- We started this handle to more easily and broadly talk about things that our group frequently discuss in or around the dinner table/backyard/barstool/text string. We think many others would like to unbottle discussions and think through solutions in a productive way. /2

[The Rare Parents @TheRareParents]

Unpopular opinions are often correct.

@ViralScroll A long list of numbers is Infinity. 1 is basically 2, so 1=2.

Why? Cuz I said so.

Is that how we do proofs now?

Quick question: if a robotaxi will autonomously make you more money than the purchase price, why would Tesla sell it to you instead of deploying them in fleet themselves?

[The Rare Parents @TheRareParents]

@elon PLEASE

[Blake Scholl 🛫 @bscholl]

A fun thing Tesla could do: map pot holes and generally measure road quality/ride smoothness.

Then rank municipalities on road quality and how quickly they fix potholes. Some good ol’ fashion competition might help make things better!

My 15yr old granddaughter still hasn't emptied the dishwasher.

I asked her to do it four hours ago.

Now she's freaking out because she can't find her phone...

Which is on silent in the dishwasher.

How do you unplug every internet node, then wipe every storage medium it could hide in, then restart without any data or applications to restart it?

[Doppelbanger @doppelbanger__]

I still don’t understand why “just unplug it” isn’t a reasonable counter to AI doomsday fears

@chesscom Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.

(Here I am arguing with some random intern at a chess website 🤦‍♂️)

Are computers still stupid expensive and take up an entire room?

[AKM @akm515]

This is cool but at $750k per house this does not solve the core problem of housing affordability.

Speed and supply are not the problem in housing right now.

Affordability is.

Are we actually living through the most chaotic era in human history, or are we just the first generation with social media forced to watch every tragedy on earth unfold in real time, and the world has always been this dark, we were just never close enough to see it?

[The Rare Parents @TheRareParents]

Says the guy living better than kings even a few hundred years ago, and better than 99.99999999999% of humans in history.

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

And respectfully… why did nobody in my bloodline lock in and secure the generational wealth before i got here?

Good morning America! We tried a real Tennessee icon last night, Martin‘s BBQ Joint. It was pure food heaven, you rather not be a vegetarian there 🍖

[The Rare Parents @TheRareParents]

Fact

[Ribz of Tik Tok @ribzoftiktok]

@standardjones Try Martins BBQ in Nashville, it’s bangin’!

My wife's grandmother passed away recently. Going through her house and I think she may have won the competition for expiration date ingredients.

#NEPAL: This is incredible. 1,643 children survived because one headmaster acted fast when disaster was already on the way.

He received a warning that a village upstream had been swept away by the river. He immediately rang the school bell and moved the children and teachers to higher ground.

School buses were on the way to school, He called the bus drivers and told them: "Don't come here. Go back."

One school bus was already on its way. The headmaster saw it approaching the bridge and told the driver to turn back. The bus reached safety just before the bridge collapsed.

Then the flood hit the school. The entire three-storey school was washed away. It completely vanished. Not even a trace was left behind.

But all 1,643 children survived.

47 year old Rajendra Dadabi a teacher who became a hero when it mattered most. One man's quick thinking saved 1,643 lives.

@sntvizzy Hot take: the snap couldn't have been "random 50%" if Strange could see futures and knew his (very limited, cosmically) actions on Titan would lead to Endgame.

But hey, movies...

Some of the wildest stats in NFL history:

- The Bears have never had a 4,000+ yard passer in a season (106 seasons)

- All 4 of the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts Superbowls were played in Miami

- Larry Fitzgerald in 17 seasons finished with more tackles (42) than drops (29)

- During the entire 2014 NFL regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs did not throw a single receiving touchdown to a wide receiver

- The Panthers have never recorded back to back winning seasons in their franchise history, yet they once won the NFC South division 3 years in a row (31 seasons)

- The Buccaneers lost 26 consecutive games from 1976-1977. This was their first 26 games as a franchise. 0-14 in year 1, then they went 2-12 in year 2.

- Every NFC team has played in the NFC Championship game since 2010, except the Cowboys, who haven’t since 1995

- Ryan Fitzpatrick led the 2019 Dolphins in Rushing Yards (243) and TD’s (4).. Dude was 37 years old at the time..

- Tom Brady never played a game in his entire career where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs going into it.

- For his entire career, Tom Brady has a better chance of getting to the Super Bowl (47.6%) than Steph Curry has of making a 3 pointer (42.2%).

- The Jets joined the NFL in 1970. They beat the eagles for the first time in 2023.

- The Lions went 70 straight games without having a 100 yard rusher. This was during the Stafford era.. it started after Reggie Bush rushed for 117 yards on Thanksgiving in 2013. The drought lasted almost 5 seasons before Kerryon Johnson rushed for 101 yards in 2018..

- Mike Vrabel had 12 career receptions during his career, and every single one was a touchdown..

New - Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller tells me "of course" he used AI to write op-ed on Bessent & bond market

"There's a reason I moved from an English major to being an economics major," he says, "I'm not embarrassed by it"

@CoffeeandIrony The 4th law should be "preserve human choice", although it requires an educated mind...

Excellent movie!
