    Well, my two quantum stocks are up about 8x so hopefully it will continue to go up so that I can afford a gallon of gas.

    Factor in the number of graduates in each field and it might have something.

Gender Dysphoria is not the root cause , it’s a symptom. The fact that in over 90% of the cases it actually resolves itself through puberty tells you everything you need to know…

    I use Gemini (aka TARS) on a 2nd vertical monitor at work. I mostly type in questions such as figuring out the best technical query or advice on how to integrate 2 systems. So it's mostly a powerful search engine with pretty good answers by default. I also use it to generate an image here and there, such as for a corporate blog I manage each week.

    I remember leading up to the 2024 election there was some momentum behind a potential Carlson candidacy if Trump was going to be in prison. I could see it. Also, that first sentence...imagine saying that out loud 15 years ago during the Carlson bow-tie and Trump apprentice years.

[image: 1769429526740-1655d638-aa34-41fa-82d4-0af9ebe482f4-image.png] I'm glad we got lucky with the April 1st date. As I noted earlier, there were a few options that had a daytime launch, and what a spectacular launch that was. I know there's recency bias, but to my eyes and many who've seen plenty of launches, it was one of the most beautiful launches (visually) they've ever seen.

    Saw it this afternoon. Delightful movie, and deserving of all the accolades it's gotten. I went to an IMAX theater - though it really didn't need IMAX. However, the seats were standard, small, uncomfortable seats from the 1960s. After 20 minutes of trailers and 2:20 of movie, my butt was sore. Still pretty, but sore.
