@pitdesi Tesla does offer discounts on demo and vehicles used for test driving. Coincidently I just ordered a Model Y 3 weeks ago as well, and got a listing of "ready" cars for earlier pick up. I didn't see that as a discount though because most of those cars had 100-500 miles.

Brazil nuts can’t be farmed. They need a specific bee, which needs a specific orchid, which needs untouched forest. Then an agouti buries them and forgets. The whole chain has to work perfectly. They are essentially an ecosystem’s conservation indicator.

For the nut nobody eats.

[Sheel Mohnot @pitdesi]

Does ANYONE actually like Brazil nuts?
We should ban them from nut mixes

India not just promotes diversity, it celebrates it.

The constitution itself was written to hold together one of the most diverse societies on the planet.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@RealJamesWoods Pretty much. It’s not promoted in any other countries …

This highlights a huge gap and why India isn’t at the cutting edge of medicine.

The CEO of a reputable pharma / genetics company is saying the following:
1) not much long term safety data for chronic use of GLP1s
2) it has been used for diabetes for 10+ years

[Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw @kiranshaw]

For those who are not diabetic or clinically obese, diet & exercise should be first option. GLP-1 alters metabolic function n has neurological signalling which in the long term may have side effects. There is not much long term data on chronic use of GLP-1s.

@pitdesi Divergent view: automation isn’t always better. Eg: the one thing that irked me about speed cameras in Switzerland was their placement. Many times they were placed right after a speed change. How do you expect to go from 70 to 50 in seconds on a freeway. It’s a revenue scheme.

@SteaknShake I just looked and found that all your locations in Austin have been permanently closed. How about first keeping your locations alive? Not going to drive to Dallas for a patriot shake.

[Steak 'n Shake @SteaknShake]

America beat Australia 2-0 in today's World Cup match!

Celebrate tomorrow at Steak n Shake with 20-cent Patriot shakes.

Winning never tasted so good. Limit one per customer.

How much are you willing to pay? I’ll buy from Ticketmaster accordingly

[@jason @Jason]

Peeps, I need two tickets to the Knicks/spurs game five on Saturday

First 5 rows, obviously will to pay

Jason @ calacanis dot com for leads that aren’t on Ticketmaster 🫡🙏🏼🤯

[Lakshya @LakshyaRustagi]

@pitdesi @Suhelseth True that you can’t spot people in the lawns and most of us have that pic. But if you zoom in, you can see hoards of people behind you 🤪. They do close it for VIP visits.

Didn’t Modiji say we should be preserving oil and gas?

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Jag är tacksam för statsminister Kristerssons fina gest att ta emot mig på Göteborgs flygplats. Ser fram emot att stärka vänskapen mellan Indien och Sverige under detta viktiga besök.

This moment may be what Covid meant for adoption of digital payments and delivery services in India … for EV adoption.

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

BREAKING: India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked citizens and businesses to save fuel by carpooling, adopting electric vehicles, and continuing work-from-home practices introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic, saying it is “in the interest of the country.”

[Lakshya @LakshyaRustagi]

If oil prices remain high, the bear case for India is legit and real. But that’s a macro factor not India specific.

The AI disruption narrative for Indian IT companies maybe overdone and in the FUD territory.

[Kushal Bhagia 🇮🇳 @kushalbhagia]

The current investor sentiment around 🇮🇳 is the most bearish I have seen in the last decade.

& The current sentiment around the 🇺🇸 is the most bullish I have seen in the last decade.

Do you have any good reasons to bet against the tide? i.e. go long India and/or short US ?

Eating veggies & protein BEFORE carbs lowers your blood sugar by ~29% at 30 min and ~37% at 60 min vs. eating carbs first.
Same meal. Same calories. Just reordered.

Wild fact: 1-2 tbsp of vinegar before a carb-heavy meal significantly lowers your blood sugar AND insulin spike.
Not a wellness myth - confirmed in a meta-analysis of clinical trials.

[Lakshya @LakshyaRustagi]

Wild fact: cooking white rice, refrigerating it for 24 hours, then reheating it actually lowers your blood sugar spike compared to fresh rice. The cooling creates resistant starch — your body digests less of it.

@pitdesi Autonomous will solve the last mile problem , no?

[Lakshya @LakshyaRustagi]

If $100K in $VTI is left untouched for 20 years:
• Year 5: $161,000
• Year 10: $259,000
• Year 15: $418,000
• Year 20: $672,000
That's 6.7x your money.
No stock picking. No advisor. No fees. No stress.
Time is the only ingredient.

@pitdesi @lyft How’s sushi zone?

[Lakshya @LakshyaRustagi]

1.4 billion people. Thousands of languages. Hundreds of religions. Countless divisions.

But ask any Indian about mango and you’ll find the one thing that unites us.

Perhaps cricket is the only other such uniting force.

[Beats in Brief 🗞️ @beatsinbrief]

India produces ~150–200 billion mangoes per year, but consumes almost all of it domestically, exporting less than 1% globally each year

That’s roughly 110–140 mangoes per person per year
