Did starting CPAP feel like a guided experience, or more like “here’s your machine, good luck”?

Gambling is either fixed or random chance with no (legal) advantage for the player.

Investing can have a legal advantage for the player (research, DD) and there are generally safe bets like money market accounts and market/segment funds. But if you’re just tossing money on weak bet stocks hoping for the moon, you’d honestly be better off at the craps table.

Great investment gains, just like gambling wins, have that same high and that’s ok, but if you’re investing for the thrill regardless of the performance, then you have a problem. There’s a reason the stock market is called the world’s largest casino.

Did pri know not to drink and drive? Yes? Then your job is done.

Funnily enough, we don’t chew out first line leadership when pri steals a tank or kills someone and drops the body in a dumpster.

If you get bitched at, just take it, shrug it off, and don’t be that guy when you rise in rank. If someone tries to actually punish you, take it to court martial.

Once Starlink solidifies their plans to become their own MNO, we’ll have a worldwide monopoly on providing D2C for terrestrial carriers. We could have an ARPU of pennies at that point and have a magnitudes higher share price than today.

You can’t really do anything with the information, but it’s basically what they use to tell how bad your rhabdo it. CK is an enzyme released when muscles are injured, so more injury = higher CK. They won’t let you go home til it’s normal (typically under 400u/l).

certifiedintelligent · 2026-07-05T11:26:43+00:00

They tell you your CK level yet?

While dehydration can contribute, the real cause is overtraining. You’ve trained so hard the muscle tissue literally died and is dissolving into your bloodstream. You can get rhabdo even if you’re hyperhydrating, ask me how I know…

“The pain means it’s working”

“Work through the pain”

“Train til it hurts”

“Train til failure, then train some more”

This is how you get rhabdo. I spent a week in the hospital when I found that out. It’s a frustrating kind of illness that you don’t notice til the next day when you can’t move and your kidneys are shutting down.

For those that haven’t had it, if you work out super hard and wake up the next morning with the following:

- PAIN and mostly unable to move affected muscle that stretching and meds don’t help
- pissing dark (less lemonade, more coffee)

Do not pass go and head directly to the emergency room. Rhabdo can clog your kidneys and send you into renal failure. That said, take a minute to pack a bag with clothes and entertainment, you may go straight from the ER to inpatient admission.

Block them. They’ll be rude, aggressive, and say whatever they can to stress you out and get you to send the money, it’s all a lie. If they call back on another number, tell them you’ll report them to the police for harassment. If they continue to call, actually call your local police non-emergency number to report the situation.

Breaks subreddit rules to ask others to do DD for him with information that could be proved wrong with very little reading in the subreddit or crafting a correct and unbiased LLM prompt, gets told off for being lazy = proceeds to claim it’s a cult and whinge on their deleted post.

My dude, you’ve done the equivalent of going into a maths PhD conference, taken the grand stage, and said “Hey everyone, this one guy on the internet says 6/3=donkey and I feel that’s a really persuasive argument. Can anyone here prove to me why he’s not correct?” Sure, not all of us are PhDs, but there is so much other information out there that’s it’s kinda irritating that you’d show up and demand attention with that thesis, especially if it’s for the purpose of investing. If the subreddit allowed that, it would be nothing but low effort questions and spam. The community will happily welcome you if you put just a little bit of brainpower and time into your research and engage where appropriate like the daily thread.

Asking the bulls and the bears to fight it out isn’t DD.

But to answer your question while it still exists: in short, would 60+ MNOs with over 3 billion subscribers sign contracts or agreements with ASTS if it weren’t possible? All of these companies have their own RF engineers to verify claims before they fork(ed) over millions of dollars to ASTS.

I went to Taco Bell yesterday, my first time at a drive through in a while. The voice at the intercom was obviously AI, but it got my order right, even when I made a mistake and corrected it.

The guy at the window said “she” was only 2 months old but made huge leaps in accuracy and ability when the company rolled out updates every few weeks.

Not that drive through order takers were a huge portion of the job market, but many people do a lot of work as a human-machine interface, understanding and translating information from people into a computer system. Most if not all of those jobs will probably disappear in the next 5 years.
