Has anyone experienced or is anyone aware of a documented adverse event from taking BPC157 (that was obtained from gray market or compounding pharmacy sources)? If so, please let me know.

@elonmusk when using grok on mobile, it does not scroll to the bottom of the text when answering. When using on desktop on web it does. So the user has to scroll up to the beginning of the answer every time. This is not a great user experience.

I'm sitting outside of the dollar store in the parking lot. Super busy. 100 percent of people held the door open for others when they were walking in.

@bryan_johnson did you do Jubilee before or after mushrooms?

@theseoguy_ @bladezandshadez Are you using a third party pre rendering service? I have never seen Google be able to crawl these sites and understand then. Very interested to see what you are doing differently.

@bladezandshadez I have personal injury lawyer clients ranking well in major metros with lovable sites

Here's how to build an SEO optimized website for $25 using AI: Find a competitor in another market whose website you love. (If you are a dentist in California, find a dental site you love in Florida) Create a paid Lovable account Start a new prompt and say the following "I really love the general look and feel of this following website. Can you scan it so you can understand it better?" It will spit back some random facts about the website at you. Hit them with this prompt: "You are going to build a website for me. My name is xyz. I own xyz Dental Practice. Here is our full name: xyz. Here is our full address: xyz. Here is our phone number: xyz. Here are our operating hours: xyz. Please model my website after the one that I just had you scan. Please do not copy it directly, I do not want to plagiarize, but use the general look and feel. Please make it a one page website to start. Build it to convert. Include clear call to actions and strategically place forms throughout the site. Utilize SEO best practices, including optimizing my H1, H2, and H3 tags with relevant keywords and the location that I am in" Let it cook. It will make mistakes. Just ask it what you would like to correct and it normally does it just fine. I also have found it be getting increasingly better at design. Ask it to build an about page. Upload photos of the practice and of the team when you prompt it. It seems to know how to format this well. The subpages you should ask it to build are all of the services you offer. General Dentistry Kids Dentistry Veneers Implants Invisalign etc All of the H1 tags should be "Service + Location" Premier Dentists in Santa Clarita Professional Veneers in Waco Top Dental Implants in Madison It has become incredibly user friendly in the last few months of testing. If you do not like something design wise, just ask it to fix it. It normally can take care of it within one or two tries. If you learn how to prompt it correctly, you can start building full websites in an hour. Sometimes I like to have claude open side by side with it. I tell Claude exactly what I am doing with lovable, and I ask claude to give me the top 15 most important on-page ranking factors. Then I prompt lovable to execute on the list, but I only give it one set of instructions at a time. Congrats. You just saved a lot of money.

@Qullamaggie @bbigtp Bought on 10/9*

@Qullamaggie @bbigtp I bought on 10/8 got stopped out same day. Bought Break of previous day high. Am I cooked as a trader.

Air coming in

@TedHZhang @Qullamaggie @iszmeister_ Just came here to ask this same question.

@Qullamaggie @iszmeister_ I assumed you bought over the previous high of the day yesterday. Even that was a 15% stop LOD. The stock has an ATR of 35% so tha tmakes it reasonable but does that mean you sized small?

One could argue the setups I posted are just laggards and will fail, which could be the case. On July 17th I passed on the $ALAB perfect base breakout with higher lows because it had gone nowhere while peers ($CRDO) and $QQQ had ripping for months. Not gonna try to outsmart a good setup again.

@Qullamaggie *I purchased on the break of $97.00 HOD of 6/17.

@Qullamaggie Struggling trader feedback request: I bought $ALAB on 6/18. Got Stopped out. Thoughts?

@alexberger_me Does bolt render websites client side or server side?

x.com/boltdotnew/sta… Today is the day to cancel your Lovable/Replit subscription: vibe coding has officially entered its professional era with Bolt v2 🍾 We've taken the best AI coding agents in the world and given them direct control over the backend: Introducing Bolt v2👇🏻 Vibe coding tools like Lovable and Replit promise anyone can build software but when projects grow in complexity, builders often get stuck 80% of the way to their vision, largely reducing these products to ‘fun toys’ (unacceptable!) Meanwhile, professional developers are using state-of-the-art agents like Claude Code and Codex CLI, created with $35B+ in investment from the frontier AI labs. Until now, accessing these professional tools required a terminal, local dev environment setup, and manual backend configuration making them inaccessible to most product teams, founders, and agencies. So we asked the team: what if we take the professional AI agents that developers use, give them the ability to self-configure enterprise-grade backends, and bring it all into our familiar and easy to use visual interface? …and, with a little help from our friends at Anthropic, Netlify, and Supabase, that’s exactly what we did! The result is Bolt v2: a massive leap forward in capabilities, reliability and ease of use for professionals. The results from early testing have been incredible: - 98% fewer errors vs Lovable and Replit - Capable of 1,000x larger projects - Backend infrastructure auto-configures as you build This isn't Lovable’s homerolled agent that traps you in error loops or Replit's expensive proprietary backend infrastructure. This is the state-of-the-art professional tool stack, accessible for the first time to product teams & builders who don't want or need to become backend engineering experts. Go give it a try now, I can’t wait to hear what you think!

@antonosika SEO?

Next week we’re launching something highly requested that’s been the Lovable team’s main focus for months. Stay tuned!

The handle @m0ldilocks is absolutely hilarious. I'm in NY and want to get tested will there ever be a time it is offered in NY?

@mhp_guy Good luck with this genuinely want it to work out for you. Very interested in the follow ups.

We got quoted $124k to finish out our 900 sqft walk up attic. It’s a fair price for what we want, from a general contractor friend I trust. We’re instead using ChatGPT to coach us and sub out all the work ourselves. The subs we’ve chosen have us at about $67k for the same work. Here’s the problem with cost+ agreements: The general contractor isn’t incentivized to quote out each job from 5-15 guys to get the best price. He just needs a decent sub, and then he marks that up 20%. So it’s a double whammy. You pay inflated subs’ cost plus 20%. I told my friend beforehand I might go this route btw. The rough plumbing went in this week. I’m sure we’ll go over budget, but that’s to be expected. There’s a big gap between 67k and 124k. We’re also paying another 3rd party to inspect every stage along the way. Please leave some negative comments below to put a chip on my shoulder to ensure this project goes perfectly. I’ll return and report.

@JackHeald5 Thanks for the thorough answer. I'll be sure to dm you.

@_MichaelCrosby wanted to know why I say PE sucks the soul out of companies. Here ya go: ============ Private Equity & Why It Sucks the Life Out of Home Services Companies TL;DR - Private Equity does NOT buy Home Services companies for the purpose of making money in Home Services. Private Equity makes money in the Home Services industry by buying companies at a discount - without using any of their own money - and then turning around and selling those companies at a higher valuation and smaller discount in a fixed time period; typically 5 to 7 years. How PE Really Works The ideal target company will be profitable, debt free and fully owned by the founder. + PE negotiates a buyout price with the owner. + Typically, the owner agrees to take a fraction of the buyout price up front, and the balance of the buyout price at specified time in the future. + PE links payment of the balance of the buyout price to meeting future performance goals. ++ NOTE: The performance goals are seldom met. + PE gets a bank loan for the amount needed to execute the buyout, not the entire agreed-upon purchase price. + Since the original owner agreed to receive a fraction of the total purchase price at the sale, the PE company only needs to provide that fraction of the purchase price to execute the sale. (See the example below for details.) + PE takes control of the company and services the loan debt from company cash flow. ++ PE’s goal is keep the company profitable enough on paper to sell it at a slight profit once the loan becomes due. + PE sells the company - often to another PE company - pays off the note and walks away with whatever money is leftover. + Lather, rinse, repeat. EXAMPLE 1. Buyer and Seller agree to a value of $50mm. 2. The Seller agrees to take half the purchase price - $25mm - at the time of sale, and the balance of the purchase price at an agreed upon time in the future, typically 5 to 7 years after the original sale. 3. Payment of the balance is typically tied to performance goals. The old owner assumes these goals will be met. ++ NOTE: The performance goals are seldom met after the acquisition. PE has little incentive to meet the performance goals because they pay no penalty for not meeting them. ++ This is not as painful for the old owner as you might assume because he has already been paid life-changing money. ++ You will seldom see an old owner do anything to get the rest of the balance because PE is masterful at structuring the terms of the deal. - In this example, the PE company needs to come up with $25mm to purchase a $50mm company. - Most bankers are thrilled to make such a loan. Since the bank gets the mortgage on a $50mm company for half that amount, it’s a no-brainer for the banks. - Since the loan amount is half the valuation of the company, the company being acquired is used as collateral for the loan. — The loan term is typically 5 to 7 years. - The original owner gets - what is to him - a life-changing amount of money and the promise of that much more to come if performance goals are met by the end of the loan period. - The new owners gain control of a profitable company with none of their own money at risk. All they invest is the time and effort required to structure and sell the deal. — (COMMENT: It’s high irony that the phrase “private equity” is used to describe these companies, since they almost never put any of their own money at risk.) After the Sale The newly acquired company loses the owner who built it - and his values. + Companies get their values from their owners. Once the old owner is gone, company culture devolves to the values of the new ownership: Private Equity. + PE is typically dominated by Spreadsheet Warriors and accountants. While it sounds good in theory, in practice this means the new owners come in and start slashing whatever costs their financial models deem “unessential.” These costs are typically the kinds of programs that made the company special. + Under the reign of the Spreadsheet Warriors, the company loses the character and values that made it unique. + Since PE didn’t buy the business for the purpose of building a great Home Services company, then the newly acquired company takes on the values of the PE company - profit above all else. + PE’s goal is to sell the company at a profit. Therefore, priorities turn to slashing costs and maximizing margins. This leads to predictable changes in behavior. The company becomes just another generic Home Services company with Generic Quality, Generic Pricing and Generic Service. + The company now carries significant debt, and the clock is running on the loan. + PE services the loan debt from company cash flow. Their goal is keep the company profitable enough on paper so they can sell it for enough money to pay off the loan when it becomes due. Whatever money they get over the loan payment is money in their pocket. +Remember, if they hit the performance goals, then the prior owner gets the rest of his check. If they don’t, then he doesn’t. It’s not unusual for the purchase agreement to be structured in such a way that PE is incentivized to fail to hit the performance goals. + At the end of the loan period, PE sells the company, pays off the loan, and keeps whatever money is left. =========== I’ll send you a pdf of the document if share your email with me in DM.

@JackHeald5 I was just reading about you on a reddit post then I see this. What does PE destroy in these home service businesses? Trust?

Almost without exception, (almost), PE companies destroy the one thing that makes a home services company special. I don’t fault founders for selling out. Who would turn down generational wealth? But the acquired companies - as a rule - lose their soul. I just gained a ton of respect for Nextstar.
