Always someone better at what you're trying to do. Don't pay attention to that, get better at a lot of things and you win. Think on generational timelines

I'm in! I'll get my actual tower build out of storage for this isn't! Hell to the Yeah! 🤘🏼

This is how you build big hamstrings at home. No equipment needed. Just kneel on a pillow and hook your feet under a piece of heavy furniture. Put additional weight on it if necessary.
Building up to a proper Nordic curl without any arm assistance will take a long time, so I recommend the following progression:
At first, use your full palms to push yourself off the floor. Once that becomes easy, push with just your fingertips. Then, start subtracting fingers one by one. The fewer fingers you use, the less your arms will be able to help.
I'm currently down to using just my thumbs, and feel I'm getting close to getting my first unassisted Nordic curl.
For fast progress, do four sets of ten reps every other day. Use your arms only as much as you need to help you complete the movement. The last reps should be hard and slow ("grinders").
Final note: You can also do this exercise by having a training partner hold your ankles down or sit on your heels, but I don't recommend this, as that makes you dependent on another person for your training, and that will mess with your consistency.

Today, the calendar makes a right triangle, for the last time this century.
This Saturday is October 24, 2026.
Write it as 10/24/26 or 24/10/26, and the same beautiful relationship appears:
10² + 24² = 26²
100 + 576 = 676
But here’s what makes today special.
There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples. Only a handful fit our calendar.
Using the rule
month² + day² = (last two digits of the year)²,
the month cannot exceed 12, and the day cannot exceed 31. Those small limits leave exactly 12 qualifying dates in this century.
Today is the last.
The next will be March 4, 2105:
3² + 4² = 5²
That is a wait of more than 78 years.
An infinite family of triangles. Just twelve appearances on a century’s calendar.
Happy Pythagorean Triple Day.
At 15!? Fuck yes... That's right when I had a big friend group change and really drove me to a darker path than I probably would have gone 🤘🏼👍🏼
Now THIS is history 😂
Il y a un London Bridge en plein désert de l'Arizona. Et c'est le vrai.
Londres l'a vendu en 1968. Il a été réinauguré là-bas il y a 55 ans, le 10 octobre 1971.
Ce pont de granit enjambe la Tamise depuis 1831. Mais au XXe siècle, il ne supporte plus la circulation automobile.
Il s'enfonce dans le fleuve. En 1924, un côté est déjà 7 à 10 centimètres plus bas que l'autre.
La ville de Londres décide de le remplacer. Et de vendre l'ancien.
En avril 1968, un industriel américain, Robert McCulloch, l'achète pour 2,46 millions de dollars.
Il vient de fonder une ville nouvelle en Arizona, au bord d'un lac de barrage : Lake Havasu City. Il cherche à y attirer des visiteurs.
Chaque bloc de granit de la façade est numéroté. Il y en a plus de 10 000.
Les pierres passent par le canal de Panama et débarquent en Californie. Des camions les emmènent dans le désert.
Le pont est remonté sur la terre ferme, autour d'une structure en béton. Le chantier dure 3 ans et coûte 7 millions de dollars de plus.
Le 10 octobre 1971, le lord-maire de Londres vient l'inaugurer devant des milliers de spectateurs.
Au programme : feux d'artifice, parachutistes, montgolfières.
Ensuite, on creuse un canal sous ses arches et on le remplit d'eau.
Le London Bridge enjambe aujourd'hui un bras de lac, à plus de 8 000 kilomètres de Londres.

America didn't just steal the West from Mexico. We reached an agreement for it. Mexico's government was crashing. Their budget was 8 million pesos. Their expenses were 26 million pesos. This was obviously unsustainable.
The US offered to buy the land for what was worth $636 million in today's dollars. We also assumed all U.S. Citizen debts owed by Mexico (worth about $140 million today). Yes, we had defeated Mexico, and could easily have seized the land. BUT WE DIDN'T. We paid for it.
Six years later, Mexico wanted more money, so we made the Gadsden purchase which got us southern Arizona & New Mexico. This was another $350 million in modern value for land no one lived on. Eventually we got Tucson out of it.
So next time some activist tells you we "stole" land from Mexico, here is chapter and verse.
1) The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was legally binding. Mexico signed it.
2) we paid for the land when Mexico needed the income. The purchased land was in fact a major drain on Mexico's finances, and it was a relief to the Mexican government to offload it back then. No doubt there is seller's regret now.
3) it was also paid for in blood.
I had 23 acres of N.TX hillside that I was honestly going to attempt a castle/bunker style co-op community but I screwed up some financial planning and the IRS @IRSnews essentially screwed me over....
Looks bomb though!
This is the Way 🤘🏼
No wonder Keanu Reeves chose Alexandra Grant,
People always say Alexandra looks a decade older than him, but I think this thinking itself is wrong. Keanu is 61 and Alexandra is 50, just a 9-year age gap. In Hollywood, it's so hard to find such an age-appropriate couple, and no one talks about that.
I feel the reason is very simple. Keanu is the most grounded, coolest and selfless person in Hollywood. He takes the subway, wears old clothes, never puts on an A-list celebrity act. And he chose a woman with substance - an artist.
Alexandra is the same. Simple and sophisticated. She doesn't hide her grey hair, doesn't hide her wrinkles, no plastic surgery. There is nothing artificial about her. This authenticity is exactly what Keanu needed.
And secondly, she accepts Keanu with his pain. Any other girlfriend would have a problem if her partner couldn't let go of his past, but Alexandra understands his pain.
For me, age is just a number, soul matters. If they are happy together, we should be happy for them too. They are not together to please anyone else, they are comfortable in their own skin. That's REAL. They are a perfect couple.

PADA TAHUN 2012, SEORANG PEMILIK JARINGAN RESTORAN SUSHI ASAL JEPANG TERBANG KE SOMALIA DAN MENGAJARKAN PARA BAJAK LAUT CARA MENANGKAP IKAN TUNA — DAN 'SECARA MANDIRI MENGAKHIRI SERANGAN BAJAK LAUT DI SOMALIA...'
Pada tahun 2011, bajak laut Somalia menyerang 237 kapal dan menahan ratusan pelaut sebagai sandera dalam satu waktu dan menuntut uang tebusan jutaan dolar...
Kebanyakan orang Amerika mengetahui masalah ini dari satu insiden — pembajakan kapal Maersk Alabama dengan kaptennya, Richard Phillips, pada tahun 2009, yang berakhir dengan penembak jitu Navy SEAL dan dibikin film Hollywood dimana aktor Tom Hanks berperan sebagai Captain Phillips...
Dua tahun kemudian, kapal perang dari AS, Uni Eropa, NATO, China, India, dan Jepang berpatroli di Teluk Aden, dan gak satu pun bisa menghentikan serangan bajak laut...
Kemudian seorang pemilik restoran sushi dari Tokyo terbang ke Somalia dan pergi ke pesisir untuk berbicara dengan para bajak laut...
Namanya Kiyoshi Kimura, pemilik jaringan Sushi Zanmai — pria yang dijuluki Jepang sebagai Raja Tuna, yang membayar rekor $3,2 juta untuk satu tuna sirip biru Januari ini...
Menurut pengakuannya sendiri, dia pergi sekitar tahun 2012 dan menyimpulkan bahwa para bajak laut itu adalah nelayan yang kehilangan pekerjaan karena ikan di perairan mereka udah dihabiskan oleh kapal pukat asing...
Jadi katanya ia memberi mereka empat kapal penangkap ikan, mengajari mereka menangkap tuna sirip kuning, menyediakan freezer untuk menyimpan hasil tangkapan, dan berjanji akan membeli setiap ikan...
"Mereka bahkan gak suka merompak," katanya... "Saya menyarankan agar mereka menangkap ikan tuna aja, dan mencari nafkah yang membanggakan untuk keluarga mereka..."
Serangan bajak laut Somalia turun dari 237 pada tahun 2011 menjadi 15 pada tahun 2013, dan pada tahun 2015 pembajakan udah berhenti...
International Maritime Bureau memberi kredit kepada Angkatan Laut, penjaga pantai, dan pemerintah Somalia...
Nama Kimura gak ada di dalam daftar itu...
Begitulah cara seorang penjual sushi dari Tokyo untuk selamanya "mengakhiri pembajakan di perairan Somalia seorang diri..."
😂 perfect time to buy $AAPL with the news about cutting back 18 pro... b/c that means EVERYONE wants the frickin folder phone coming out @MelissaLeeCNBC @RiskReversal @GuyAdami @Downtown omg the sales and refresh process is gonna be DOPE
It's a sad day Trump backs fucking Russia for diesel with Ukraine and Europe dealing with this bullshit 🇺🇦🫡🇺🇸🗽🦅
Jeebus @straczynski ... Now I HAVE to read about your background... LOVE B5 and my childhood was somewhat formed by it. Looking forward to more sir! 🤠🫡

Scientists are losing their minds over this paper.
They proved every mitochondria in your body is a tiny quantum device running at 71 THz.
And it responds to light.
Researchers detected a mysterious 71.0-terahertz vibration signal. this frequency is only present in healthy, living cells and tissues.
exact moment the cell dies or the mitochondrial structures are broken apart, the signal vanishes completely.
How does this happen?
Classical physics has always struggled to explain the high energy-efficiency of life.
So the team built a quantum model of light-matter coupling and discovered something called a "mito-polariton".
It is a literal quantum superposition state that forms when light couples with lipid ch2 bonds inside functional mitochondria.
This quantum resonance splits the intrinsic vibration mode into two levels, creating that bizarre 71 thz frequency that you only see in living things.
Why does this matter?
Because this quantum state actually acts as a highly efficient channel to modulate atp production in living cells.
our bodies literally use quantum mechanics to generate the energy that keeps us alive.
Now this is what really hits the hammer... @LizAnnSonders great point. I need to be producing in my age! All that FIRE stuff might be bullshit and undermining the values that build the critical infrastructure a country demands
Most people get majority of income from selling their labor, however, that type of income has been declining as % of all personal income (long-term trend dating back to 1960s); in addition to wages, Americans now receive significant income from investments, rental properties, and government transfers like Social Security … suggests Fed’s inflation-fighting tools may become less effective (slowing economy via tighter monetary policy doesn’t work as well when people have substantial non-job income)
@EPBResearch @JohnFMauldin
This is so on point @JohnLeFevre 😂
Although the fancy cars seem these days to think they own the road until they get a little too close for comfort
Things you learn in Texas:
1. The guy in the F-150 is worth a lot more than the dude in a Mercedes.
2. The small business owner from a state school is smarter than the majority of Ivy League grads.
3. There’s more racism in Connecticut country clubs than in rural honky-tonks.
4. Rednecks are more honorable than investment bankers.
5. The man who looks like he can’t afford the tab could buy the building.
6. They don’t ask for a deck before the meeting.
7. Prep school is where they send the problem kids.
8. If he’s wearing dusty boots, a 2XL Magellan shirt, a gold Rolex, and has a bulletproof case on his iPhone 12, you’ve already lost the negotiation.
9. “How’s business?” is a real question. “What do you do?” is a New York question.
10. Tips are bigger and egos are smaller.
11. A handshake still closes deals that a term sheet would kill.
12. The wealth is in real estate, oil, or a company nobody in Manhattan has ever heard of.
13. Your wife or daughter will never struggle finding help to change a tire.
14. Nobody asks where you went to college.
15. A weekend invitation to their ranch makes you part of the family.
