I love this idea & am planning one: A night where all of your friends make a presentation on what they do at work and answer questions. I don't know much about what many of my friends do for a living.

I drove over a bridge near Oxford and paid a man the 5p (6.4¢) toll. Min wage in the UK is £11.44; to break even they’d need 458 cars/hour to cross (2 tollmen). The bridge is a tax haven- privately owned, George III decree’d it tax free indefinitely in 1769.

Sleeper trains are so superior In India you go to sleep in one city and awake in another city rested. This one goes Delhi-Patna, ~650 miles, 8 hours overnight. You could board from SF at 10pm, wake up in Portland at 6am and be in Seattle at 8am.

Best costume I saw at Burning Man was this dinosaur named Doloresaurus operated pretty easily by 1 dude who built it himself (apparently he’s often wearing it at Dolores park but I’d never seen it there)

I was taught to do this as a kid in India, still feels super wrong to me but sometimes I have to do it to make the outlet work: sticking something in the 3rd grounding pin of an electrical outlet to make it work with a 2 pin plug. Do other people do this?

Went to a great show in the back room of a cafe (Barzakh) deep in Brooklyn. I like this kind of thing much more than stadium shows. If you know of something like this I should go to lmk please.

just remembered that Lutnick claimed on the All In podcast that he sold 1,000 gold cards on the first day and that Trump thought the program would raise $5T. The Polymarket spiked but then it resolved to 0 sold in 2025. Now he says they've sold 1 card and raised $1M

FAA banned parallel landings permanently, will be bad for SFO (max landings drop from 54>36/hr) Given the topography of SFO, we have 2 parallel runways 750’ apart. There was an accident at DCA last year, now the FAA is mandating staggered approaches :(

My parents are at the Maha Kumbh Mela, the largest human gathering ever—~450M people over 6 weeks! It happens every 144 yrs, based on planetary alignment. Hindus believe a dip in the sacred river purifies the soul. They say it's incredibly well-run; quite the spectacle.

BYD's vertical integration is insane, much moreso than Tesla's They make their own batteries, chips, motors, and even mine their own lithium. A couple of years ago they felt there weren't enough transport options for their cars, so they built their own fleet of car carrier ships, and- per this video, the cars drive off of the ships autonomously. They now operate the largest car carriers in the world. Each carries up to 9,200 cars and is powered by LNG. The fleet can export ~1M cars/year and cuts per-vehicle shipping costs 30-40%. Wild!

Fun TikTok dating fad in Spain: Singles go to grocery store chain Mercadona bw 7-8pm and use their cart to hint what they're looking for. Mercadona has had to hire police and even pulled pineapples from the shelves (but people just used canned fruit instead)

Wild: When the BYD Zhengzhou factory is fully complete it will be larger than San Francisco (but smaller than the Denver airport!) ~10x larger than the Gigafactory Nevada. Not apples to apples because it's effectively a city - employees live there in dorms.

an 8-year old girl in Ohio drove herself 25 minutes to Target, spent $400 and was drinking a Frappuccino when she got caught. She's probably grounded for a while but as soon as she's free, I'm investing in whatever she does next
