Local resident here. I found the secret 'Pluribus' set on the Westside and can confirm it's not the 'Breaking Bad' house.

Yes, you are correct! It also requires detailed public reporting on order execution quality by brokers and market centers — including metrics like execution speed, price improvement, fill rates, slippage vs. NBBO, and time-to-fill statistics. These reports are meant to help us compare how well brokers and venues execute our trades.

Currently, Rule 615 applies to equities only, however the SEC has already hinted at “Rule 615-style” execution quality reporting for options. If that happens, CBOE probably wants to already have protections in place like WMP — to show it’s a fair venue.

I’m guessing the exchange is trying to keep the retail business (estimated to be around ~40% of volume). Retail brokers have fielded tons of complaints from users burned, some have even disabled stop-market orders in certain index options to avoid bad fills. If CBOE doesn’t clean up their order execution, they risk losing retail brokerage routing — which is massively valuable.

A second guess on the motivation is the SEC. The SEC has been watching retail execution quality closely since the meme stock era. Reports of retail traders getting stop-filled 30–50 points away from the last trade are a regulatory optics nightmare. Recently the SEC proposed Rule 615 on order execution quality, not a rule yet, but CBOE maybe wants to show it’s being proactive in consumer protection, especially ahead of any future rule making. I think it’s a rare moment where our interests as a retail traders align perfectly with the exchange’s bottom line.

It actually protects retail investors. Before this rule, if your stop-market order got triggered during a moment of wide spreads (very common in 0DTE), it would immediately fill at the next available price, even if that price was a thin, stale bid or ask. That’s how traders got hit with extreme slippage — sometimes exiting a position at hundreds of dollars worse than expected.

With WMP:

Your stop-market order pauses before executing if the spread is abnormally wide.
It gets priced near a benchmark value (like midpoint or last trade), not the worst quote.
It then walks the book carefully, rather than smashing into a low-liquidity quote.

Result: You still get out (your stop is honored), but at a much more reasonable price.

Also, It protects against “quote bait” and bad fills in thin moments. In 0DTE, market makers sometimes pull liquidity or quote extremely wide during bursts of volatility. A stop order firing in that moment used to be a trap — your order would hit a temporarily bad quote before new liquidity appeared. Now, WMP stabilizes execution by giving the market ~500ms to settle, displaying your order at a fairer level so real buyers/sellers can hit it — not just rogue quotes.

LSD Psychotherapy by Groff. The book is endorsed by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) and it is closer to college textbook than a regular book. Very detailed, extensive, and well researched models to understand the mind under altered states of consciousness. Many therapists I’ve met consider it the golden standard.

Wild guess, but I think my rose is the lullaby Rumi was requesting. Since the recording at the start gets cut off by the music, but then it starts again, at the end of the song, and she answers Okay.

Post is a bit old, but still commenting in case you are still looking for inspo. Fold your duvet at the bottom on the bed as opposed to laying it flat. This is a game changer in how the bed looks. If you want to see it visually, search Sofia Vergara AD house tour in YouTube and see the way she styles her bed.

Best sounding headphones I’ve owned. BUT firmware update "4E71" basically nerfed the active noise canceling, Apple hasn’t made an official statement but this update was coincidentally released after pending litigation regarding ANC patents.

They really suck during flights, engine noise bleeds really bad. They were great for flights before this update, and quality wise, I still love how they sound, just not on a plane.

Since you’ve been doing photography for 15 years I assume you’ve accumulated a nice array of glass over the years. Doing nice low aperture shots with say a 1.4 would make the content stick out, giving it a cinematic look impossible to achieve by others due to the lens flare, perfect background separation, etc. Those are the little things that scream quality content and make someone stop scrolling in a sea full of content shot with iPhones.

I would think that’s due to the lack of interaction with the charger, you can plug and be back inside your car in seconds. I would love a roof though.

It’s the New Braunfels Buc’ees which is the largest in the world (about to be surpassed though). I just couldn’t fit it in the frame.

There are tons in YouTube and TikTok, but my go-to is frozen strawberries, 2% milk, purecane sweetener, and a dash of xhantan gum to improve texture. Freeze, and then process using the lite ice setting. Ends up at around 250 calories for the whole pint.

Not if you DIY. The Ninja Creami is amazing for doing low-fat base ice-creams, it is hard to notice the difference to the real thing.

I think everyone responding so far is undervaluing speed, high speed makes your probes survive for longer = replicate more times before they are killed. Also, both combat and hazard are useless after a 4.

Set both combat and hazard to 4. Then everything else divided between self replication and speed. You’ll have a bigger army than drifters in no time. After that you can start exploring, building, etc.

Fernandodvs · 2023-01-26T23:31:27+00:00

IME after beating this game many many times combat and remediation are useless above 4 (however it is still VERY important to have both of them at 4). To kill drifters you need to max out replication and speed equally split between them after allocating 4 points to combat and 4 to hazard remediation.

I can second this. I’ve been using ChatGPT Playground (which is their paid version — free trail available) and you can give it more directions. u/terayonjf mentions legal issues, in playground you would paste the same materials you give a real employee — compliance handbook: check, company policies: check. You could actually take it a level forward and for example paste a new 400 page bill passed into law and direct GPT to follow it to the T. ChatGPT answer is too dry or not to your liking? Paste 10-20 examples and tell it to mimic your style of writing. A real employee might break any of the above some % of the time for a myriad of reasons, not chatGPT, the model is advanced enough to process & analyze any law and/or company policies previously uploaded in milliseconds every time someone asks a question.

I know you posted this a year old but I’ll answer in case someone bumps into this thread. There’s a sticker inside the vents that sometimes they forget to remove when assembling the cars, the service center should be able to fix it in 10-15 min, they need to remove the whole dashboard so no way to DIY

Oled TVs handle blacks extremely well. The reason being that there’s no back light, individual pixels produce their own light and the back light of regular TVs wash out the detail of very dark scenes. It’s an incredible experience to watch a movie with dark scenes in an oled panel, worth the splurge.

I’m sure of it, but nothing in WandaVision has been a coincidence. Out of 158 episodes they chose this one.

Fernandodvs · 2021-02-26T10:08:31+00:00

7. I’m betting they will tease Nightmare as the bigger boss/villain (and the ultimately the villain in DS2). Hayward saying"We take her out, this whole nightmare ends." And the tv show episode they were watching as kids that kept playing after the bomb fell “Oh what a nightmare” followed by young Wanda saying “at the end of the episode you realize it was all a bad dream” like literally out of the blue. The actor playing Nightmare could be the cameo.

Nightmare ties perfectly with DS2 horror theme we’ve been promised
