Also don’t promise stuff you just can’t deliver on. Like how a Tesla would be full self driving in 2014 but next year, or that amazing truck that would be the end game for every company moving stuff, or the new roadster from 2017

Yes and even if he would be smart, I know really smart people that would probably suck at running the economy. Having 0 experience doing something makes you a n00b by default.

The weirdest thing is that people expected a buch of real-estate guys to somehow be good at international diplomacy.

I don’t expect my butcher to also be good at cutting my hair!

Thanks, it’s kind of weird how much change this made in a few months. It also really changed my relationship with my parents and made it less superficial. Can highly recommend to dig in your own past a bit and see what you pushed way down, and actually deal with it.

Not literally, but way too much, and I didn’t even realize how often I grabbed my phone without even thinking about it.

This is still not really clear, but a lot of experts think they have it (this is what I hear on podcasts that invite those experts). But even if there is no kill switch, they still need American hardware and software upgrades and maintenance. So America can always decide just not to support it anymore.

Exactly this is why I get all my news from Facebook and X - my uncle

I recently got a small basked a little larger than my phone. I put my phone in it when I get home from work. It’s a good example for my kids and it helps me to actually be present with my kids instead of being on my phone half of the time.

I really hate services that use 2FA but the app runs on your phone. Like the android app for ms teams still wants me to enter a 2FA code that I recieve on the same phone! This adds zero extra security, the teams app should just directly ask for my fingerprint if that is even necessary.

Also it’s not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.

I’m 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn’t even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.

What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don’t have emotions, they don’t talk about emotions, etc.

I think most old European cities have stores and people living above the store. Houses are way to expensive to not use them, and lots of small stores don’t need 2 stories.

I also think this is a cultural difference. The comic book obsession seems more like an american thing. In the Netherlands and Belgium there is also a big comic book appreciation, but it’s much less about heroism and more humorous.

I was recently thinking it’s says a lot about a culture, where kids shoot up schools regularly, but immigrants getting a terrible treatment never seem to shoot up an ICE office or other government building.

Not American but from EU, have a 3 day survival box with water and food.

There is a real chance Russia at some point attacks, I don’t think they will drop a nuke any time. But they might try to sabotage the electricity network or financial system. So if a large (cyber) attack happens my family has enough for 3 days, a week if we have to.

Off course I knew this, but it still blew my mind a little.

So how many times is Elon getting arrested for spreading Russian propaganda?

There was a time before Windows where a lot of people used MS-DOS and it was all terminal. Maybe computers where less popular back in those days because of the learning curve, but still many people used a PC with just the terminal.

Even with millennials (1981 to 1996) there is a big difference when you where born.

If you are an early millennial you grew up with MS-DOS, so you had to learn the terminal to get anything done. You probably had your first smartphone after you where 25.

If you are a late millennial you grew up with Windows XP and probably had a smartphone as a teen.

Or they are all just very incompetent, leaking classified information should have serious consequenses.

Would you really want to bet the future of your country on Boeing making something? They dropped the ball on passenger airplanes and a spacecraft
