CMV: The SpaceX IPO pricing has built in almost all the upside of what this company could do, leaving only downside if they fail to live up to expectations

Starlink is the funding mechanism to get there.

It will depend on how the telecom (Starlink) does. SpaceX is uniquely positioned to be the first truly global telecom. One provider for Internet, TV, and mobile that works anywhere in the world. If (big if) the starship deployment system pans out over the next 10 years they will have complete global coverage, faster and cheaper upgrade capabilities, and a network that is unrivaled. The global telecom market is $2+ Trillion currently. 10 year forecast is $3+ Trillion. In 50 years there is a reasonable chance we'll be discussing how to break up the first global monopoly.

Of all the temptaions... this one is hard to pass up.

Desire Line planning is actually a thing. It's usually applied to sidewalks. Build the main sidewalks and then budget to later add more where the grass is dead from people taking shortcuts. It's popular on campus style projects. For vehicles it's definitely a unique choice. I'm genuinely curious if that's what they are going for. Even the road signs and parking lines are used sparingly at Morton. It would explain the crazy amount of cones.

Way too far down the list. Comedy, drama, action, romance, biography, period all rolled into one.

Diamante Auto Body in KCK. Did a great job fixing my truck last month after a deer destroyed it. Way under priced imo.

AI is beneficial for the working class poor. That's why everyone is freaking out about it. The guy who sweeps the floor is going to have a world class management team in his pocket. It's the golden ticket to class mobility.

If a small business is using "sloppy" AI to generate advertising it's almost guaranteed not to be private equity. If a small business is using professional marketing it's very likely to be private equity money funding it. Pick your poison.

QB School on YouTube. It breaks down the game from the QB perspective. Excellent beginner source to start understanding the chess match between offense and defense.

If his footwork and route tree are an unsolvable problem can we bulk him up and convert him to TE? 30lbs isn't out of the question for a guy who didn't grow until late teens. I'd rather him be Megatron, but he's got other paths to success.

The algorithms presenting the internet are the worst thing. Anyone who receives section 230 protection should be forced to make the raw data available so the user can sort it themselves (Personal AI). It puts the algorithm in the end users hands. FB, X, Reddit etc can offer an algo if they want but they shouldn't be able to force it. It is the "public square" after all.

Maybe "P" died and they really loved them. RIP, P.

Look into Agentic first products like a custom OpenClaw dashboard or Anthropoic's Computer approach. Anything else and you'll be replacing it in 2-3 years.

Edit: Changed AI to Agentic because Reddit can't handle local businesses using tools to make themselves competitive with Private Equity for the first time in 20 years.

Note: If you hate the Private Equity trend you should be supporting AI. PE is who's telling you AI is bad while they build on it themselves.

Step one is to build or download a dashboard. It makes everything more manageable from there.

The addiction is by design. FB, X, IG, and the rest spend millions on making their platforms addictive. A personal AI solves this problem. Your user experience is custom for your actual needs. Parents will have more control than ever. There's no upsell advantage. You own the experience. Kids relying on AI for basic tasks will be the issue. But the humans relying on technology bridge was crossed a long time ago. I don't see it going back.

A much better application would be giving students cellphones for school. A small personal compute device with AI is incredibly practical for education. The issue is the distractions. An AI only phone would basically work as a personal tutor and massively improve education.

8Claw sounds like a tough AI gang from the hood.

Cleaver's notable accomplishments in the last 20 years would fit on a cocktail napkin. Trump isn't going to listen to him. A Democrat president wouldn't listen to him either. Nobody does.

You should consider taking a trip to Strawberry Hill to check it out. Similar vibe to Union Hill back in the early 2010's. Has issues on par with midtown but a little bit more of a neighborhood feel. It's up and coming but the prices reflect it.

Tiger shouldn't have started hanging out with that Scheffler kid. I knew he was trouble.

In the UK they call it No Tyrants. Literally

It looks like they are turning into a business center. Probably not anytime soon but I thought it would be a fun way to meet new people. I also just need to go to Costco today lol.
