The grid is no longer the fastest way to get power. LBNL's Queued Up 2026: 2,061 GW of generation and storage sits in the U.S. interconnection queue — and median time from request to operation hit 61 months for 2025 builds, vs 22 months in 2008.

The hardware isn't there either. High-voltage power transformers average 128-week lead times; substation units run past 160 weeks. Costs are up 77% since 2019. Just 322 miles of high-voltage transmission were completed in 2024, against ~5,000 miles a year needed.

So power is coming to the load. On Oct 13, Enerflex announced over 1 GW of behind-the-meter gas generation for a North American data center — backlog now tops 1.75 GW through 2028. tresslersgroup.com/insights/…

Your habit tracker is probably why you quit. Gamification systems drop off in 2–4 weeks. Goodhart's Law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." Value capture is the deeper trap — rich goals replaced by crisp metrics.

Streaks weaponize loss aversion — losing a streak hurts ~2x more than gaining one pleases. The fixes: cap Dailies at 35% of level-up XP (forcing Boss Fights); gradual streak decay instead of reset-to-zero; a "somatosensory floor" blocking progression when sleep/nutrition fail.

And write goals in third person — "Marcus the Scholar is executing a deep-work sprint." The Batman effect reframes threats as challenges. Design the game so the player can't be destroyed by playing it. tresslersgroup.com/insights/…

Listen to what HIH Reza Pahlavi told the West:
"The way Europe looks at the Middle East... you think it's far away, bunch of Muslims hitting each other, won't affect you."
How naive. Look at Paris today.
They're imposing Sharia not in DAMASCUS , but in Paris, London, Brussels.
The Shah warned you 50 years ago. You didn't listen. Now look at your own backyard.

Roger Scruton recalls the exact moment he became a conservative during the 1968 Paris riots:
“When I looked down the street and saw all these rowdy students throwing stones at policemen, I just said to myself, ‘Whatever they believe, I believe the opposite.’”

Not a single Muslim-owned shop or mosque was looted during the riots in France.
On one street in Marseille, where 40% of the population is Muslim, ALL Jewish-owned businesses were set on fire, while not a single Muslim-owned business was touched.
The odds of that happening by random chance are 1 in 123 billion.
These were targeted pogroms. The rioters had lists of addresses identifying which shops to attack.

“Muslims are just 1% of the US population. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Muslims make up around 10% of France’s population, and the entire country is on fire.
Not so long ago, they were also “just” 1% of France’s population.

Inside a human brain when reading a book.
Community note
This video shows time-lapse of cultured neurons connecting via growth cones in a lab dish, not processes in a living human brain while reading. Similar real clips by Dr. Lila Landowski show developmental wiring; this one's exact source is unconfirmed.

This aged well. Back in 2017, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, warned Europe about the dangers of extremism. Looking at Europe today, it’s hard to ignore how relevant his words have become.

The Muslim Brotherhood does not knock on the door. It takes a seat on the school board, the charity, the student union, and waits. The UAE saw the method early and designated the whole organisation in 2014. Europe is still arguing with its masks.
