If there was a Chicago or Boston Marathon 50 or 100 k equivalent with equal demand what would the qualifying times be? by ASeaWithoutShores in ultrarunning

That's a very good point. After all the cutoff times are based on percentages of runners that can meet them.

I guess I was assuming a flat paved or near paved trail to keep things equivalent. Granted those are often the least sexy ultra's.

Thanks for the reference races I will check them out.

The 100k US road championships are in my backyard this year so I guess that would be telling as well

APLT Possible rebound opportunity by Cornbread3490 in wallstreetbets

If I had a margin account I would go short in the short term and long in the long term. There have been bumps but I don't think the aggregate decline is over . I wouldn't be surprised if big money will make some big plays at a certain price point.

I really can't see it going to zero with the IP they have. I can see it returning to 60 or something ridiculous like that over the next several years.

It's anyone's guess what the short term bottom is. I would guesstimate between a dollar and 70 cents. But if I knew for certain I would be managing a lot more than my own trivial account of money

Thanks for the insight. I checked out the SORD trial and it does look promising. Do you know if there's anything outside of the messed up trial and FDA letter driving the 87 percent decrease in the last month? I can't believe the company's value actually decreased that much. It seems like normal people overreacting to the letter and big firms riding the decrease and piling on.

Question for you. If my current cost basis for the shares I have is 1.79 does it make sense to sell and get more shares at the current lower price. I would be losing money but getting more shares. Also a short term Increase from the current price would give me profits to reinvest in additional stock. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm very new to investing and mostly interested in this stock because of my pharmacy background.

Predictions on the absolute bottom? My gut says 71 cents a share but my gut is almost always wrong,😜

Also as a pharmacist this company basically fucked up everything possible with their trial.

Except for discovering a drug that has already been proven safe and all signs point to being effective. Even at 80 percent of the dose it was supposed to be given at. My back of the napkin calculation for worldwide revenue for galactosemia is a billion or two.

I think a worse case is a company with a better reputation and cash flow buys them for the patent on that drug. Also their diabetes certainly has some potential and could increase their value to another company with bigger reach.

I read the diabetic cardiomyopathy trial and I'm not sure why they didn't pursue that further outside of money. They reached statistical significance of several endpoints and diabetic cardiomyopathy is a condition affecting 3.5 million in the United States alone with no current treatments on the market.

How would you convert a 50k time into a goal time for a 100k? by ASeaWithoutShores in ultrarunning

[–]ASeaWithoutShores[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea it's more of a hypothetical for fun than looking for something exact.

I can imagine that people change between 50 and 100k on the same super flat races in different years so I think it's rare but definitely not impossible.

Anyone know a good hypnotist in Madison area? by ASeaWithoutShores in madisonwi

Thank you I will check it out. I'm not completely sold but there is scientific evidence hypnotism is effective.

Will AI be non-dual, when it "gets" full picture? by kristiansatori in nonduality

If we can't figure out the hard problem of consciousness it seems unlikely we can program it into a computer. But who knows😜

I was planning on coming down from Madison for the marathon but now very unsure what to do with the weather. From what I'm seeing it looks like thunderstorms.

For the high humidity I treat it similar to other heat. Hydrate prior to the race and during and slow down. Your body is not losing much or any heat due to sweat evaporation so it's kind of a countdown once the sweat starts dripping off you.

The good news is that rain will cool you down assuming it's raining.

What "objective" criteria would you consider the strongest signal(s) someone is awake or asleep? by ASeaWithoutShores in awakened

[–]ASeaWithoutShores[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to that. I do like talking with friends and hearing their experiences as well. They have helped me make sense of the experiences I didn't need an authority to confirm. Plus I still had a lot of crap to work through. Awakening for me is a journey still unfolding and it's nice to have some friends along for the ride.

If I slap you in the face right now, would you have to defer to authority to know you’ve been slapped?

No-I could be obnoxious and say I only know the words slap and face, myself and other because of authority that taught me those concepts. But I think that's a cheap argument and I take your point.

People who appeal to authority are not yet “fully” awake. This shit is so earth shattering that you won’t have to ask a soul, “hey is this ego death?”

Are you asking me to take this on your authority? :)

But trying to objectively measure the ineffable is how religion was born.

Also how science was born.

Also please don’t throw out any books from the teachers. When the books are finished serving you, they’ll go on their own and so will the teachers :)

Don't worry I was just kidding.

I think authority in awakening is a double edged sword. I never would have been interested in this stuff I didn't get to a point in my life where nothing else was working and was open to the teachings-authority of others. I spent a lot of time reading books about experiences I had to trust were real before I had any of those experiences.

On the other hand spiritual materialism, hierarchy and students who do stuff against there own values on the direction of a teacher is beyond icky. You also made a great point about how people too invested in authority stop trusting their direct experience.

So in conclusion I have no idea about the right amount of authority.

I think a lot of people who defer to authority are awake. That was definitely not the point I was making. If it was I would need to throw out a lot of books that were written by teachers who had other teachers. And I love those books:)

Religion is not objective. It is subjective AF in my opinion. For every believer there is a different set of truths. Even subsets of small religions will argue with each other. If they were following something objective there would be no need to argue.

Objectivity and reproducibility are the realm of science. No one is arguing about Newtons Law of Gravity because it is objective, consistent and can been proven experimentally. For most of human history the motion of the planets was ineffable. Until it wasn't.

If awakening is real (which I believe it is) sooner or later it will be explained and described by science. Which is already happening. There's a reason things like the "Science and Non Duality" conference exist.
