@SenWarren You could give “the typical American” 11 MILLION years and they still would not create PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, OpenAI, xAI, Neuralink, Boring Company, Ad Astra, all while single-handedly saving free speech for all mankind.
Adam Carolla to the LGBTQ crowd: "I'll give you guys Pride Year and the next year gets to be Straight Dude Year, where you guys shut the f*ck up for 10 minutes."
Impossible.
Pretty good question, fever is a defense mechanism but like many defenses, too much can cause collateral damage.
🔸Lets understand the pathology here:- When a virus enters the body, immune cells release cytokines that signal the hypothalamus (the body’s thermostat) to raise the temperature. A mild fever can slow viral replication and boost immune cell activity.
But fever also comes at a cost:
🔸Heart: HR rises 10–15 beats/min for every 1°C increase :- higher cardiac workload
🔸Brain: headaches, confusion, delirium, febrile seizures (especially in children)
🔸Lungs: increased oxygen demand and respiratory rate
🔸Muscles: fatigue, body aches, weakness
🔸Fluids: sweating :- dehydration and electrolyte imbalance
Paracetamol doesn’t treat the virus it treats the symptoms and reduces the physiological stress fever places on the body, making patients more comfortable while the immune system continues its job.
Fever you shouldn’t ignore:
🚩 >40 deg C (104 deg F)
🚩 Persistent >3–5 days
🚩 Altered sensorium/confusion
🚩 Seizures
🚩 Breathing difficulty
🚩 Severe dehydration
🚩 Fever in infants <3 months
About 400 years ago in Edo Japan
a samurai lord was riding home
through a sudden thunderstorm.
He passed a tiny, run-down temple.
At the gate sat a small white cat.
The cat raised its paw at him.
Almost like it was waving him over.
Curious, he turned his horse.
He stepped under the temple roof.
A heartbeat later,
lightning struck the road
exactly where he had been standing.
He survived because of a cat
that beckoned him in.
He spent the rest of his life
making sure that temple
never went hungry again.
The temple is Gotokuji.
It still stands today, in Tokyo.
That cat became the maneki-neko —
the lucky cat
you've seen in every Asian restaurant
in the world.
It started as one cat
saving one man's life
on a stormy afternoon.
Elon Musk just reduced American crime politics to a single question on Joe Rogan.
And answered it like it was arithmetic.
Musk: “While obviously not everyone who’s a Democrat is a criminal, almost everyone who is a criminal is a Democrat.”
That’s not a partisan attack.
That’s an observation about how incentives work.
If you’re a criminal, you don’t vote for the party promising longer sentences and more cops.
You vote for the one gutting bail laws and calling enforcement racist.
This isn’t opinion. This is game theory.
Musk: “Because the Democrats are the soft-on-crime party. So if you’re a criminal, who are you gonna vote for?”
Nobody wants to follow that logic to its conclusion.
But the math doesn’t care.
The softness isn’t accidental. It’s architectural.
No-cash bail. Decriminalized theft. Sanctuary cities. Defund the police.
These aren’t compassion. They’re infrastructure.
Every policy that removes consequences builds a constituency that needs them to stay gone.
That’s not ideology. That’s customer acquisition.
You don’t protect criminals because you care about them.
You protect them because they show up in November.
The people paying the price are never the ones writing the policy.
It’s the working-class neighborhoods getting hollowed out.
The immigrant families who played by the rules watching the system reward the ones who broke them.
The small business owners boarding up windows because the DA won’t prosecute.
They’ll spend the next week calling Musk reckless for this.
But he didn’t build the incentive structure.
He just described it.
And that’s what they’ll never forgive.
A Mexican Uber driver recognized Latin singer Luis Fonsi, known for his hit song “Despacito,” and they shared a WHOLESOME moment singing together after his new song randomly started playing on the radio 🤣❤️🎶
