I’m building these 3D Printed modular outdoor containers in an attic in Kentucky.
You can just build stuff.

I briefly thought about this idea the other day.
Then like many other “problems”, realized it’s a dumb idea for a business and moved on with my life.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
Why are we still dragging 100-pound trash bins through freezing rain, snow and 6 AM dark like it's the 19th century?
Meet Curbie, an autonomous robot built by Revere Robotics that is finally killing off this miserable weekly chore. It automatically hauls your waste bin to the curb on collection day and brings it right back, completely unsupervised.
The genius is that it works with what you already have. Instead of forcing you to buy expensive proprietary gear, it couples directly onto the existing steel axle of your current municipal bin.
Packed with high-torque brushless motors and heavy-duty winter autonomy, it is specifically engineered to muscle heavy loads through deep snowdrifts and icy public sidewalks.

Over the past 10 days, I became the digital Nick Shirley.
Using public & private records my AI agent swarm found ~$787 million in government billing that made absolutely no sense.

The machine comes first.
Invention comes second.
Americans have a unique drive to innovate and to invent.
But it’s a cultural skill that needs to be cultivated and not an inherent gift given from God uniquely to Americans.
It is foolish to think we can keep innovating without access to tools and machinery.
New ideas and technologies arise from people continuously fucking around with tools they have mastered.
We can’t keep innovating out of thin air, while others make and operate the manufacturing tools.
To fuck around and find out, you need something to fuck around with.

Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather did a great study on lifecycle CO2 emissions per kWh of energy production.
Big surprise to most people: nuclear has the lowest emissions per energy; 10x less than solar!
Might as well sue steel and plastic manufacturers, because it’s used in firearms manufacturing.
How dumb are these idiots.

If your company has something you can't effectively track today, check this out.
Today at @PascalTags , we launched the biggest challenge we've ever taken on.
We want to sign up 31 manufacturers in 31 days to be the next companies to deploy Barcode 2.0, the only RF tag made 100% in America.
If your company has something you can't effectively track today, we want to see if Pascal can solve it.
For companies that are a fit, we're offering a two-week pilot for a $100 commitment, something we typically sell for $50,000.
We're going to document the entire thing publicly.
Day 1 starts now.
Apply: 31in31.com
If someone comes to mind who needs this, tag them or send this to them.
31 companies. 31 days. Let's see if we can do it.
For next 50-100 years every aspect of American and world life will be directly affected by the inevitable economic and indirect kinetic conflict between US and China.
Every news headline you see is connected.
Venezuela and Iran? Cut off Chinese oil before negotiations.
US administration is willing to alienate its voting base, right before midterms, by high fuel prices and even worsening inflation.
That’s how seriously US views the need to slow China’s accelerated economic and military growth, by restricting energy supplies wherever possible.
Oil is still king.
Russia supplies China? Ukraine suddenly is allowed to target Russian Oil refineries….
Everything is about China now.

When we started HeXalayer in 2017, I had the naive assumption that we could integrate into an existing Battery Supply chain in US. What I found was barren wasteland in both directions.
Every battery startup had to vertically integrate from raw material to pack. Disastrous results

Correction: They will be using copium and hopesenium-dreaminium as fuel.
Pulsar’s Sunbird programme achieved first plasma in March 2026, demonstrating initial confinement and particle acceleration using krypton. Upcoming testing will add plasma diagnostics, superconducting magnets, RF and rotating magnetic-field heating, and thrust measurements. The programme aims to advance toward aneutronic fusion propulsion while studying neutron-induced damage to reactor walls and magnets with UKAEA.

Friends.
I need feedback on my website podd.us
I’m able to sell the product in person just fine, but online customers just won’t convert.
Is the product functionality not clear?
Is it the Ai generated images?
Do i need testimonials?
Do i need cheap tricks like “30% off, hurry!”
Does it need to be on Amazon?

The Graphene Battery Chronicles - Year 1: 2016
My journey into the battery tech business started somewhat unintentionally. I was barely out of college, with a Political Science (I know...) degree and had recently started work as an analyst for a multi-national energy company.
Gotta say, that job was kinda nuts. It was a consulting gig, with an office full of young people fresh out of school. I made several life long friends there. One of them used to live in an apartment complex across the street and we used to take some of the girls from the client team for a “pool lunch”. After a while, the girls just started wearing bikinis under business casual and we would disappear for hours at a time. We would book contracts from laptops and phones, so we still got the work done, but with a better view. The management was too lazy to come down to the floor and check if we were actually there. Somehow we never got into trouble. Suffice to say, life was pretty awesome.
One day I got a call from my Mom. She was working as a research scientist at my alma-mater. Even though I didn’t choose to pursue sciences as a career path, I always loved hearing about her research projects and would sometimes use my 3D modelling skills to make cool illustrations for her publications or grants.
This call was a bit different. She had gotten into a legal dispute with some of her colleagues over invention rights for a discovery she had made. Classic academia politics and drama.
Just like any other mad scientist, she would work on some wild ideas in her own personal time and one of them had resulted in an interesting discovery.
She called it “Incommensurate Multi-Layer Graphene”
They had tested this new Graphene in Li-ion Batteries, with some very promising results and it had started a quite the frenzy to claim invention and potential licensing rights.
The university legal team had determined that she was the sole inventor, That did not stop other professors from breaking into her computers and desks to obtain synthesis recipes and test data. Apparently they were trying to sell the IP to an outside company, behind the university’s back.
The harassment had gotten so bad, with no real action from the sleepy HR, that she decided to quit her job.
I still remember our conversation over dinner that night.
I believe my exact words were -
“Fuck them. We are going to sue and start a company.”
