But here\u2019s the best reason the $430,000 doesn\u2019t make sense<\/a>. Walz served in Congress from 2007 to 2019. He was on countless committees and commissions. He held congressional hearings. Walz could walk through the nation\u2019s Capitol building blindfolded. He not only knows all the nooks and crannies, he knowns all the tricks, the deflections, the stunts, the BS, you name it. And we\u2019re supposed to believe that Walz needed highly specialized and outrageously expensive coaching for two months so he could handle those evil attack dogs, of whom he once was one. JB Pritzker of Illinois was also summoned to appear the same day as Walz. Pritzker isn\u2019t much of a governor, either, but it should be noted that he personally paid for his legal prep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a Singapore-controlling-Michigan’s-Upper-Peninsula accelerationist<\/a>. Not only should they own the land, but they should institute SIngaporean law there and build a hyperfuturist Great Lakes megalopolis-thalassocracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting ready\u2026just one week until @EAA Oshkosh–one of the largest airshows in the world??. I asked Grok4 to analyze MiG-29 from brake release at SLF to a Falcon 9 from ignition. The Falcon 9 overtakes<\/a> the MiG at ~T+77 seconds at ~50,000 feet. Does Grok math checkout @DJSnM?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurers call this type of screw-up “mortality slippage<\/a>.” <\/em> Mortality slippage means accidentally classifying someone as lower-risk than they actually are. It’s ridiculously expensive. A single mistaken classification can cost insurers millions in unexpected payouts over the life of a policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirk also has a gigantic database<\/a> of each guest \u2014 about 115,000 people \u2014 and knows how many times they\u2019ve dined at Lazy Bear since it first opened as a supper club in 2009. She then dives into social media and finds extra information that is publicly available to get a sense of who the guests are before they come in. Finally, she puts all the data she\u2019s gathered into a color-coded Google document that every member of the team, front and back of house, studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car Magazine’s 2003 take on the Toyota Prius is epic to this day ??. “the Prius is such an insipid<\/a> driving device that all the emission-trimming cleverness gets effectively forgotten. Zero dynamic reward, identical fuel economy to the rather fun WW Golf TDI 130. Why?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in: Stanford shows that virtual reality lectures<\/a> outperform in-person lectures from PHD professors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To aid the Port Washington and Beaver Dam projects, Gov. Tony Evers last week signed a bipartisan bill that creates exceptions<\/a> for tax increment districts in the two communities. It\u2019s unclear what if any type of tax incentives could be part of the proposed data center in the town of Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember when Democrats would look at those who did build things <\/a>and assert that they didn’t build that? Now, that was ideology! Remember “You didn’t build that”? Who said that? Was it Elizabeth Warren or… oh! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s that unelected people exploited it to run the country<\/a> in secret in Biden’s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New documents show an officer known only as Howard managed<\/a> a Cuban group that interacted with Oswald in the months before the JFK assassination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In selling law enforcement agencies bulk access to such sensitive information, these airlines<\/a>\u2014through their data broker\u2014are putting their own profits over travelers’ privacy. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently detailed its own<\/a> purchase of personal data from ARC. In the current climate, this can have a detrimental impact on people\u2019s lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the takeaway for any brand. Clarity<\/a> isn\u2019t something you\u2019ll find on an explore page – it\u2019s an ongoing discipline. It\u2019s a refusal to do everything just because you can. It\u2019s knowing which moments are yours to own – and which to let pass. It\u2019s constantly asking: is this what we\u2019re here to do? If the answer is no, then just don\u2019t. And if there isn\u2019t a bit of tension in your choices, you probably aren\u2019t saying no enough. Clarity is the best constraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, doing less is faster and easier<\/a>! Depending on the task, you may be able to soften the requirements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
