Finished shooting & reviewing the Thypoch Simera 75mm f/1.4 ASPH. Hands down one of the best-built lenses I've used—build quality is unreal, feature stacked, and the IQ is seriously impressive. Let me know your thoughts! 👇 #ThypochSimera #Leica

@tanpukunokami There are loopholes. If you buy a new house and rent it out, you can then completely write off the expense of the house over about 20 years as a business expense deducted from the rental income.

@Brink_Thinker @Stockrocker_ASX Ha ha, my kids do this, they teach this in preschool.

@Grummz Ironically every wannabe streamer will buy it to hate stream it, and it will sell 20 million copies.

@InterstellarUAP How does one know they are acting like waves if you are not observing them?

@NainsiDwiv50980 Just need a beastly graphics card and a ton of system ram to load the good models. Cheaper to just pay Claude, but I do this for some things.

Just a friendly PSA. Be careful install random agents and code from GitHub. It can be a backdoor for malicious code.

How to set up the Claude completely in just 1 day:

(Save this. Send it to your team. Thank me later.)

Tool 1: Cowork

Download Claude (claude .com/download).
Open the Cowork tab.
Select a folder from your computer.

Now build your brain file. Create "about-me .md."
To download mine, go here: https://t.co/psB7XxAv8w.
Don't pay anything. It's free in the welcome email.

Then, start every chat with this prompt:
"Read the files first. Then ask me questions before doing anything."

Tool 2: Model

Pick Opus 4.6 (it's the best model right now).
Turn on Extended Thinking.
Most skip this & wonder why Claude feels generic.

Then go to Settings > Connectors.
Link Slack, Google Drive, Notion.
Claude now reads your actual workspace.

Tool 3: Excel

Open Excel. Go to Insert > Get Add-ins.
Search "Claude by Anthropic." Install.

Open any spreadsheet. Ask: "Give me a summary of each tab." Claude lives inside the spreadsheet. It knows what D14 actually contains.

Tool 4: Plugins

Go to claude .com/plugins.
Pick the one as per your job.
Marketing. Sales. Legal. Finance. Data.
Click install. Type / in your next chat.

Legal software companies lost $285B in market cap when these dropped. That's a signal.

Tool 5: Artifacts

Nothing to install. Ask Claude to build something.
"Create an interactive HTML calculator for [thing]."

You get a working tool inside the chat. Not text. Not a suggestion. A thing you click and use.

Tool 6: Projects

Go to claude .ai. Click Projects. Create one. Upload your files and add instructions. Every chat inside the project remembers your context.

Honest take: Cowork replaced this for me.
But for teams, it still works.

Where Claude falls short:

No image generation. Use Gemini.
Not the best at real-time search. Use Grok.
Not the best at everything. No tool is.

But for writing, thinking, analyzing, and working with your files? It's the best.

The real difference:

Most people open Claude, type one prompt, get a mid response, and leave.
Because they set up one tool out of six.

Set up all six. It takes 1 day.
Then you'll understand why everyone switched.

More low IQ stats.

Sauna statistics are just a Class filter. Poor people aren't doing saunas.

I would like to see this partitioned by income. Those that do sauna vs those that don't at the same income.

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Joe Rogan: "If you do the sauna 4x per week for 20 minutes at 175 degrees it’s a 40% decrease in all cause mortality… It’s great for reduction in inflammation & increase in red blood cells."

[Alik Griffin @AlikGriffin]

@Invested_In_You When I hit those numbers I moved to Japan to live off $3k a month. I'm so fortunate to have been able to do that. I have a friend who is doing similar and living in Thailand. Best way to save money fast. Get out of the US if it is possible to work at that income and invest!

@zerohedge I didn't like her from day one. They chose a woman to appease the liberals. Had her Nationalist aligned to appease the right, but what she said she was going to do/change was mostly already current policy.

@ngriffin360 @GuruAnaerobic Running sucks.

[Alik Griffin @AlikGriffin]

@eevblog Few reason. Most people are easily brainwashed and have no critical thinking skills.
Ice has doubled in size and those Obama deportations were mostly turn backs at the boarder, not inner city raids.
