re: This Girl Makes Me Want To Be Into Goth Girls

I'm betting that is AI. Her eyes are Disney princess level unnaturally big.

If you are a side sleeper, you want a pillow that provides more support and doesn't collapse down to nothing. If you are anything like me though, you also want a pillow that is super soft. Those two things are mutually exclusive. I searched and searched, but such a pillow does not exist.
What you need is two pillows stacked on top of each other. The bottom one is firmer and provides most of your support, and the top one is the softest pillow you can find (i.e. pure goose down with no feathers) and collapses down to almost nothing). The top pillow provides almost no support (the bottom pillow does that). This combination gives you a pillow that is the right height, but is still ridiculously soft and very comfortable.

I see there is a down vote to my post, but no explanation as to why the down vote. I definitely don’t know everything, so if there is something that is incorrect about my comment, I genuinely would like to know what it is. Give me your feedback please.
re: You can own SpaceX in a ETF. XOVR

Echostar is another good backdoor way to invest.
This is correct. Roughly 80% of the value of Echostar stock is due to Echostar’s holdings of SpaceX stock. So if you buy $10 of Echostar stock, it’s kind of like buying $8 of SpaceX stock. It’s probably the best way to get exposure to SpaceX stock before the IPO.
re: Space nerds, new SpaceX video is out

There are so many incorrect assumptions made in that article that I don’t know where to begin. I won’t try to address them all, but what he says about launch corridors having to go due east only, SpaceX buying 136,000 acres for just a manufacturing facility (a facility that they don’t even need considering they already have manufacturing facilities at Boca and the Cape), that Starship will land on drone ships, etc. are all very wrong. Also, SpaceX has launched many rockets out of the Cape that either went South-East, or virtually due south (on both StarLink launches and sun synchronous orbit trajectories).
If SpaceX really did buy 136,000 acres, this is not just a manufacturing facility. It is likely a launch and landing facility, and far less likely would be just a landing facility. In either case, it may or may not include a manufacturing faculty (I’m not speculating on that, but it would be awesome if the do also build a manufacturing facility). But if they bought 136,000 acres, there is zero chance it is only a manufacturing facility (they also don’t need another engine test facility since they already have McGregor, so it’s not just manufacturing and testing either IF they really did buy 136,000 acres).
You don’t need anywhere near 136,000 acres if it’s just a manufacturing facility. You would want that much land if it is a launch and/or landing facility, but not if it’s just a manufacturing facility.

For me, I clean them once per year.
I hope this restaurant does well, but I really don’t think it will unfortunately. There is something kind of adventurous and nostalgic about going to the original Middendorf’s at its original location. You won’t have any of that at the new location.
re: leftover boiled crawfish

I find that hard to believe. Must be a small fan group. If true, I would expect restaurants would offer cold boiled crawfish.
This is almost a good point, but not quite. One reason restaurants don’t serve cold crawfish is because customers wouldn’t know if they are fresh, which is no good.
I agree with the other posters that cold crawfish are as good as hot. Really though they are just different, and good in their own way. Maybe not 100% as good as hot, but like 98% as good as hot.
The fact that they are just different though is actually a plus. It means you’re not having the same meal two days in a row. So in the end, cold crawfish are damn good.
This makes the very faulty assumption that the company actually cares about having someone to blame. The company doesn’t care about having someone to blame, They only care about the results that come from the screwup. And in your scenario, the results that come from the screwup are the exactly the same regardless of whether you’re talking about AI or humans that make the screwup.
Can you please elaborate on what you did?
I have to ask - why would they pay you to leave? If you are providing any value to the company at all, why on earth would they pay you even $1 to leave? If you are valuable, they would pay you to stay, not to leave.

But Forge is a secondary market, correct? So how does this differ from what you said above?
Because the alternative is that China wins the AI race and we all speak Chinese. That’s if we’re incredibly lucky that is.
It’s more likely that if China wins the AI race, they just decide to dispose of all of the none Chinese people.
Those are the choices. It’s not Sam Altman or Elon Musk versus us. It’s us versus China. No matter how much you want to stop this in the United States, China, as well as many other countries, will keep going. It’s happening. The only question is whether the United States wins or another country like China wins.
So why again are you so hell bent on stopping the U.S. development of AI?

re: Rumor has it that Publix grocery is coming to the Harveston development
Posted by Gauge on 2/16/26 at 10:23 am to King of New Orleans
Any truth to this?
Any updates on this? There is obviously some fairly heavy construction activity going on out there now. I'm far from an expert, but it looks like they may be putting in sewer pipes/systems and other infrastructure.
New construction activity at commercial part of Harveston?
Posted by Gauge on 9/16/25 at 6:05 am
As of the last few days, there appears to be some potential construction activity at the proposed commercial area of the Harveston development on Bluebonnet. Anyone know what's going on? Are they finally starting the actual construction, or is this just something else?

As I understand it, neither OpenAI nor xAI are publicly traded companies. How can I invest in them?
