@amelapay Really worth a second opinion. A lot of dentists have gone to off brand aligners and the results (online/reddit) seem worse. If you don’t need a ton, check out Invisialign Lite. I spent 18 mo in Invisalign and it was a great.
@shawngorham It’s really worth it. I also had a long time frame quoted, ~18 months of treatment + 3 months of retainer wear. I do think braces are probably easier but I wanted it to be less noticeable.
@JHWeissmann Not familiar with Mamdani's actions, but DC/Brian Schwab did this recently to Saylor. I'm sure if there were more cases, this would've encouraged them to go after more.

@BarredinDC Barred, you should invite the candidates for a beer at their local bar and ask them all a set of questions. It'll help us learn more about @goodweather4dc and @RiniSampath at a minimum.
@LeahLibresco I bought Half Magic because of this tweet, and my son is loving it. Thanks for the recommendation! We're going to look for the knight's castle this weekend.
In 2011, I pitched a top securities attorney in New York on democratizing investing. After hearing me list all of the ways I believed retail investors were disadvantaged by the financial system, he just looked at me and said:
“Why would you bother with the little guy?”
Today, 15 later, we’re listing the @fundrise Innovation Fund on the NYSE under the ticker $VCX.
The financial system has a structural problem that most people can feel but few can name. The most valuable private technology companies are worth hundreds of billions, even over a trillion dollars, and they’ve never gone public. The wealth creation that used to flow through public markets—enabling everyone to participate—now happens behind a wall that excludes everyday investors.
AI compounds the urgency. The companies building the most transformative technology in a generation are growing at rates we’ve never seen before, and the gap between who owns that growth and who benefits from it widens every quarter.
We started working on the Fundrise Innovation Fund in 2021 to test whether a public venture capital fund could work. Over 100,000 investors now own a portfolio concentrated in the leading private AI and technology companies, making VCX one of the largest funds of its kind to ever list on a major exchange. No accredited investor requirement. Now available in any brokerage account.
When that attorney asked me why I’d bother with the little guy, I told him: because they’re getting screwed! But I believe today marks another step in building a better financial system for the individual investor.
Onward
@michaelmiraflor MTB adjacent brands may offer something better. 7Mesh, OrNot. Rapha really is the gold standard even if they have doubters on both sides.
@mbateman Perkins Builder Brothers on YouTube does a great job with this for building houses. Tons of content, nice guys, good work, and lots of problem solving even with all of their past experience.
@rfkenmore@JohnGallag59344 Narragansett Leathers may solve your replacement problem. Honestly they may have made that, it looks a lot like a few i have. https://t.co/mCywb4mLg5
@jhMITgunship@gregisenberg@smallplanesdc I would still prefer to have a fresh cup from them, but their instant is a superior replacement for when you’re short on time or resources. Camping, traveling, outdoors, etc.
@jhMITgunship@gregisenberg There is some quality instant coffee out there. @smallplanesdc completely changed my mind on this. It’s miles better than the wildly available offerings.
