GM. Fall has fallen, under 32 degrees for two days in a row in the inland NW.

GM.

If you are American, you don't hate the deep state enough. The deep state radicalized idiots against Musk and Tesla, leading to burning Tesla showrooms, attacks on private individuals' property, and threats against Tesla employees, all to protect the literal billions of dollars of grift that Doge exposed.

GM. Do as many things as you can with your kids. Every day.

GM. Apparently there are only a few hundred thousand active users on Nostr/Primal. You are so early.

GM. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming, but we've already burnt the boats. Everyone views the coming world through the filter and biases of their own incentives. It's scary to be near the tip of the spear, and many of us in this space are near the tip of many, each of which will require the threading of a thousand needles to make it through the next five years. And the vast majority have NO IDEA what is coming.

GM. Already more than half way through the semester.

GM. Nothing like taking a new guitar player's guitar and getting it in perfect shape.

GM. Why are we tied with Leeds right now?

GM. Fantastic day ahead, Friday.

GM. What a day already. Remember don't trust anything you see on the socials. For the rest of your life. Seriously.

GM. Happy Birthday to me.

GM. Don't even have to look to see the pump, I just need to see the Rektbot going nuts.

GM. Not going to dox anything, but I have fixed all of the network issues in my location by moving to OpenWRT. Fantastic hardware.

GM. Parents are here still, wonderful.

GM, parents in town to visit for the week. Hug your parents if you still have them.

GM, Ill be posting a few videos from a friend of mine who has a YT channel who has had a few videos taken down.

Some of you know that I have one foot in the Bitcoin world and one in the Tesla world. Farzad (the channel owner here) worked for Tesla and is now a content creator around Tesla in Austin. He has been dipping his toe in the Bitcoin world over the last few years. Here, he discusses the "What's the problem?" video with its creator Joe Bryan, with Joe clearly and articulately explaining inflation, the big red button, money printing, and why Bitcoin is the only solution to the problem. GM, by the way:)

Amazing how even simple incentives work. I teach a Senior-level marketing class at a large state school. Over the weekend, my six teams of 4 apiece were tasked with coming up with business ideas based on SpaceX's 75$/Kg to orbit data. They are allowed to send anything they want to orbit for 75$/Kg. I have a bag of dollar-store toys that I use for prizes in class. Once they knew there was a prize for first place (judged by their peers) they went from competitive to ruthless. Covering their mouths when talking, hiding in the corners of the classroom, taunting the other teams, etc. Their final deliverable (along with their content and slide deck) was a 2 minute pitch video that they had to create. I gave no guidance other than what needed to be in it, but they had to figure out how to make it. The winning team was space-based pharmaceuticals, but that wasn't the funniest. The second place team, "SpaceDeath" would launch your remains into low-Earth orbit and have you burn up in the atmosphere for the price of a traditional cremation. Their presentation was hilarious. Anyway, the winning students got to pick from the prize bag without looking. One got a keychain laser pointer, one got a Tesla Matchbox car, and one got a glowing bracelet. The envy in the classroom was palpable:)

GM, just got to the part of the year where it's pitch black in the morning.
