When you start a chess game, you have 20 possible moves available. After the first full move (White then Black), there are already over 400 possible positions. By the third move, that number jumps to around 8,900, and after the fourth it reaches nearly 200,000.
By the time you get to move #40, the total number of possible games explodes to roughly 10⁴⁰, a number comparable to the total number of atoms in the observable universe.
What happens to Latin America if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed? Latin America doesn’t move as one in an oil shock. Energy exporters like Brazil gain short-term resilience, while fuel-import dependent countries take the hit: higher inflation, weaker currencies, and political pressure. A region split between buffers and vulnerabilities. Bonus points for the hilarious wording in the legend. Great piece. Source: https://t.co/KbnSDunbd9

The paytechs did it in less than one.

BREAKING: The S&P 500 ETF, $SPY, posts a massive reversal in after hours trade, now up over +1%, as President Trump says he is considering “winding down” the Iran war.
🚨The Iran War is putting the semiconductor industry on high alert:
The shutdown of Qatar's Ras Laffan facility, the world's largest LNG export plant, has knocked out ~33% of global helium supply, as helium is a byproduct of natural gas processing.
With the facility offline, the global market is losing ~5.2 million cubic meters per month, while there is almost no spare capacity as helium must reach end users within ~45 days before it evaporates.
As a result, Helium spot prices have risen over +100% since the Iran War began.
Notably, in 2025, Qatar produced 63 million cubic meters of helium, making it the 2nd-largest producer in the world after the US.
If the disruption lasts 60 to 90 days, prices could surge another +50%, potentially exceeding $2,000 per thousand cubic feet, according to AKAP Energy.
Helium is essential for semiconductor manufacturing, MRI machines, fiber optics, and space exploration, with no viable substitutes, meaning higher helium prices will directly raise the cost of making every chip in the world.
Chipmakers hold ~6 months of inventory, but Samsung and SK Hynix are already scrambling to find alternative sources, with 64% of South Korean helium imports coming from Qatar alone.
The Iran War is sending shockwaves well beyond the energy market.
@Mzavalagc Pero cuando proyecto escolar @TuiterEscolar te hizo en 2 ocasiones diferentes preguntas relativamente incómodas no te dió tanta risa, hasta lo corriste del senado
Aprovechando el cumple de tu papá, ojalá te hubieras ido tú y el en una chaqueta al inodoro 🫶🏼💦🚽 #unmundomejor
@eduardomenoni No soy fan pero es lo mejor que ha echo en su carrera.
Increíble la habilidad de los venekos para agacharse y bajarse los pantalones hasta el suelo!
