That was a superhuman feat, holding the deer with one hand and using the other to free it, well done, you are blessed.
Jack (from India) has questions. 😝

hey @grok, why does Donald Trump have no marks after being shot in the ear?

In America, a hardware store called Harbor Freight.
I walked in to buy one roll of black electrical tape. Seventy-nine cents.
At the register, a bearded clerk named Frank scanned my tape, reached beneath the counter, and placed a massive red five-gallon plastic bucket between us.
"Free bucket weekend," he said.
I looked at the price tag on the bucket. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents.
I looked at my tape. Seventy-nine cents.
I stood before the register while basic arithmetic died in my hands.
"The vessel costs six times the tribute," I informed him. "If you do this for every customer, your house will fall before winter."
"Been doing it for years, chief. Take the bucket."
In my land, when a lord grants you a vessel larger than your purchase, you are expected to fill it in his service.
I held the wire handle with both hands and asked Frank what a man does with such a bucket.
He looked at me the way a monk looks at an uninitiated boy.
"Everything," Frank said, "except carry water."
I thought he was speaking in riddles. He was speaking the literal law of the land.
I have now inspected four garages on my street, and I must report that the entire residential infrastructure of the United States rests upon five-gallon plastic buckets.
Nobody puts water in them.
The first bucket holds rusty bolts from machines that died during the Bush administration.
The second bucket is inverted so a man can sit on it while staring at a lawnmower he has no intention of fixing today.
The third bucket is an emergency step-stool so a father can stand fourteen inches closer to a smoke detector that will not stop chirping.
I carried my red bucket home and set it beside my garage door.
On Saturday morning, my seventy-four-year-old neighbor Walt walked past my driveway with his coffee.
He stopped. He looked at the red bucket. Then he looked at me.
Without a word, Walt walked back to his own garage, returned sixty seconds later, and dropped a brand-new yellow sponge and a brass hose nozzle into my bucket.
"Saw you finally got your bucket," Walt said, tapping the plastic rim twice. "Welcome to the street, kid."
I spent seventy-nine cents on tape.
They gave me a throne, a toolbox, and citizenship on my block.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Terry's first time using his Neuralink implant to communicate through his thoughts is absolutely incredible
Terry was diagnosed with ALS in 2024, a disease that has progressively affected his ability to speak
Now, Neuralink is translating his intended speech directly from brain signals into words, with Grok Voice recreating his own natural voice
Watching Terry's emotional reaction as he hears his words come through is such a powerful moment
This is so much bigger than technology
It's about giving people who have lost their ability to speak the opportunity to communicate, express themselves, and reconnect with the people they love
What Neuralink is building is truly life-changing

He’s never created anything.
Other than wealth for himself.
Bernie is taker.
He’s a life time leach sucking the blood of the taxpayers.
A parasite to America.

One of the most dangerously humane things I have ever seen. What a genuinely kind man.

I don’t know how to thank the two of you enough for saving these wild stags from a terrible fate.
