Here’s your first flamenco guitar lesson—pay attention! Start with basic posture: guitar on right thigh, left hand relaxed on neck. Right hand: thumb (p) rests on low E, fingers (i m a) curled. Palm-to-finger flicks = rasgueado. Flick index down across strings with loose wrist, then roll m-a-p in...

Yes, Ricky was surely the culprit. But only in pushing the button. HE DID NOT HAVE ANY PALM PISTOL IN HIS HAND ! > 1.

Most certainly, no weapon can be aimed at the target in this kind of open hand position, even if something could have been in it.

Anyone who knows anything about the basic laws of physics, would know that no weapon is ever fired without a recoil action. Even the knowledge of the laws of physics is not required for this understanding. Just the basic common sense should be sufficient. Any one of the points above mentioned makes this palm pistol option impossible. Let alone all of them at the same time. And this evidence is with regards to the hand only. If I were to make the whole list of evidence against the palm pistol, aside of the actual hand itself, it would probably be 30-40 items long. So, I will skip that pages long extended part. I hope that just the above stated is sufficient enough ? But the full length video, with all the frames, each frame by frame examination is coming right up.

Folks, here's another little design exercise that I spent the last few hours on 👍 This is based on a thesis I had for basically a decade now: Aiming in FPS games with the right analog stick is quite bad. Your thumb has maybe 1cm of travel on a tiny stick, fighting a spring, trying to make precise micro-adjustments AND fast 180-degree turns with the same input. If we're being honest, that's a terrible interface for the task. Your wrist, on the other hand, has roughly 180 degrees of rotational range, uses your entire forearm's muscle groups, and can make both ultra-precise micro-corrections and fast sweeping motions naturally. It's why mouse aiming destroys stick aiming: You're using your wrist and arm, not your thumb. So the thesis is simple: what if we just used wrist rotation directly as the aiming input? No VR headset, no special hardware. Just hold an old Switch1 Joy-Con in your right hand and rotate your wrist. Small rotations for precision tracking, larger rotations for fast turns. Recoil kicks the camera up and you instinctively tilt your hand back to compensate, etc. To me, it just feels right. I built a little prototype to test this. It has 4 weapons with some recoil, cover you can lean around, jump/crouch, lock-on targeting, ammo management, blablabla. The whole point is to see if this input method feels as good in practice as it does in theory. The aiming algorithm handles all the shitty stuff: Dead zones against shaky hands, auto-clutching when you unwind your wrist, asymmetric sensitivity because human wrists rotate further inward than outward, response curves for precision at low speed without sacrificing fast flicks, etc. I made a quick video to show the prototype in action. And if you wanna try it yourself, I put a small zip file up here that contains the executable:

🚨 SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT - ARIANA GRANDE DOES SOMETHING STRANGE AND DIDN’T THINK YOU’D CATCH IT WATCH THIS CLOSELY. This happens mid conversation on an older First We Feast - Hot Ones episode. Ariana reaches for a heavy chicken wing with two fingertips - and it suddenly goes airborne. Her fingers never generate force. No flick. No lift. No completed motion. Yet the wing jumps anyway. Then she immediately says: “Sorry. I couldn’t do that again if I tried.” That’s the problem. Because her hand didn’t do it the first time. It happens so fast your brain doesn’t even register it. The moment was supposed to pass unnoticed. And it did. Until now. So what is this - a glitch in the matrix… or something we weren't supposed to see?

IF YOU SPIN A FEW MIN A DAY YOU REVERSE AGING, RAPIDLY, 1 OF 9999999999 BENEFITS OR CURES HOW TO SPIN: Move from left to right, spinning around and focusing your vision on your left thumb. Then spin from right to left, focus your vision on your right thumb. When you complete spinning, however many times you spin, bring your palms together at chest level. Press them together, keeping your eyes open, and balance yourself with your feet a shoulder's width apart so that you feel anchored and still feel the spinning at the same time. This tremendously accelerates the spinning of the chakra systems inside your body. Many suggest to spin only clockwise but from my experience both directions are necessary! I spin in both directions. I find that I can really stimulate the vestibular system by spinning one way and then suddenly switching to another direction. Its different for everyone but the main goal is to make the fluid in the vestibular system to move in as many different directions as possible. The fluid in the vestibular system has both physical and spiritual qualities. It can be influenced by physical movements and it also can be influence through non physical stimuli like thoughts, emotion, aura fields etc. Eventually you will be able to move the fluid by will. The fluid is what creates the vortex you see. The key to spirituality is the fluid. If you can manage to keep the fluid stimulated and in activity you will be truly spiritual. As a child you had a heightened spirituality! Dont worry, nothing has been lost it’s still all inside you!

If you’re an investing beginner, you MUST watch this video. If you’re an advanced investor, watch it as a reminder. Peter Lynch is the most successful Fund Manager of all time. He uses these 45 minutes to cover 95% of all of investing! My Key Takeaways: 1. Personal Edge - Look for the fields in which you have a knowledge benefit. Working in an industry, being a customer, all of that is an advantage. 2. The Key Organ for Investing: The Stomach - Investing is not about brains. It’s about having the stomach. “The real key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.” - Peter Lynch 3. Categories - Categories and labels are guidelines, not hard rules. Successful investing is about flexibility. 4. P/E Rule of Thumb - Stocks follow Earnings Fairly Priced: P/E equals annual growth rate over the next 3-5 years. Expensive: P/E extensively higher than annual growth rate over the next 3-5 years. Cheap: P/E extensively lower than annual growth rate over the next 3-5 years. 5. Balance Sheet Rules of Thumb - Is the BS healthy? a) Cash should be higher than Short-Term Debt b) If Cash - Short-term Debt - Long-Term Debt is only 1/4 of Net worth, the BS is decent c) Total Debt should equal 20% of capitalization or less 6. Focus on Stories - Stock prices move with the stories told about the companies. Have a long-term story for every company you own and check if it plays out. 7. Profit from Chaos - A market decline of at least 10% occurs every two years. Pick up your high-conviction bets at a discount when this happens. 8. Forget about Macroeconomics - Focus on business growth, not GDP growth. “If you spend 13 minutes a year on economics, you’ve wasted 10 minutes.” - Peter Lynch

Trans. Poon: Oh, Ohm's birthday is putting pressure on me! Ohm: Are you going to open it now? Poon: I think it's better if I open it privately. MC: Ohm, do you want him to open it now? Fans: We want to see it too! Poon: Okay, then I'll open it now. MC: Open it! MC: Ohm, do you want him to open it? Let's ask Ohm first. Do you want everyone to see it? Ohm: Up to you. Whatever Poon wants. Poon: Let's open it now, so we don't disturb the schedule. Ohm: Beautiful. OP: Beautiful? Who are you talking to, Ohm? (Poon takes the gift out of the bag) Poon: Is there anyone else? Does anyone else give gifts like this? MC: What if you open the box and it's a receipt? Poon: I'm going to hit you! (Walks towards the MC as if to hit him) Ohm: Take it easy. Poon: Ohm, can you hold the microphone for me? (Ohm reaches for the bag) Poon: I'll hold the bag myself. (In an endearing tone) MC: We'll hand over this stage to this pair then. Poon: Oh, it's inside the bag. Fans: Is it a ring? (Poon shows the ring) MC: First year together and you give a ring right away! Poon: Put it on for me. (Hands the ring to Ohm) Right hand, right hand. MC: Which finger should it go on? Ohm: I went to secretly measure the size. Poon: Why did you go to the temple? Why weren't you home? (Note: Wat in Thai can mean 'to measure' or 'temple'). I shouldn't have made that joke! Did you really secretly measure it? Ohm: I secretly measured it. MC: Film it! Film it! Ohm: Which finger are we putting it on? Poon: Put it on the right hand. Once the series ends, I'll put it on the left hand. Ohm: It fits perfectly. Fans: Show off! Poon: I have something to show off! I'm going to show off! Why? Do you have one? Poon: Thank you. Ohm: I heard you complain that your ring was scratched, so I bought you this. The ring is the piece of accessories you wear most often, so I want to be on Poon's finger. Poon: You noticed that I like wearing rings? Ohm: Yes, yes. Fan: When's the wedding? When's the wedding?

#DireStraits 🎼Telegraph Road (Alchemy Live)🎵 A long time ago came a man on a track Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load Where he thought it was the best He made a home in the wilderness He built a cabin and a winter store And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore And the other travelers came walking down the track And they never went further, no They never went back Then came the churches, then came the schools Then came the lawyers, and then came the rules Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads And the dirty old track was the telegraph road Then came the mines, then came the ore Then there was the hard times, then there was a war Telegraph sang a song about the world outside Telegraph road got so deep and so wide Like a rolling river And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze People driving home from the factories There's six lanes of traffic Three lanes moving slow I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down I've got a right to go to work But there's no work here to be found Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed We're gonna have to reap From some seed that's been sowed And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles They can always fly away from this rain and this cold You can hear them singing out their telegraph code All the way down the telegraph road You know, I'd sooner forget But I remember those nights When life was just a bet on a race Between the lights You had your head on my shoulder You had your hand in my hair Now you act a little colder Like you don't seem to care But believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names 'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane I've seen desperation explode into flames And I don't want to see it again From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed" All the way Down the telegraph road

This guy took a brand‑new app to #1 overall in the App Store and 1,000,000 downloads in under 3 days. For the FIRST TIME, he breaks down exactly how he did it, and we’re posting the full, RAW conversation right here on X To be clear, this is his first and only podcast on this playbook... And a little more context: this wasn’t luck. Jibran has taken 4 different apps to #1 in the App Store, including one that did $1.5M in 3 days and outranked ChatGPT He did it with a handful of creators, zero paid ads, and a product philosophy that blew my mind Here’s the core of what he taught me: > Your product and your marketing are not two separate things; they're the same thing. > What goes viral on TikTok is product validation. > What you learn from a hit video should change your UI, your App Store screenshots, your icon He ran that loop obsessively.. For his 2025 Wrapped app, he spent hundreds of hours in Figma asking one question: > “How does this look on TikTok?” Then he tracked: 1. What users screenshotted 2. What they shared to Snapchat 3. What slide they dropped off on The result was a #1 overall app in the App Store. Above EVERYTHING. Now he’s building because he realized he was spending hours every day doom‑scrolling TikTok looking for hooks and formats that worked So he built an AI to do it for him: > You tell it your app. > It tells you what to post, what’s trending in your niche, and what’s wrong with your existing videos. We go deep on all of it in this conversation. If you run a consumer app, this is the most useful 49 minutes you’ll spend this week

How I’d get good FAST as a baseball player: First get in the gym and commit. 6 days a week: upper / lower / arms, repeat. 1 full rest day. Do this for 6 straight months minimum. Build strength, durability, and discipline. Second the baseball work has to be intentional. Hit 5–6x/week with a plan. Not just swinging… purposeful reps. Work with a coach who gives you structure, routine, and adjustments. Then put in the REAL work on your own. Extra swings. Extra reps. Extra time. This part matters: You are NOT going to develop at practice alone. High school, travel, even college practice isn’t enough. The jump happens in the hours nobody sees. Third fuel your body like an athlete. Eat enough protein to recover and build strength. Hydrate consistently. Add electrolytes. Recovery = performance. If your body breaks down, so does your progress. Fourth train your mind daily. Read 1 chapter a day: •Heads Up Baseball 2.0 •The Alchemist •The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success •The Four Agreements •It’s All in Your Head You need mental toughness to handle failure, pressure, and long stretches with no visible results. That’s part of it. Now tie it all together: Training + reps + nutrition + mindset. Do ALL of it consistently. Then do it for 3–5 years. No shortcuts. No skipping steps. Keep your head down. Stay obsessed with getting better—not being seen. The results will come if the work is real. If you want a clear plan + mentorship on exactly how to do this, reach out. Hitters University

Eruption - Van Halen - Violin Cover by Nina D My journey to learn Eruption began a few years ago, when I only had access to a 5-string fretless violin. I learned a small bit of it, and quickly realized that I would need to compromise the octave range, and the finger tapping in order to perform it. There are a few covers out there of violinists doing just that, and they are very impressive. Anyone who knows me, knows that I did not want to do that. I wanted to sound like Eddie. Thus began my journey with the 7-string fretted violin. Pretty much the entire reason for having this instrument custom-made (thanks Wood Violins crew!) was to see if I could play Eruption. At the time of purchase, I wasn’t even sure if it would be physically possible to do the finger tapping, even with the new instrument. Upon its arrival, my first task was to learn how to play the darn thing- it’s like a completely different instrument, the neck is huge, I am tiny, and the low strings are super thick. (I also had to buy a special bow to properly play it). If your bow arm falters by a millimeter, you will hit the surrounding strings. Once I had this part somewhat down, I knew I had to dive into the hardest part right away- to answer the question, “but will it tap?” I began with transcribing this beast of a solo into notation. If you play guitar, and you want to learn how to play pretty much anything, you can go to YouTube and find slow note for note tutorials on EXACTLY how to do so. This doesn’t exist for trying to translate guitar things to a violin. You’re on your own. I tried it out with my normal rig. Pretty much dead sound. Nothing happening but noise. I had a few ideas for specialty pedals. Since you can’t really go to the store and try pedals any more, I bought one, it didn’t work, shipped it back, bought a different one, didn’t work, shipped it back, etc. ad nauseam. Months went by. It seemed for every step forward I took in achieving this technique, I took two steps back with new problems. For months, my poor family listened to what sounded like a train wreck falling on top of a car wreck falling off the Empire State Building. Brody even said to me, “it ain’t gonna happen.” So I locked myself away until it did. I struggled and fought the limitations of the instrument. I had some hard practice days, but the best motivation for me is “it can’t be done.” It took a combination of newly learned left and right hand technique, played precisely, practiced slowly for clarity, FOREVER to even make the right sound. The spaces that you need to hit, quickly, on a fretted violin are much smaller than that of a guitar. I tweaked the effect chain and technique right up until the 11th hour on the very final day of doing this. One day near the end of it, I was practicing in the studio and Brody was taking a shower. When he got out, he said to me he thought I was playing the recording of Van Halen. That was my breakthrough day. I knew I was close. I haven’t worked this hard since my masters recital on classical violin. I’ve ripped up my fingers to shreds, they bled, they blistered. Eddie Van Halen was in a class all of his own. His sound, technique, rhythm, and musicality changed the game for all guitarists (and this electric violinist) that followed. I am a far better performer, a far better violinist, with a much larger range of abilities, thanks to the months (or years) I put into dissecting his style and taking the time to do this on a violin as close to how he did it (so effortlessly) on a guitar as possible. Thank you, EVH, for making so many of us better musicians. ❤️🤍🖤 Audio Mixing/programming, Drone footage and video editing, Fog jets and laser programming: Brody Dolyniuk Filming: Patrick Rivera Photography Lighting: Robert Brassard Custom Made Eddie Van Halen Outfit: 3x Emmy-nominated costume designer Diana Eden HMU: the MOBB Group Graphics: Derryl Rice #eruption #vanhalen #eddievanhalen #evh #cover #coversong #guitarsolo #violin

When he got out, he said to me he thought I was playing the recording of Van Halen. That was my breakthrough day. I knew I was close. I haven’t worked this hard since my masters recital on classical violin. I’ve ripped up my fingers to shreds, they bled, they blistered. Eddie Van Halen was in a class all of his own. His sound, technique, rhythm, and musicality changed the game for all guitarists (and this electric violinist) that followed. I am a far better performer, a far better violinist, with a much larger range of abilities, thanks to the months (or years) I put into dissecting his style and taking the time to do this on a violin as close to how he did it (so effortlessly) on a guitar as possible. Thank you, EVH, for making so many of us better musicians. ❤️🤍🖤 Audio Mixing/programming, Drone footage and video editing, Fog jets and laser programming: Brody Dolyniuk Filming: Patrick Rivera Photography Lighting: Robert Brassard Custom Made Eddie Van Halen Outfit: 3x Emmy-nominated costume designer Diana Eden HMU: the MOBB Group Graphics: Derryl Rice #eruption #vanhalen #eddievanhalen #evh #cover #coversong #guitarsolo #violin

PRONATOR TERES IN THE THROWING ARM The Pronator has 2 insertions on the inside of the elbow 1) To the Medial Epicondyle through the Common Flexor Tendon 2) To the medial portion of the Ulna (Deep) In 83% of arms, the Median Nerve Runs right between those two heads Due to throwers commonly having hypertrophied and toned up Pronators, this can become an issue with compression of the Median Nerve which runs down the forearm and into the thumb, index, and middle fingers When tight, it can limit Supination and Elbow extension With Pronation and Supination, it is important to test both Range of Motion and Strength in both the Elbow flexed and extended positions as this will affect the muscle lengths of each Trigger points here typically refer deep into the wrist and Anterior Forearm In chronically “tight” Pronators, check the opposing muscle groups (Supinator and Biceps) as you may find they are significantly restricted and essentially forcing the Pronator to “Drive with the E Brake on” with every contraction OR You may see excessive weakness that allows the Pronator to Bully it into living in the Pronated, shortened position This is a non exhaustive list of some quick nuggets in regards to the Pronator Teres as there are a ton of global and external issues that can play a huge factor here

An entire empire was overthrown over a two percent tax on a breakfast beverage. Look at what you tolerate now. You are taxed when you earn it. Taxed when you spend it. Taxed when you save it. Taxed when you invest it. And when you die, they tax whatever is left. That is not a system. That is a harvest. You commute in a car you paid sales tax to buy. You drive it on roads you were already taxed to build. You fill it with gas taxed by the gallon. When you sell that car, the next buyer pays sales tax on it again. The same car. Taxed every time it changes hands. You arrive at a job where your salary is cut before it ever touches your hands. If you work for yourself, you pay both sides. Two people on paper. Neither one keeps what they earned. Then you go home. Every bill you open has a government standing behind it with its hand out. You buy a house with money they already took their share of. Then they charge you property tax on it every year for the rest of your life. You want to renovate your own kitchen. You need a permit. You want to build a deck on your own land. You need a permit. You pay for the property. Then you pay for permission to use it. Stop paying property tax and they seize your home. Not because you missed a mortgage payment. Because you missed a payment to the government for the privilege of keeping what is already yours. You do not own your home. You rent it from the state. If you leave something behind for your children, they are taxed on what you were already taxed to earn. The same wealth. Taxed at every stage of your life. Then taxed one final time because you had the audacity to die. They found a way to monetize your absence. We are told this is the price of civilization. It is not. It is architecture. The most effective prison ever built is the one where the inmates believe they are free. They did not take your freedom. They priced you out of it. If you kept the full value of your labor, you would be free within years. Not decades. Years. The system cannot allow that. A machine built on consumption needs a consumer that never stops. You did not sign a social contract. You were assigned one. Now pay attention. They spent decades perfecting the extraction of your productivity. Now they are building the technology to replace you. AI is not coming for your job because corporations are greedy. It is coming because a system that already takes half your output just realized it can take all of it. Without needing you in the equation. You were never the point of this arrangement. You were the input. And the moment they engineer a cheaper one, you become a rounding error on a quarterly earnings call. They did not build AI to free you. They built it to finish what the tax code started. It was never about the tea. It was about the precedent. Today we hand over half our waking lives and thank them for the potholes. You do not live in a free economy. You live in a subscription you never signed up for. And the penalty for canceling is everything you have.
