  1. Serious question; do you understand that Elon Musk is not being given $1T dollars? He's being given 12% of the company, which today is worth (before AHT) somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.54T. That means it's worth $180bn today. If he can, somehow and someway, grow Tesla to $8.33 trillion valuation (60% larger than Nvidia at it's most bubbliest, by the way), then by that miracle he would have a $1 Trillion dollar package. The framing of this narrative is silly. That's all, I'll see my way out.
  2. I listened to the leaked audio. I got bad chills and sick from it like seeing the CK video. It was too cold and by the book process to not be real IMO.
  3. What's it take to be an ATC? Can I get my shifty, no good, bum of a nephew a job? Just needs to show up and pee in a cup and look at radars? He plays a lot of video games and can maybe repurpose his screen time to look at blips and boops on radar screen? I think he finally got his bachelors...
  4. Like this place when my kids were little: https://coltersbbq.com/
  5. So.....it's the El Fenix (on Field St.) of BBQ joints? I don't say that to be cheeky but that's the first comparison I thought of when you said it's kind of an old staple of Dallas, not gonna knock anyone's socks off with the food, but good location and does numbers on private events like rehersal dinners and Christmas parties.
  6. Are you talking about this? eta linky: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/health/obesity-drug-prices-trump.html Obesity Drugs May Drop to as Little as $149 a Month President Trump announced a deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to lower prices on hugely popular weight-loss drugs for Medicare, Medicaid and American patients who pay with their own money.
  7. 100%. It's a loss leader on the front end to save exponentially on the back end.
  8. linky: https://news.gallup.com/poll/696599/obesity-rate-declining.aspx \
  9. My specialist doctor was using some auto-transcription AI service this week and I asked him about it. It's interesting that they don't have to get your consent to record the conversation, which is essentially what it was doing (plugging into the laptop a little jabra like mic). He loves it and he said he and all his peers have been using an AI company called Open Evidence for a year now (https://www.openevidence.com/)
  10. It's been well documented that GLP-1 drugs have been the reason America's obesity rate dropped for the first time since it started rising alarmingly. Even more so among women.
  11. Because I wear dentures.
  12. Pundits outchea saying though Zohran getting all the attention the biggest winner last night was our boy Newsom. He's building to a successful presidential bid IMO and I'm hear for it (spicy memes addict).
  13. In these hard economic times; Prop 13 was welcome.
  14. That's.....pretty spot on lol.
  15. Best quip I've seen all morning to explain what should be obvious to everyone (especially Bill Ackman):
  16. Zohran is such a sweet guy, I'm super happy for him. I hope what has served him well continues to do so.
  17. Yep. Lots of good upper class money in NJ, despite it's awful reputation. I think most people think of Elizabeth or Trenton before Morris Point or Montville or Paramus area
  18. I love this because I am making the same bet, but I also know he's been very wrong a lot of times since the big short.
  19. Evan Gershkovich was that year too fyi. The more you know rainbow!
  20. You have never read The Death of Ivan Ilyich?
  21. haha. I think I shared this before as I'm a big Zohran fan, my best friend and SIL were his year at Bowdoin (and on student government) and he's always been super earnest and honest in his beliefs and thinking. He's the real deal and even was kind of an annoying pain in the side back then, what you see today isn't some put on for politics. Sometimes some people are just made for the moment.
  22. Man. I know it's closer to the Jurassic Park recorder than the original version, but I give it a 9/10 for the attempt and the vibes. Good stuff in my book.
  23. I think there is a universal, human-being centric struggle that fights us with the "contentedness". It's probably evolutionary, sitting around content will get you disrupted and/or extincted by the hungrier species of action.
  24. So they began living in their new home β€” in which, as always happens, when they got thoroughly settled in they found they were just one room short β€” and with the increased income, which as always was just a little (some five hundred rubles) too little, but it was all very nice.
  25. I'm closer to Army Brat than to Helobious or one of these other young virile guys that run around here saying six seven every other word. I just want a brightly lit corridor so I don't fall and some decent free coffee in the morning.
