@indahandle I’m just trying to reconcile the “reactions” to a 1 min video showing one braid. (especially when) Company says they’ve tested it with hairdressers who say it works + saves time.

PS: I’m only looking at this from a human behavior angle and if these reactions change soon.

[Tobi @TheTobiSmith]

The reactions to this are very interesting. Time will tell.

HaloBraid just released this video of its hair-braiding device, which the startup promises will cut appointment times in half.

The company's $7 million seed round was led by Seven Seven Six, the venture capital firm founded by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams's husband.

Reese's Pieces have no chocolate in them. The peanuts had their oil pressed out and a cheaper fat put back in.

Sugar is first, then partially defatted peanuts, then hydrogenated palm kernel and soybean oil, then corn syrup solids. Everything after that is 2% or less, and it's the dyes, the glaze, some vanillin and a little milk. There's no cocoa anywhere.

Partially defatted just means the peanuts went through a press. The peanut oil comes out one side and gets sold as peanut oil. What's left is a dry peanut flour, and that's what the center is made from, because flour holds a shape in a panning drum and doesn't go rancid. Then they put fat back in, and the fat they picked is hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which is solid at room temperature and costs less than peanut oil. You can see the swap on the panel. 38 pieces have 6 g of fat and all 6 are saturated. Peanut oil is mostly unsaturated, so that number isn't the peanut.

The shell is sugar with 4 dyes and a coat of shellac.

Of all the things that irritate me about Man United, what really grates is the stupidity and arrogance of Ineos to not even understand or appreciate what Carrick did for them last season. It is the only time the club has enjoyed peace and quiet in 4/5 years and a lot of that was down to Carrick's measured temperament and complete lack of ego in coming into the club, setting aside his own ideas and just doing the basics that needed doing. It is the only time the Ineos losers and syciphants have had the confidence to show their faces in public (wilcox did podcasts!)

But he's an inexperienced guy and needed a solid support system. No addition to his backroom staff and transfers purely to save money. A stupid lackadaisical preseason in Dublin. And now we are back here again.

I despise these people.

Breaking News: Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is making a $30 million investment to build a quantum research lab at New York University. In exchange, the city will receive 15% of any proceeds from intellectual property developed in that lab. https://t.co/lT5M8g1gTQ

When it comes to building what you need for your survival and for the well-being of your soul, you just have to stop caring about anybody else's opinions.

You just have to stop caring.

If you're feeling overwhelmed about your next decision, just remember that life is an experiment, and you're just gathering information.

Sometimes the L that we take is just a learning that will set us up for the next success.

[Babájídé @Babajiide]

Ownership is not a feeling. It's a decision.

Most people treat their standards as a response to their environment performing when conditions are good, pulling back when they're not.

I've built my entire career on the opposite principle. https://t.co/YUIkXbvZAz
