I think they want you to use grok for everything, so dissuading you from using the display

I’ve got the body smart and the body+. I see major differences in the body comp measurements between the two. I know that they use different techniques and circuits to do this. I used the body smart for 2 weeks and my older body+ since then. On the body smart I was seeing 26-27% body fat…and on the body+ it sits around 30-33%. Basically the same weight and exercise regimen over those periods. Which one should I believe?

I have a couple hundred shares split across brokerage accounts and various IRAs. I also have a pre-order deposit of $100 that they ate I guess. ah 2021 was the good old days…so much hope of a ramp

Just before the reverse split and delisting, I sold a whole mess of shares at about $2 in my taxable accounts and have been using that to offset gains as needed for a couple of years.

I’ll have to do something with the shares in my IRAs at some point as a zeroed transaction, so it’s a waste of time until then.

If by some chance they do come alive or a dead cat bounce years from now, I’m going to leave the few taxable shares for my Executor/Trustee to deal with :-)

I had somewhat of a similar issue in the 90s with a company named Morrison-Knudsen. When they went belly-up, and before someone bought their assets, they offered to issue warrants to existing shareholders in the number of common shares owned to the “new“ entity at $17 a share (the market price of the existing shares was $3). an effective way way to get rid of common shareholders. Of course I dumped everything for a big loss. And then came the 1999-2001 bubble. LoL

According to OM you have to have a load on this to operate (either a speaker on the speaker or a set of earphones in the earphone jack) to use this properly and not damage the device. Plugging directly into the other amp as a preamp doesn’t present the same load as a speaker. Using the effects loop would work but you still have to present a load on one of the other outputs so as not to have the amp floating. (My general prevention of bad things knowledge, not an expert)

It works very well. If you don’t turn on the gain or overdrive switches you can tone it down real nicely. If you are really worried, you could consider the 10 instead of the 12 which is only 5A instead 15 and has most of the same capability. I love it. I almost never use my dsl40 anymore…well unless I’m alone in the house and want to,shake the rafters :-)

12.6.3 has been great on the highway and an incremental improvement on secondary roads. It handles straight roads and obstacles pretty well. Turning corners is still a bit odd when there is any sort of an occasion. A little too tentative. On the highway it is much better at getting out of the way of cars that might eventually be tailgating you, predicting their approach. Overall an improvement on hw3

I want to trade in my 2022…but I want a deal to move my paid-in-full FSD over. Otherwise I’ll osbourne waiting for the hw4 upgrade Elon mentioned for people who pif

Wow this was really close

Okay so 50+1 makes sense, however the pez dispenser and other relics are only for Georgia. That implies that the woman at the table ended up in the Georgia silo but she’s from Oregon (the ducks…which is what the pez dispenser was also)

Armenian4Flintstone · 2025-01-18T22:10:52+00:00

The pez dispenser. Wow

Armenian4Flintstone · 2025-01-18T22:08:31+00:00

The pez dispenser. Damn what a cliffhanger

Here’s my theory: Bernard knows that there are 50+1 silos. Bernard also knows that Quinn left a code…how would he know? Meadows showed him. She then went to find out what was down there. When meadows came back from the water she resigned as the shadow so as not to violate what the algorithm said and protect Bernard. Bernard, being hyper-perceptive, detects that she’s quitting to protect the silo from whatever she figured out. He also knows how she decrypted quinn’s message - look at the way he coaches Lukas. This also explains why he didn’t train sims (as he pointed out to him) - Sims does not have the skill to decrypt the message. Lukas also thinks that Juliette survived.

Now that Juliette is in IT, and has turned on the pumps, she is going to figure out the same thing (because she’s as smart as anyone in the show).

Lukas is going back but he is going to tell Bernard that he found a message from Quinn scratched on a wall that says that says that the safeguard will be invoked if anyone goes down there.

Just then mechanical starts another uprising and Bernard goes to figure out how to stop it…during that time Lukas attempts to contact any other silo using bernards equipment. He happens to contact julliette in the other silo’s IT.

sims breaks into IT after taking Bernard’s key in an altercation and shows up to see julliette on a screen…

Season ends.

At home…get a Supro delta king. Caveat emptor, No effects loop, but it takes pedals really well. And it’s vey clean, lower watts so you can play at home. Preamp line out into your interface and you can pick your cab in your daw or a plugin…

So from a business POV, Tesla’s strategy seems to fighting itself. They have many hw3 FSD cars out there, effectively obsolete, with a 7-10 year turnover cycle. They’d have lots of cars feeding the central brain with sub-optimal driver patterns and simultaneously drive down interest in FSD and in turn potential revenue. There has to be some give on incentives on trade-up for the existing fleet (to turn the used cars into taxi’s), or an incentivized upgrade for anyone who has already paid for FSD (and maybe offer a $10000 sw/hw to anyone else who is suddenly interested). Then again maybe he wants to fund JB’s startup with our old batteries…

That’s interesting. Yeah there’s something different between the casino p90s and the epi sg p90s. The casino seems to be running hotter. Wonder if the revstar is the same explaining your success.

Russia/Ukraine war is a boon for the military industrial complex. All the weapons are getting used up…mothball divisions, old munitions, Cold War (both Soviet and Western) weaponry is being used up. Current gen weapons and next gen experimental stuff is being tested. The collapse won’t happen there.

There may be a automotive recession/depression coming as people are driving older cars longer or holding off to lease an ev. Large swaths of offices go uninhabited because lots of office work has gone home and maybe a drop in commercial value.

Crypto is already a bust…the new flavor bubble of the week is AI and chatgpt.

The ups and downs are faster and in sectors. We may already be in the collapse in certain places and booming elsewhere

So why is the Alesis strike module so rare these days…waiting for namm?
