I used to design GPUs. Now I mostly sail. He/him. 🏳️🌈
I had this funny epiphany where I suddenly realized that while some other people might be wary of my wife, I was the only person who was really terrified of displeasing her. She knows all the tricks: sarcasm, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes, and satire.
If SpaceX can crash a booster into the moon at 8700kph, SpaceX can crash billionaires into the moon at 8700kph. C'mon engineers, it would be cool!
If we set wealth tax rate at 99% for anyone with over $100B, they'd still be billionaires after writing the check. That's outrageous.
Like everyone else, I'm reading the Wilson translation of the Odyssey now. Two things. 1) those Greeks were seriously badass people doing scary dangerous stuff all the time. 2) they cry like babies at the slightest provocation. Like if Chuck Norris burst into tears when someone said "Texas".
Circe turns Odysseus' guys into pigs with cheesy barley wine soup. Why yes, I would like seconds, thanks for asking.
Inshallah, I will be added to the block list of people who say inshallah.

Mitch McConnell has been voted "Senator most likely to be undead". Incidentally, there is a sale on wooden stakes at the Liwes down the street.
Where were you when the waveform of Schroedinger's Mitch collapsed?
As I sit outside in the shade , I am reminded of the earth's apex predator.

Sorry, the idea that an organization called american reformer has Cotton Mather fellows just blew my mind. 🤯 Still so naive.

Marriage trick: When walking, I like to run up stairs and hills. My wife likes to trudge. The rule is, I have to come back down, tag her, and repeat until she makes it to the top. The slower she goes, the more exercise I get. Sometimes she stops to look at a flower. 🧵
The manosphere is men making other men insecure, in service of power and money. It self perpetuates so that victims become perpetrators. The cycle must be broken. Bring your boys up to be secure in themselves.
NGL, disappointed in the Thunder God tonight. One single bolt in the right place is all we asked for. Atmospheric conditions were conducive. The target was tempting the gods. Everything was perfect, and Mr Boom Boom goes and Booms Booms somewhere else. What a let down.
I want to see E. Jean Carroll driving around in a Lamborghini with a Phillipe Patek watch, Prada Clothes, Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses and Hermes scarf and a Birkin.

Wow, everyone is posting solid off-white images today. As usual, I missed the beginning of the joke, so now I don't get it, and apparently that's hilarious to everyone else.
Everything is all soccer all the time, and I remembered this thing that I saw in Brazil. Yes, I did put more effort than usual into my aim, so yes, it did fulfill its social engineering goal.
I have created 22 seconds of perpetual motion with lego technics and stuff I printed. After 22 seconds, the entropy of the system increased.
Scientists ask the age old question: "what are men for?". Scientists are baffled.
The New Yorker@newyorker.com · last mo.If a chance mutation in a species granted a random female the ability to reproduce all on her own, the population would double its rate of reproduction. Given the math, sex must confer some important advantage. But what is it? newyorkermag.visitlink.me/wEcrhT
We don't ask for money unless we specifically want some.
My whole career was based on trying to make ideas fail, not trying to make them work. The survivors were indestructible. Nurture people. Filter ideas.
