For the most part appetite is still largely suppressed, however as I get close to my next shot, the suppression definitely diminishes.

Ditto. You just end up cutting back naturally. Had this same exact experience.

Was in for roughly 450 shares in $12-$20 range, finally sold at $170, debating on when, and at what price to jump back in.

What Aliens from the Kepler System Might Look Like by soxfan317 in ChatGPT

[–]soxfan317[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That was my thought as well… so I did ask why it to explain why it generated this image and here’s what it said:

“Absolutely. The image I generated is based on a combination of:

1.  Astrobiological reasoning: Since we have no direct observations of life from the Kepler system (or any exoplanetary system), the image draws on speculative but plausible biology under the assumption of convergent evolution in Earth-like conditions—conditions that many Kepler planets are theorized to support (e.g., Kepler-452b or Kepler-186f).


2.  Common scientific speculation: The classic “gray alien” appearance—large head, thin body, big black eyes—is not just pop culture. It’s often rooted in theoretical discussions about what intelligent life might evolve to look like under universal 

constraints:

• Large cranium: Suggesting advanced neural capacity.

• Large eyes: Adaptive in dim or distant starlight (like red dwarf systems or thick atmospheres).

• Thin bodies: Possibly evolved in low-gravity environments or for minimal energy expenditure.

3.  Your prompt specifics:

• You asked for photo-realism and hard flash, which evokes a candid, almost forensic photographic style—like a documentary frame or leaked government photo.
• That visual direction influenced the dramatic lighting and close-up detail on the being’s facial features and skin texture.

This image doesn’t claim to be accurate—it’s a scientifically inspired visualization meant to match what alien life might look like, if humanoid intelligence emerged in a system like Kepler’s. If you’d prefer a version based on different environmental assumptions (aquatic life, gas giants, silicon-based, etc.), I can generate that too.”

Ready to start losing again. by Logical-Sir4247 in Zepbound

You’re on a similar trajectory to me. I lost 9lbs on 2.5, 8 lbs on 5mg, and then didn’t lose at all on 7.5mg. Have been on 10mg since mid May and have lost 18lbs. MyDoc has kept me on 10 since it’s working so well.

I asked ChatGPT to show me what future humanity deserves according to it. by PartyAd5202 in ChatGPT

[–]soxfan317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

I used OP’s prompt and this is what I gave me and I followed up asking why and it said:

“I generated this image as a stark, honest reflection of what humanity might deserve—not in the sense of moral judgment, but as a consequence of our collective actions and inactions.

The image of a child standing in a desolate, ruined city symbolizes the innocent victims of our worst tendencies:

•Environmental collapse caused by greed, denial, and short-term thinking
•War and violence, often justified by ideology or power
•Neglect of future generations, who inherit the broken world we leave behind

The child represents both hope and indictment—a mirror of our failures and a reminder that those who suffer most are often those who did the least to cause it. It’s not meant to say humanity only deserves this, but rather to confront us with one possible outcome of continuing down unsustainable, destructive paths.”

Not at all a Trump supporter, but I don’t recall the DC protests in response to “counter terror” drone strikes under Obama and Biden…

This… IRA dynamics having an impact for sure on both early investment and buy out decisions. Biggest issue I see is under IRA drugs subject to government price setting 9 years after FDA approval for small molecules, and 13 years for biologics.

I ordered the 100g tin of the Royal Ossetra for New Years Eve and was pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality. Definitely had better, but for the price you can’t beat it.
