I believe there was also a study, maybe 10 years back, showing that a significant portion of those “euthanized” were not informed or given an option to opt out...
No, I was usually wearing a polo shirt with the star of life on it — I was a medic, not a devil-worshipping rapper lol
Just saying, whoever was medical incident command would have selected the terms unless it was SOP somewhere.
Smurf is a common EMS slang for “respiratory arrest”. We also usually assumed most respiratory arrests at a large concert were self inflicted ODs.
EMS people have an odd sense of humor.
This would be fairly normal. As a medic we came up with our own terms at big incidents because it was disruptive to talk about topics normally while maneuvering through crowds.
A “smurf” was a common street term for respiratory arrest due to cyanosis causing a bluish pallor. If they were smurfy enough they were CTD or DRT (circling the drain or dead right there). We also weren’t supposed to leave bodies around where people could trip on them either.
Evidently they’re not good with policing either. Begs the question, are social workers useful for anything beyond being enforcers for tyrants?
Why aren’t they using social workers?
So... homemade laundry detergent? I usually grate up some dial soap in mine lol
I suspect candy goes over particularly well when the other option is getting suplexed by a marine lol.
My approach is similar. I mention that I was a critical care medic for a decade before I started working with lawyers, would like to review the chart/labs, and am polite and complimentary lol.
Yeah, and it fucking sucks to move it lol.
If they do a 2:1 split at $80/share and you have 200 shares, you would likely end up with 400 shares worth $40/share so essentially a wash.
The lower per-share price tends to drive demand and values higher over the next year or so. In my opinion I’d be thrilled with a stock split post merger.
For regular shares (not warrants, not sure about DWACU), if the merger fails to go through you will be compensated $10/share (the initial offering price). You’d lose any spent money over the $10 mark though.
I sold 20 shares (10%) at $175 (lucky sell order triggered during a 13 second window between halts) to cover my initial investment. Sold 20 more at $150 and bought back 40 at $70. If there is a spike tomorrow I may pounce and buy the next dip.
Might be retiring after the inauguration lol
Of the four boxes I have control over two after being silenced on the soap box and not having access to the jury box. I’ll keep hitting the ballot box until I have no other option but the last box.
Yep, ~200 shares and about ~200 warrants here that I’m holding after already covering my initial investment.
I’m a Hodler as well. $12.99 and initial investment covered at the peak. Only thing I’m going to do is buy more.
Or buy DWAC and it will be converted to TMTG at the time of the merger.
Yep, this is why my first buy was regular shares at $12.99. I sold a bit at $175 to cover my investment so I can’t lose money at this point. Now I’m buying warrants for long term and holding the vast bulk of my regular shares.
DWACW are warrants (think stock options). You can spend $11.50 to turn a warrant into a share after the merger goes through. So, say you paid $30 for the warrant... $30 + $11.50 = $41.50 share. If the stock is $200, that leaves you a $148.50 profit. If the share price is under your cost you don’t need to exercise the option. I think you have 5 years from the date of merger.
I have have a mix of shares and warrants (and if I buy more it will be warrants most likely because they’ve been the better deal (I have a standing buy order for another 100 warrants if they drop below $25 again).
I jumped in early ($12.99) and sold enough at $175 to cover my initial investment. I can’t lose money even if it drops to zero, so I’m riding this thing right through the inauguration.
Is this beyond Weingarten rights?
Just saw this. Holy carp, hodl!
Calories are calories, but you need fats and proteins to keep your body going. Especially in cold climates, fats are fundamentally necessary (your body generates internal heat to break them down — when I used to backpack in the mountains in winter my food was 50% fats and 50% carbs, with the fats consumed right before bed with hot water - it was the difference between sleeping comfortably or freezing to death).
Thankfully carbs are really cheap and easy - a 50lb bag or rice is like, $25 at a warehouse club, and you can get pasta for about $0.75/lb there too. If just starting out I’d get a 50lb bag of rice, 25-50lbs of pasta and then focus on a variety of canned or frozen meats, beans (canned and dry for ease of use vs when you have time to soak the day before). Also things like chunky soup (concentrate on the highest calorie non-cream soups), chef boyardi, chili, retried beans, baked beans, etc are effective ways of getting a bunch of fats and proteins. Also protein powder, shelf-stable milk and drink mixes, spices, oils, etc.
I’d caution you to prioritize things you eat regularly now or could imagine eating frequently, since you need to cycle through them to have it be of any value, just restock as it is available.
A handy trick is just buy 2 or 3 more than you need when you shop, and pick up a couple of replacements when you think of something running low and it adds up pretty quickly. Also helps make sure you’re only buying stuff you actually will use.
I’m probably at about 9 months for staples without rationing (I have a lot of proteins like canned meats, beans, etc) and even more for dry goods with indefinite shelf lives. I’m probably not going to need much as far as toiletries for the next 5 years either.
The thing is, I’m not really anticipating a zombie apocalypse, but I am expecting prices to rise faster than income for a couple of years, and getting stuff now means that the actual costs relative to inflated prices are much lower than I actually paid. Stagflation is a really weird and rare condition for a market, since it really needs stupidity on a truly historical scale.
It’s worth doing some reading on the 70s stagflation in the US and the similar period in the UK in (I think) the 20s.
Shit, only two hallucinogens I ever did were LSD and shrooms. Bad Trip, chased by a fire breathing dragon (sparking wheel toy) up several flights of stairs (in a single floor building) into a room full of skeletons (people wearing adidas while dancing), where I drowned in the music waves before puking out my internal organs.
Last rave I ever went to, and it was years before I could look at tile grout without slipping back into hallucinations because of the depth perception.
Stick to the occasional beer and lots of coffee these days.
