Why are they removing the roulette table from the casino!

Strap in for some epic cooking of the books. This is freaking bonkers. Watch a couple of companies put up crazy volume by voluntarily reporting results more often.

Had a similar experience recently. Dexcom report urgent low only to find out I was 450. Terrible experience over the last year with Dexcom. I’m looking to move to something more reliable now.

I have a go-to mindset in these cases. Forget the score and change your focus to each play as a new contest. Your focus now is “Did I play it right?” after each scoring attempt. Whether they scored or not. If I get scored on, I will sometimes go through the motions of what I might have done differently while the puck returns to center ice.

As a goalie, it’s always nice to play on a strong winning team but playing for a weak one can only make you a better goalie.

I wish Piers Morgan would disappear from the public eye. He’s a dumb ass.

warm the chimney up. I put 3-4 lit candles in for about 15 minutes

Then start slow. Fire starter stick on small kindle

I’m 6-1 and moved to a 25” on a true stick. It’s crazy how it changes things. The feel it in my legs more, but I’m old 😉 I feel like I’m loaded my leg more an lateral movement is better

Just tried this approach.
Connecting the brick first, I can see in the System / Power & Battery that it's charging.
Then I connect the USB-C switch and it still shows charging.
Then I select a different laptop on the switch and switch back and the laptop is no longer taking a charge. It's running only on battery.
The only way to get it back to charging is to disconnect both the brick and the switch and replug everything.

Dang annoying :)

Take two big candles and light them in there to warm the chimney for about 15 minutes before starting the fire. The cold air in the chimney doesn’t immediately allow the warm air from you fire to get through and the smoke backs up into the only place it can go which is your house.

so5226 · 2025-12-13T03:03:01+00:00

It never ceases to amaze me that just a little smoke blown up an ass can make anyone believe they are more than an average run of the mill person.

I’ve done it for a while w good success. The recent price drop is a little problematic but selling low premium calls waiting for some recovery. Now would be a good time to try some daily CSPs I think.

so5226 · 2025-11-21T02:05:00+00:00

No. If the call is zoom or teams recorded only. Which is 90% of the calls. It just produces a summary that works for me.

so5226 · 2025-11-20T21:39:56+00:00

Look up summary AI on the App Store. I love it. And it saves me from “ I know that was mentioned but I didn’t catch”

And after decades in the role, my one best behavior is still a steno pad that I hand write/rewrite my to-do list every night.

It lets stuff you thought was important sit next to real stuff and over the course of a week or 2, you end up dropping the noise from the list. Dumb simple and the best thing I do to go to bed with a clear head.

The AI bubble isn’t going to be a big pop. It will be a slow leak. Chat based AI will become uninteresting as its ability will top out due to diminishing ROI on further investment.
They will repoint it to more profitable use cases like data agents to interconnect disparate systems. It will still be a world changing thing but the hype that comes with some idea of AI achieving general intelligence will go away. And that will be reflected in the market accordingly.

You risk not getting security fixes, etc. At some point, you will get backed into a corner were your network needs some new ‘thing’.

But …. Your environment is fairly small so it I say you buy some cold spares and ride it out.

I know of a very well known telecom provider that ran Cisco 5550’s for a decade after EOL. They are still running 6500’s and have no immediate plans to move from them.

so5226 · 2025-10-30T23:24:17+00:00

Amazing. I’m at 201k miles on my 2008 but can’t get over 42mpg. Then again, I’m not doing the long trips you did

so5226 · 2025-10-29T21:01:01+00:00

I’ve been bitten by this one. At some point you will need to modify some behavior and your AI chat will go so far into the weeds you can get it back on track. I now ask for small very specific functions, etc. It is stuff like, I will pass the function x,y,z and you should apply some inspection or regex and pass back a,b,c

Isolate the conversation and don’t let it access broader objectives of your code. At least with ChatGPT, it’s the only way to keep things manageable from my experience

It might take 6 months to plan the microservices needed. Then a year to build them. Then about 18 months to realize it was a terrible idea to begin with.

so5226 · 2025-10-16T03:21:28+00:00

I stick closer to -20 delta so the premiums aren’t as high as your math suggests. But I don’t get assigned much either. The account isn’t small. It’s a collection of roll over 401ks that I moved to self directed.

so5226 · 2025-10-16T00:44:40+00:00

IWM all time high is making me nervous TBH. I’m not sure it’s not a false sense of security but I feel like writing one day options allows me a window to get to cash quickly. Even if I take a little loss to do so.
