Absolutely astonishing. How often do we see something so far outside the box amazing in any industry let alone just about everything Elon touches...

RIP Mike Ditka

I was fortunate enough to meet da Coach once at his downtown restaurant and was amazed at the size of his hands but more importantly how well spoken he was. None of us are ready for a world without Reagan or Ditka...

Now that President Trump changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, we need to change the name of Canadian bacon to ham.

The unvaccinated were never a threat to society.

We were a threat to authority.

Remember that the next plandemic that comes up.

Fun fact: The scrap value of gold and copper inside of a flock camera is worth more than a catalytic converter.

Carry on.

Jay Leno says a widow tried to sell him a Ferrari for $350,000, so he helped her turn it into $3,750,000 instead.

​“I get enough free stuff like that, that’s right, that’s very nice. You don’t need to start screwing people over.”

​“I said, ‘If I can get you close to 4 million for that car, will you bake me some cookies?’ And she said, ‘Why? It’s not worth that much.’ I go, ‘It’s worth that much.’”

​“I don’t like it when I hear people tell me a story how they screwed some old guy out of a car. I hate those kind of stories. I like these kind of stories.”

You don’t want to hear this, but it is true…. Social media is a net negative for the lives of a vast majority of people who use it.

Here is what we know: U.S. taxpayer money, funneled through USAID and NIH, funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research likely caused the COVID pandemic that killed millions and cost trillions.

Dr. Fauci personally signed off on these experiments, then lied to Congress about it. Biden tried to protect him with a last-minute pardon. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

Invent a bullet-proof, electric truck that can tow a Porsche, while racing a Porsche…and win.

Til then, STFU.

A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are tasked with finding the volume of a rubber ball.

The mathematician takes the ball, measures its diameter, then calculates the volume.

The physicist submerges the ball in water and measures the amount of water displaced.

The engineer twists and turns the ball, looking for the model number.

The Apollo Guidance Computer had:

• 4 KB of RAM
• 72 KB of storage
• A clock speed of 1.024 MHz

Your iPhone 16:

• 8 GB RAM
• 512 GB storage
• up to 4.04 GHz.

The iPhone is roughly 100,000,000x more powerful.

And yet, the AGC landed humans on the Moon six times with zero crashes.

Here's why: the software was written with constraints so tight that bugs had nowhere to hide. Margaret Hamilton's team coded in machine language, directly. No abstraction layers. No frameworks. No dependencies.

Every byte was deliberate.

We didn't go to the Moon despite having weak computers.
We went because weak computers forced engineers to be extraordinary.

Stop making blueberries bigger. Stop it. They are big enough. They were fine to begin with. We don't need jumbo or gigantic or giga blueberries. They're fine already.

Tomorrow, the wait is over as we spring forward and get an extra hour of sunshine! That means more time to enjoy at the beach, in the park, and with your family.

Who doesn’t love that? I’m fighting to pass my Sunshine Protection Act so we can keep Daylight Saving Time YEAR-ROUND and enjoy more sunshine, not less.

Student loans in this country are a joke. I borrowed three students last year and they were all useless.
