I am not exaggerating when I say that @nickshirleyy is currently the top journalist in the country.
He appears to get a business owner defrauding the US government to admit it on camera in just a few minutes.
Insane.
Would love to see the equalization formula changed so that Quebec's hydro factored in. And then take that allocation and move it to Ontario. Then build a pipeline from Alberta to Ontario. I love this country and we need to start working together.
🚨🗣️New: Mohamed Salah on the controversial officiating decisions in Egypt and Argentina game, Messi and Argentina are being favored:
“People will say Argentina showed the mentality of champions. Fine. But tell me this: when exactly did Egypt get the same protection from the officials?
We scored a second goal. The stadium exploded. The world saw it. Then suddenly VAR became an archaeologist, digging through the ruins of football history to find a foul from another lifetime.
Funny how they could rewind the game Five minutes to cancel our goal, but when I was brought down in the box, everyone suddenly forgot where the replay button was.
That’s what hurts. Not losing. Not Argentina.
The inconsistency.
One decision gets examined under a microscope. Another gets buried under the carpet.
We were told football is decided on the pitch. Tonight it felt like it was decided in a control room.
And let’s talk about those final minutes.
Two penalty appeals. Two moments that could have changed everything. Nothing. No review. No urgency. No explanation.
Then Argentina go down the other end and score the winner.
That isn’t a plot twist. That’s the kind of script that leaves millions of people asking questions.
Egypt fought for every blade of grass. We defended. We believed. We earned our moments.
But every time we climbed the mountain, someone moved the summit.
The disallowed goal.
The ignored penalty shouts.
The cards flying around our bench because people who dedicate their lives to this game couldn’t understand what they were witnessing.
And now we’re expected to smile and say football won?
No.
Football wins when the rules are applied equally.
Football wins when VAR is a shield for fairness, not a sword that appears only when convenient.
Because from where I’m standing, Egypt didn’t just lose 3-2.
Egypt lost a goal, lost two penalty appeals, lost faith in consistency, and eventually lost a place in the quarter-finals.
Maybe Argentina deserved to advance.
Maybe they didn’t.
That’s football.
But what will make people angry isn’t the result.
It’s the feeling that one team was forced to play against eleven men, the clock, and a set of decisions that seemed to change shape whenever the game demanded it.
And that’s why this match will be remembered long after the scoreline is forgotten.”
@Gantosj As a $LIB shareholder thank you for all the work you do on the name. What is your near term and 3Y price target? Need to deploy some more funds and want to add especially given management’s execution and the catalysts
Agree. I understand there is likely a lack of talent and people are nostalgic for household stars to play these roles but would have been a massive miscast. They do need to stop hiring retirees to play peak age historical figures. Not the first instance either
Hannibal was ~28 years old when he crossed the Alps to invade Rome. Denzel Washington is 71 years old. Boomers need to accept they're not young anymore, they're not the Main Characters of History, and get out of the way. They had a good run. It's time for fresh blood.
Absolutely dramatic that these guys left France for the US, and it's not even their fault.
They are by far the most talented and ambitious welders and sculptors in all of Europe. They meticulously produced masterpieces all year long, and yet the French government and French people in general spat openly to their face.
two years ago, they cast the most complete and polished statue of Jeanne d'Arc I've ever seen: a 4.5m equestrian bronze covered in gold leaf, and they put it on a public square in Nice, right in front of the Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc church.
It came out of their small foundry in Meaux, and traveled almost 900 km across the entire country to get to Nice. This is the best testimonial of French craftsmanship you could ask for, at a time when we outsource literally everything abroad.
So what did bureaucrats do once there ? They tore it down. Officially the contract got canceled on a procurement technicality, no public tender. The real reason is that the atelier is suspected of being right-wing affiliated for praising christian symbols. They produce a monument the whole city should be proud of, and it is removed because of political assumptions.
France messed up once again. Bureaucrats have become so blinded by ideology that we can no longer praise talent and ambition. They drive out the last people still doing great things, while becoming completely blind to the objective idea of beauty in the name of fake moral values.
It's right to leave when you get more recognition abroad than from your own. At the opposite, the second they looked west, Peter Thiel came in with funding and Elon publicly praised their work. Their next big thing will stay in the US and they deserve it.
$LODE Fortunato Villamagna, Comstock Metals President. “The front end is now actually working better than initial designs and has been tested and operating, and we will continue moving through the rest of the production system in that same sequence, such that by next month, the nine distinct unit operations will all be operational together. We are also now leveraging the modular nature of the start-up process to train and develop the operating crews to move from a 24/5 to a 24/7 on a 12-hour rotating shift basis.”
A physicist put 22 cars on a circular track and asked every driver to hold a steady 30 km/h, about 19 mph. No lights, no lanes, no obstacles. Within a minute the cars started bunching, and soon a full stop appeared out of nowhere, then drifted backward around the loop.
This was Yuki Sugiyama at Nagoya University in 2008. His team spaced the cars evenly on a 230-meter ring and filmed them from overhead. For a while the flow stayed smooth. Then the tiny differences no human can avoid, one driver a hair slower, the next a hair too close, began to feed on themselves.
One car eases off slightly. The driver behind sees the brake lights, reacts a fraction of a second late, and brakes a little harder to be safe. The next driver brakes harder still. A dozen cars back, someone is stopping dead. The squeeze rolls backward through the line like a compression running down a Slinky, and it keeps going long after the first driver has sped up again.
Car count was the tipping point. With fewer than 22 on that track, the bunching sorted itself out. At 22, a jam formed every time. Engineers call that a critical density, the point where a road holds just enough cars that one small tap can snowball into a standstill.
These waves are eerily consistent. Measured on highways around the world, the jam rolls backward against the traffic at roughly 20 km/h, and that speed barely shifts from one country to the next. Different drivers, different roads, same number.
The same setup later became the cure. In 2017, a US team rebuilt Sugiyama's ring with 22 cars and turned just one of them into a self-driving car running a program to smooth its own speed. That single car soaked up the small slowdowns instead of passing them back, and the waves died. Fuel use across every car fell by up to 40 percent. Fewer than 5 percent of the vehicles had to be automated to steady the whole group.
In 2022 the idea moved onto a live highway. Researchers ran 100 cars with cruise control guided by AI into the morning rush on Interstate 24 near Nashville, mixed into normal traffic. Early numbers pointed the same way: a small share of smoother-driving cars, up to 40 percent less fuel for everyone around them.
The jam you sat in this morning likely had no crash and no cause you could see. It was a few hundred drivers, each braking a moment too late.
Palmer Luckey: Patents are Chinese instruction manuals that get downloaded and copied every single morning.
"Stop patenting everything. You're taking your most valuable stuff, the entire patent office can be downloaded every single morning and then ripped off."
"For 20 years or so, between when you file for a patent and when somebody could launch a product, China could just rip it off right away. Western companies can only rip it off after 20 years."
"I don't hardly get patents anymore. There's a few things here and there, mostly defensively, because our patent system allows people to sue you when they think you're infringing."
"We need to massively expand the national security patent process. You can obtain a classified patent, you get exclusivity on the rights without disclosing it to anyone. A lot of the things Google patents around artificial intelligence are of national security importance. They should be allowed to get a patent, and it should absolutely not be disclosed publicly."
"Maybe I can't buy 20 years, but maybe I can buy one, two, three. If I could buy a year, that would be enough to make more of the effort worthwhile."
