I'll believe Musk is a trillionaire when the free float of spcx is 95%, not 5%

Sorry, just copy pasted the headline they gave me at the time. One interesting thing I noticed about the big boy locomotive is that the whistle is much lower pitched and more pleasant sounding than typical operating locomotives today

The biggest steam locomotive is whistle-stopping across the U.S.(npr.org)

My favorite knot for a drawstring is a sliding type knot. Can't remember the name but it's like a prusik or hitch knot. It stays tight, but you can easily slide it to tighten or loosen it, and you don't need to ever re-tie it

I have a hard time imagining how spx stock will drop to a reasonable price. You have to be a true believer at its current valuation, so who is going to sell? Maybe if enough insiders or stock options start selling it will drop.

They depict how Microsoft bought double fine at the end of the psychonauts 2 documentary. If you watch the documentary it's hard not to think it may not have been a genius financial decision.

Or even worse - as the homepage for local government/department.

If you weren't for the Patriot act you were pro terrorist. If you suggested that the terrorists might be motivated by us involvement in the middle east rather than pure evil then you were probably also evil. Mob mentality has been arou

RKLB has a price/revenue near 100, not much better than SPCX.

A couple comments - Internal link to blog gives 403 https://townsquare.cauenapier.com/blog/ Townsquare is probably not the best name - there are tons of things already with that name

If it's your forum you can do whatever you want with it.

Not to mention the petroleum industry funding anti climate change "science" for the past 50 years.

To paraphrase a description of inform 7 I once heard in a podcast - Inform 7 awkwardly pretends to be regular English, similar to how text adventures awkwardly pretend that the player has meaningful freedom to act in the game.

Ah, I remember now. It's been too long, maybe I need to read them again :)

What was the one about bridges and weight limits? I remember the one about the sun being the size of a quarter.

I don't know if that's completely true. Google, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia etc are somewhat expensive, but not ridiculously so based on earnings and growth. Tesla, spacex and openai are in a different universe, though I honestly can&#x

Self help books definitely have a bad reputation, often with good reason - lots of cliches, preachy, etc. My favorite advice (and central message I think) from "how to win friends" is to really have the other person's interes

"Nerd" means whatever you want it to mean. I've known people who called themselves nerds because they played d&d and smoked tons of weed. I've known other people who were really focused on technical stuff. I'm s

One of the things I like about Python is the lack of the increment operator.

If a decision is smart due to having access to non-public information, that is more a question of ignorance than intelligence. I can think of all sorts of successful decisions that would definitely be stupid for a normal person to try, due

That's fair, although now and then I have to do some repetitive task and using bufdo or a macro has saved a decent amount of time. And compared to something like notepad, all the little details probably save time. My average time savin

Can you provide a reference? From a Reuters article: > prosecutors said Van Dyke bet more than $33,000 on Polymarket between December 27, 2025, and January 2, 2026, that Maduro would soon be out of office and that U.S. forces would soo

Many people here are talking about how more powerful people are also corrupt and are getting away with it. All corruption is bad. This soldier put the life of everyone on the mission in danger by doing this.

I get migraines and didn't have any problem. Bring unable to focus is more of a symptom or early warning rather than a trigger, at least for me. I'm not sure what the trigger is, maybe being dehydrated or something I ate.

Lately when I watch a video on YouTube, every single one of the recommended videos is AI slop. Not sure what the next 5 years holds. It does make me question the argument that bad AI generated content is equivalent to bad human generated co

With the current moon mission I'm reminded of how whenever someone from NASA is interviewed they like talking about how the billions spent are justified because of the practical results of the research - Velcro, Tang, etc. It always se

I liked the recent Nova episode on neanderthals. They talked about how awful the last ice age was for the neanderthals despite being adapted to cold climates, and how modern humans survived it by staying away until it got warmer.
