I will do you 1 better (not like that is the point) but something that really messed with my mind. I had several labs done at exact same time, same lab but 1 script from 1 doc and another from a different doc. One was a functional med dr the other just regular MD- so there was overlap on several of the tests. There were disparities on 7 tests. 2 of them were slight and 5 of them were way to wide for my liking. For example 0.2 differential on a1c, 2 pts different on insulin and 16 pts different on total cholesterol-

@Joaquinphil2421 very classy post for anyone, no less a kid your age. You have maturity and heart that will lead you to great places.

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

not 100% but you and others maybe feel tired b/c the body may not be getting the nutrition it needs and/or if you workout hard but are restricting calories, that can and will leave someone tired. I know that when I used a GLP-1 and was still working out like I was an athlete i had NO energy- b/c I could not eat more than 1200-1500 calories and feel good.

@J_Schultzel_ met you briefly in tent in endzone at the Stony game with your Dad (who I played with for a year) Your Dad was a stud athlete and from what I have seen on film (in both sports) you will be better! Not a knock on John but a super compliment to you- Great choice, congratulations!

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

@ScottRiBishop @CoachDanGo yeah this really sux if true- zero chance to ever get it already refrigerated from the start so we are taking sh*t that will contribute negatively when it is supposed to be one of the key supps to take? I am highly upset about this.

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

i wonder how many other "wellness and health" products are illegal for people under 21? I am not anti weed, far from it and I would rather do battle on the highway against someone high on a sativa than fresh off 10 beers, but many real negative issues with cannabis to go along with the many positive things.

Market participants can argue about valuations, justifications for them, AI, "new era" "it is different this time" and many things similar until they are blue in the face- It does not take a genius to figure out that the equity markets are extended. As we know, this can last for a very long time, much longer than people think. "It does not matter until it does" etc. I keep seeing comparisons to 1999 and various charts either trying to prove that this is worse, similar or not even close and the not even close crowd of course is using it to justify that we are in like inning 3. Nobody knows what will happen and when it will-

But one thing that I think is sort of something nobody can deny is the flat out lack of understanding of risk in this current climate. At least in the late 90's it was really just stocks, but now we have Crypto, The Equity market, Prediction markets, gambling, and within the equity market some single name moves are astonishing. The one thing that has never really been able to be quantified in markets is the thing that actually moves them the most- human psychology. We have PE ratios and moving averages and all sorts of technical and fundamental stuff we can look at but in the history of markets we cannot quantify human psychology. One day things are fine, the next day they are not. The VIX is not a real measure of human psychology although it may be at least the closest thing we have.

Do people remember the start of covid? I remember watching CNBC in mid to late February and the S&P had just made an all time high yet we were watching thousands of people dying in Asia and Europe on TV. I recall thinking how weird it was to hear them say "using a makeshift morgue in the street" as I watched the S&P barely off its all time high. 1 month later the S&P was down almost 35%. What changed? Did we think Covid would not come here? It would not matter? Did we not understand how it would affect business? Or was it psychology that changed?

I do not know shit about AI really- Do not really care. It could be AI, cleaner water, you name it, if it is "new" and matters, a thesis will be made that it will "change the world" then you can bet Wall Street will over hype it and the investing public will create buying panic which creates a fear of missing, it will make smart people who know "it is NEVER different this time" start to question themselves. I think this current climate just from my own personal experience trumps the late 90's (no pun intended) and anything in between by far in terms of speculation. While 1999 was pretty bad, it seems more broad now. I mean, "well they are comparing it to 1999 so that means it CANT be the top which means buy buy buy"- It is a total mind f*ck-

Some of this at some point just becomes pure gut feel- sure some of the super bulled up people actually believe what they are saying but this is NOT a healthy stock market-or financial markets for that matter. The lack of respect for risk is real and it feels like it will be dealt with soon. Forget all the "the last time this happened was 1987" or "The Buffet mkt cap / GDP" crap- it matters I guess but what really matters is what you see and anyone who sees anything but wild chasing and speculation is just chugging the kool aid rather than sipping it. Some parties end at midnight, others at 6 am-I think I can see the sun about to rise.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

@loudibella @raul_138 @JeffBezos we have a spend problem not a revenue problem- ALL administrations both sides the aisle. The tax the rich BS makes no sense- it would be like a compulsive gambler who makes 100k a year betting $500 a game- then he makes 500k a year he just bets more- Govt will still be strapped

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

@CarlBrandt1495 @loudibella @JeffBezos people who seem to detest all mega wealthy people forget how philanthropic most of them are-not all but a lot of them- Bezos will end up giving away the vast majority of his wealth to worthy causes and charities- As do most of them- better spent than in Washington's hands.

@AlderLaneEggs @timmythetiger very kind of you- thx MC

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

hey @AlderLaneEggs what is the derby guys name again? tried to search your posts and could not find.

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

@loudibella @Sean_Zittel @Claressashields but in my mind was like "damn her body is absolutely a chiseled rock"-

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

@loudibella @Sean_Zittel @Claressashields got it- I mis read- thought you were implying anyone who saw last 5 fights would have to think NOT clean- but that is indeed not what you said and it would make no sense anyway- my bad. The irony here is that I did not even know about the failed test until before this fight

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

@loudibella @Sean_Zittel @Claressashields @loudibella what do you mean by "if she is clean"?? what I think you mean?

[Doug Gillespie @DUGHAWKS]

long thread here but many people can either relate or learn something from this- and it is all true..

[CA Vivek Khatri @CaVivekkhatri]

His name was Jesse Livermore.

At 14, he had $5.
At 28, he had $3 million.
At 40, he had $100 million.

At 63, he walked into a hotel bathroom and shot himself.

His suicide note had one line that will haunt you forever.
