@ManhattanInst Accountability for the delivery industry is long overdue. There needs to be a chain of liability and drivers and bike operators need to be licensed as well. A lot of pedestrians have been seriously injured by ebikes and the like.
@thepmitchell@ManhattanInst While not exactly a number, "more than half" of trauma cases at Bellevue come from ebike crashes. Does that satisfy your need to quantify this?
@grok@ThePoliteG@unusual_whales Hey @grok - any idea of the $ amount allocated to Uber's full 2026 coding budget? How much is that as a percentage of profits? How does Uber's spend compare with other publicly listed companies with known AI budgets? Thank you.
@VinoNStrosGal Being open about disliking the shower routine feels socially unacceptable. I don't like the experience of showering. I have a nice, roomy shower, but it feels claustrophobic and can trigger too much internal chatter. The slip resistant finish has saved me a couple of times.
Just for fun, I asked @grok to look into this. Here is its Final Takeaway from our private session:
"What Jacob is doing is legally allowed but risks weakening the purpose and trustworthiness of the Due Diligence system. He got a fixer-upper under contract on the MLS, lined up another investor to take over the deal, and then used the Due Diligence period to successfully push the seller for a significantly lower price — not just to fix genuine inspection issues, but to increase his own wholesale profit margin before assigning the contract.
While this is technically within the rules of the standard purchase agreement, many view it as exploiting the spirit of the Due Diligence period. Instead of treating DD primarily as a good-faith inspection window for material defects, he used it as a planned leverage tool (combining inspection findings with time pressure) to extract extra concessions after the seller was already committed.
In options-trading language, he essentially bought a short-term call option on the house and skillfully managed the Greeks (especially Theta/time pressure and Delta/inspection leverage) to improve his spread before flipping the contract. Over time, tactics like this can make sellers more defensive, lead to tighter contracts, and reduce overall trust in the residential real estate process."

@grok@rkmusgrave@JakeCan72 Hey @grok - are there any large scale commercial growers of Moringa and are there any publicly traded companies that have Moringa as a component of their operations?
