@dweekly @Marcellinoposts @aakashgupta Uh that drop from a 20% victim rate is a big win- and it’s likely because adults are around more.

@YouXi29254 @auroralchorus Nah recruiters only notice resumes after they make it through the ATS. Effort is recognized sometime after that (maybe)

@mindbymira @auroralchorus Don’t hate the player hate the game (that you have bought into by being a hiring manager)

@DylanMalyasov @grok where can I buy this? Normal Rf absorption paint is too expensive

Most wives spend every waking cycle thinking about stuff to do with the kids and pre-planning for things coming down the line and it drives them insane that men can just not do that.

@JoeBlogs685544 @Rainmaker1973 Right because that matches how most people mow their lawns😄

A kid drew himself sleeping in bed between mom and dad and labeled it 'safe.'

In Japan, this exact sleeping arrangement has a name. They call it 'the river.' Mother is one bank. Father is the other. The child between them is the water. Roughly 70% of Japanese mothers sleep this way with their kids, sometimes through the teenage years. The Western model of putting a kid alone in their own bedroom is barely 200 years old. For most of human history, in most cultures still alive today, kids slept beside their parents.

James McKenna runs the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at Notre Dame. He spent decades watching what happens when parents and kids share a bed. The bodies sync up. Heart rates align with the parent's, breathing falls into the same rhythm, and by morning even sleep stages have started matching. The parent's body, in McKenna's words, acts as a kind of biological jumper cable for the child's.

In 2013, researchers in the Netherlands tracked 193 babies through the first year of life. They measured cortisol, the brain's main stress hormone. Babies who had spent more weeks co-sleeping in the first six months produced less cortisol under stress at 12 months. Sleeping near a parent had rewired the kid's stress system to be calmer under pressure.

Inside the kid's brain at night, the amygdala, the fear alarm, gets more sensitive as the body gets tired. Darkness makes it worse. A 2021 paper in PLoS One from Australian researchers showed that light directly suppresses amygdala activity. Lights off, alarm louder. The whole brain is wired to read 'alone in a dark room' as a threat.

Now add a parent's body to that bed. The kid's nervous system reads warm body, breathing nearby, familiar smell. The threat alarm dials down. Two parents on either side dial it down twice. The drawing is the kid's brain calculating maximum safety: I am surrounded by the people who keep me alive, and nothing can reach me without going through them first.

The arrangement in this drawing is what most of human history called 'sleeping.' Sleeping the kid alone in another room is a 200-year-old Western invention that we forgot was an invention. Every kid who has ever padded into your room at 3am and crawled into the middle of the bed is just trying to redraw the picture.

@BrianRoemmele Do this but with graphene inks on paper. Theres also some trickery that allows circuit assembly at <200F temperatures.

@chichibu_whisky @turmewa @SpaceX That’s kinda how investment and the market works

The people who live to work won't respect you for working to live. They'll call it lazy. They'll say you lack ambition, direction, goal, and purpose. But deep down, they're terrified that you figured out the secret they're too scared to try: It's the human race, not the rat race.

In just a year, these robots went from machine-like to almost human

A 2025 vs 2026 comparison at the Chinese Spring Festival Gala shows unbelievable progress.

How often does scope creep get used as a reason not to do things the right way?

Our auditor signed off on this.

We passed our SOC 2 audit last month.

Our penetration test came back clean.

We have 24/7 SOC monitoring.

EDR on every endpoint.

Zero trust architecture documented.

Threat intel feeds from three vendors.

100% Compliant.

Then some guy named Zestix logged into our file-sharing portal with a password from 2019 and downloaded everything.

The auditor says we're still compliant because the portal was "out of scope."

Now plot it against the number of #Warranty callbacks on new build

The housing market has flipped on its head.

New houses are now significantly cheaper than old houses.

$392k for new v $420k for existing as of Oct 2025.

Which is strange. Because normally new houses sell for nearly 20% more than existing houses over the last three decades.

What's driving this historic divergence?

Builder price cuts. Builders have cut prices by 15% from peak in order to drive sales. Dropping the median sale price from $460k in 2022 to $392k today.

The result is that new houses are cheaper for the first time in history.

It's almost hilarious if you think about it. The 'Abundance' narrative that 'nobody will need money any more after AI takes over'.

The AI industry is spending billions on ads, propaganda, & lobbying trying to convince middle-class Americans that after we lose our jobs to AI, there will be such an era of 'Abundance' that we won't need any income or any money to pay our mortgages, property taxes, medical bills, or child care fees.

Meanwhile, they're spending exactly zero dollars trying to convince
- banks that they won't need to keep charging principal & interest on the mortgages they've issued
- local counties that they won't need to keep collecting property taxes
- hospitals that they won't need to keep charging copays or billing insurance
- child care centers that they won't need to keep charging parents, or paying child care workers
- investors that they won't need to see any dividends from AI stocks they own
- AI developers that they won't need to be paid by AI companies
- AI executives that they won't need to worry about their equity stakes in their companies

This is how stupid & naive they think we are.

They only try to sell the 'Abundance' narrative to workers facing unemployment -- not to any other civilizational stakeholders.
