So it’s NOT OK for me to inherit my family’s operations, where I’ve had an active role in since I was old enough, and probably skate by on income from it, yet an elected official can have their seat passed down like an heirloom and I guarantee she’ll end up a millionaire. Ok cool
New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
Germany did not lose the World Cup yesterday. It was robbed from a title by Americans.
Some insane info from people close to the team:
1. German players could not sleep the night before because of gunshots outside the hotel
2. Hotel manager kept offering fentanyl to German coaches, when they refused he called them "eurocucks"
3. Many players got sick because hotels had AC blasting extremely cold
4. Hotel staff kept playing loud African-American rap music at 3am
5. The German hotel was a 5-hour drive from the stadium
6. Players were served only chicken nuggets
7. The water cost $12 + tip so the team was dehydrated
This is what happens when you let a country with no culture host the world's biggest sports tournament
THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.”
[Theo Von listens closely for the reveal]
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.”
THEO VON: “Why?”
MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.”
THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”
