President Obama takes a swipe at VP Vance.

"When you have the current Vice President making a speech that is basically a blood and soil version of We the People. That it matters who your parents were and how long they've been here despite him being married to a daughter of an immigrant himself.. Hypocrisy."

Messi and Ronaldo are neck-and-neck in a league of their own when it comes to scoring goals.

But Messi is miles ahead when it comes to being a team player.

Messi sets up more assists than anyone, whereas Ronaldo is mid among top players.

A big dam spillway at full flood delivers about 4 gigawatts of kinetic energy to the riverbed. Four nuclear power plants' worth, arriving as water moving faster than highway traffic. All of it has to disappear in a few hundred feet of concrete or the river digs out the dam's own foundation.

You can't brake water with a wall. At those speeds it either destroys the wall or climbs over it. So engineers use the only thing strong enough to stop a river: the river.

The trick is called a hydraulic jump. When fast shallow water slams into slow deep water, the flow can't stay smooth. It erupts into a churning wall of turbulence, and turbulence grinds kinetic energy down into heat. Those rows of concrete blocks exist to trip that collision and pin it in place inside the basin. A well designed basin kills 50 to 70 percent of the flow's energy before the water leaves.

You've seen a hydraulic jump today. Turn on your kitchen faucet: the thin sheet of water racing away from where the stream hits the sink suddenly jumps into a thicker, slower ring. Same physics, scaled up a few million times.

And here's where four power plants of energy actually goes: heat. The entire 500 foot fall, fully dissipated, warms the water by about a third of a degree Celsius.

Skip this step and you get Oroville, 2017. Water found one flaw in the spillway, started excavating the hillside under America's tallest dam, 188,000 people were evacuated, and repairs cost $1.1 billion.

Four power plants of energy goes in. Water a third of a degree warmer comes out.

Preparing myself for a week of my timeline crying about how the tournament is rigged for Argentina now. It’s so boring, we are watching an absurdly good World Cup, maybe even the best World Cup of all time, appreciate it!

i don’t think people understand how insane this goal is

your team is down 2-1 against the reigning world champions

you get the ball outside the 18 yard box

many would have decided to pass to a teammate

sidny decides to put cape verde on his back

to take responsibility for his nation in the moment and shoot

yes, there’s power behind the shot

yes, the technique is immaculate

but for me, the reason why this is the goal of the tournament is because of the courage 23 demonstrates by taking responsibility in that moment

you can’t teach that

My toxic trait is I look for depth in a world built on surfaces.

[Kevin Dahlstrom @Camp4]

Nobody on their deathbed says, “I should have spent more time in the office.”

At some point, you have to ask yourself:

What am I optimizing for?

Having spent 19 years in an office and 12 working from home, here’s the truth:

He’s probably right that if you’re solely optimizing for work productivity, commuting to an office every day is better.

By how much is highly debatable because a lot of wasted time and inefficiency happens in offices. It probably varies widely by person, but as a creative type, I find offices soul-crushing. I’m far less productive there.

If you’re like me and you aspire for more than just a great career, then working from home is the #2 unlock. (#1 is a stay-at-home spouse. If you have both, it’s a 10X multiplier.)

The life I want to live simply isn’t possible if I’m sitting in an office (or in traffic) most of the day. I’ll take a small productivity hit (and less money!) in exchange for:

1) Unhurried mornings.

2) Zero time sitting in traffic.

3) Little 5-minute interactions with the family throughout the day. (I call them “in-between moments” and they compound massively.)

4) Wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

5) Exercise and outdoor time when there’s a break in the action. (For me, it’s *part of* the work.)

6) Being able to eat healthy.

Final thought:

Be careful who you emulate… because you just might pull it off.

Before you take someone’s advice, make sure you inspect their *whole* life, not just their career. Ask yourself, “Is this what I want?”

P.S. There are seasons to life and there’s a season to put your head down and grind to get ahead. But seasons have an end—do it as a means to get to that end.

A building is a building whether it holds servers or shelving as a logistics warehouse or walk-in coolers as cold storage. Disturbance from construction is the same.

We need to learn how to have real conversations about the actual concerns & stop w/ this Salem witch trial stuff.
