Pistol Shrimp: The Fastest Gun in the Sea.

Being called a shrimp doesn't exactly make you known for having sizable strength or an intimidating presence. But there's one little weird wonder of the sea — the pistol shrimp — that crushes the stereotype in a dramatic way. It's so powerful it not only shoots and annihilates its prey; it has thrown the U.S. Navy off track, landed a superhero role on Netflix and even helped researchers make strides in fighting climate change. Pistol shrimp, also known as snapping shrimp, earn their sea cred by creating something that's seemingly childlike and innocuous: bubbles. But these definitely aren't your ordinary bubbles — they make a sound louder than a gun and generate massive amounts of heat.

Pistol shrimp "shoot" these deadly bubbles to kill prey, jackhammer into rock to create burrows or protect said burrows from other, jealous shrimp. They have no need for a fancy holster or to stock up on ammo — their gun is built right into their one, oversized snapper claw that can grow to be half the size of their tiny body.

These sharp-shooting crustaceans are far from quiet — their bubbles have measured in at 218 decibels, which is louder than a speeding bullet. To us humans the sound isn't actually that loud, but that's due to the blast only lasting a tiny fraction of a second.

When the bubble pops, it generates heat that reaches 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit (4,427 degrees Celsius), four times hotter than lava. The heat dissipates at rapid speed so there are no lasting effects (except to the unfortunate small creature that felt its burn).

Alright! Never heard of it(this is the first time), I had to go through the source although the link seems broken still got it… checked more sources and a YouTube video regarding it as well.. at the end I get to know about mantis shrimp as well, looks like they have same characteristics but mantis shrimps is more stronger.

Not a very exciting day for Bitcoin.  The only news I have really come across worth repeating is that Trump has officially filed for a Bitcoin ETF. Nice to know big things are still in the works. It seems like we’re going to hit a bit of a lull for a few weeks here while we wait for some developments on the tax code that are expected to be made before August.

After the kidnapping of a ledger founder a couple months ago (and his losing a finger) in France, a couple weeks ago the father of a crypto entrepreneur was kidnapped and then freed by police, and soon after the daughter of another one fought of criminals trying to kidnap her.

Scary times.

So far it seems that it has been "brains" hiring small time criminals, who are in way over their head, but if they hire professional people, it could turn ugly. For all we know it already happened and was kept secret by the victim...

Scary times indeed.

I don’t know what comes of this but it does seem a little bit like Elon is playing with fire here. I took it as an opportunity to take profits on my Tesla stock. >40% after a couple months was enough to make me happy. Next Elon scandal I’ll buy back in again but I’m really eyeballing SpaceX stock…

Hopefully Trump ignores this and they both move on.

musk:

has (or will have) dirt on everyone as basically everyones data that was ever entered anywhere into a government computer is being AI mined for dirt and other interesting oddities from when musks minions installing custom hardware/software in government system all over the joint.

has almost as much money as God

can shut down prolly 50% of USA gov and civilian internet from his control of starlink

does cool drugs

trump:

can point at anyone and cause them to disappear

can create retroactive laws

has absolute immunity

[philipma1957]

Will be an interesting year.

Frankly I am stunned musk decided to tell the truth. About the bill.

Go back in time to Tricky Dick Nixon the last time the rich paid 50% tax.

It's about 55 years of tax discounts for the rich and the county is pushing 36 trillion debt soon to be 40trillion

Then the trumpeter defaults I figure 2027 or maybe early 2028.

M. Saylor produces another vehicle-STRD in addition to STRK and STRF.
This guy explains:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm5IpFFJfIc

Looks tempting as a yield "machine" to collect a nice yield on current cash. The guy posits that SRTD "Ipo" would cover the coupon on STRF/STRK for many years.
STRF has a 10% coupon and already popped from 85 to 106, which is lot for a bond.
Saylor said at the conference that he superchared this tactic using AI for 95% of the 'content', then gave to the lawyers to polish the last 5%.
I have to say..it looks impressive.

Not a financial advice.

Musk does not understand that power>wealth.

This has been known since the Roman times (and even before).

In the first instance, some guy who was a protege of someone didn't become NASA head all of a sudden, but I digress.

I doubt that rich ever paid 50% or 70% Roosevelt and later tax.
I think that there was an exception for re-investing into business, etc, etc
This explains the complexity well;

we are talking about the upper tax bracket.

you can easy peasy see the country simply tapped out once they dropped the upper tax bracket well under 50%
