Im sure they’ll try to get you to order ammo as they explode.

“Saving gaza from obesity” was literally one of the pro-Israel talking points a few months ago from a UK lobbyist to justify Israel use of famine as a weapon.

Pricing seems to be 10x cheaper than lithium per kWh.

The battery has no rare earth metal in it, just common iron, which dramatically reduces cost. The 100hr storage is also 10-20x what lithium is designed for. Downsides appear to be slow charge/discharge and size of the batteries.

It is most likely a hybrid “iron air for long term storage, lithium for spikes and fluctuations” grid battery makes the most sense. These combo setups wouls likely have drastivally better long term storage and pricing then the current norm of “just Lithium.”

There is more info about them in this article about another company in the space called Form energy.

Hilton was also kidnapped and shipped off to several “scared straight” torture camps by her family as a teenager..

She had some horrible shit done to her, and apprently vowed to make her own money separate from her family. The vapid, “that’s hot” party girl persona was her succeeding.

Shes come out hard against what happened to her and tries to help current victims. She managed to get legislation passed to help them, but also takes a more direct approach.

I’ve never heard that pointer bullshit at all. Can you link it?

“Man” for “manual” is just an antiquated term kept around by Unix curmudgeons. “Help” is much better as it requires no explanation and conveniently is automatically abbreviated to its full name. It’s the common term used in most other systems that aren’t linux.

'Man" isn’t sexist, it just sucks.

Yes, we’ve had first master branch, but what about second master branch?

The supreme court cooked these books in 2000. Gore won then, but since he conceded and pushed for the wrong Florida recount, the 5-4 GOP supreme court ruled that Bush was the lawful president.

Now the supreme court is 6-3 GOP, with most of the same conservatives, and Harris conceded much larger margins than Gore, it literally wont change anything.

Stamers conditions are more complicated than that. Most are in the article i linked. Hes demanding a two state solution and a lot of concessions from Israel when they are likely to meet none of them.

The UK has basically committed to recognizing Palenstine as a state.

Your gmail notification point doesn’t track, but its the most minimal point so i’ll drop it.

I dont think Substack is specially just a Nazi platform. I think they are Capitalists that will use any kind of speech to make money. While bootstrapping, they found a niche in leftist independent journalism. Now, they view far right hate as profitable, both directly with Nazi commentors and being paid large sums to enshittify the platform from far right figures.

They dont care about racism or hate because they are rich and it makes them money. That does make them bad people, no matter how many leftists they also profit from.

I absolutely expect they will follow a Twitter style path from here on out, with or without Musk at the helm. Once you let the Nazi’s into the bar, they take over by driving everyone else out. Substack has said “come on in!” so they will. Some leftist will remain for a while, but eventually the Nazis will be all that’s left.

I expect you make some kind of living off Substack? Maybe look into Ghost as an option. They take way, way less money even when fully hosted.

Are you even reading the comment you’re replying to? It doesn’t seem like it.

Gmail doesnt “push notifications” for anything besides receiving email. Recieving a spam messsage, i.e an interaction with a federated service that anyone can run, is not at all the same as a company’s app, that they full control, pushing a notification, that they fully control, from content on their site, that they full control. Comparing that to Gmail, which is in this case would be a neutral party to the content of the push notification, is not the same.

I very clearly pointed out that i expect the notification came from a computer fucking up. You should re-read the comment to make sure you understand it. I also made it very clear that if you have nazi shit on your platform, your computers may fuck up and push that that Nazi shit out to people. The best way to combat that is not having Nazi shit.

Either way, it’s good to see you accepting that “Substack welcomes Nazis” is accurate now. Maybe it wasn’t in 2023, the last time they made headlines for paying Nazis to post on their platform, but it is now. I expect with the very recent 100 million cash influx from far right Trump supporters, that isn’t going to change.

Maybe stop carrying so much water for a site that is clearly absolutely cool with Nazis?

Its when the next UN general assembly meets:

The 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) opens on September 9, 2025. Two weeks later, High-Level General Debate kicks off Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

As the United Nations marks its 80th year, global leaders will convene in New York City to build consensus and confront complex global challenges. Eight decades after its establishment, the UN remains the only place on Earth where countries can gather to work through their differences and find common ground — shaping our shared future.

Spacing it to September is both a deadline and a stick for Israel. If acknowledged as a nation by enough countries, Palenstine gains rights it doesn’t currently have to redress/self governance/etc. Its largely symbolic, as enforcing them will be challenging, but it makes a lot of what Israel has done to Palenstinies harder.

Israel very, very much does not want this to happen. This is some countries like France saying “fuck it, we aren’t covering for you anymore now that the starving kids pictures are showing up” while countries like the UK are saying “fix the dying kids or else” and countries like Germany are saying “we committed genocide against you so we wont begrudge you your own because we consider letting you murder children some kind of weird german liberal guilt thing.”

Comparing a platform internal push alert system with a random spam email is asinine. This was the companies own system pushing nazi content they host to users, all with their own tools.

I have no idea what youre on about with the URL, but i absolutely accept that their notification system fucked up and mass spammed users with literal Nazi content they actively host on their platform. Machines break, computers are no exception.

The “actively hosting Nazi content” is the issue. Not hosting Nazis is actually a stunningly good way to prevent your internal tooling from spamming customers with Nazi shit. Its nearly flawless. The fact that Substack does not employ it is the issue.

Do check in and see if the two listed Nazi stacks get deleted. It would be a reasonable thing for Substack to do if they don’t want Nazis on their platform. If they don’t do it, I would expect that both of us will have our answer of what they want to host.

Your link is to your older comments, and claims they “kicked out the nazis” they had on their platform. So the nazis are all gone, huh?

Their systems just pushed a very racist notification from the nazis currently on their platform to users. The article also points out that one of the other nazis accounts is being pushed algorithmically to users via substacks “rising” tab, with the nazi account currently at number 46. That’s seperate from their “oops, all nazis” notifications issue. How is substack not a nazi platform when its still promoting and platforming nazis?

Also, they just took more funding from Marc Andeerssen in their most recent $100 million funding round 13 days ago, so your TL;DR is also all fucked up.

You say you spent 8 years sub six figures to retire at 31. Can you list your savings rate and what you live on now? Did you just directly build a large nest egg or did you get lucky with investments?

Id like to give your advice its due, but if you were able to randomly retire because you gambled and bought $1k of bitcoin in 2012 and held it till 2020, it may not be that correlated to most peoples lived experience.

*Should be running a cryptominer

Also noise pollution. Under 35 mph, most car noise is engine noise.

Thats how Casey Neistat got his youtube start back in 2012 or so.

The bike lane in NYC was blocked by some bullshit, so he peddled over into the road and a cop ticketed him for riding in the road. So he decided to just ride straight into any obstacle in the bike lane, including construction, delivery trucks, and cop cars. The video went viral, which back then meant something.

The kicker? The ticket was bullshit. He broke no laws by joining the lane. The cop just made shit up and fined him $50, which he unknowingly paid.

Buying things is literally the economy. People spending money into it improves the economy directly. The velocity of money is a key part of a working market, and the rich impart very little of their wealth into it.

The extra panel hidden by the red button is also a great magic school bus callback.

Not surprised Thiels/Musks paypal/venmo are onboard.

This is just an absurd attempt to derail arguments about fair taxation by waiving a red herring around about people being able to voluntarily increase their own taxes, as if asking for a fair system is the same as utterly destroying your own solvency.
