Assalamu alaikum brother.
It should be further emphasized that the A and B theories of time are not mutually exclusive. Thus, we do not need to ascribe Ibn Taymiyyah's theological view to the A-theory of time or the B-theory of time. (1/10)

The A-theory of time suggests that time flows successively along a privileged "now" agreed upon by all observers. In contrast, the B-theory of time denies both the succession of time and the privileged "now". (2/10)
But there is a third elusive option implied by the special theory of relativity, namely that time flows successively in the true sense, but without there being any privileged "now" agreed upon by any two observers from each's first-person perspective. (3/10)
Prediction Markets Are Quietly Emerging in Kenya.

Save the thread below:
People make predictions every day, like in markets, elections, sports events, prices, and news, but there is no system to track or test those views, so when they are right or wrong, it goes unnoticed.
Now this is where prediction markets come in.
Now this is where prediction markets come in.
Now in Kenya, you can take advantage of this through a new approach called prediction markets.
A platform like @5050MarketsHQ has emerged to make it easier to take part in them.

I wondered what the future might hold for "Michel-types", as phrased by Grok.
The answer was pretty encouraging.

But then execution still matters, and I wonder whether stronger marketing, the ability to attract and target audiences, might still be a key consideration.
Maybe that podcast idea is a way to do this. Food for thought.
Time will tell, I'm sure.

14 THINGS MEN LEARN TOO LATE IN LIFE...
1. The less you talk, the more your words will matter.

2. Don't take it all personally. Not everyone thinks about you as much as you do.
3. When you focus on problems, you will have more problems.

An Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund controls the only US-headquartered chip company trusted to supply the Pentagon.
It does $6.75B in revenue. It holds a $3.1B defense contract. And 82% of its shares belong to Mubadala — the Emirati state investment arm.
This is GlobalFoundries. And its architecture is unlike anything else in semiconductors. 🧵

The world's chip conversation is dominated by one obsession: the bleeding edge.
3nm. 2nm. Angstrom-scale transistors.
But here is the quieter truth hiding beneath that narrative:
Most of the technology running the world doesn't need those nodes.
Your car's radar. Your fighter jet's avionics. Your industrial sensor. None require atomic-scale precision.
They require something rarer: reliability, security, and domestic manufacture.
GF is building an empire around that gap.

The origin story begins in 2009 — and it begins with a company in crisis.
AMD, the perpetual underdog to Intel, was hemorrhaging cash.
It could no longer afford to both design chips and build them.
The solution: surgically remove the manufacturing.
Enter ATIC — the Advanced Technology Investment Company of Abu Dhabi — which committed $4–6B to absorb AMD's fabs and birth GlobalFoundries as an independent entity.
AMD got a lifeline. Abu Dhabi got a semiconductor platform.

S3x mistakes most men make .
1. Eating a woman's p*$$y.
1. Eating a woman's p*$$y.
2. Skipping foreplay.
Rushing straight into action is one of the biggest mistakes.
Attraction and arousal don’t just switch on instantly.
Without proper build-up, everything else feels forced and rushed.
And she notices it immediately.

3. Trying to last long.
Most men are obsessed with duration.
But timing without awareness means nothing.
It’s not about going long…
It’s about knowing what you’re doing while you’re there.

This was a reader tip and it's interesting to reconcile across the board as Musk famously promoted GameStop during its peak hype.
Moreover if we consider what the point of purchasing Twitter was and turning it to X there may be a logical connection here.

The point of buying Twitter was in securing a platform for free speech in environment long stifled by MSM.
I decoded that as the motive years ago, but this is an example where it's also the well known motive Musk himself has proclaimed.

1/ Public health isn’t collapsing because the science failed.
It’s collapsing because we stopped trusting the system designed to interpret that science.

2/ We’ve shifted from expert guidance → individual decision-making.
That sounds empowering.
But it fundamentally changes how public health works.

I picked up a bunch of ESDI hard drives at the System Source Swap Meet. These were on the free pile! I figured at least one of them should work in my IBM PS/2 Model 70 386... well, perhaps. Let's find out! 🧵 time!
First, we have to start with the base case. Will the system start up with my 60MB ESDI drive in it? Yes. Good! Carry on!!
First drive in, but system is detecting a configuration change. That can't be good. Have a listen to the drive. Yeah, I think this one is a goner. I ran system configuration, and yea, not even detected. Oh well!
I spent some time swapping around components and upgrading one of my new LTE Elite 4/50CX systems! Let's talk about it! Time for a quick 🧵
So, first of all, this system has a 486DX2/50 processor. But some of you might recall that I bought a parts system at the System Source Warehouse sale. It's in terrible shape. But.. it has a 486DX4/75 processor! I swapped it in, and now we're cooking with gas!
The next thing I tried was swapping the screen from the doner parts machine to my other LTE 4/50CX since it has a line across the top of the screen . Unfortunately, the backlight is dead. Oh well, we tried!
