I’m at the bottom of a multi-layer SPV and am looking forward to the SpaceX IPO in much the same way a golden retriever looks forward to a car ride:

- thrilled to be involved
- no clue how cars work
- unsure if going to the park or getting neutered

@hecubian_devil “Technocratic liberals?” Don’t slander us!

The IQ heritability emphasizers have always been conservative.

@awealthofcs Massive regret. Like, if I knew interest rates were gonna skyrocket, though, I would have done a lot more than just buy a house lol.

@sgodofsk Never been to a German supermarket. My sister said the same thing about English ones. She was like "I had a reverse Yeltsin moment."

OTOH Globus in Switzerland SLAPS.

@CharlesinRome The new version of this is first communion classes.

PARENTS have to attend classes that are at like 5:30 PM on a Wednesday while their kid attends a DIFFERENT class in an adjacent room.

Like, do you not realize that the parent has OTHER KIDS who need parenting at this time?

@hecubian_devil The problem is that empirical research shows that the best deterrent comes from the highest possible chance of any punishment, while what we have is a low, sort of random chance of extreme punishment.

@Romy_Holland @RealPeterTeal I read somewhere that the average ancestral timing was something like 3 years between live births.

@greg_price11 @2Aupdates Glad she lost to Talarico. The senate campaign would be over right now if she were the candidate.

@spellgage As a Texan, I second this opinion about Oklahoma.

"The age of the large surface combatant is over"

"So you want a powerful radar on the next generation destroyer?"

"Yep"

"Ideally mounted up high for good horizon coverage?"

"Yeah"

"And a large VLS count for magazine depth?"

"Mhmm"

"So it's still going to be pretty big."

@cschauer106 Cities are cool, too.

[Andrew Egger @EggerDC]

I mean yes. This matters a lot. It is extremely bad for you and for the country that you have all done massive epistemic damage to yourselves in this way.

When asked explicitly “who is my neighbor” Jesus tells a parable in which the answer is a persecuted racial minority which he deliberately sets up in contrast to the members of your tradition, blood, culture, etc who bear power and prestige

@Noahpinion The Baltics are in trouble.

But Poland and Finland have stuff Ukraine doesn’t have while Ukraine has stuff they don’t have.

Ukraine + Poland + Finland would be quite formidable.

The NCAA needs to state that Texas Tech is ineligible for the CFP if Sorsby plays.

@RichardHanania I actually think free markets and capitalism are sort of different. Like, you can have large accumulations of capital without free markets.

In fact, freer markets may make it harder to accumulate capital in some industries.

@overrunbysuits @jessesingal This is actually a joke, right? If so, it’s a good one.

@NatSecLedger We currently have a 2.7 year delivery backlog assuming no additional FMS. We can invest in the sustainment industrial base for 3 years while still running new production at full capacity. We could then expand production once airframes become the constraint to sortie generation.
