The path to rejuvenate America includes returning to old fashioned names for startups. No cutesy stuff. No lord of the rings. Name your company like "United AI Devtools Corporation", "American Codegen Industries" or name your after your kids. Even your last name.

@trishaepan for me: - staying active (lifting, running, classes, saunas) - staying mindful (meditation, yoga, quiet time) - sleeping well (minimize stimulants, consistent sleep/wake times) - eating well (learn to cook, what you like) of all that, meditation is perhaps most transformative

To describe the incomprehensible as evil is a cop-out. It allows us to take solace in our own sense of innocence. And it exposes an unwillingness to take terrorists seriously, reducing them to “crazy” or “irrational” adversaries. They usually aren’t.

@Lascorbe gun rights differ between ownership and carrying. ownership is a legal right in the US, carrying it in a public place is not in CA, for example, it’s illegal to carry in the open in public, concealed is legal with a license, with limits. In AZ next door, basically anything goes
