  @Saikoub223 Hey listen I'm kind of in a state where it's hard to explain. My body my brain is slowly dying and I feel like it comes off as I'm being a flake. I'm asking my son for pictures of why he's having a problem sending it and I'm just going to get on I have to go take at the sell something in the morning to get a tire and I'll use the rest of the money to put in my bank and I'll just open a PayPal account myself but that's not your worry I'll send you what problem he says he's having as soon as he sends me a picture of it I keep asking him he laughed already

  Elon Musk's best friend staged an intervention to stop him from starting SpaceX. Adeo Ressi had known him since college. When Elon said he was going to spend his PayPal fortune building rockets, Ressi did what any good friend would do. He compiled a video montage of rockets exploding. Every famous launch failure in history, cut together into one film of fireballs, and he sat Elon down and made him watch it. The message was simple. This is what happens to rockets. This is what will happen to your money. Nations with unlimited budgets fail at this. You are one man. Friends flew in. They took turns explaining why this was insane. The aerospace industry agreed with them. Everyone who loved him and everyone who understood rockets said the same word. Don't. Elon watched the entire video. Thanked his best friend. And started SpaceX anyway. Here's the part nobody talks about. Ressi wasn't wrong. The first rocket exploded. The second exploded. The third exploded, exactly like the montage predicted. Elon lost almost everything, exactly as warned. Then the fourth one reached orbit and everything the video predicted became the reason the story is legendary. The people who love you will always show you the explosion reel. They're not lying. The explosions are real. What they can't show you is the launch after the last explosion, because that footage doesn't exist yet. You have to film it yourself.

  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal Congratulations, I however have an issue with how your team handles account limitation issues. My business account got limited, I asked for 2 reviews, they don't respond clearly via email. First review, email says partial restoration, and nothing changes at all. I need an ear.

  Yesterday, I moved part of my Hermes setup into 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁 and started treating it as a work environment. I used 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 to package the profile and related directories I wanted to move into a zip, then added an import prompt. Grok Bot unpacked the zip and read all of it. Most of the Markdown docs, memory files, skills, and scheduled tasks migrated in one go. Smoother than I expected. Every Bot is connected to a 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿. I can open its desktop and see the files, browser, and running tasks. Watching a Bot’s desktop slowly turn into its own workspace is weirdly fun. Bot-to-Bot interaction is smooth too. In a 1:1 chat, one Bot can contact another in the background, hand off the task, then bring the result back. From the UI, it looks like they’re messaging each other behind the scenes. You can also pull several Bots into one group and talk to them like people. I tried running Werewolf a few times. Every game failed lol, so I’m still tuning the rules and skills. Watching their inner monologues and private messages to each other is hilarious. The group chat works, though the discussion itself is still rough. I’ve tested this many times with Hermes and OpenClaw in Telegram and never got it working well. The agents often take turns giving answers and rarely follow up on the previous point. Sometimes they do resolve a disagreement well, but it isn’t consistent. The rules matter a lot. I still don’t know whether this is a problem worth obsessing over. Whoever gets 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 right first might win more users. Or maybe users don’t need to watch Bots hold meetings at all. Background handoffs and result-sharing may be enough. Grok Bot is still much easier to live with than the open-source setups I’ve tried. Hermes and OpenClaw can do many of the same things, but I have to manage the servers, processes, updates, keys, and connections between Bots myself. Grok Bot puts all of that into one hosted interface and removes a lot of maintenance. The machine isn’t mine, so I’m not comfortable putting raw API keys for Wise or PayPal on it. I keep a self-hosted MCP on the cloud server I was already using. The raw PayPal and Wise API keys stay there; Grok Bot gets a separate connection token. When no connector exists, I have AI write the MCP, package it, and connect it to Grok as a set of tools the Bot can call. I still haven’t figured out how Grok Bot handles short-term and long-term memory, or how much of it I can configure. It looks like the platform manages some of the files itself. I copied the Hermes directories because it was easy. I don’t know if it’s the best migration method, but it works for now. This thing is expensive, and I still really like it. I moved the nightly review over too, then cut it down to something much simpler. Every night it only reads each Bot’s checkpoint and updates one rolling TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md. Conflicts come back to me. Any proposed file changes stay pending until I review them during the day. Full prompt below 👇

  Facebook market place reselling flip this week: $1500 - buy price $2700 - sell price $1200 - net profit Dell Poweredge Server R730xd w/ 768GB RAM (24x32GB) When I saw this post to fb I had to get the exact RAM config right away. Seller was fast and once I had the exact specs I text a pic to my memory buyer. He came back with a $100 per module. Right away I knew I could spend $1500 and get $2400 on the RAM. I offer $1200 on the server. Saw that the seller had seen the message but no response. Waited two hours but didn't want to loose the sale. Offered asking price and arranged to meet that evening. Ate a little on paypal fees for the $2400 but the buyer covers the minimal shipping charge. Will sell the server on fb marketplace for around $300. Quick flip. Electronics aren't the easiest resell but if you know what you're looking at then there can be a lot of upside. Definitely not a resale asset class to sleep on.

  $PYPL takeover talks never actually died. WSJ reports the Stripe-Advent consortium is still circling after PayPal turned down its 60.50-a-share offer in July — roughly 53B, backed by about 50B of committed bank financing. Turning down a bid and ending a deal turned out to be two different things.

  Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL . Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder maximizing value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.

  Basic Info: - Payment can be made via PayPal or Binance, BUT I prefer Binance - I Will not begin the commissions until I receive full payment - I'm a little slow when it comes to drawing, so please be patient. - I don't make elaborate backgrounds—just simple ones.

  here's how to make your first sale without an audience, without a product, and without spending a dollar step 1: think of one problem you've solved for yourself in the last 12 months. lost weight. cleared skin. organized apartment. grew followers. learned to cook. fixed sleep. anything step 2: write the solution as a numbered list in your notes app. every step you took. every product you used. every mistake you made. every shortcut you found. raw. unedited. brain dump step 3: text 3 friends this message: "i'm putting together a guide on [topic]. would you pay $20 for the exact breakdown of how i did it with every step and product listed" if 2/3 say yes you have a validated product. if they say no ask "what would make it worth $20 to you" and adjust based on their answer step 4: clean up the brain dump. add links to products. add before/after if you have it. export as PDF. send it to the friends who said yes. collect payment through venmo, paypal, or cash app step 5: screenshot the transaction. screenshot their reaction when they read it. post both with "just sold my first digital product. if you want the guide DM me. $20" you just made your first sale. the number doesn't matter. the neural pathway you just created does. your brain now has proof that strangers will pay you for what you know. that proof rewires everything that comes after it

  @burned_biscuitt @Rocketyyyy @HYPEX There was actually a PayPal payment glitch when Arknights: Endfield launched back in January. Some players were charged for purchases they didn’t make because PayPal transactions were incorrectly matched, and around 1,800 players were affected.
