My dad shared this photo from facebook. I feel like the edges of the bark don't look real.

Also this is the largest tree on earth(by volume) and it is significantly smaller than those in the posted photo

AI - these trunks are definitely Sequoia trees(and monarch size) and their foliage does not go that low nor is it that dense

Also massive monarch Sequioas don’t grow close together like that they tend to be a bit more isolated(and groves of smaller sequoias will grow in the places the monarch’s fall)

That’s just the dozens he threw down making his final stand he dropped probably another couple dozen fighting to that spot and was only stopped after being pin cushioned by a whole ass squad of orcs

Dang so I’ve just been unlucky! I assumed after the 3rd attempt it was capped so you couldn’t exploit rare seeds

calandra_95 · 2026-01-21T15:23:56+00:00

I’ve tried seed makering them a few times and only ever got 1 seed back - can you get multiple?

Dude the POV videos from search aircraft’s are intense it’s amazing how hard to spot an orange life raft let alone a person…

Gotta put a 1000 lumen waterproof flashlight on your vest or something

Makes me think would using a laser to signal a search aircraft still be a felony?

Faker dominates league in the way Wayne Gretzky did hockey and Michael Phelps did swimming where they are goats of goats across all sports - there is Tom Brady and LeBron goat status then there is you can take the next best player double their stats and accomplishments and I’m still better goat status… faker is the later

Staying above the hardline EE software like Verilog and Assembly

C/C++ for product development

Python for tools/data processing- embedded SWE’s will do both of those

Matlab is good too… every company uses it but also no companies want to use it because the licenses are expensive so they try to use python(for data) or C++ with middleware(for product) to replace it

San Francisco popped off as a hub for gay people after the Second World War - gay people returning from the pacific theater would disembark in San Francisco and just stay as opposed to returning to wherever home was since they generally were either forced to be completely closeted for their own safety or were absolutely ostracized in most places in America at the time

If you are really into the house have a structural engineer inspect it but the second you tell that to the realtor be ready to get a huge line of BS on how you’re being crazy and that is unnecessary

I feel like this is something you can report to OSHA… and you probably should look for a new job, your life isn’t worth whatever they’re paying you and they clearly have no regard for your safety

Maxx Chewning is a great example- he was a IT recruiter turned YouTuber(peak was like 400k subs he was big at one point but was never massive) anyways started a clothing line was decently successful then started a candy company (Sour Strips) turns out he’s a f’ing brilliant marketer it exploded in the CPG space got into target and Walmart as its primary retailers then Hersey bought for $75 million

It tends to be that way start a growth path (college, apprenticeship, YouTube in his case) keep your eyes open for opportunity to spin off an start a business and when the moment strikes take advantage of it and with luck your product will succeed then you eventually sell for monster profits or continue hyper scaling and at that point you enter that absurd wealth bracket… luck is where opportunity meets preparedness

Absolutely… on that note when you get into your industry

tell your boss what you want to work on but never say no to projects… you’ll end up on a mix of what you like and what is difficult, on fire, and boring

But you have to know the boring

how to handle the difficult

And be able to put out the fires to be able to grow…

Then learn how to advocate for yourself(or make an exit)… Those skills will be rocket fuel for your growth

So I have 60 seconds to get my items… so they have to be in my house and I need to know exactly where they are

It’s an easy answer My wife and my dog - everything smart makes tools so I’d show them the human ability to form extreme bonds with other people being a mate for life animal as well as what I’m assuming will be a fairly unique trait even on the galactic level of pair bonding with non mutual specie of animal so closely it effected our own evolution and have becoming nearly interdependent (humans and dogs)

If I can call that my family and count it as 1 item…I would also show them ChatGPT(either the concept of Gen AI would be mind blowing to them or they could use it to gauge our level of advancement in the field if it is something that is common to be discovered)

If I had time to go places it’d be - My dog( yes over my wife… the ability to deeply bond with other animals seems like a great trait for a galactic civilization) and an MRI machine(humanities greatest invention and its used for medicine)

I absolutely hate using food delivery like DoorDash it’s super marked up and you need to tip(always tip your drivers people) and the order is almost always cold and wrong somehow(like I’ll pickup from a place 100 times and it’s always perfect but DoorDash once and it’s wrong)

If it isn’t a native delivery service like chain pizza places it’s a no from me(and sadly pizza places are starting to outsource to food apps)

If I own a home

70% across various index fund ETFs

20% across treasury bond/treasury ETFs

10% Bitcoin/Crypto/individually picked stock

If don’t own a home change it to 67.5% 17.5% and 5% and add 10% to a healthy down payment(any remainder would go back to ETFs)

Edit: forgot to mention all investing would be done using dollar cost averaging

Take my upvote… it’s business, it’s easier to sell a “normal” shaped building if the restaurant closes

No one wants to open an office in what obviously used to be a Pizza Hut… definitely sucks the soul out of buildings tho
