Just when I thought there was a wearable for everything.
Throne is the first wearable for your toilet. We are to a microbiome test what @WHOOP and @ouraring are to a blood test. With @ThroneScience you get a dozen biomarkers every single day so you can see trends as they emerge. With a microbiome test, you get 120+ biomarkers for

Count the ads. If thereâs more Ford than Tesla, youâve got your answer.
MotorTrends take has lost me. Iâm getting pay off vibes with this. I canât for the life of me see how the MachE is a better car. Software alone takes it. The Model Y looks like itâs from the future.

Is there a political analog to sunk cost fallacy?.
United States 2025 budget:. Income: $5.15 trillion .Spending: $7.02 trillion.Net Income (deficit): -$1.87 trillion . Top 3 expenses:.Social Security: $1.57 trillion.Medicare & Medicaid: $1.6 trillion.Interest: $1 TRILLION. Those 3 = ALL OF OUR REVENUES. Bro, what are we doing?.

AI is forcing a complete reinvention of the workforce. And this is what happens when youâre trained to think others are supposed to take care of you. Chipotle.

Now that AI is capable of doing most of our bullshit busy work, anyone else feel like most of what we were doing was bullshit busy work?.

Other manufacturers suck at EV. EV on its own isnât enough. Tesla is a new generation of car, not just a new powertrain. It was the iPhone, and the rest of the industry is still making touchscreen blackberries.
Updated for Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and Ford EV Q2 2025. Key observations: .1. The EV business s*cks. 2. Only Tesla manages to generate positive free cash flow. 3. Ex Tesla, the shown companies accrued $88 billion in cash burn (net negative cumulative free cash flow). 4. In

More importantly, the entire American economy and the companies behind our most advanced and loved products would collapse, almost instantly.
Your periodic reminder that you could confiscate every dollar of wealth in that table and it would cover less than three months of federal spending.

Tesla will soon drop its new map with an audible thud.
This is living proof that competition advances technology. Waymo has expanded in Austin, TX just one week after Tesla has expanded their area. The Robotaxi race is on.

I guess we can now conclude that the people currently in power are also on the Epstein list, which now âdoesnât exist.â.

This is what an oligopoly looks like.
Debt under Democrats: đ âŹď¸ .Debt under Republicans: đ âŹď¸ . Neither of the major parties has been successful so far in addressing this issue.

I want to vote for ANY candidate who flies Southwest, with his or her voters.
Bernie Sanders is 83 and had to be in multiple states in the same day. In that situation you fly private.

Ford couldâve said the same thing when Tesla arrived in auto manufacturing. This is going to be really embarrassing for Waymo.
Ex-Waymo CEO John Krafcik in response to Elon saying that Waymos cost way more money:. âTesla has never competed with Waymo â theyâve never sold a robotaxi ride to a public rider. Theyâve failed utterly and completely at this for each of the 10 years theyâve been talking about

Why doesnât paid/incentivized participation to a political event have to be disclosed? It really would be nice to learn about a rally and not be reminded of the book 1984.
GPSâHere we go again, there were 20,189 devices. Still a large crowd but not even close to the 30,000 quoted in Denver newspapers nor the 34,000 quoted by Bernie Sanders and AOC. 84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas,.
