Energy abundance is the root of the policy tree, the big unlocker. With energy abundance, you have factories, jobs, national security, energy security, food security, water security (desalination), GDP and so much more. With energy scarcity, you have foreign wars over scarce…

The UK's Online Safety Act has singularly failed to regulate the Internet. One by one, U.S. websites are just walking away instead of complying. Every landing page like this redpills thousands of UK Internet users on the UK's censorship regime, and nudges them towards VPNs.
Holy shit It's so over for britbongs
"I already know three North‑Texas projects—over 1 000 workforce units—that may die because of this rule. Safety is vital, but blanket rules can backfire." "Crazy part? Only used in 1 fire, ever."
A hidden fire‑safety rule is quietly adding $1+ million to the price of many new apartment buildings. Crazy part? The gear it mandates has been used exactly once in a real US fire. Let’s unpack this 👇
If "three strikes" laws seem overly draconian to too many people, we could easily get ~the same outcomes with ten strikes
A third of all shoplifting arrests in NYC in 2022 were due to just 327 people. That's 0.00385% of the population doing 33% of the crime! This guy is one of them. Lock him up.

You've all heard the Manosphere bros, feminist bloggers, & media midwits complain that '50% of marriages end in divorce'. Yeah, if you got married in the 1970s. But if you got married in the 2010s, over 85% of marriages lasted at least 10 years... and they're on track to have a…
It looks like new marriages are (shockingly) stronger than in past decades. 🧵
Can’t believe I’ve lived far enough into the future to learn the first slur for robots

A Russian sees a drone laying in wait to ambush his vehicle. Conducts a short-halt and engages the drone. This tactic, ambush drones, has been successful for both Ukrainians and Russians. The drone will wait for a vehicle to pass, potentially conserving energy, then engage.
RIP. I never was into wrestling, but "WrestleMania" and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant still reverb in the past of this 80s kid.

Some people did not quite understand, so this needs explanation. Concentrated liquidity in ranges (like Uniswap3 and others doing that) tend to have liquidity from price A to price B. And this range of prices for stable pairs is VERY tight. Asset sometimes like to go out of…

You see alot of folks posting pictures of their rigs and guns and whatnot, but rarely see anyone out in the woods doing old school land navigation. Perishable skills!
