Monday morning class again.
Will be leaving downtown soon so gotta try as many coffees as I can
Today is Mos Mos near my school

Signature Coffee - Kenyan blue mountain
Latte
Auntie rarely drinks lattes since it’s a girly drink and Asians are lactose intolerant lol
I brave it today. Hope my classmates will forgive me
⭐️ 6/10. Ok la.
@JamieFinance25 I thought that was what I wanted until I’m thinking about moving to another country for retirement. I was brainwashed that RE only goes up. But may not be the case. Depends on your life stage, I value flexibility now.
Weekend coffee today at a hippie and cool spot.
Typist Coffee
Quite a few people, most people working on their laptops. The AC is strong and dog friendly.
Ordered tonic espresso and egg bacon on English muffin. real bacon 🥓 😋
$15.50
Vibe ⭐️ 7/10
Food ⭐️ 6/10
@JonFlynnREstats When I bought my first condo almost 20 years ago, the condo fee was about $300. 20 years later it had risen to $900 on avg 8%+ annually since c19 and not including the extras paid for kitech $5k and reserve funds $2k.
Dim sum among the multi-millionaires.
What recession? The restaurant was packed, and every table has a net worth over millions easily here in Markham. Most people own their homes and live off the interests from offshore accounts.
Auric King at Markville
⭐️ 6/10 good enough for dim sum. The place was comfortable, and we sat and talked for over 4 hours 😂
I think this is the best sandwich I’ve had in Toronto!
This place was packed! I arrived around 2pm and there was a massive wait but it was worth it.
Alfie’s sandwiches
PROSCIUTTO ROYALE -
24-month prosciutto di Parma, imported mozzarella di bufala from Italy, lemon basil pesto, balsamic reduction, baby arugula, tomato.
+ drink $33
⭐️ 8/10
It’s hard not to fall in love with Toronto in the summer.
When the sun is shining, a nice breeze blowing at you. The old and new architecture.
It’s simply beautiful and wonderful.
And you got to gather up all that energy to last you through the winter.
Today’s treat is at Lala Bake Shop.
Tofu pudding matcha 🍵
$9
⭐️ 7.5/10
Would order again. Tofu fa with matcha is complementing. The matcha is not fancy Japanese complex flavours, but for $9, it works.
They have other drinks that look pretty good too!
I watched one city slowly dying and now I have to witness another one in organized decline.
Our citizens either not know, blinded or hopeless to make any changes.
Why the scarcity mind? Due to insecurity and incompetence?
How about abundance for all?
Trying new cafe. I think this one is more for the fancy bingsu or waffles. Their coffee is good, their croissant can passed for Costco …
Daon Cafe
$7 morning deal
⭐️ 5/10
@SolaTheAnalyst About 10 years ago, a girl can up to me at Mel Lastman Square asking for $5 for Go Bus to go home. It was in the evening, she looked suspicious but it was only $5. I rather lose $5 than her not really being able to go home. So I gave her the money.
Friedberg: New study shows enzyme reverses skin age from 70+ years to 31
Chamath: That’s a $2T market.
Did Scientists Just Discover How to Reverse Skin Aging!?
“CML is kind of the predominant molecule that gets formed in this extracellular matrix that's driving aging, and nothing breaks it down.
So these scientists set out to try and create an enzyme, an enzyme is a protein that breaks something down, that can break down CML.
And so these guys kind of went out and they took the target, which is CML, and tried to figure out, ‘Okay, how do we actually degrade CML, clear that extracellular matrix, and reverse aging?’
They started to test it on the proteins that we would find in our body, casein, collagen, retinal proteins, which are in your eye, hemoglobin, and they were able to get rid of 52 to 97% of the CML, just degrade it away.
And then they found several sites where they were able to degrade over 90%.
And then they took actual human skin from elderly patients that had donated their skin, and they put this enzyme onto that skin, and they were able to eliminate 55% of the CML on the skin, basically reverse the skin's age down to the age of a 31-year-old, this is from greater than 70-year-old patients, just by putting this enzyme on the skin.
And so it's kind of a groundbreaking demonstration of combination of AlphaFold, what's called directed evolution, where you change the order of the DNA that changes the structure of the protein to test different proteins, do high throughput screening, and ultimately make a novel protein that doesn't exist in nature today that can do something pretty profound for human health.”
Chamath:
“It will be a trillion-dollar market. If you can create a cream…”
Friedberg:
“I mean, dude, if you could put this enzyme literally on your skin and have it absorb in…”
Chamath:
“Game over. That alone is $2 trillion.”
