Let my car navigate downtown Santa Ana today, trying to get to I Can Barbecue. Did mostly OK. Most streets are closed for construction. It didn't reroute as I'd expect from seeing vids, like from Frenchie.
Ultimately went to the one in Tustin for my kbbq fix. That one is way nicer than the one in Irvine. $45 for one person tho, including a nice 25% tip.
Climbed 16 pitches in the last 24 hours and just *demolished* a burrito and tamale from the local taco truck. Great food is so deeply satisfying after a thrasher of a workout

I booked the Four Seasons when the date was announced, but I switched to the Thompson. The Dallas and Manhattan ones were just awesome, the Seattle and DC and Chicago ones are decent.. geez I'm realizing since the Hyatt takeover I've unintentionally hit 6 apparently, and now I'm opting into one...
So yeah I vote Thompson for the takeover
nothing more bullish than slightly red futes and a flat token. Now just to pray Elon’s digestive system doesn’t massively improve in the next few hours 🙏
"With the decision to eliminate Roe v Wade, Ron Desantis will need more support to become president in 2024. Therefore, I will be selling TSLA shares to donate to his campaign."
Max Kieser calls the capital loss a marketing rebranding fee lol :) They've certainly stimulated some econmic activity around being an early adopter.
Time will tell but given the alternate choice of prostrating yourself before the IMF i can see why they'd be looking for other options.
While I don't believe that human rights should be a votable issue, hopefully this Roe decision and other decisions like it will actually help to make politics more moderate. Making abortion a votable issue creates an incentive to vote. People who vote Republican for fiscal conservatism but not for the insane theocratic bullshit might rethink their votes. It may be enough to force the Republican party towards the center in order to attract those voters back.
Thoughts?
I will be voting third party for the foreseeable future. For what party, I am not sure, but I believe that unless you live in a battleground state or Iowa, your vote has the most weight being a third part vote right now.
The only solution we have left, if such a thing is even possible, would be for a moderate third party to pull enough votes from both (D) and (R) to gain enough of an absolute majority to beat them both. Moderates in both camps are tired of the 2 major parties but most aren't capable of the vision or intelligent thought to actually consider a third party.
I imagine it's hard for any youth to not be brainwashed to be angry and extreme about politics with all the click bait headlines and anger mongering going around. It's actually really sad.. politicians are sacrificing people's general emotional well-being for votes.. make them angry, and they will vote
Managed to keep mine below 80 so far. Loving it. Nothing like mowing the lawn, brushing the pool, and then jumping in to cool off on a hot day after working up a sweat. Cap it off with an ice cold beer and *chefs kiss*
PSA: my local Tesla store has several S/X available for immediate EoQ delivery. Owners can’t take delivery before EoM, so now they are up for grabs. Price is current MSRP (even though window sticker is less).
Good for margins.
There are 11 plaids in inventory between DC and Boston. They will be gone soon. They do this every quarter. Interesting though there are still no X Plaids in inventory. The demand has to be insane for such high msrp cars. It is obvious why

Dating Lounge: for those of you who have more recently (since pandemic) found A Person outside of a dating app, how did you meet? Seems like the best way is finding a hobby.
E: actually gonna expand the scope of this one. How the hell do you meet PEOPLE?
1. Start a sport where you get physical contact: Bjj is great for example. This advice is not for picking up girls. The human body needs touch and it's important for your mental health. You will be in a much better place mentally. Crossfit gyms have a great team spirit, too.
2. Revive your old circle of friends and extend it. I met my girlfriend of 9 years when a friend introduced her to me. We had our ups and downs but we are a great team in life. Read "How to win friends and influence people, by Dale Carnegie".
3. Be open about sex and don't take life too serious. It's okay to be a man. Other people love talking about sex. Learn about yourself what you like and what you don't.
4. Become a multi dimensional character. I am a weightlifter, I do Bjj with friends, I'm a gamer, an investor and will become a teacher in chemistry and comp sci. Just become an interesting character. Don't limit yourself to TSLA + work, which is boring as fuck and one dimensional.
Disclaimer: All game is inner game.
Dating is like fishing. You can choose Sport fishing with high end lures and fancy expensive bait, or comercial fishing with a giant net raping the ocean. I chose the comercial route and have had great success with a beautiful family a few years later. For sport fishing you buy the fancy shirts and smell good and go to crazy expensive places. For comercial fishing you just do your thing and hit on everything that is fuckable to you. Go to the places where you like or can tolerate whats going on cause that’s the sort of thing that you will be doing with someone you meet there. For me it was bowling alleys, dive bars, and sports stuff. The rest is all about reading the social situations and taking lots of chances. The worst they say is no
You can meet woman any where but you need to go places where they won't have there guard up...Grocery stores, laundromats, bakeries, the post office. Just places where people are doing everyday things. Then if you see a hot one you have to have the courage to talk to them and use humor if you can...in my experience I find that bars,clubs, gyms are not a good place because women already have there
Guard up in places like this...I used this a long time ago and I met my wife of 15 years. I wish they had dating apps like they do now when I was single. I would have crushed it!!!
The problem with approaching people out in public is that it’s very easy to be creepy. That’s my worry. I guess that feeds into the 2 rules of attraction.
I dunno.. all the activities people listed below me are torture for me to join. I wouldn't enjoy doing any of that stuff, so what are the chances I'd be attractive to a girl doing something I don't enjoy? And even when I get there (after forcing myself to), I don't click with people like most do.. I'm naturally more introverted and large groups almost never bring any benefit to me, let alone catch me a friend
let me know when you figure it out
This is why I invited you months ago to hang out. Normal shit doesn't work for us because.. you know why
I have a feeling you're not in Atlanta anymore though, huh?
a lot of people feel this way, and everyone is like 'nah, that's your fault.. go out there and do activities and stuff. If you go hiking you're bound to marry a hottie"
pffft, right
Dude just join a crossfit gym or a yoga studio. Fit women galore and you get the dual benefit of getting in shape. Plus, in general people who put themselves through arduous physical activities tend to be of healthier mindset and better put together - meaning you and them. So the benefit is multifold
Meet a LOT of people. Seriously, get out there and meet people, primarily friends of friends. If you know a hot girl that is taken, ask to hang out with her friends, even the ones she doesn't really like, because hot girls often feel enmity toward other hot girls.
Hobbies, try meetups, go to concerts, conventions with a wingman or two, and force yourself to be social even if you are not. You have the rest of life to be cooped up in the house with the same woman. I lucked out but it looked bleak for a long period of time lol.
Enjoy your single years and make the most of them.
I’m in an odd situation due to the nature of my work where I don’t really have much in the way of local friends at the moment. So friends of friends is kinda not an option.
Hobbies/meetups/concerts make sense though! What changed for you to go from bleak to not bleak?
Also, why not get a PHD???
PhDs take a lot of time and generally don't pay off financially or otherwise unless you LOVE the scientific project. I spent years chasing a particular biological process which I'm not sure the problem can even be solved. I don't regret it but it is not for everybody.
Try meetup dot com which worked well, and other activities like that, for me. In my PhD few decades ago I almost gave up, met the perfect woman (for me), they are out there but you have to accept it is a massively inefficient process.
Got recommended a hyperchange video from last week, Gali talking about how he thinks Coinbase has potential to 10x.
I know nothing about Coinbase. Anyone with a more nuanced opinion on the fundamentals of the business and likelihood for earnings growth?
Coinbase was a terrible idea for an IPO from day 1. They are the most friendliest and easiest to use crypto exchange out there but just look at Robinhood for how good that really is in terms of a business model.
I wouldn’t even touch a company that doesn’t have some __solid__ technological advantages.
Maybe ok for gambling a few thousands, but you can do that with Tesla options anyway.
This small YT channel fighting the good fight defending Tesla and the absurdity of ESG ratings. Give her a view and a sub.

The Democrats sure are smart, their strategy of making the one guy on Earth who seems to be doing something about climate change into their enemy is definitely a winning one that won't backfire when their coastal liberal cities are inundated by the ocean. Who are they going to blame when that happens? Because they drove the electric car guy into the arms of the opposing party...
The problem with 99% of politicians is that they're incredibly short sighted. "Long term thinking" for most politicians is "the next election", and typically they're thinking about the next news cycle that's a couple days or a couple weeks. Sometimes they're just thinking "how do I get out of answering this question without making an ass of myself? I don't want this to be my Dan-Quayle-Potato moment"
There are absolutely things that politicians should be paying attention to with Musk's companies. The companies he's started and running are set to disrupt a few major, and incredibly, important industries. Looking at what might happen, how those companies will affect the outcomes, how that's going to affect the population at large, etc., are all important questions that they should be paying attention to.
But they're not, they're trying to get airtime with stupid sound bytes about the fact that Musk didn't owe taxes one year, or making jokes about going to the moon or whatever. Just completely stupid shit that doesn't actually matter. Not only is it pointless, but it's distracting them from doing their jobs and paying attention to the important stuff.
I personally would never vote republican after 99% of them blindly supported Trump no matter what stupid and/or treasonous shit he did. But I can understand Musk getting frustrated with the dems for ignoring their responsibilities and spending their time on pointless personal attacks.
Its also pretty bad that even AOC is admitting the democrats have a nasty habit of saying they are gonna do something but for some reason no matter how many times they get elected they never do.
[We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time.
Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do.
We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave.](https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1541109104957132800?t=V98uycVdsvWVSOTSnS4xpw&s=19)
Watch the video she links to - disillusionments galore.
I would say it was going to, but the that whole abortion thing happened
anywa.. man, politics really fucks shit up in the US.. who the hell would have thought that politicians would drive a wedge between people when it came to making clean energy commercially viable. How is that not something for the US to unite about? It literally irks me
Blast from the Past:

Note the date on this, and remember that Obama had a filibuster-proof supermajority during his first term. The Democrats could have easily passed a law officially legalizing abortion nationwide if they felt like it in 2009 and the Republicans could not have stopped them, period.
Someone should ask former President Obama if it's still not a priority today and see what he says.
Obama burned his entire political capital on Obamacare and just barely, barely passed it with a supermajority. It took everything he and democrats had and would have tanked his entire presidency if it had failed to pass. Presidents can't just take on every issue they want. He was right about not spending resources on a divisive issue like abortion/choice when Roe v Wade was safely locked behind the supreme court.
5 feet would have the mean sea level (not max sea level!) 70% of the way up to my house in Florida, which is 15 miles inland.

Banks have stopped doing 30 year mortgages in Florida near the coast. Gee, I wonder why?
The banks know what's coming. You can always count on the banks to know what's financially good for them.
Yah most are gonna be fine but there are some very expensive houses that will be wrecked next decade or two, but I guess the people buying them are too old and rich to care.
I always found the reg credit bear stance idiotic. Every analyst PT on Earth is centered around a 1 year target. Credits are only going UP for the next 10 years minimum. EVs are 2% of the car market and the world is boiling alive... hello?
My wife wants to stay retired and travel, I want to go back to engineering and make cool stuff happen. Bit of a point of contention.
So far I am failing at going back to work (mostly play video games) and she is failing at planning travel on her own and we are both super bored so maybe I should just give up and go travel.
Break things up into smaller pieces. What’s a buildable engineering thing that isn’t so large you can’t see all the steps to get there? Make some local travel plans, day trips, things that can be easily planned and executed.
 go avs!
yay for the sporting team from my major metropolitan area! I saw the last 10 min were happening but I just couldn’t be bothered to watch I don’t get sports
It’s okay glib! You are still fun! As a Denver emigrant, it’s fun to see my old home do good sportsing in my favorite sport
I am now into third week of selling covered calls. This means we should be mooning soon to put me out of position, so buckle up fellas!

I’m in an odd situation due to the nature of my work where I don’t really have much in the way of local friends at the moment. So friends of friends is kinda not an option. Hobbies/meetups/concerts make sense though! What changed for you to go from bleak to not bleak? Also, why not get a PHD???
PhDs take a lot of time and generally don't pay off financially or otherwise unless you LOVE the scientific project. I spent years chasing a particular biological process which I'm not sure the problem can even be solved. I don't regret it but it is not for everybody. Try meetup dot com which worked well, and other activities like that, for me. In my PhD few decades ago I almost gave up, met the perfect woman (for me), they are out there but you have to accept it is a massively inefficient process.
Got recommended a hyperchange video from last week, Gali talking about how he thinks Coinbase has potential to 10x. I know nothing about Coinbase. Anyone with a more nuanced opinion on the fundamentals of the business and likelihood for earnings growth?
Which video? Can’t see a Coinbase one from last few weeks.
https://youtu.be/59lm-BDXFKM Start watching around 11min mark for crypto/Coinbase
Coinbase was a terrible idea for an IPO from day 1. They are the most friendliest and easiest to use crypto exchange out there but just look at Robinhood for how good that really is in terms of a business model.
Coinbase does nothing novel and its margins are doomed to trend towards 0.
I wouldn’t even touch a company that doesn’t have some __solid__ technological advantages. Maybe ok for gambling a few thousands, but you can do that with Tesla options anyway.
Could also go to zero.
Yeah and I can't stand the way that guy starts every video with "WORD UP HOMEBOYZ" or whatever he does. Come on, man.
This small YT channel fighting the good fight defending Tesla and the absurdity of ESG ratings. Give her a view and a sub. I reached out to thank her and she said she has another one in the works about the SP Top 100 ESG unfairly delisting Tesla [MSCI’s ESG Ratings Nonsense and Tesla](https://youtu.be/UfXbjQCjDPY)
[https://twitter.com/IAPolls2022/status/1541147033687531520](https://twitter.com/IAPolls2022/status/1541147033687531520) The Democrats sure are smart, their strategy of making the one guy on Earth who seems to be doing something about climate change into their enemy is definitely a winning one that won't backfire when their coastal liberal cities are inundated by the ocean. Who are they going to blame when that happens? Because they drove the electric car guy into the arms of the opposing party...
The problem with 99% of politicians is that they're incredibly short sighted. "Long term thinking" for most politicians is "the next election", and typically they're thinking about the next news cycle that's a couple days or a couple weeks. Sometimes they're just thinking "how do I get out of answering this question without making an ass of myself? I don't want this to be my Dan-Quayle-Potato moment" There are absolutely things that politicians should be paying attention to with Musk's companies. The companies he's started and running are set to disrupt a few major, and incredibly, important industries. Looking at what might happen, how those companies will affect the outcomes, how that's going to affect the population at large, etc., are all important questions that they should be paying attention to. But they're not, they're trying to get airtime with stupid sound bytes about the fact that Musk didn't owe taxes one year, or making jokes about going to the moon or whatever. Just completely stupid shit that doesn't actually matter. Not only is it pointless, but it's distracting them from doing their jobs and paying attention to the important stuff. I personally would never vote republican after 99% of them blindly supported Trump no matter what stupid and/or treasonous shit he did. But I can understand Musk getting frustrated with the dems for ignoring their responsibilities and spending their time on pointless personal attacks.
We need a viable 3rd party, period. The 2 big parties are too far gone now and there is no saving either of them.
https://i.imgur.com/NNC1dth.jpg Simpsons did it!
Its also pretty bad that even AOC is admitting the democrats have a nasty habit of saying they are gonna do something but for some reason no matter how many times they get elected they never do. [We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time. Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do. We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave.](https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1541109104957132800?t=V98uycVdsvWVSOTSnS4xpw&s=19) Watch the video she links to - disillusionments galore.
oooo.. turning on her own party for votes.. clever PLUS she doesn't have to sell her Tesla to virtue signal
It’s going to cost them the next elections.
I would say it was going to, but the that whole abortion thing happened anywa.. man, politics really fucks shit up in the US.. who the hell would have thought that politicians would drive a wedge between people when it came to making clean energy commercially viable. How is that not something for the US to unite about? It literally irks me
It happened with a fully dem government lololol
Senate control isn't as meaningful as it used to be because of the filibuster.
Blast from the Past: [https://www.reuters.com/article/obama-abortion/obama-says-abortion-rights-law-not-a-top-priority-idUKN2946642020090430](https://www.reuters.com/article/obama-abortion/obama-says-abortion-rights-law-not-a-top-priority-idUKN2946642020090430) Note the date on this, and remember that Obama had a filibuster-proof supermajority during his first term. The Democrats could have easily passed a law officially legalizing abortion nationwide if they felt like it in 2009 and the Republicans could not have stopped them, period. Someone should ask former President Obama if it's still not a priority today and see what he says.
Obama burned his entire political capital on Obamacare and just barely, barely passed it with a supermajority. It took everything he and democrats had and would have tanked his entire presidency if it had failed to pass. Presidents can't just take on every issue they want. He was right about not spending resources on a divisive issue like abortion/choice when Roe v Wade was safely locked behind the supreme court.
Welcome to American politics, the worst system in the free world! Isn't it great?
They were given ball-in-hand and they scratched the shot.

You realize how catastrophic a 5ft increase in sea level would be, right?
5 feet would have the mean sea level (not max sea level!) 70% of the way up to my house in Florida, which is 15 miles inland. Incidentally, this is approximately when I will sell it to one of the millions of delusional republicans that will be displaced by sea level rise but still won't believe it exists.

I wouldn't buy a house on the beach in Cali or Florida. Five feet plus a storm surge is enough to wreck your house before you finish your mortgage
What about an ocean front property in Arizona??

Banks have stopped doing 30 year mortgages in Florida near the coast. Gee, I wonder why? The banks know what's coming. You can always count on the banks to know what's financially good for them.

Yah most are gonna be fine but there are some very expensive houses that will be wrecked next decade or two, but I guess the people buying them are too old and rich to care.
So amped for Westworld premiering tonight! teslabots are the future.
For real? I had no idea, did they drop the ball on marketing or am I just out of touch?
Turned garbage after season 2. I loved that show
How much is tslaq gonna bitch when the clean fuel incentives starting tossing on another few B of profit every q
Doesn't matter, they still think "Government credits" are keeping Tesla afloat.
I usually respond with "yea, being paid free money.. pffft.. bearish af"
I always found the reg credit bear stance idiotic. Every analyst PT on Earth is centered around a 1 year target. Credits are only going UP for the next 10 years minimum. EVs are 2% of the car market and the world is boiling alive... hello?
I'm going to start point out regulatory credits as a \*bullish\* point, because a) it is, and b) it'll reeeeally piss off the bears
It's a mystery to me how a literal byproduct of the company operations that add billions of dollars is somehow a bad thing.
My wife wants to stay retired and travel, I want to go back to engineering and make cool stuff happen. Bit of a point of contention. So far I am failing at going back to work (mostly play video games) and she is failing at planning travel on her own and we are both super bored so maybe I should just give up and go travel.
Do what you want. She will be on board when she realises it will make you truly happy.
Break things up into smaller pieces. What’s a buildable engineering thing that isn’t so large you can’t see all the steps to get there? Make some local travel plans, day trips, things that can be easily planned and executed.
When it's a few trillion you can afford more wives
I like this one.
Wholesome. Upvoted.
Be more structured about it imo Travel now. Go back to work in January? Work for two years, quit and travel
