I just got a sauna like that

We’d love to have you on sometime too. It is a sports pod, though, so hopefully you’ve got some ideas tailored to that.

We’ve Been Looking for the Wrong Solution to Terraforming Mars https://youtu.be/e8ZvebLedoc?si=K_Dcy-AGMz8JwtZa This is a very cool video about some novel approaches to using weird organisms to aid life on Mars. The focus is a fungus that was discovered in the wreckage of Chernobyl and seems to feed on radiation. https://stacker.news/items/1423178

Can we get you on the pod soon to talk about all this business model stuff? We’d love to pick your brain. https://fountain.fm/episode/cHjArXkty212FxapwXA8

Fearing US Reprisals, Mexico Halts Oil Shipment to Cuba | Libertarian Institute https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/fearing-us-reprisals-mexico-halts-oil-shipment-to-cuba/ By Will Porter > Mexico’s state oil company, Pemex, has backed out of a planned oil shipment to Cuba, the country’s president appeared to confirm. The move comes after President Donald Trump insisted that “zero” oil would be sent to the island, and follows reports that Washington plans regime change there by the end of the year. > Speaking during her daily press conference on Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum did not deny earlier reports about the canceled Pemex shipment, which was originally scheduled for sometime in January. > “It is a sovereign decision, and it is made at the time deemed necessary,” she said when asked about the reports, stressing that such shipments are determined by the state oil firm. https://stacker.news/items/1421808

We agree about most parts of this. The point I want people to appreciate is that it's not just about the ends. The means have to be part of the discussion. Even if people in MN broadly don't want criminal illegals there, it doesn't follow that they want them removed in this way and it should matter how the local community wants enforcement to be carried out. It's also just as important that the cops who we both think are criminals be held accountable as it is that the criminal immigrants be held accountable. We want a society where criminal behavior is not tolerated, regardless of who the criminals are.

That's not all that's happening here, though. The people of Minneapolis, as far as I can tell, overwhelmingly do not want ICE running around their community and doing this enforcement (which is not confined to just those committing crimes) in this way. The states are supposed to be separate republics, essentially their own countries with responsibility for their own law enforcement. Why should a New Yorker's preferences be imposed on Minnesotans? Also, to say that it's only those criminals acting badly overlooks so much. Unaccountable cops shooting and macing people in the streets, breaking into Americans' homes without warrants, and throwing grenades into cars with kids inside is also bad behavior. I don't think that should be very controversial, either.

It’s different because prices are relative. Either you can buy more of everything with the same amount of money or there’s something that can be traded for more money.

Prices are relative exchange ratios. If all prices decline, that necessarily means the money appreciated.

I think he was only talking about asset values, not the Earth potentially collapsing in on itself.
