, giving millions of Android users another secure way to carry ID on their phones. Now available across Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, the state DMV mobile wallet, and Samsung Wallet, Californians have more privacy-protecting, convenient tools that modernize how government serves them.

@tslaming Are they backward compatible with existing clips?

@MostlyPeaceful And every kid is sending this to their mom. x.com/JackPosobiec/s…

Pretty certain every husband sent this video to their wife today

@GolfGirl_Love @VigilantFox @EMastrro He's absolutely paying a shit ton of taxes. The IRS took in 5 TRILLION dollars. That's just the federal government! Is that no evidence enough for ya?

@VigilantFox @EMastrro I highly doubt he paid 60% of his earnings. He has all the tax loopholes of any Rich American. I’m thinking more like 11 to 12 percent. So ridiculous!

Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes. “Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.” “And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.” “The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.” “The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.” “How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?” “Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”

@RhythmDoc01 @CardioNP @amuse Yep, I AM following you two.

@CardioNP @amuse Well, the echo also shows an apical infarction. EF is probabkyn45-50. You’re right that short term management is going to be anticoagulation regardless unless he has unstable angina, but there’s value in knowing whether he has multivessel disease.

RANT: So I pay $1700 a month for Blue Cross insurance for myself and my daughter. My cardiologist is worried about this massive clot in my heart and scheduled a scan but I have to get another doctor that I have never met to approve it. He can't meet with me for six months. The way we pay for healthcare is broken.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla When @SDGE?

PG&E and @Tesla have just announced that the Cybertruck, Tesla Powershare Gateway and Tesla Universal Wall Connector have all been approved for participation in PG&E's residential Vehicle‑to‑Everything (V2X) program, marking a major milestone for bidirectional EV integration in California. This marks the first AC vehicle-to-grid application approved for customers in California, enabling vehicles to connect using much simpler equipment rather than specialized DC infrastructure. PG&E customers with Cybertrucks will now be able to use their vehicle to power their home in an outage and earn money by selling power back to the electric grid during grid events. "Electric vehicles can do more than move people—they can help power homes and support the grid," said Jason Glickman, Executive VP of Strategy and Growth, PG&E. "By welcoming Tesla into our residential V2X program, we're expanding customer choice while making California's grid more flexible, resilient, and affordable. Powershare Grid Support enables Tesla vehicles to strengthen our electricity system, while earning money for EV owners." More info below:

@actuallyajoke I experienced the same thing last year.

Every Cybertruck on Carvana is getting purchased 😳 Some are going for the same price as new, absolutely wild

@TheBananaTreePr @RichardPBailey_ @MayorToddGloria Me neither. Prices will drop as owners need renters.

The City of San Diego has 12,500+ units available for rent right now. I'm not understanding why there's a "shortage". @RichardPBailey_ @MayorToddGloria

@marcportermagee Why?

I don’t think people have fully absorbed just how big the declines in student enrollment are going to be. Eight states are projected to experience DOUBLE DIGIT declines by 2031.

@_fat_ugly_rat_ It sucks, don’t come.

I really need to move to Southern California

@walls_jason1 Shiet

Can’t make this up. Neighbor flagged me down to let me know her HVAC guy told her she needs an electrician. He did this. Then he realized electricity is scary. We gonna get her a new breaker and up and running but imagine if she just called an electrician. You see what the

@Nick_Davidov @MikeDUnderhill I remember when Stockton tried this. Went BK.

In 2021 our portfolio company Fridge No More raised $19M and opened 49 stores in NYC, employed 300 people and was able to deliver goods to your door in under 15 minutes, paying above minimum wage to couriers (they were actually so happy with their jobs they offered to work for free when the company couldn’t get funding). Unlike Mamdani’s store they had to pay rent and taxes. This is $387K per store including all the R&D, CapEX, and a central processing facility. Somehow when a socialist politician is trying to do that it’s 100x more and takes 3 years. Remember my words it will not end at $30M. Very soon they’ll ask for more.

@cresthiker36 @BigImpactHumans Headlights, maybe.

@BigImpactHumans Check your blinker fluid.

Guys, what’s wrong with my Cybertruck? Am I cooked???

@zachmelloh26 @grok how do you stress test your retirement?

If you’re within 5 years of retirement: Don’t just run the numbers. Let’s stress test the plan and your portfolio. That’s where the real answers are.

“Am I actually ready to retire?” You’ve saved $1.8M. You’re 62. You want to retire this year. On paper… it works. But there’s one risk most people ignore:

@WallStreetMav 100%. Fuck me.

Don’t be afraid of a 6 month home renovation. Those 12 months will be the most fulfilling 2 years of your life.

@Knesix Y’all forgot to include government taxes.

"If America produces more oil than anyone, why is gas four dollars?" Great question. Allow me to ruin the comforting idea that "the oil industry" is one big thing that could simply decide to give you cheaper gas if it wanted to. What most people don't know is that "the oil industry" is in fact three completely different businesses between the ground and your gas tank: 1) The drilling company pulls crude oil out of the earth. 2) The refinery, which is a DIFFERENT company, buys that crude from the driller and cooks it into gasoline. 3) The gas station buys that gasoline from the refinery and sells it to you. Three separate businesses, three markups. Each one passing the cost to the next guy in line. When global oil prices spike, the driller charges more because crude always trades at *global* prices. The refinery then has to pay more for that crude. The gas station pays more for that gasoline. You pay more at the pump. That is the chain, and you are at the end of it. Now, there's a silver lining to this. That chain is also pouring money into the American economy at a scale that is hard to overstate. Eleven million jobs. Not just roughnecks. Truck drivers, welders, engineers, port workers, accountants, you name it. We're talking about Two trillion dollars in GDP, which is roughly 8% of the entire American economy. Five hundred and seventy billion in taxes in a single year. That goes to schools, hospitals, roads, fire departments and more. And every barrel sold to Japan or Germany or South Korea is a barrel that USED to be sold by Saudi Arabia or Russia or Iran. That money used to leave America. Now it comes in. Four dollars a gallon hurts. But the money is not vanishing into the atmosphere. It is cycling through American towns, American jobs, and American tax revenue. And the countries buying American crude now depend on Washington, not Moscow and much less Tehran. American oil is no longer just a product. It has become a bond between countries. The pain is real, but will be temporary.
