SpaceX is almost impossible to value using any conventional metric. It is a FrankenCorp comprising 3 utterly distinct businesses, that differ in every major business aspect (costs, market, growth prospects, revenue model, etc.)

It's the start of GAY PRIDE MONTH. As an older gay man I'm not proud. My generation fought SO hard for assimilation, NOT distinction. WE ACHIEVED IT. We just wanted to have the same rights as anyone else. We wanted equality in the workplace, society, the right to marry, have children, families and be regular members of society after years of indescribable persecution, emotional and psychological damage. WE GOT THAT. No one cared anymore. We won. Future generations destroyed everything we worked so hard to create for FOR THEM. They alienated the public through their ridiculous antics and gender politics to the point that I would not be caught dead at a PRIDE event or associate myself with the rainbow flag, or anything to do with the community they have hijacked. I'm not proud. I'm ashamed. You, spoiled, entitled pink and blue haired little pricks, with no concept or regard for history have annihilated all of our suffering and hard work. You have nothing to be proud of and THERE ARE ONLY TWO SEXES. DEAL WITH IT. @dnc @HRC @Pride @LGBAlliance_USA @lgbinternationl

Priceless!

🟥 Czy Henry Nowak mógł przeżyć? Dr Krzysztof Magier @DrMagier , lekarz pediatra i były konsul honorowy RP w Cowes, przeanalizował nagrania z policyjnej kamery nasobnej pokazujące śmierć Henry'ego Nowaka. Dr Magier jest lekarzem prowadzącym oddział intensywnej terapii dziecięcej, z doświadczeniem w szkoleniach z medycyny pola walki oraz po specjalistycznym kursie leczenia ciężkich urazów (w tym ran postrzałowych i kłutych). Nie zgadza się z opinią patologa i sędziego, że Henry Nowak nie miał żadnych szans na przeżycie i ze skucie go w kajdanki nic w zasadzie nie zmieniło. Wręcz przeciwnie – istnieje duże prawdopodobieństwo, że to interwencja policji przyczyniła się do jego śmierci. Przeanalizował on raport z sekcji, który wskazuje na uszkodzenie żyły podobojczykowej jako główne źródło krwawienia i tłumaczy, gdzie leży problem. U zdrowej osoby krwawienie żylne odbywa się pod niskim ciśnieniem i często samoogranicza się dzięki powstającemu naturalnie skrzepowi, a samo zbliżenie krawędzi rany i ucisk otaczających tkanek domyka żyłę na tyle, że spowalnia albo nawet zatrzymuje krwawienie. Z nagrania z policyjnej kamery nasobnej wynika, że gdy policja przybyła na miejsce (prawdopodobnie 5-10 minut po zranieniu), Henry był na tyle przytomny, że mówił dość głośno. Nie był zatem jeszcze w stanie terminalnym. Po wykręceniu rąk do tyłu i skuciu za plecami najprawdopodobniej doszło do rozciągnięcia żyły, rozerwania skrzepu i gwałtownego nasilenia krwawienia. W ciągu zaledwie ok. trzech minut stracił przytomność i zmarł. Osoby z podejrzeniem urazów wewnętrznych nigdy nie powinny być gwałtownie przemieszczane ani szarpane – takie działanie może zniszczyć naturalny skrzep i doprowadzić do masywnego krwotoku wewnętrznego. Zamiast natychmiastowego wezwania zespołu ratownictwa medycznego i przekazania pacjenta w ręce ratowników, policja go skuła. Gdyby na miejscu jako pierwsi pojawili się paramedycy, szanse Henry’ego na przeżycie byłyby znacznie większe. "50%" - pisze dr Magier. Ratownicy mogliby szybko założyć kroplówkę, podać płyny zwiększające objętość krwi krążącej oraz kwas traneksamowy stabilizujący skrzep, a w razie potrzeby wykonać dekompresję igłową (wkłucie grubej i długiej igły w płuco), bo problemem nie był tyle brak funkcji płuca, ale ucisk zalanego krwią płuca na serce i śródpiersie, który blokuje krążenie. Co gorsza, incydent miał miejsce zaledwie kilka minut jazdy samochodem (2–3 minuty karetką na sygnale) od Southampton University Hospital – regionalnego Major Trauma Centre dysponującego pełnym zapleczem specjalistów, procedur i sprzętu. "Jestem przekonany, że gdyby Henry dotarł tam żywy, lekarze nie pozwoliliby mu umrzeć" - pisze dr Magier. Podsumowując: agresywna interwencja policji, zamiast ratować życie, doprowadziła do śmierci przez nieodpowiednie postępowanie z ciężko ranionym człowiekiem, mimo że najwyższej klasy opieka była w zasięgu kilku minut. "Obawiam się, że Sędzia i patolog byli zbyt łaskawi dla policji" - pisze dr Magier.

I used to cast my lot with those protesting the demotion of Pluto to "Dwarf Planet"... "ripping out the very heart of my '9 planets' childhood!" But after reading the excellent Smithsonian book The Planets, I've changed my mind and made my peace. The division is *not* arbitrary, it turns out. A regular planet is one whose gravity is sufficient to sweep its orbit of debris; not so the Dwarf Planets. And besides, Eris' diameter is a full **twenty kilometers** more than Pluto's—were we just supposed to promote this later-comer to planetary status? Everyone's childhoods gets shattered either way, so much better to shatter on the side of objectivity. And btw, speaking of planetary debates... 2 moons, Ganymede of Jupiter, and Titan of Saturn, are both bigger than Mercury. And SEVEN moons are bigger than Pluto (and Eris.) So maybe just be glad we aren't being told to call them "Dwarf Moon Planets" or such. So go spend time worrying about world events, make peace with Pluto's status, and learn about its sister Dwarf Planet Eris!

Police in the UK needn't worry. Those are ceremonial bricks.

So heartening seeing the British people fighting back against the insanity into which their country has descended. #ForHenry #HenryNowak

This is a perfect example of why it's probably already too late to stop the inexorable takeover of the US by Muslims. They've used the same playbook since the Dark Ages, when their cult was founded by the warmongering anti-Semitic, misogynist, homophobic, sadistic, schizophrenic, pedophile Mohammed: if you can't take over militarily, you take over demographically. Due to the large donations now being made to politicians of any stripe that are in charge, there will be no practical way realistically to stop the things like: mass prayers impeding daily events; loud broadcast calls to prayer; demands for things like halal slaughter and bans on pork; restrictions on dog ownership; demands to tolerate burquas; and on and on. Where they've taken over local councils, they impose their religious restrictions on the community. (There is no conception whatsoever of "individual rights" in Islam) You see the outrageous disproportionate exposure Ilhan Omar gets on her public pronouncements. Etc. It's *not* a conspiracy driven by some secret central authority; it is openly prescribed in Islamic texts and openly preached by its Imams, including in Western Mosques. "Death to America" is not some meaningless catchphrase; it literally means: "Replace America with an Islam State." And wealthy Muslims around the world want to help in every way they can, especially by defusing potential opposition by likely politicians such as a blue-state governor of TX. The money works its magic in untold ways, from denying prominent chairmanships to outspoken critics of Islam, to whispers to withdraw bills contrary to Islamic expansionist interests, and so on. Every once in awhile a "trial balloon" like that proposed TX all-Muslim city will get knocked down; but it will just re-emerge again later, with less opposition. Most Americans are too naive to understand this process, and may reject it for its conspiratorial tones. But that's because most Americans really have no idea how basic ideas operate and drive events. Yet it is happening...

Halal is a barbaric, Dark Ages form of slaughter; fitting for the Dark Ages Death Cultists demanding it. Just remember, every time you eat "halal" you are eating meat from an animal that was brutally sacrificed and bled out.

Can y'all EVEN IMAGINE the liberal meltdowns if this happens?!?😂😂😂

Common sense. "The woman is a friggin lunatic."

I read when the original lawsuit was going on that she had once remarked to a friend she was going to watch the latest episode of The Apprentice, a show she loved. What woman would get sexually assaulted by a man, then like and watch his TV show? None. Zero. She's clearly *never* been sexually assaulted, because she would know that instinctively.

"Fucking legend." ❤️❤️😹😹❤️❤️

In "Bubbles and Crashes", Goldfarb and Kirsch offer hypotheses for what conditions must obtain (and not) for there to be a "bubble" (think "Tulips"; late-90s Internet, etc.) They then test their hypothesis by seeing whether a bubble actually arose following the introduction of a variety of technologies, from radio to transistors, nylon hose to rubber, automobiles to transistors, and many more. Their factors seem robust, and were able to predict both bubbles that did arise (eg internal combustion engine, radio, Internet commerce,) and those that didn't (eg diesel engine, tv, mainframe commerce.) Their theory involves the interplay of 4 factors: 1. High uncertainty 2. Compelling narrative 3. Novice investors 4. "Pure play" market offerings (at least some.) AI fits all of these perfectly. Thus... AI is currently a bubble. Don't scream and snarl like I'm swearing or uttering blasphemies. A Bubble is a Bubble. It's why there continues to be a frantic race, and almost uncontrolled spending. Because even though there is a powerful narrative, and belief exists that a concrete value proposition will arise; it hasn't yet. So investors, including novice investors, are buying shares of companies like Google and Meta, and frankly novice institutional investors are pouring billions into private funding rounds. (G&H "novice" investors can include otherwise experienced investors with zero experience in the new space.) This is a bubble beyond anything remotely seen in history; very likely multiples of ALL combined bubbles prior. Before it ends, many investors are likely to lose their shirts; if AI provision is largely a utility, its profits can't rise much above a fraction of costs, and capital entry costs. But all the majors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI) are locked in fierce feature and efficiency/scale battles; none are likely to emerge decided winners (eg... from which electric wholesaler providing you with power do you find your electricity most juicy and satisfying???). Until a relatively stable market emerges, particularly with stable costs and revenue, we will remain in this crazed state of meteoric valuations. BTW... who were the most boring and uninteresting firms in the 90s? Some boring book retailer right? And a bit better search engine? Who'd buy stocks in that, right??? 😼 Act carefully. Invest carefully. And above all, don't pretend you know things you don't...
