Hate to dox myself a bit but have worked on just about every fighter jet the US has. I have seen some impressive technology over my career but this is a whole other level. I have so many questions and need to know how this works. How much edge compute is needed to make this happen? My first thought is dual processor + 1TB ram. That way it can handle the fuckquintillion process per second. There was zero correction it nailed it 100%.

Give it a few years to debug and refine, and bingo
Chinese LOVOL GS8239: 🌾
• Engine: 500 HP Weichai Diesel
• Feed Rate: 23 kg/s (Class 8/9 Territory)
• Capacity: ~1,600 bu/hr (Wheat)
• Header: 9m (30 ft)
• System: Axial-Flow Rotary
• Est. Cost: ~$200K–$250K USD (FOB)
Imagine getting a brand new combine with 2 headers for under $500k.
Western Agriculture spent too much time trying to fleece the farmer instead of trying to innovate the farmer.
So I guess Elon could now cut Starlink to Ukraine for breech of contract following Zelensky’s admission they use it for military purposes
Seems like this is not quite correct, starlink can’t be used militarily but the The US military has a counterpart called star shield which has been significantly slowed down…. I think there was a bit of FAFO

NUMBERS DON'T LIE. 🇺🇸🇷🇺
Before European leaders and NATO allies criticize President Trump over Russian oil, let's look at the numbers.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, NATO allies and European countries have continued buying Russian energy.
🇹🇷 TURKEY (NATO)
• Approximately €103.6 BILLION in cumulative Russian fossil fuel purchases cited in mid-2025 analyses.
🇭🇺 HUNGARY (NATO + EU)
• Imported approximately 4.8 million tonnes of Russian oil in 2024.
• Imported approximately 8.6 billion cubic metres of Russian gas in 2024.
• Russian crude accounted for roughly 86–93% of its oil imports in recent years.
🇸🇰 SLOVAKIA (NATO + EU)
• Remained heavily dependent on Russian crude oil and pipeline gas.
🇫🇷 FRANCE
• Purchased approximately €157 MILLION in Russian LNG in August 2025 alone.
🇪🇺 THE EUROPEAN UNION
• More than €238 BILLION spent on Russian fossil fuels since February 2022, according to the figures cited from CREA's Russia Fossil Tracker.
🇷🇺 RUSSIA
• Approximately €1.16 TRILLION in fossil fuel export revenues worldwide since the invasion began, according to the same tracker estimate.
Now answer this:
If European countries and NATO allies have continued purchasing Russian energy worth BILLIONS, why should the United States be condemned simply for considering its own economic interests?
You don't have to agree with President Trump.
But apply the same standard to everyone.
Numbers matter. Consistency matters.
And hypocrisy deserves to be called out.
The third paragraph is particularly interesting around why privatisation was pushed in Australia & round the world
Can I just put this in perspective and why all the pushback from the oligarchs? If you don’t understand how the system worked before (and most don’t), you can’t appreciate the significance of the change.
Since WW2, the banks and lawyers of the oligarchs were hired as “intelligence agents” in the CIA. The oligarchs would target a country and the CIA would politically and economically conduct warfare against it and if necessary use paramilitary to control the government. This included assassinating the head of state.
Once they were targeted, all facets of economic warfare was used which 100% of the time used US citizens money. That came in the form of IMF, World Bank, USAID, NED, foundations, think tanks etc all funded by you. The oligarchs got mining right concessions for 100 yrs, you got the bill. They gained control of water rights, utilities, entire countries’ telecommunications, etc. This was called privatization. They tried to do it in Russia and Putin threw them out and they’re still trying to start WW3 over it.
So all the world’s wealth was vacuumed up by these oligarchs while we paid the bill to do it. We’ve literally been their tax slaves in a way most ppl can’t visualize while these bastards kidnapped, tortured and murdered anyone in the targeted country that refused to go along peacefully to their county’s wealth being stolen. This, by the way, is true in the US as well. Anyone pointing out any of this over the years was murdered by the CIA’s hired assassins including JFK.
What is being pointed out is that Trump is changing this entire system while also shutting down the covert funding networks, fueled by black market commodities, that paid the assassins. You have to understand where we were to fully appreciate where we’re going. It also explains the turbulence from the oligarchs that had their toys of destruction taken away.

Roman concrete could repair its own cracks.
Some Roman buildings have stood for 2,000 years, while modern concrete can start to crumble within decades. For a long time, scientists did not fully understand why.
The Romans made their concrete from lime, water and volcanic ash from the area around Pozzuoli, near Naples. The ash reacted with the lime and created a material that grew stronger over time instead of weaker.
In 2023, a team from MIT led by Admir Masic found another piece of the puzzle, small white lumps of lime scattered through the concrete.
Scientists had always thought these lumps were a sign of careless mixing. In fact, they were the repair kit. When a crack forms and rainwater gets in, the lime dissolves and refills the crack with new mineral, sealing it from the inside.
The secret was “hot mixing.” Instead of using slaked lime, the Romans added quicklime directly to the mix. It heated up as it reacted with water and left these lumps behind on purpose.
To test the idea, the team cracked samples of concrete made with the Roman method and let water run through them. Within two weeks, the cracks had sealed completely. In concrete made without the lime lumps, the water kept flowing.
Roman harbour concrete went even further. Pliny the Elder wrote that once it touched the waves, it became a single block of stone that grew stronger every day. In 2017, geologist Marie Jackson showed he was right, seawater slowly grows rare crystals inside the concrete that hold it together.

🚨 إيلون ماسك يحذر: الباقي 3 سنوات فقط قبل نهاية عصر "العمل مقابل راتب"! ⏳
كسر إيلون ماسك الصمت بتصريح مدوٍّ حول مستقبل سوق العمل والوظائف: الوقت المتبقي لكسب المال من خلال "الجهد البشري" لا يتجاوز 3 سنوات بحد أقصى!
بعد هذه الفترة، سُتؤتمت معظم الوظائف المأجورة، وسينتهي العقد الاجتماعي الذي استمر طوال الـ 200 عام الماضية: "أقرضنا وقتك لمدة 40 عاماً وسنعطيك راتباً"!
📌 أبرز ما جاء في التحذير والتحول التاريخي المرتقب:
انهيار قيمة "الوقت البشري": الراتب يُدفَع مقابل إعارة وقتك.. عندما تصبح الآلة أسرع، أرخص، وأجود في استغلال هذا الوقت، ستنهار قيمة العمل المأجور فجأة!
أكبر حركة نقل ثروة في التاريخ: الفجوة الحالية بين من استوعبوا التحول وبدأوا التحرك، وبين من ينتظرون إعلانه في النشرات الإخبارية، هي الفارق بين النجاة والضياع.
ما العمل خلال هذه السنوات الثلاث الحرجين؟
تحويل وقتك وجهدك فوراً إلى أصول لا يمكن للآلات سلبها منك، وأبرزها:
الأصول الرقمية النادرة (مثل Bitcoin).
الأصول العينية الحقيقية (الأراضي والطاقة).
البنية التحتية وأجهزة الحوسبة.
العلاقات الشبكية القوية (Human Network).
القدرة على إنتاج الغذاء والموارد الأساسية.
في الفترة بين 2035 و2036، لن تكون العبرة بـ "كم تقبض شهرياً؟" بل بـ "ما الذي تمتلكه فعلياً؟".. التحول من مفهوم "الموظف المأجور" إلى "مالك الأصول" لم يعد خياراً جانبياً، بل مسألة بقاء أسرع مما يتخيل الجميع!
It will be interesting to see the impact on diesel here as we go into harvest.
That’s a bombshell 👀
Trump just made a deal with Putin for Russia to supply us with diesel fuel. Not only is that massive for gas prices and the midterms, it’s a great sign for potential deal to end the war in Ukraine, and it confirms that Trump and Putin are on the same page.
This also leads into my overall thesis that control of Greenland/Canada is not just about National Security, but I think the plan is for normalized relations with Russia, and Arctic maritime routes could be the gateway between US and Russian trade, which will reshape the global economy.
Trump might have just made the massive move that will bring down the global price of oil, right before the midterms, and Putin helped him do it.
What a timeline we are on.

For every gigawatt-thermal of fusion reactor capacity burning deuterium-tritium, you can produce 2 tonnes of gold per year by recycling the 14 MeV neutrons through mercury.
The economics of a gold-breeding fusion reactor are about half revenue from gold, and half from electricity at current prices.
The natural evolution of technology is to move beyond "chemistry' and into "alchemy" - nuclear sciences that involve the transmutation of elements, at energy scales and densities a million times higher than usual material science, chemistry, and molecular interaction scales.
The first companies to approach this will be targeting things like medical isotopes and enriched nuclear fuel, but there's really no limit. If you think we can make energy too cheap to meter, then it becomes feasible to transmute elements at industrial quantities as raw material feedstock into the economy.
Your thesis really should be that reality is programmable down to the atomic level, and that is inevitable where our technology will take us.
The Iran war is about more than most people realise. Susan Kokinda has shared some great insight over the past 6 months
Iran's IRGC wrote a 26-page letter to American voters.
It names the CIA, Israel, the military-industrial complex…
But never once the British.
@SJKokinda on why that's a huge mistake, and what it exposes about Trump's real target 👇
The polls are all part of the corrupt system & 5th gen warfare by the corrupt system. I think everyone who only listens to MSM are going to be completely shocked when a red wave hits the mid terms……. When you know you know.
THE POLLS AREN'T JUST WRONG. THEY'RE BROKEN!
How bad has primary polling been in 2026? It's almost beyond belief!
The AVERAGE primary poll this year missed by about 10 points. Not the worst one. The average one. For comparison, a general election poll that's off by 3 or 4 is considered a bad night.
And the marquee races weren't misses. They were massacres:
WISCONSIN GOVERNOR: polls off by more than 25 points. The "frontrunner" lost.
MINNESOTA: the polls lowballed the winner by around 20.
TEXAS SENATE, Paxton vs Cornyn: the polls had Paxton up 6. He won by 27.6. A 21-point miss.
MICHIGAN SENATE: El-Sayed was polling double digits ahead. He squeaked in by less than a single point.
These aren't polls. They're guesses with a decimal point stapled on to look scientific.
So the next time they tell you a Democrat is "surging" or a Republican is "collapsing," remember what these same polls did all summer. They weren't off by a little. They were off by a mile.
The only poll that has ever counted is the one taken on Election Day.
Anyone think it’s any different in Australia?
“They’re ALL full of ABSOLUTE sh*t!”
Former Congressman George Santos just EXPOSED the uniparty within Congress.
Even Bill Maher was taken aback when he heard it.
This is a man who was actually there, so it’s worth listening to the entire two-minute exchange.
Santos explained how his entire worldview was turned upside down when he first arrived in Congress and then-Senator Ryan Zinke told him that “it’s all theater.”
He even got into specifics about how he says the votes themselves are “bullsh*t.”
SANTOS: “I witnessed it vote after vote…you got a pick side on an issue. Yes, no…so you pick a side, the less of the two evils.”
“If I tell you the amount of of times that the votes were just bullsh*t. Messaging bills.”
MAHER: “That’s what John Fetterman says.”
SANTOS: “It’s all F*CKING Kabuki theater!”
“At the end of the day it ends in pizza. You know what that means?”
MAHER: “You order pizza?”
SANTOS: “Pretty much. And NOBODY cares! Because they will end whatever their mishegas is on the floor, go and do their backroom deals and Jeffries and Johnson, or Jeffries and McCarthy…Pelosi and whoever…they get together, they smoke cigars, drink scotch or whatever the f*ck it is that they enjoy…”
“And then they RAM it down the conference and the caucus’s throats as ‘this is what we’re doing!’”
“And like, we’re SHEEP!”
That’s one of the most stunning indictments ever uttered about Congress from someone who’s seen how the sausage is made.
Wow.

In case you were wondering what Trump got out of his summit this week with Xi Jinping, check this out: China just froze all of Iran's money there.
This is the same China that was buying 90% of Iran's oil exports before Trump's blockade.
It's a new world, folks.
伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬:我们在中国的钱全被冻结了。
把自家地底下的石油一船一船运过去,
结果结账的钱全被死死扣在对方银行里,一分都提不出来。
更戏剧的是,把这件憋屈事捅给全世界的,
并不是什么西方情报机构,是伊朗总统本人。
在联合国大会期间,
伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬接受了福克斯新闻主播布雷特·拜尔的专访。
当时拜尔正在追问伊朗给中东各路武装组织发军饷的事,
佩泽希齐扬急着自证清白,直接在全美直播的镜头前倒起了苦水:
我们在中国的钱全被冻结了。
我们甚至没法从一个我们供货的国家把钱拿出来,
更别说拿这笔钱去付给世界上其他角落的人了。
这话一出来,场面可以说尴尬到了极点。
过去几年里,很多宣传都在讲伊朗跟中国本币结算、绕开美元制裁、建立了牢不可破的金融同盟。
怎么真到了算账的时候,
堂堂一国总统,竟然要跑到美国保守派电视台上,
找美国人抱怨自己的战略伙伴扣着钱不给?
这笔钱到底卡在哪了?
很多人第一反应是,是不是中方故意耍赖?
事情远比表面上的恩怨要冷酷得多。
这里面运转着一套环环相扣的单向清算死结。
先看这笔石油是怎么卖出去的。
在严厉的国际制裁下,伊朗每天生产的大部分原油进不了正规国际市场。
超过 90% 的原油,最后都流向了中国山东的那些独立地炼厂,也就是俗称的“茶壶炼厂”。
为了躲避追踪,运油船队得在马六甲海峡关闭应答器,把货在公海上倒腾好几次,
而且每桶油还得打上 5 到 10 美元的骨折折扣。
实打实的工业血液运到了,
那买家给的钱去哪了呢?
钱确实付了,但付的是人民币,
而且直接打进了中国境内的指定账户里,比如专门处理对伊贸易的昆仑银行。
到这一步,账面上看起来皆大欢喜:
你卖了油,我付了钱,大家还绕开了美元。
可当伊朗想把这笔钱调出来用的时候,
真正的麻烦才刚刚开始。
伊朗能把这批人民币换成美元或欧元汇走吗?
做梦。
中国的大型商业银行在全世界有上万亿美元的资产和业务,
谁敢为了伊朗的一笔汇款,去冒被美国财政部外国资产控制办公室次级制裁的风险?
就连当年专门为了这门生意设立的昆仑银行,
在 2012 年被美国财政部重罚切断美元通道之后,
也早就收紧了风控,坚决不碰任何可能踩红线的跨境结算。
那换不成美元,伊朗把人民币直接汇给德国买工业设备、或者汇给巴西买粮食总行了吧?
还是不行。
因为伊朗身上还套着第二道死锁:国际反洗钱金融行动特别工作组(FATF)的黑名单。
伊朗国内因为坚持要给真主党输血,
死活不肯通过联合国的反恐融资公约,
结果和朝鲜一起,常年挂在金融行动特别工作组的最高风险黑名单上。
中国的所有正规银行都要遵守国际反洗钱规则,
面对黑名单上的国家,合规部门有一套法定的严格审查程序。
一笔巨额资金想从中国账户直接汇往第三方国家?
银行的合规系统当场就会自动触发拦截。
这下事情就变得极度荒诞了。
伊朗累积在中国的几百亿美元石油收入,
既不能自由换汇,也不能跨境汇出,
在物理上彻底变成了一张只能在特定商场消费的内部代金券。
你要么把这笔钱继续趴在账上贬值,
要么只能拿着这些钱,去买中国生产的汽车、家电、工程机械,
或者高价请中国的工程队去德黑兰修路。
如果伊朗急需硬通货现金去救急,还有没有别的办法?
只能走香港和迪拜的地下钱庄。
让掮客们在暗网和影子账户里层层倒手,
每一道过桥,都要被抽走 15% 到 20% 的手续费。
一桶原油辛辛苦苦挖出来,
运费加了一层,卖价打了折,
货款变成提不出来的代金券,
最后真想换成活钱,还得被地下洗钱网络再切走两成肉。
当年德黑兰兴高采烈地宣布去美元化,
以为跳出美元体系,就能奔向自由的金融天地。
结果他们一头扎进去才发现,
世界上的规则从来没有变过。
离开了一套有法治、能自由兑换的开放货币体系,
他们换来的根本不是独立自主。
那是一座把实物财富抽走、只留下一串无法提现的数字的单向黑洞。
