I went to a burger restaurant called Five Guys. Because I am a modest man and was not very hungry, I ordered the "Little Fries." Little. A humble word for a humble stomach. Behind the counter, a young man in a red shirt filled a white paper cup to the brim with hot fried potatoes and stood the cup upright inside a brown paper bag. The transaction was complete. The vessel was full. Then the young man lost his mind. He picked up the metal scoop a second time, dug it deep into the steel basin, lifted a mountain of fries twice the size of the cup, and dumped them loose, directly into the bottom of the brown paper bag. They buried the burger. They buried the cup. I stepped back to the counter. "Excuse me," I said gently, so as not to embarrass him in front of his manager. "Your hand slipped. You missed the cup." He looked at me through the rising steam without blinking. "I didn't miss, boss," he said. "That's the topper. Bag fries." "Why not simply manufacture a larger cup?" "Because then it wouldn't be extra." I stood there holding a five-pound sack of potatoes and realized that Western economics cannot be taught in a classroom. They fill the cup to satisfy the contract. Then they fill the bag to satisfy their honor. By the time I walked to my car, the bottom half of the brown paper bag had turned completely translucent from hot peanut oil, glowing in the afternoon sun like a stained-glass window in a cathedral of salt. Remember that I ordered the Little. I did not dare ask what happens if a man orders the Large. I assume they simply ask for your car keys and fill the trunk. At lunch the next day, I asked my American coworker why a corporation would train every teenager in fifty states to pour an extra scoop into the bag after the customer has already paid. He thought about it for a second, then shrugged. "My dad used to run a diner," he said. "He always told me: never let a working man open a bag and feel like somebody counted his food." I stopped chewing. In one sentence, I finally understood this entire country. Prosperity is not having enough. Prosperity is refusing to count.

If you're gatekeeping advancements in your industry because "they have to be solved by humans" you're an asshole. The goal isn't for you to get credit, the goal is to move humanity forward. If you don't want cancer to be cured because AI would get the credit, get over yourself.

Dear US government, Since you've just blocked Fable and Mythos on critical national security grounds, here are some other tools that pose a similar threat to the American people: - Microsoft Teams - SAP - Salesforce - Jira - Outlook Please do what you must to save America 🇺🇸

JUST IN: The Dominican Republic reportedly plans to build a commercial spaceport in the small town of Oviedo.

PSA: Do not open your windows in Waymos. I was assaulted and robbed in a Waymo in the Mission District. I was punched three times in the face and head. Waymo treats criminals as pedestrians and stops moving, leaving you vulnerable. They gave me 5 free rides tho

Welcome to the Caribbean, Nimitz Carrier Strike Group! The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), the embarked Carrier Air Wing 17 (CVW-17), USS Gridley (DDG 101) and USNS Patuxent (T-AO 201) are the epitome of readiness and presence, unmatched reach and lethality, and strategic advantage.

SpaceX is considering several locations domestically and internationally to build the world’s most advanced spaceports!

Everyday Astronaut (arriba) VS Director oficial de la NASA (abajo). Que un youtuber sea capaz de darnos mejores imágenes que la agencia espacial más importante del mundo no tiene ningún sentido. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

More evidence for the sensitive period hypothesis: Boys are especially "imprinted" by the teams that won championships when boys were 8-12. Their brains are soaking up culture and values, weighted by prestige. Don't let social media choose who imprints and guides their brain dev

I actually think it's a great idea to build a big ballroom on the White House grounds. It's virtually impossible to hold events of any size there and they are always wasting millions on tents and heaters and chairs and lights and everything else. Stop acting like you have some emotional attachment to the East Wing. You don't.
