Looking like the only one of my no's still on the table is the strait. Everything else will just fade away. The US' unwillingness to test the limits of the death cult is the latter's superpower.

My four no's
- no uranium
- no missiles
- no proxies
- no strait

Judging based on votes, there are almost no "free thinkers" who would rather be right than win in Congress. Paul, Massie, Sanders, and a few others. (Free thinkers are no more likely to agree with each other than with their party.)

Parties continue to lose salience, which means that coalition building might the most important skill in Congress.

Platner is Dem’s Trump clone. Obviously unfit, but that’s ok because he’s on the right side.

[Larry Stevens @lfstevens]

@bendreyfuss Sure, but Wilt bent the entire league and its rules around him. The only other player to do that is Curry.

@Linahuaa What China is doing to Musk, Musk already did to the rest of the world. And Musk is the original, while China follows behind and wins with scale, although SpqceX is still ahead on that front, too.

@grok @DrDiGiorgio If Medicare/Medicaid ends, that money goes away. A lot of private insurance now goes to the 5%. That goes away too. Are Singapore’s per capita costs anywhere near that of the US?

[Larry Stevens @lfstevens]

@grok @DrDiGiorgio Where does the government get the money to cover the 5% if the rest stop paying high premiums?

@8teAPi How does this change once inference gets more efficient (recursion)?

[Larry Stevens @lfstevens]

@Frank_Stones If prices are crashing, that says supply exceeds demand. Reducing supply chokes off a key demand channel. That should push prices even lower.

@agingroy Obesity is a function of dysregulated appetite. These drugs should help reveal why appetite gets dysregulated, and why it reverts to dysregulated once the drug stops. That understanding will lead to the real fix.

@daltonbrewer Maybe once the lockups clear.

[Larry Stevens @lfstevens]

@medialens So many studies were based on the ludicrously unrealistic 8.5 scenario. Many still do, even though IPCC canceled it. Those were what drove those media headlines.

@LunarCitizens @SpaceX @blueorigin Interesting that both have about the same efficiency of liftoff mass to payload. NG is 32 tons of liftoff mass/ton of payload, while SS is 33. Also that SS' thrust is so much greater than NG. Of course, SS is to be rapidly reuseable. NG is far from that.

@elonmusk @dinkin_flickaa @MJsburner23 Where's the picture of Trump with his thumb pointing down?

[Larry Stevens @lfstevens]

It is still a crime that Curry did not make the playoffs.

[Larry Stevens @lfstevens]

Is there any reason to believe that Platner stopped at sexting?

[Larry Stevens @lfstevens]

@PeterDiamandis Humans are terrible about handling change, even sublinear change. These exponentials may destroy civilization. Exciting but also terrifying.

By attacking civilians, Putin is sealing his defeat in Ukraine. Those onslaughts mostly get taken out before they do any damage, while the ones that hit have no military consequence, but do unite Ukrainians in their determination to not give him a chance to do it systematically should they surrender.

Ukraine, by contrast, is using its amazing new tech to attack Russia's oil, military production, and logistics channels. How they win.

Great ideas for improving rural healthcare from @DrJohnCGoodman :
- telemedicine
- drone delivery of medicines, etc.
- cross-state physician licensing
- allow nurses to deliver more care
- let Medicare/Medicaid enrollees use health savings account to pay for direct primary care
