@elonmusk I just attempted to subscribe to an annual membership of Grok Premium Plus via my iPhone and Chase immediately declined my charge and texted me that my credit card would be closed if I didn’t reply “YES”. See attached screenshot.

@iluminatibot I was disappointed at the conclusion of the installation process when I discovered that the RO holding tank (under the kitchen sink) is plastic. Do any systems come with a tank that’s made from stainless steel, copper, or another safe material other than plastic?

@kristinawong Are media reports that BlackHawk had its ADS-B turned off accurate? If so, is that permissible when operating in Class B? My perception is that ADS-B would've given ATC (and perhaps the AA flight) a more accurate picture. Am I correct?

Ballots cast in the five voting precincts that largely constitute the Palisades (9005918A, 9005919A, 9005929A, 9001382A, 9007693D) overwhelmingly went to Harris. Of the 11,151 votes cast from those precincts, 71% went for Harris, while Trump and RFK Jr. received just 28% and 1% of the Palisadian vote

@WobblyLifeDev Hello - I'd like to buy Wobbly Life t-shirts for my two sons (it's their favorite game by far!)...I'm unable to access the website...any advice? Thx!

[Derek Casteel, CFA @derekcasteel]

@WobblyLifeDev Do you sell kids' t-shirts? Wobbly Life is my sons' (8 favorite game! They're 8 and 5. I enjoy playing with them via 2-player split screen mode too ;-)

@RobertKennedyJr I'm so grateful to you! Your tireless efforts are an immeasurable gift to humanity!

@MacroAlf Why are MMFs liquidating RRP investments in favor of investing directly in Treasurys? Did the yield differential between the two reverse?

@merissahansen17 Thank you for raising awareness about this!

@woodymatters I was prescribed Singulair for hay fever about 15 years ago. I recall informing my doctor that it seemed to be "messing with my head" making me very agitated. He dismissed my concerns; attributed symptoms to other factors and stressed that there was no evidence of a link.

@KirkHerbstreit Do you really feel that FSU fans who believe their team is deserving of one of the four playoff spots are part of a “despicable lunatic fringe?”

[Bob Brauer @sfhomebase]

@BarrettSallee If you had said at the beginning of the season, Florida State would beat LSU & Miami, and then Clemson & Florida on the road, run the table, and win the ACC Championship by double digits, but not get in to the CFP, you would have been put on medication.

@ldboxingfan @RGIII I appreciate the civility of your response BTW…

[Derek Casteel, CFA @derekcasteel]

@ldboxingfan @RGIII FWIW - I agree with your last sentence.

If coach Norvell wanted FSU to receive a playoff invitation, he should've focused less on winning games and instead promoted the advertising clients of The Walt Disney Company (owner of ESPN) the way Alabama's coach Saban shills for Aflac's supplemental insurance plans in TV commercials.

[Derek Casteel, CFA @derekcasteel]

Unfortunately, we live in a culture that worships TV celebrities. AFLAC has invested heavily in a national advertising campaign that makes Nick Saban widely recognizable beyond the college football ecosystem. Is it really a stretch to suggest that AFLAC benefits when one of the stars of their TV commercials is awarded the opportunity to coach his team in a high-profile playoff game? If so, is it unreasonable to assume that AFLAC would pressure their ad vendor, ESPN, to support the narrative that Alabama is more deserving of a spot than the Seminoles?

[Derek Casteel, CFA @derekcasteel]

What a joke! FSU's Norvell coached-for-the-win against Louisville (and succeeded) based on assumption that victory (by his undefeated team) would result in playoff berth. One has to assume that if he had known that a 10 point margin of victory against #14 ranked team wouldn't have been enough, he would've called for more aggressive plays downfield...
