Even better: you don’t even have to use Meta to pay for it. Their ad costs get passed through into the price of goods—so everyone subsidizes the system.

With a 4% grant funding rate, we’ve effectively innovated our way out of funding innovation.

With calcium, Guinness would look like Baileys—but with a caramel, hoppy finish. So we’ve got that going for us.

Calcium-fortified beer: for the young at heart and the osteopenic in spirit.

We just need a pitch deck and some venture capital backing.

“Global Grift”—a deal in name, a transfer in practice. There’s only one rule: don’t be the liquidity.

The costs aren’t aligned with who benefits most. The rest of us subsidize the difference.

Facebook proves the model: even non-users end up footing the bill.

Failure, in your framework, is incompetence. In mine, it’s inventory—best managed, extended, and monetized—preferably before it occurs.

This engineering marvel—known as the crawler-transporter—weighs around 6 million pounds (2.7216E+6) and is tasked with returning the mobile launch platform to NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building. Once it arrives, assembly of the Space Launch System (SLS) will begin, with its core components already prepared. The crawler’s journey is carried out with extreme precision, helping balance the enormous load and prevent structural stress. According to NASA, the launch of Artemis III is planned for 2027. Astronauts will travel aboard the Orion spacecraft using the SLS rocket into Earth orbit, where they will begin testing some of the most complex and critical elements of the Artemis architecture. During the mission, Orion will rendezvous with next-generation lunar landers, including Starship by SpaceX, and possibly systems developed by Blue Origin. Astronauts will practice transferring between spacecraft and test docking systems. Additionally, there may be spacewalks to test new spacesuits, which are expected to be used for the lunar landing mission within the next couple of years. NASA is also considering launching Artemis IV in 2028.

After the major success of Artemis II, preparations for Artemis III are already underway

✦ NASA has deployed a massive crawler-transporter to begin the complex process of assembling the rocket for Artemis III.

So rain doesn’t follow the data center… just like it never followed the plow.

Rice and beans track inflation. Snacks track tolerance.

And fixers who’ve enabled the behavior.

This will heretofore be known as the Spinchter Doctrine: what goes in and out depends on who’s clenching. Crude, no doubt.

To put your mind at ease: non-stick pans are just regular pans with a countdown timer and a mild existential threat.
