@WesPothington He bats in one inning with 2 outs on a 3-1 count. There is a strike but the runner is thrown out stealing, then he comes back the next inning, gets a full count, and bats. Is this the right answer? 11 total.
The action is on X. Couldn't agree more, @gruber. Live sports, breaking news, tech and culture, in real time. This is where brands continue driving the conversation

🇺🇸 It was January 30, 2018. That day, I pitched an idea to my parents, who ran Farmarato, a small pharmacy in La Vega (Caracas, Venezuela): we needed to be on social media, especially Twitter (now X).
Back then, Twitter had become a humanitarian channel for finding medicine. Shortages and hyperinflation were making life unbearable for a lot of people. Our sales were flat or dropping, and I realized something: we had to get out of La Vega and go find our customers.
Twitter wasn't just a place for opinions. It worked like a public service. So I started using the search bar with keywords: amoxicillin, paracetamol, burn creams, high-cost medications, injectables, surgical supplies. It worked. I messaged every person directly. First on Twitter, then on Instagram, and finally on WhatsApp, where we grew to about seven people on customer service.
We had found one need: scarcity. Then another one showed up: reach. La Vega is out of the way, in a neighborhood that can feel dangerous if you don't know it. What do we do?, I asked myself. I started taking the medicine by subway to meet people somewhere central. It worked. Then my dad lent me a bike to deliver around the area. That worked too.
Orders and followers kept growing. People needed fast, reliable solutions. And many times, delivering a medication wasn't just about healing. It was about something more human: helping someone die with dignity. Because we all deserve to go in peace, without pain, knowing we're in good hands.
Demand forced us to grow fast: one motorcycle courier, then two, three, and up to four, handling urgent deliveries and extended hours.
I can proudly say we were the first to deliver medicine in Caracas, and I'd dare say in all of Venezuela, because we also shipped to other states. We were pioneers long before COVID forced everyone to change their business model overnight. When the pandemic hit, we were already more than halfway there, and between 2018 and 2021 we completed around 12,000 successful deliveries.
It all started by spotting a need. With a subway ride. With a bike. With one courier and one person running three social media accounts at the same time. It all started on January 30, 2018.
Our slogan, and our superpower, was simple: get there first. And we did, ahead of the big chains and the giants that dominate Venezuela's pharmaceutical market.
That simple detail is why I'm still proud of what we built.
Congrats @SpaceX! Gorgeous launch, getting Ship to orbit and managing every step in a safe, responsible, and especially inspirational way. @NASA, along with the rest of the interested public, is excited to help where we can and for Starship missions to become routine!
