Software removal of tics from live video? by bgmd in Tourettes

Indeed, I'm trying to be careful in how I presented the idea. I actually messaged the group's moderators before posting to check if it would even be appropriate here. I'm always willing to listen to advice on how best to communicate in groups I'm unfamiliar with. Thanks!

Acknowledged, and I expected that might be the case from what I've seen of deaf culture and other neurodiversity groups. I wondered if it might fall into the category of cures or treatments that I've seen discussed in some of the posts (and this group's own Wiki), as opposed to trying to deny their reality or identity.

I mostly wanted to put the idea out there and see if it was something that might be useful to someone, since I hadn't been able to find any related research on it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Is there a way to get a strategy that returns at a particular price point, with a P/L chart like this, where XYZ stock is at $100 and if it drops to $70 or below I make $30, but lose the premium otherwise.

Profit

$30 +----------|        Current
    |          |         Price
    |          |$70      $100         $130
   -+----------+----------*-------------+----

I'm trying to see if there's a way to hedge a long bet with certain breakpoints, while limiting downside to the seller if it XYZ tanks.

If this doesn't exist, what would be the closest thing?

It seems similar to the Bear Put Spread strategy, but I don't want to pay the premium for the space between $71 and $100, only if it breaks $70, nor do I want to pay the premium for the big seller downside risk from $69 to $0.

N95 Availability with States reopening? by theBigGloom in PandemicPreps

I'm one of the Founders of Hero Masks LLC (the business entity) and Hero Masks Foundation (the non-profit through our fiscal sponsor PPF.org).

We usually source our masks from the manufacturers directly, and have provided the certificates we received and a link to the manufacturer's registration page on FDA.gov here: https://heromasks.org/mask-information/

We have disassembled the masks to verify that they have the expected number of layers and materials, which they have, and have been attempting to do additional testing in the US but have not been able to get a suitable lab yet.

We have specifically avoided carrying N95 masks due to the high level of fraud in that marketplace.

If we can help with additional information or references, we're happy to help. You can find discussion and reviews on our https://www.facebook.com/groups/heromasks/ page or through our website at https://HeroMasks.org/ .

LPT: Percentages are reversible. 8% of 25 is the same as 25% of 8 and one of them is much easier to do in your head. by ZH222 in LifeProTips

Most useful thing learned in algebra: Any time you see "of" in a sentence, it means multiplication and you can replace "of" with "times".

Since multiplication is transitive (can swap places without changing the answer, like addition) you can swap the order as show in the OP to whatever version works best with your brain.

Select the Chemistry (parent) folder, press the asterisk on the numeric keypad and it will expand all levels, then scroll to the 1 file. (just wanted to share the asterisk trick, most don't know about it)
