You should all know that we have a 4 year window to go as hard as fucking imaginable. Deadly serious. Leave it all on the court. It’s a miracle we have another shot at all. Press me to go harder, I will do the same with all of you. Alhamdulilah.

Dubai airport looks like one of the most advanced civilizations on earth. The Emirates are a sweltering, lifeless, desert. Almost uninhabitable, until now. They produced more rain than their ancestors would have ever prayed for. They’re bringing life to a deadened waste.
Dubai airport looks like an apocalyptic movie. Videos of the flooding are insane. I’ve seen some blaming climate change when the cause is actually from the use of weather modification. Cloud seeding where chemicals are sprayed in clouds to create rain caused this. We recently

We gotta think bigger.
China uses anti-aircraft guns to seed clouds in dry and desert areas. Instead of firing conventional ammunition, these guns are loaded with chemical mixtures, primarily silver iodide, which are aimed at inducing rainfall from clouds.

Tbh I find this silly and I think most of GenZ agrees. 1950-2016 was unsustainable candyland. GenZ knows nothing besides the tension of the times, the tension is the natural state of things, tumult is the default. It is what it is, let’s go.
This captures the mood of the times perfectly.

I respect the right to sovereignty and self determination of every people. but imagine being from such an inconsequential country that a random american tech bro can write a thread on buying your land. and it's a sufficiently credible threat that you legislature needs to respond.
@drydenwtbrown Danish member of parlament here. No. Greenlandic independence requires approval by the Danish parlament and a change of our constitution. I can guarantee you that there is no way we would approve indepence so that you could buy Greenland. Nice fantasy but forget it.

Dork.
Hackathons are mostly a waste of time. Basically nothing created there goes on to become a success (with undoubtedly a handful of exceptions). If there’s value there, it’s merely introducing future co-founders to each other, with the hackathon being a selection filter.
