@NotEnoughEntrop @HarmlessYardDog @FreightAlley P Diddy levels of oil?

Which one of you bozos thought it was a good idea to build the entire world economy off just in time supply chains from the most unstable regions on the planet?

@wcdispatch No but that’s one hell of an excavator

This location bills $12,000 to Medicaid per beneficiary for mental health counseling, over $2MM over the past few years. What do you think guys? Look like a bustling medical establishment to you?

@snarwani @NickSzabo4 Insanity

Well, nobody can blame global oil and gas shortages on the Strait of Hormoz closure anymore. The US and Israel just launched a global War on Energy.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

I don’t understand how any of these places could be legitimate targets. Like if you warn everyone hours before hand there is no military importance. It’s like they just want to destroy people’s will to exist there so they can take there land and make refugees of them I don’t understand any other reasoning.

This is the heart of Beirut today. A city that has stood for 5,000 years. Israel is obliterating it — flattening civilian apartment block after apartment block. Not military targets. Civilian homes. Civilian infrastructure. Civilian life.

The debt passed $39 trillion today. Paying a trillion dollars of interest annually on this debt causes hardship for tax-payers and robs us of resources that could otherwise be used for infrastructure or national defense. And ultimately, this debt will enslave our grandchildren.

How fast was your first modem? Mine was a 2400 baud Hayes:

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

@saucypony @DustinWalper Yeah but oxidation even at the bottom of the weld shield gas is there to avoid the creation of more fragile oxide side reactions at the weld temps

@NotEnoughEntrop @DustinWalper You put the two pieces of steel together and the laser fuses them. There's no filler rod/wire material at all.

Full-penetration autogenous laser weld. 1/2" thick A36 steel, butt joint, no edge prep. Cut, etched, and polished for contrast. And yes... we can go thiccer.

@_benray @DanielleFong This is fine it should be less because this how we get super aids.

fewer than 10 ppl on earth use ai to control local automated biology workstations

MUST WATCH: Robert Breedlove explains how $6 trillion of new money in 2020 equals 100 million years of stolen labor, or 2 million human lifetimes. One of the clearest metaphors for inflation ever given.

Just so we are all on the same page... There was never a housing problem. There was an illegal immigration problem. There was never a debt problem. There was a fraud problem. There was never a border problem. There was an enforcement problem. There was never a crime problem. There was a prosecution problem. There was never a homelessness problem. There was a fraudulent NGO problem. There was never a failing school system problem. There was an indoctrination problem. There was never a funding problem. There was a theft problem. There was never a healthcare affordability problem. There was an illegal alien free-load problem. There was never an American dream problem. There was a Democrat problem.

@Alicia_Bittle_ It’s crazy it’s probably just a way to prop up the economy since they have driven out so much business.

How does an immigrant, straight off the boat, doesn’t speak English fluently, from a country with a lower than average IQ… Come here and IMMEDIATELY understand the intricacies of defrauding the government to make enough money to afford more than I can? I understand they teach each other, but who was the first? If they’re all dumb (which sorry to say, from Nick’s footage, that appears to be likely) who is helping them keep up the grift? Who are the American traitors at the top? I want a Hunger Games style deportation ceremony where we put them all in a little room, draw their names one by one, and announce what 3rd world country is about to become their new home. I want to see them be marched into giant military cargo planes lined up on the tarmac ready to take them to their new land of opportunity that same day. I want banishments.

The whole hurting China angle might actually be bullshit, why would we hurt our allies more than our enemies grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

@SuspectFed lol understanding wide angle lenses and perspective is hard

LOL

@atmoio Lmao I thought it was a wild post I’m like is this satire?

AI is making CEOs delusional

@karbonbased This isn’t a bug it’s a feature, but it’s a feature for Apple

Windows first Now MacOS Even iOS and Android are getting buggy and weird The slop coding pandemic will claim more lives than covid-19

@Melissa_WongMT This is exactly why all across the west there is a decline in the white population, they want us gone because we are the only ones who will consistently not go along with their bullshit.

But yeah... "Trust us Bro, we're not trying to eradicate you." Chair of the CDC Advisory Committee: "We'll just get rid of all the Whites in the US".
