Apparently if Infinex has less than 1000 users then I am one of them. If they had 10 users Id probably one of them too because I’m lazy/paranoid about moving between wallets/apps But its been a solid go-to trading platform (I like desktop exp. @kain) the last year especially when rotating between solana/eth/L2s and frankly I was a little worried it was going to be sunsetted at some point since momentum seemed to have stalled. Intrigued to see whats next from Kain and crew

The answer to the last two questions ofc is No inject me and cure my goddam cancer
This is a slide from Terence Tao's 'Math 2.0' public lecture yesterday evening at Caltech. I am highly confident that, if the cure actually worked, almost any Stage 4 cancer patient would tell you that human comprehension of its mechanism is completely irrelevant to them.

The difference in support for an average user between @Shopify and @GoogleAds is night and day and Shopify is massively more helpful. Both start with an AI prompt. While Google's AI just relists help pages line for line, Shopify's connect my question to the page I was looking at and then serves possibilities, including reaching out to a human agent. From there, Shopify had someone online and active in a minute or two. The situation I was in required some nuance that wasn't covered in the help article. When I tried to prompt Google for more help or ways to understand my specific situation it just got stuck in a loop regurgitating the help articles. No possibility to chat with someone, no way to get in touch, just automated slop. Im sure it's a difference in scale. The number of people with issues in Google Ads and Merchant Center probably dwarf the people that have revenue-generating Shopify accounts. But at least let me filter my account with ad spend or previous account history or something...

These guys havent missed much independently recently. if I see BOTH Austin and DCF hyped on a token, like they have been the past few months with GRASS then you know its worth a punt
DCF usually gets these things right

Derive closed 94.5% higher, the largest gain on the roster. It was also the only name whose business kept pace. Protocol revenue rose 96.7% week over week to $161,465. The token's return and the revenue's change landed within two points of each other.

David is one of those products where Im like you know what, maybe I’ll just run for an extra 30 min and have a real milkshake instead of fucking around with EPG and the “structure system” in this slop
David's protein milkshake has 2 grams of fat in it and tastes like a milkshake. The fat is one ingredient, EPG, and your body mostly doesn't absorb it. The label sorts itself into four systems, which is unusual for a consumer product. Protein system: ultrafiltered skim milk, water, lactase enzyme. Fat system: modified plant fat, EPG. Flavor system: Dutch process cocoa, natural and artificial flavor, salt, sucralose, acesulfame potassium. Structure system: dipotassium phosphate, gum arabic, cellulose gum, gellan gum. EPG is the interesting part. It starts as rapeseed oil. They split the oil into glycerol and fatty acids, insert propylene glycol units into the glycerol, and put it back together. Those inserted units sit right where lipase needs to grab, so the enzyme mostly can't break it down. It coats your mouth like fat and carries flavor like fat, then leaves without giving up its calories. 10 grams of regular fat is 90 calories. 10 grams of EPG is about 7. If you're old enough to remember olestra, that's the right comparison and it's the reason this one is built differently. Olestra was a liquid oil at body temperature, and that's where the side effects came from. EPG melts at 102 degrees, above body temperature, so it stays solid on the way through. The company describes the consistency as soft candle wax. The structure system is four ingredients. Gellan gum comes from a bacterial fermentation and forms a gel so thin you can't feel it, but strong enough to hold cocoa particles in suspension. It's what keeps the cocoa from sinking to the bottom during months on a shelf. Gum arabic is dried sap from the acacia tree. It's an emulsifier, so it keeps the fat and the water from separating. Cellulose gum is plant fiber that's been modified to dissolve, and it adds body so the shake feels thick instead of watery. Dipotassium phosphate is a buffer. Milk protein wants to clump when it's heated to make a drink shelf stable, and the phosphate holds the pH where the protein stays dissolved. The sweeteners are a pair. Sucralose is slow to hit and lingers. Acesulfame potassium hits fast and has a bitter finish. Blended, each one covers the other and the result tastes close enough to sugar. The Dutch process cocoa is cocoa treated with alkali, which darkens it, softens the bitterness, and makes it disperse in liquid instead of clumping the way natural cocoa does. EPG is GRAS, not an approved food additive. The company assembles the safety file, FDA reviews it and issues a letter saying it has no questions. There are three of those letters on file. The molecule was developed in the 80s and didn't reach a product until around 2020. The longest human study in the file ran eight weeks. So the safety data is real, but the long term impact is being written right now by the people drinking it.

Nomatic (accidentally) called it a year ago. $0.29 is destiny for $DRV by the end of Sept
I don’t own any $DRV and have no ties to the team, but after years in DeFi, I like to think I’ve developed a decent eye for spotting turnarounds. I think the prophecy of onchain options is actually about to be realized. Seeing signs, consider this a shill before fill. ($0.29)

Look I get it, millennial gray and LVP have gone too far but lets be honest, the style here is several generations earlier. People are completely passing over the gaudy wallpaper, popcorn ceilings and dirty warm colored carpets that we grew up with left over from the 70s and 80s
Humans really saw this and said “let’s make the floors laminate and paint everything gray”
