    Tesla is the right company to do it, because it needs high-powered IC, very different from the rest of the chip-making world's focus on low-powered, energy efficient chips.

    Follow up: In my book, “The Baton and The Cross,” I explore how the Church shaped Putin’s Russia — and the part it has played in enabling the current bloodshed. I also demonstrate how, throughout its 1,000-year history, the Church has always sat at the right hand of power and done whatever it takes to ensure its survival, its influence and its own enrichment. The cases of opportunism and overreach today echo those from the past — and the story of Hilarion is no exception. Until the full-scale invasion, he was part of Kirill’s inner circle and had a stellar career. Born Grigory Alfeyev, he studied music before he left to become a monk and took the name Hilarion. He has composed choral works and written a slew of theological books. From 2009, he was Metropolitan of Volokolamsk and headed the Moscow Patriarchate’s version of the foreign ministry. He was also a member of the Holy Synod and rector of the theological studies center named after Saints Cyril and Methodius. Some saw him as the Patriarch’s successor. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/11/07/russian-orthodox-priests-dont-practice-what-they-preach-a91083

    I heard David Sacks on a podcast call him ‘Scam Bankman Fraud’. lol I’m guessing that’s personal. Given his role in the administration that doesn’t bode well for his ability to purchase a pardon.

    @jon-nyc said in Friends in high places: Saying he didn’t know who the guy was who he just sold a pardon to looked like a gotcha moment to me. Yeah, I heard about that. Kind of funny “My sons are involved in crypto much more than I— me. I— I know very little about it, other than one thing. It’s a huge industry,” he said. “And if we’re not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is.” Despite saying he didn’t know who CZ is, Trump said Zhao “was treated really badly by the Biden administration.” “They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That’s my opinion. I was told about it,” the president said. “I don’t know the man at all. I don’t think I ever met him,” Trump went on. “I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim, just like I was and just like many other people, of a vicious, horrible group of people in the Biden administration.” Trump’s claim that he knows nothing about a high-profile clemency recipient comes as he and Republicans have asserted that pardons issued by Biden using an “autopen” are invalid because, they contend, the president was not aware of what he was signing.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Personally? I like DST…: Sorry, but my sleep cycle follows the sun. Trying to find the article, but there was a lady who lived in a cave (intentionally for research) for 14(?) months without any access to clocks. If I remember, her sleep/awake cycle ended up being something like 30 some hours. Sleep for 14 hours. Awake for 20.
