I love data, but I stopped to think about what I would actually do with the data Whoop provides. I wouldn't use Whoops workout recommendations, I wouldn't alter my training plans much off their derived metrics. I decided a far simpler watch with heart rate monitor and zone would be plenty. A monthly subscription and the amount of data shared with them were also strong disincentives. I don't need yet another company tracking me and selling my details off to who knows who.

Well. That's an interesting entry into film acting. I wish her the best but I think that's a steep uphill battle.

reported on by several news outlets, which is prediction markets are accurate for predicting events.

Is this a function of your algorithm and mine? I'm skeptical and all my news sources align with that, I get little if any content pushing for polymarket et al in a positive manner.

I just wish I could find an RSS feed of it.

I skimmed the wikipedia articles for both hard and soft scifi, specifically the representative works sections. Both list Jack Vance's The Languages of Pao. And that pretty much covers my inability to differentiate between hard and soft and par-boiled, stir-fried, fluffy sci-fi.

This dude's giving "chud" at best. I can think of worse names.

Sources needed. Smells like misinformation.

A couple episodes of Burbs. I saw it advertised while waiting for the Bad Bunny show. It's lightweight fun. I dig Keke Palmer.

Blue collar and skilled aren't mutually exclusive terms.

It's skilled or unskilled (takes advanced training or not)

And blue collar or white collar (manual labor or office/desk work)

E.g., a welder is both skilled and blue collar

It was before Trump ran the first time, but my folks were precursor to MAGA. I was not. I didn't like having to sit and listen to their hateful opinions of people not like them. So once I had an education and job that made me fully financially independent, I left.

Iron Lung (2026) by Markiplier (filmdb.landmarkcinemas.com)
 

The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only those aboard space stations or starships were left to witness the universe dim, giving the end a name: The Quiet Rapture. Now, humanity decays in the rusting halls of crumbling stations, scavenging barren moons by the ghost light of long-vanished stars. But one moon stands apart. In the darkness of the void, a scanner detects an impossibility: an ocean of blood. In a desperate bid for survival, the last remnants of humanity craft a crude submarine to explore the bleeding depths. They weld one soul inside to pilot it. But as the hatch is sealed, the terrifying reality sets in. Hope in this void is as illusionary as the starlight. This is not an expedition. This is an execution.

Written, produced, acted in by game streamer Markiplier

Indie film inspired by an indie cosmic horror game

<$3 million budget, self-funded release in over 2,000 theaters

 

Have you had one? If so, did the medical professional conducting the challenge stay with you the whole time?

I had one years ago. The person administering the challenge put me in a glass chamber, explained the amount of methacholine would increase until it induced an asthma attack and that how much methacholine it took would determine whether I have asthma or not, then left the room for 10-15 minutes. Looking back now, it seems wild that one would leave when trying to give a person an asthma account. What if I had asthma and was stuck without help for 10+ minutes?

Curious what others have experienced, whether they were left to deal with a possible asthma attack alone or if they were monitored?

Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

 

Also New York and Missouri

Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem's limit, the company will deny paying for it.

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
