@BrianSuttererMD Don’t want to have the connectivity/notifications that apple watches have. Less is more, so Whoop gives me what I want, with nothing I don’t want.

I tried whoop for a couple weeks and couldn’t see any difference between the data my Apple Watch was giving me (for no added cost) using tools like Bevel/Athlytic.
Can anyone who swears by whoop tell me how the monthly fee has made a better impact on your health than just your standard wearable tracker like Apple Watch/garmin etc? At least Oura ring is an entirely different form factor 🧐
Am I missing something impactful here or is it just personal preference of what a consumer wants to wear?

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round. But it also represents our push into broader health. In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

Owning a home is so much better than renting no matter what the investment gurus on this app tell you.
I’d rather spend tens of thousands more on the house I own and get to raise my kids in versus fixate on the ROI of renting

Delta has already offered $30,000 with no strings attached (doesn't affect rights to get more) to the passengers on the crash landing / upside down flight.
If you were not physically injured- what kind of money would you expect to get if you were a passenger? Why?

@Gabepluguez Which cities have the opposite demographics, low poverty, high activity levels etc?
English
• Poverty is high
• Obesity is high
• Activity levels are low
You’re putting yourself in a situation that makes your life worse and worse every year.
Just like how the rich get richer…
The fat get fatter.

A mortgage payment doesn't go up for 30 years.
My parents still pay $420 a mo on a 200 acre farm + house they bought in 1998.
Rent goes up 5%+ per year. Compound that over 30 years and its 4.5x higher.
People who argue that renting is better are simply wrong.

@michaelThill23 @OlgunUluc @Steve_Koura I’d agree. We don’t get any NBL coverage over here so had to google some of the names picked over Thybulle to see who they were. 🇫🇷 having 1,2 in the draft, plus Wemby and gobert will be tough too.

One time, I had the business idea for "Vice-Mart."
A superstore for everything highly controlled.
You'd sell every vice at a discount (liquor, beer, tobacco, adult stuff, etc.) and throw in fireworks, too.
QUIZ: Why didn't I pursue it?
