@elonmusk@aaditsh Please offer direct cloud services. I will switch to anything Elon. Google is convenient for now, but not trustworthy. Big difference.

Jeff Bezos reveals why compromise is one of the worst ways to resolve a disagreement
"An example of a really bad way of coming to agreement is compromise. If I say the ceiling is 11 feet and you say 12 feet, we say let's call it 11 and a half. That's compromise"
"The advantage of compromise is it's low energy. But it doesn't lead to truth"
"Another really bad resolution mechanism is who's more stubborn. Two executives disagree, they have a war of attrition, and whichever one gets exhausted first capitulates. You haven't arrived at truth, and this is very demoralizing"
"Escalation is better than a war of attrition. Escalate to your boss and say, we can't agree, we like each other, we're respectful, but we strongly disagree, we need you to make a decision"
"Exhausting the other person is not truth seeking. Compromise is not truth seeking"
@Nereura9 The world became so full of filth that seeing this it is so refreshing and touching. I hope we all do things like this inspite of the dark around us.
And that's the game. They tax you to death so you cannot succeed in your small start up. It is a strategy, if by a miracle you survive the climb, then it is an easy ride, but getting to 1 mill will not be easy. They won't make it easy for you. And this was achieved by the millionaires lobbyist. By design
Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
Dahl: Yes
Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%
Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.
Video going viral in Pakistan as Valentina Gomez tells Piers Morgan:
“Pakistan is a dirty S-hole full of terrorists, I’ve never ever heard anyone say that they want to go to Pakistan for a vacation”
💥 KABOOM 💥🚨
Marco Rubio just said something that’s blowing up online.
He pointed to Americans who worked their entire lives, only to retire on $800–$1,000 a month in Social Security.
Then compared it to claims that some new arrivals receive higher monthly benefits.
Read that again.
Worked your whole life…
Less support.
Just arrived…
More support?
🇺🇸🔥
This is why the debate over benefits, fairness, and government priorities is EXPLODING right now.
People are asking:
Who comes first?
America First — that’s the message.
Watch closely.
Its not a real duel. It's a short film.r-n3400{position:absolute;visibility:hidden;top:0;width:50px;pointer-events:none} .r-n3400.loaded{visibility:visible;top:50vh;width:50px}
grok is this real?
Thought for 15s
Early moviegoers were sometimes fooled into thinking it was real (just like some modern viewers), because the "death" scene looks shockingly natural for the era. But film historians confirm it's staged.The colorized version you're seeing went viral because the restoration makes 130-year-old film look eerily modern. It's 100% authentic early cinema—just not unedited documentary footage of an actual gunfight.Yes, the video in that post is real historical footage—but not quite in the way the caption https://t.co/HjCBQQRUeO's from a genuine 1896 short film called Duel au pistolet (also known as A Pistol Duel or Un duelo a pistola en el bosque de Chapultepec). Directed by French cameraman Gabriel Veyre for the Lumière brothers, it was shot on location in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City. This was one of the very first motion pictures filmed in Mexico.What actually happened:The film is a staged reenactment (not live "captured" footage of a real duel happening on the spot).
It recreates a real 1894 pistol duel between Mexican Colonel Francisco Romero and Postmaster General José Verástegui. Verástegui was killed in the actual duel after a personal insult escalated.
The 1896 film uses actors to restage the event for the camera—two men in suits step off, fire pistols, one drops, seconds rush in, and the survivor is led away. It's only about 30 seconds long originally (the X post version is colorized, upscaled, and has added sound/music).
The post's caption is misleading:Not 1898 — It's firmly dated to 1896.
Not a "western duel" — This is Mexican, not American Wild West.
Not the first "captured" duel on film — It's a deliberate recreation, one of the earliest dramatic reenactments in cinema history.
So yeah, the colorized version looks insanely lifelike, but it’s just really good 19th-century movie magic. No one was hurt during https://t.co/vt0HFAJDpR — nobody died in the video you’re https://t.co/ht6rXJEjt7’s 100% a staged reenactment made in 1896 with actors. The French cameraman Gabriel Veyre (working for the Lumière brothers) directed two men to walk into Chapultepec Park, face off, fire pistols, and have one “die” dramatically while the seconds and doctor rush in. The falling actor simply drops the gun and collapses naturally — which is why it looks so shockingly real even today (and why it fooled some audiences back then).Quick facts:The film is only about 30 seconds long originally.
It was shot two years after the real 1894 duel it’s based on.
In the actual 1894 event, Postmaster General José Verástegui was killed by Colonel Francisco Romero in a genuine pistol duel in Mexico City. That’s the historical incident being recreated.
But the footage itself? Pure early cinema acting — no real bullets, no real death.
