Sofi app crashing during Spacex IPO

USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop. I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls. Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A man near me is eating a cold sandwich while wearing a jacket. In summer. Indoors. In Japan we would simply turn it down. Americans do not turn it down. And now I understand them better than they understand themselves. This cold is not an accident. This cold is a gift. The owner has built, inside his shop, a second season. He invites you in from the brutal heat and hands you the one thing the sun has denied you all day: a reason to be cold. To endure it is to be tempered. You walk in soft and sweating. You walk out sharp and clear, a slightly stronger person than you were. So I did not complain. I removed my outer layer and offered it to the woman at the next table, who was hugging herself. She said, "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you." She was not fine. Her lips were blue. But she, too, understood the training. She would not break first. I respected her deeply. The owner asked if everything was okay. "It is perfect," I said, through my teeth, which were chattering. "Thank you for the winter." He said, "...I can turn the AC down if you want?" I told him no. A man does not ask the mountain to be shorter. I stayed two hours. I ordered a hot coffee to survive. Then a second one, to hold. By the end I could no longer feel my hands, but my spirit had never been clearer. So now, on the hottest days, I seek out the coldest rooms. I sit. I shiver. I sharpen. And when I finally step back out into the summer heat, and it wraps around me like a warm bath, I feel it. Reborn. A man who has survived the winter, in August, indoors, for the price of a sandwich.

I’ve found my future shop ceiling. Can you imagine laying down to bench press, look up and all you see are the stars and bars? Instant PR’s every single lift.

This is interesting… Rep Dale Strong disclosed a purchase of IREN Limited he made Jan 28th. After three years in Congress, this is his first stock trade. It stands out because Rep. Strong serves as Vice Chair for Appropriations subcommittee on Science 5 days ago, that committee helped push through a bill that includes "restoring American energy dominance".

Just mass produce the square body F-150 again and America's soul would heal.

The comments on this post are really funny to read now Leadership matters but extremely few people who refer to themselves as leaders actually have the skillset Cignetti has it

“I wasn’t the fastest guy in the world. I wouldn’t have done well in an Olympiad or a math contest. But I like to ponder. And pondering things, just sort of thinking about it and thinking about it, turns out to be a pretty good approach.’ – Jim Simons

Saw a video ad for @MortgageChoice and immediately thought this.

“Make it taller and i’m in”

This is who I grew up with. Leadership who held people accountable. I guess I am spoiled

Looks like Ben left out the chapter that’ll teach me how to make money based off of Trump’s tweets
