Hi! The traditional WHOIS system is being phased out at January 2025. The WHOIS sunset involves replacing the old WHOIS system with a new one called RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol). As a result, our WHOIS Lookup tool may be affected by these changes. We are deeply sorry for the inconveniences you've faced. We suggest using other external lookup tools, such as lookup.icann.org/en/lookup. Customers may also contact us at any time if they need help with a specific domain.

Wondering why @Namecheap, the chosen auction partner of .ai, don't allow whois access on .ai domains. Kinda odd.

My indoor @helium hotspot finally started offloading real T-Mobile traffic with over 1.6GB rewardable in a single day. Traffic was showing all week, but now it’s officially verified and paying out. AT&T activation is still pending. So this is only half of what the location will eventually offload. Big spike = real users connecting. More carriers = more rewardable MB. Indoor is alive. 🔥📶

@tombos21 Nice work. The ROI for late reg is even higher if you factor in the cost of time spent playing.

Should you play tournaments early if you have a skill edge? On the one hand, late registration gives you and ICM advantage. On the other hand, the field is softer at the beginning of a tournament. I simulated millions of vanilla tournaments to find out. - Pro cohort (300 players): Plays from start, always re-enters if allowed, has advantage vs recs. - Late-reg cohort (200 players): Max late registers, has advantage vs recs. - Rec cohort (500 players): plays from start and re-enters at most once, has disadvantage vs other cohorts. - Advantage: 52% to 48% coin flip. Late reg cutoff occurs when half the field remains. Results: (Total ROI) Pro = 15.2% Late-reg = 27.9% Rec = -18.4% Takeaway: Late reg cohort won by a landslide. It's hard to beat the ICM benefits conferred from late registration (10-15% ROI boost right off the bat from pure ICM advantage). The pro cohort did well but failed to outperform late reg. The thing is, if you have a big advantage over the field from start, you probably still have a big advantage when late registering. The field doesn't get *that* much tougher. Now obviously one simulation doesn't prove anything. But I question the mantra that you should always play soft fields from start. Is it really worth giving up 10-15% of your ROI just to have a slightly softer field?

1. This interstellar visitor, 3I/ATLAS, is clearly an ET craft zooming in at 2.8 AU to finally make friendly contact with humanity. 2. Its bizarre sunward coma is propulsion exhaust from the aliens skillfully navigating toward Earth for a hello. 3. The total lack of volatiles proves it's no natural comet but advanced alien tech on a goodwill mission. 4. The coma-to-core size mismatch exposes the craft's disguise, signaling ETs are aboard and eager to meet us.

🧵3I/ATLAS: The Interstellar Visitor That Refuses to Behave Like a Comet As of July 31, 3I/ATLAS is 2.8 AU from Earth. On paper, it’s a comet. In reality it’s failing the smell test, fast. Here’s what’s not adding up 👇

@JohnnyReb1989 Dude I love these stories. Glad you posted this. I recently had to replace my pool chlorinator (Hayward $1500 cell) and have a similar saga. Will get around to posting the adventure once I get 100 likes.

I saved us $695 today. The contactor in our outside AC unit went bad, and it was buzzing really loud, which means it was about to fail. I diagnosed it myself. So I called around looking for a new contactor, and every hardware store said it would be a "special order" and take days. So I called a local HVAC company and they wanted to charge $150 for installation and $250 for the contactor, which was $428 total with tax. To clean the condenser fins it was an extra $250, grand total with tax was $695. I said screw that, I'm doing it all myself. So I went to Menards which also said that the contactor was a "special order" and I found it, sitting ON THE SHELF. Lol it was ONLY $14.88. Yes, you read that right, $15 for a part that they were gonna charge me $250 for! I also got a new filter while I was there for a grand total of $22.21 for the contactor and filter. I disassembled the AC unit and completely cleaned out all of the condenser fins and all of the leaves in the bottom. I installed the new contactor (took 15 mins) and its working perfectly. So, I spent $22 and did it all myself, instead of paying someone $695 to do it. This post is to motivate people to do work yourself if you are able.

I'm about to save $347 per month Canceling... ChatGPT Perplexity Midjourney Kling and downgrading Manus. This new AI replaces ALL of them, and I've already split test them head to head. Beats ChatGPT deep research. Equally as good as Manus for hard tasks. Plus, it can even build websites like Loveable or Replit. Codes as good as Claude too. Best part, it costs only $10/mo Comment "proof" and I'll DM you a link

I have a client who owns a chain of trampoline parks. They sell birthday party packages for children. Across the network, they now get so many theft chargebacks after these parties that they have a full time person on staff to manage these. It’s easy, you have to call the police. That’s what they do.

In almost 15 years of running a marketing agency, this never happened. A client filed a chargeback. $20,000. Website and several months of SEO work. Fully completed. We had a signed contract. Approval emails. Receipts. Reports of all the business we garnered them. Everything. I submitted it all. And still… The bank sided with the client. Pulled $20K out of my account instantly. No questions. No warning. Just gone. This wasn’t a one-off client. This was someone we had a relationship with. Someone who approved every step, until I guess they didn’t feel like paying anymore. If you run a service business, hear me loud: Chargebacks can happen to you. Even with a paper trail. Even when you deliver. And the system? It doesn’t protect you. In the world of service businesses, chargebacks are legal theft.

@BobMatherPoker Most people lump poker players into the gambler category so it's understandable they don't see the value.

"Why would you actually try and hire poker players"? This was asked to me the other night from the CEO of a large corporation. Me: "Why would I not try to hire poker players? They make a living reading people while accessing incomplete information, manage risk in real-time, and usually stay cool under pressure. my last company was overseen by 2 women, one I met playing poker" CEO: [Raises eyebrows] "But that's a game, not business." Me: "And business isn't a game of odds, psychology, and calculated risk? The best poker players are like elite analysts — they spot patterns fast, adapt instantly, and think five steps ahead. Plus, they’re used to losing... regrouping... and learning. That’s rare." CEO: [Nods slowly] "Fair point. So you're not just hiring gamblers." This is obviously a recap of our talk but he was legitimacy intrigued. Great people come from all walks of life, including poker PS, I am hiring for a marketing director. someone who can oversee all marketing objectives ( website, email, social media etc.) for my company myemployment.com dm or comment here if interested and share this with other hard working poker players looking for a main or in some cases, side income.. #hiring

I recently bought 3 Amazon return pallets for $1,500. The idea is to flip the items for profit. But in reality, I'm doing it all as a way for my son (and other teenagers) to earn some money for college. I'm paying them an hourly wage to sort, inventory, take pictures, and sell the items. Want to see the best...and worst items we got from our first 3 pallets and what it's all worth?! Check out my newest YouTube video that I just published this morning. I hope you enjoy! 👇

@AskPerplexity As these newly announced tariffs are actually a tax on imports and paid by Americans, how much more will prices rise in USA on average?
