A 1h20 flight sounds a lot faster than a 3 hour train. Door to door, it usually isn't.
I timed eight busy city pairs from city center to city center. When the train ride is about 3 hours or less, it ties or beats the plane, even with just an hour at the airport.
ALT Stacked bars comparing door-to-door time by train and by flight, city center to city center. Tokyo to Osaka: train 3h09, flight 3h45. New York to Washington: train 4h02, flight 4h05. Madrid to Barcelona: train 4h06, flight 4h01. London to Paris: train 4h24, flight 4h17. Each bar splits into getting to the station or airport, check-in and security, time on board, and getting into the city.

A new moon, 11/11, and Friday the 13th are all happening in the same week
With 11/11, Friday the 13th, a new moon, and Mercury retrograde ending, some are seeing it as a week of major energy shifts. From fresh starts and making wishes to letting go of the past, each event carries its own meaning.

5am to 6am everyday for four years cus all the high schools near me were ghetto asf like metal detectors/shootings/daycare in-house. College was mad easy after cus subway commute only 45 mins each way.
Someone should write an article on high school kids in NYC and their insane commutes. I've spoken to kids commuting two hours both ways everyday. One kid at the Tech open house told me he comes to Brooklyn from "past Flushing". Mind blowing.

PEA may reduce psychosis and unusual thought patterns by lowering immune-related inflammation.
PEA is a natural compound that reduces inflammation. In a small 12-week study, 16 high-risk-for-psychosis people took PEA daily.
Mild psychotic symptoms improved significantly:
→ Overall symptoms down 30%
→ Unusual thoughts down over 50%.
Ultramicronized-PEA, 600 mg/day. No reported side effects.
“A reduction in psychotic symptoms was observed in subjects at clinical high-risk for psychosis receiving PEA, possibly through immune-inflammatory modulation.” xitter.gq/lowmegatron/status/206…
PEA exerts anti-endotoxin effects by downregulating the TLR4-mediated endotoxin response.
When activated by endotoxin, TLR4 triggers NF-κB and related pathways, driving inflammation (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), nitric oxide, and COX-2.
This is protective against infection but, when chronically or inappropriately activated, becomes a driver of inflammatory, metabolic, and “mental” health issues.
Research comes from cell studies, human biopsy tissue, and animal research.
“Furthermore, we studied PEAultra correlation with PPARα and TLR4, demonstrating that PEAultra inhibited TLR4 pathway through a PPARα independent pathway. Taken together, our results clearly show that this new formulation of PEA may be considered as a possible therapeutic approach against Th1-induced colitis.”

There was a poll in one of the paid Discord's asking for everyone's YTD. ~70% were negative, and the single most common answer was "down more than 20%".
Don't worry, the guy running it is still up 100% from front-running his paying customers

Alright America, it’s time for us to fly back home to Germany. 🇺🇸🇩🇪
We can’t lie, we’re really, really sad to leave. What an incredible trip this has been.
So many new experiences, so many places we’ve visited and so many amazing people we’ve met along the way. We’re just incredibly thankful that we even had the opportunity to do something like this. We know that being able to travel for this long is far from normal and we don’t take any of it for granted.
This entire trip turned out to be even better than we could have ever imagined.
We’ve been talking about how much we’d love to just keep traveling. Another few weeks on the road, Christmas in America, going to the College Football Playoffs. If we could, we’d do it without thinking twice.
A few people have asked us whether it ever gets tiring. Driving for hours almost every day, constantly changing hotels and always being on the move.
And the answer is: Not at all.
Even after all these weeks, we were still just as excited about exploring this country as we were on day one. There wasn’t a single point where we felt like we’d had enough. We genuinely enjoyed every part of this adventure.
We also really hope you guys enjoyed following along as much as we enjoyed sharing everything with you. Meeting so many of you at stadiums, on campuses and in random places across the country made this trip even more special. Those are memories we’ll never forget.
And then there’s college football. What started as something we were simply curious about has turned into a sport we’ve completely fallen in love with. My two travel buddies are even seriously considering joining an American football team back in Hamburg now. One wants to become a kicker, the other a cornerback and start intercepting passes, haha. We’ll see how that goes.
I don’t really know what else to say. These past weeks have just been incredible and I wish we could do it all over again.
Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, helped us, showed us around, gave us recommendations or simply followed our journey. You made this trip even better than we could have ever imagined.
Until next time, America! 🇺🇸❤️
Also buyouts are not counted in unemployment/fire rates
“Layoffs are down 44%”…: sounds like a recovery… but it isn’t one at all.
Take Washington, DC out of the comparison and the decline shrinks to about 24%. DC’s announced cuts fell from 303,778 through October last year to 11,873 this year. That swing accounts for roughly 60% of the national drop you guys!!
Then you look at tech cuts that are UP 21% to 171,501…. the most of any industry. Michigan is up 89%. Tennessee is up 68%.
Cuts are higher than last year in 24 states!!!
And Challenger says much of the hiring being announced is short-term, seasonal work. There ya have it- exactly as I’ve said.
So yes, the headline sounds better… but seriously… the underlying picture is a whole lot less comforting when you read all the details.
I’m sorry… but that’s not a broad-based labor market comeback no matter how they attempt to spin it. We are seeing straight up flattening in what is truly a very messy report.

These guys are dumping on us right?
Morgan Stanley:
We would highlight Sandisk, where at the current share price of $835 and buybacks in the range of 50% of revenue, they could repurchase >50% of the company between now and the end of 2028…We like to see most of valuation to be based on the current cycle, rather than paying a multiple on frothy numbers - we think that as stocks come down we are at that view. We like both Sandisk and Micron roughly equally at current levels. $MU $SNDK

I think people outside the South don't understand how big of a deal it is that a black man won a Mississippi Senate seat. Take all your moderate vs progressive stuff and stuff it, that's all a sideshow compared to the real issue here.
