  1. I recommend a Six Nations match against England or Ireland.
  2. Do you qualify as an accredited investor?
  3. Narrator: It wasn’t, and they didn’t.
  4. He set the O/U at 2.5 and took the over. Can someone remind me again how many commits they got (and no, PWOs don’t count)?
  5. It was the poorly received sequel to Good Will Hunting.
  6. Planning to tell potential funders you can't make a plan for your business is . . . a strategy.
  7. You’re conflating things that defy our understanding of physics with things that APPEAR to do so. Just because a Texas road in summer looks like it’s shimmering with water doesn’t mean it actually is. Take your pick of optical illusions, any one of which tells us what people sincerely believe they see doesn’t necessarily mean shit.
  8. This will sound harsh, but I don't intend it to be mean-spirited. From what I can tell, the biggest problem is that you have an idea and that's it. No team, no plan, no nothing. You don't need a pitch deck. You need a plan. And if you're going to be successful, at a minimum you need to (1) have enough savvy to develop the plan yourself or (2) assemble a team that will help you successfully plan and implement it. Good ideas are a dime a dozen. I'll give you some: fully self-driving cars; a cure for cancer; interstellar space travel. All great ideas that are worthless without a path to make them reality.
  9. Market forces at work. People are idiots and don’t want news. They want pablum that reinforces what they already believe.
  10. Did he buy himself a chauffeur too? Because why the fuck would you drive yourself around in a Maybach?
  11. I think our knowledge of physics on the grand scheme of things is so elementary that we’re not even close to knowing what we don’t know. One way of looking at Newton’s explanation of gravity is to say he got it mostly right. Another is to say he wasn’t even close. To me, saying we’re close to theory of everything, if only we could reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, is like saying Ptolemy was close to a theory of everything, he just had to work out that pesky retrograde motion.
  12. I must have been taking another nap when they figured out the mathematics for that.
  13. Superseding indictment filed in the documents case. New defendant and details about the conspiracy to delete security camera footage. https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/us-v-trump-nauta-de-oliveira-7-27/895d71fac28b2930/full.pdf
  14. I’m in the nay camp too, but I must have been napping when we made an advance significant enough to qualify as a “growing understanding” of quantum gravity.
  15. Uh, you know that shit’s fake right?
  16. So should I go ahead and put on my tinfoil hat now?
  17. Joke’s on you guys. You can’t get it wet because it will rust, so you don’t actually NEED the windshield wiper.
  18. “WITH AUTHORIT—well, it went in at least.”
