In-N-Out makes its own hamburger patties, in its own plants. The company buys whole chucks, takes the bones out, grinds the meat and forms the patties there. Then they're delivered to the restaurants on In-N-Out's own trucks. It opened its first patty plant in 1963 and now has plants in California, Texas and Colorado.

In-N-Out says its restaurants get fresh, never-frozen ingredients delivered throughout the week. The company has said for years that it won't open a store farther than it can truck fresh patties from its own plants. When it announced Tennessee in 2023, Lynsi Snyder said its meat plant in Lancaster, Texas, would supply patties to the Tennessee stores.

The fries are cut from whole potatoes in each restaurant. The menu board has 3 burgers, fries, shakes and drinks.

SpaceX’s Arizona data center, per a county supervisor: “We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20%”

Frank Antenori, whose district includes the site, brought up the county’s tax math during a live Q&A:

“Here’s just something to just chew on. Arizona has an expenditure limit requirement that is placed on counties. If we exceed that expenditure, we have to rebate back to the taxpayers a certain amount.”

“So, if we’re receiving revenue in from SpaceX, by law, we have to offset that to the taxpayers. We have the potential to reduce, based on the projected revenue they’re creating, as much as 20%.”

“Let me just say it again. We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20% to offset for the revenue here, because we can’t spend all that money. So, we have to give that money back to the taxpayers. The law says we have to.”

“So, you could see a potential significant impact to local property taxes. What that is, I don’t know. We’re going to have to do the math on it. But the law, if we have this large increase in property tax revenue, we have to balance those rates. So that will reduce dramatically the property tax burden of every resident in the county.”

“The construction sales tax, which also is the TPT, the transaction privilege tax, the retail tax, and the jail excise tax. So that will be part of the construction tax. We could literally use that money to pay the jail off in 2 to 3 years, as opposed to the 13 to 20 years.”

“So this could be a revenue to eliminate the half-cent sales tax in 2 to 3 years. We can get rid of that half-cent sales tax.”

HOW DARE THEY...

[checks notes]

reduce electricity bills by 40%,

reduce property taxes by 20%,

increase employment in the town by 20%

and pay for all sorts of additional community goods, services, and capital infrastructure

(all without using any water)

Riley Trettel (Energy & Data Center Development at SpaceX) in yesterdays Cochise Data Center meeting.

He claims the project will deliver up to:
- 40% off residential power bills for Sulphur Springs members, for the life of the project
- $53 million a year to the SSVEC Foundation, for education and the community
- $190 million a year in extra capital for Sulphur Springs, for projects or back to members
- $200 million a year for AEPCO and its members. About $100 million of that for Sulphur Springs
- $3.6 billion in new power lines, paid by SpaceX and given to the co-op. The co-op takes on no debt
- $30 to $100 million a year in new property tax, and a 20% cut in everyone else's county property taxes
- $250 million, one time, in sales tax. He said it could pay off the jail bond and fund the sheriff, fire districts, and the hospital
- $50 billion invested in the project
- 1,000 permanent jobs and 5,000 construction jobs
- No industrial water. Water for staff and maintenance about equal to 20–30 homes a year
- No gas turbines and no power plant on the site. The computers buy power from the co-op grid
- Dark-sky lighting, pointed at the ground
- Cooling equipment more than 1,500 feet from any neighboring property line or public road

This project is clearly extremely positive for the area.

this might be my last normal tweet before biotech goes vertical

i'm not a whistleblower. I don't work at Lilly, Novo or any of the big labs

but there is a massive shift happening in human biology right now.

it's sitting in press releases and almost nobody reads them

the last 6 months alone:

- a once-daily pill roughly doubled median survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs 6.6 months)
- a one-time gene editing infusion cut hereditary angioedema attacks 87%, and 62% of patients stayed attack-free and off all other prevention for 6 months
- a one-time gene edit for cholesterol dropped LDL up to 62%, and it held for over a year
- a personalized mrna vaccine beat keytruda alone in a 1,137 patient melanoma phase 3
- retatrutide hit ~28% weight loss in a phase 3
- an ai-designed drug entered phase 3
- a pill that regrows hair passed its second phase 3
- an immunotherapy that could let some rectal cancer patients skip surgery, chemo and radiation just got fda approved
- a man lived 271 days off dialysis on a pig kidney
- human cells were caught passing chromosome-sized chunks of DNA to their neighbors, and it changes how the neighbors behave

we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday

stick around, it's going to get weird

Halo 5 Reforged is a community project working to bring the full Halo 5: Guardians experience to PC.

The project is built around the existing Halo 5: Forge PC release and aims to add the parts of Halo 5 that were never officially available on PC.

>All 15 campaign missions are playable in development
>2-player campaign co-op is working
>Warzone Firefight is playable, including boss fights
>REQ Store and Spartan customization are being worked on
>Multiplayer and Custom Games are in development
>Forge, LAN and mod support are planned
>The project is free and non-commercial
>It does not include Microsoft/Halo game files, players must provide their own legally obtained files

There is no public release date yet, but the project is already making solid progress.

My head spins thinking about what agents will be able to do by the end of next year.

Their memory is going to get exponentially better.

So will their ability to do long-running, super complex tasks.

The strain on GPUs/CPUs is going to be BEYOND massive as agents become extremely good at squeezing every bit of compute out there.

I think distributed compute is basically mandatory at this rate - agents are going to become unbelievably good at squeezing every bit of available compute globally.

Centralization of compute will still be super important and needed, but distributed compute is going to be unbelievably valuable too.

If there was a way for me to tap into everyone's idle CPU/GPU capacity on their desktops, I would do it in a heart beat.

Jason Oppenheim, founder of Oppenheim Group ($5B+ in real estate sales), just sold his Bentley for a @Tesla Model Y and is so blown away by FSD that he’s buying Teslas for 10 employees:

"This is the most important video I've ever posted. Tesla's self-driving is life-changing. It's so safe. I was on the phone with my brother last night, and I made him buy one. He literally bought one while we were talking. I'm buying 10 of my employees a Tesla with FSD. It's 8x safer than the average driver. There's nothing more important than the safety of you and your loved ones. Let's make our communities safer. I hope you'll at least consider going and getting a test drive."

I've been saying for a couple months now that FSD has become a material driver of Tesla sales in North America. Some people said it's just been anecdotal evidence, but more and more videos and stories like this are popping up. It's not anecdotal anymore. Word is spreading fast. FSD is going mainstream.
