hard to compete when stars do it for free
The stable isotope of gold is produced by the collision of two neutron stars, which is unlikely to happen in our stellar vicinity any time soon.
There is no way this is a coincidence.

What is the play here? Using money invested in xAI and its inflated valuation to bail out the X investors?
To me it appears to be a way to pay his lenders without liquidating or collateralizing more Tesla stock.
I love this comment but I don't understand the "linked list" reference. What aspect of physics/the universe is that referring to? Also why does the maximum speed enable sharding? Struggling with that part too haha.
It's so space can expand without increasing the Planck length

Very legal, very cool.
Lots of birds dance, don't they?
What about Peacocks?

Yes but no.
Right after the 9/11 attacks, one of the TV channels here started sending Fox News during the night (previously they had no 24/7 programming).
This was the first chance I got to really watch US news for more than a few minutes at a time, and the experience was quite eye-opening.
From what I can gather, it's way worse these days.
Still, no, I just won't understand why anyone "in the land of the free" would vote for someone so blatantly against freedom.
They have no choice to believe that he is the one that promotes freedom, and his adversaries the opposite. Not believing that would mean their outrage is not righteous, which would make future supply worthless, and their brains will just not allow that.
The US internet buddies I've talked to who voted republican did it more because they did not under any circumstance want to vote for the democratic party.
Based on how intensely they despised the thought of voting dem, I got the feeling the republican candidate could literally have been Satan and they'd still vote rep.
I too gave up trying to understand.
It's easy to understand, though? Daily outrage and vilification porn. Highly addictive stuff, and people will equivocate and believe the most preposterous things you've ever heard in order to keep the outrage righteous and their pornographer of choice credible.
Years ago, I was in a classified meeting in a SCIF when someone's cell phone went off. The person was immediately escorted out of the room--probably their clearance was revoked, and they were told not to come back. Having a cell phone in a SCIF is bad enough, having it go off inside the SCIF is even worse--and answering it during a classified meeting (or just answering it inside a SCIF) is cause for trouble big.
