I’m trying to find a roof light setup for my GX550 that has this look, but I’d rather avoid generic AliExpress or no-name Chinese brands.
Does anyone know of a US-made or well-known manufacturer that makes something similar?
Caught this at Heritage Europe / MPO Auction 90, Lot 9595: Mehmed II "the Conqueror" Altin Sultani, Qustantiniyya mint, AH 882, first year of issue. 3.53g, XF. Started at 1,500 EUR, hammered at 10,000 EUR, roughly 11,600 USD before fees.
This is the first gold coin the Ottomans ever struck, introduced in 1477–78 to Venetian ducat standard and minted in Constantinople, the city Mehmed took in 1453 to end the Eastern Roman Empire.
On supply I couldn't find a published survival census, so I won't pretend to one. How rare are they really? I don't see them at auction often.
A comparably historic Roman gold coin, not the untouchable trophies like the EID MAR aureus or the big medallions but an obtainable historic aureus, runs six figures. An Allectus aureus bid near 700k, a Mark Antony aureus 336k. Meanwhile a first year, first ever Ottoman gold coin tied to the fall of Constantinople clears at 11.6k.
The Islamic market is far smaller than the Roman one, and that explains most of the gap. But for what this coin actually is, the genesis of an entire empire's gold coinage struck by the Conqueror in the old Roman capital, 11.6k feels low. Feels like these are undervalued and creeping up as more collectors notice
Had a pretty insane experience today in my GX550 2026 Premium+. I was stopped at an intersection where I could either go straight or left. Traffic was coming from the right, and I had enough time to go. As soon as I committed and accelerated, the car flashed “BRAKE!” and the pre-collision/intersection assist completely cut throttle and slammed on the brakes.
It stopped me directly in front of an oncoming bus. Literally the exact thing it was supposedly trying to prevent. Gas pedal was completely unresponsive for like 2 seconds cause it cut the throttle.
If it had just let me continue, I would’ve cleared it. Instead, the system froze me in front of oncoming traffic.
Has anyone else had this happen in a GX550 or newer Lexus/Toyota Safety Sense vehicle?
The Ottomans claimed descent from the Kayı branch of the Oğuz Turks. When Ertuğrul and Osman were uç beys, they presumably had paternal kin — brothers, cousins, extended relatives from the same tribal group.
I'm curious what became of those collateral lines:
Not asking about the akıncı families (Mihaloğulları, Evrenosoğulları etc.), since those weren't necessarily Kayı blood. I mean actual paternal kin of the founding line. Curious whether this has ever been researched or if the trail just goes cold.
Meaning an attack on one member is treated as an attack on all, with formal military coordination, joint exercises, intelligence sharing, and mutual defense obligations.
Given the growing geopolitical importance of Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and potentially stronger integration in the future, wouldn't this make the Turkic world more secure and strategically independent?
Winters mean salted roads, slush, snow, and brutal cold for a solid 4 months.
For anyone who's done this long term, what should I actually expect? Worried about underbody/suspension corrosion, brake and fastener rust, wheel pitting, and whether the cold does anything nasty to the PDK or seals over time. Is regular undercarriage washing enough to keep it from rotting?
Someone dropped $410K on $MRVL puts at $287.5 expiring in 3 days. Nobody YOLOs almost half a mil into short dated puts like that unless they're sitting on something lmfao
And after market closes the CFO filing came out that he's dumping 207,329 shares. That's 48% of his entire position. $60 MILLION worth. Marked "unscheduled" too, so this wasn't some routine pre planned sale.
Insider unloads half his stake + a whale loads $410K in puts on the same name in the same week? Yeah. Someone obv knew. This market is cooked.
Curious to hear from owners who've put real miles on their 992. Looking at the long term ownership picture specifically what to expect after CPO ends.
A few things I'm trying to get a feel for:
For context I have a 2021 Carrera 4 at 22k miles, CPO expires in 5-6 months. Trying to decide if it's worth holding onto longer or making a move now. Appreciate any real world insight from people who've actually lived with these past the warranty period.
Want to go with the 0 offset config and some 35s with the Wescott Designs 2.5 inch lift. Want to make sure I don't need to do any trimming.
Asking because I saw a post about why a majority of Albanians are Muslim and the top comment is about saving on taxes.
“Michael, so you own 5% of all Bitcoin & decided you were going to sell some to test the liquidity?"
“That’s correct Dave.”
“And you did this immediately after using up your cash to buy back debt at an 8% discount?”
“I did, Dave.”
“So when you actually did what you said you were going to do, the liquidity test didn't go well?”
“Sadly true, Dave.”
"And you only sold 32 BTC, even though you knew that wouldn't be enough to cover the next year of dividend payments?"
"Yes, Dave."
"So in the process of selling BTC to try & save the Stretch dividend , you ended up killing BTC, Stretch, & MSTR?"
"I'm kind've retarded Dave."
Papa Trump got the deal done. OIL is going to PLUMMET. HAHA.
Looking at history, it seems like Turkic dynasties and states appeared almost everywhere across Eurasia for nearly a thousand years from the Göktürks and Seljuks to the Ottomans, Mughals, Timurids, various Central Asian khanates, etc.
What allowed Turkic people to repeatedly found large and militarily successful empires across such a huge geographic area?
Oil was $69 in fucking January. Only reason it's at $150 is because of our regard POTUS.
Every oil spike in history has retraced. Gulf War, Iraq War, even the Russia Ukraine spike. Big money's been positioning short into leaps because its kind of fucking obvious.
The trade is simple, war ends eventually and big head Trump tacos. Worst case I lose $20k and we're all in a recession anyways. BASE case IMO I make $50k+ because oil HAS to come down or we're all going to STARVE.
Fuck Iran, fuck Israel, fuck OPEC, fuck $5 gas, and fuck you for not calling Trumps bluff.

Have a shaw concepts ARC Carrier V2. Looking for a back panel. Wonder what this one is and if it's compatible!
Nobody is talking about the ANALOG chip trade.
Everyone's chasing MU and INTC. Analog hasn't moved just as much yet.
Even if you cut Aschenbrenner's "Situational Awareness" numbers in half, call it $1-2T annual AI capex by 2030 that's still 10x today and the biggest industrial buildout since WWII. Every cluster of compute needs analog chips. TXN is the leader with domestic manufacturing which is HUGE on the race to AGI / ASI. The national security establishment will require us to be in total control of compute + manufacturing.
National security — $60B domestic fab buildout. 80% in house US manufacturing. The government will mandate domestic AI chips. We've already seen it with Trump's INTC deal. TXN's fabs are operational. Nobody else is.
AI — Nvidia co designed the 800V power architecture for next-gen racks with TXN directly. Every H100 cluster needs TXN to function. Data center is 9% of revenue growing 70% YoY. Going to $1T training clusters by 2030. None of it works without analog.
Nuclear — Trump signed 4 nuclear EOs in May 2025 and EO 14318 fast-tracking data center permitting in July. Microsoft restarting Three Mile Island. Amazon $20B at Susquehanna. Meta RFP for 1-4GW. Every reactor + every grid converter + every datacenter = TXN chips at every node.
Space — When you buy SpaceX at $2T at IPO, you're paying for orbital AI infrastructure that hasn't been built yet. When you buy TXN, you're buying the company that supplies every dollar of analog content inside every satellite including the orbital AI compute buildout.
$60k stock. Deploying $40k LEAPs. Tell me why I'm wrong.
tl;dr: Unusual Whales competitor with a free tier that lets you see insider option flow with no subscription: pve.trade
There's been a ton of insider trading in the market. Made some posts about the ones I've caught:
The flow before eBays acquisition news
$46k into $4M with 1DTE $META calls
$28k into $279k with 1DTE RXT calls
I realized there's a pattern to these types of trades and decided to make the flow free.
Basically filters for the "someone knows something" trades. It's 15 min delayed (OPRA rules), but the moves rarely play out in the first 15 minutes anyway.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Someone slammed $28,000 into RXT $2.5 calls expiring in 1 day. Literally no one does that without knowing something lmfao
Of course today news comes out that they partnered with AMD and those calls are up nearly 1000%.
Someone obv knew. This market is cooked.
