2024.05.02 23:04 SuitableRock [OFFER] I will give you a 60 day 1200, 2000 or 2800 calorie meal plan and a fully personalized training plan for 15$

Before we get to the offer I wish to give you some background about myself - My name is Dominik, I'm a personal trainer and a nutrition consultant, as well as a powerlifter. I have been doing this with joy for over 10 years now and wish to share that knowledge further on with as many as I can. I don't find it appropriate to advertise my pages here, but for those who want proof, feel free to snoop my reddit post history.
There you can also find my previous posts here on slavelabour that were all well received, which hopefully provides some form of assurance and credibility that I respond and deliver to everybody as fast and efficiently as I can.
Now back to the topic! I'm offering three 60 day meal plan variations - a 1200, 2000 and a 2800 calorie version. Each day of the meal plans is unique and has 5 meals, so in total you're getting 300 different meal ideas - no two will be completely the same. There are no supplements in the meal plan, so there's no meals like "1 scoop of protein powder".
These plans are made of natural foods that can be found in every decently equipped grocery store, with a couple of 'cheat-ish' ones to add some extra variety. The meals won't be complicated to make, nor won't take a lot od time to prepare, and only require basic cooking and seasoning skills. Every ingredient as well as meal has its macronutrient values precisely calculated to one decimal and of course listed next to it.
There are more complex, as well as very simple meals, and due to an easy to read design it's also very simple to switch meals up if you don't like certain ones.
If you only decide to only get one of the meal plans, It's yours for 5$, file format is PDF.
I can send you a sample day, so you can get an idea on how the full meal plan will look like and to make it easier for you to decide if you'd like it or find useful.
For an additional 10$ I'll also write you a fully personalized training plan for your physique goals. We'll go through a detailed questionnaire about your current situation, lifestyle, goals, injuries to work around etc. Based on the anwsers I'll write and send you a detailed training plan within 48 hours, including;
I always respond to everyone, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. I'll try to respond as soon as I can, but if I don't do it right away it most likely means I'm working with my clients or it's night time here.
Cheers!

MAY 02, 2024 MP MP MATERIALS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
https://preview.redd.it/xh7k56aht2yc1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=181f91711284b62eca310609685dba5f4abde93f
REO production of 11,151 metric tons, the second highest ever
Initial design capacity (1,000 mt) of magnetics facility fully committed
Repurchased 13.0 million shares of common stock, or 7.3% of shares outstanding, for $15.43 per share
Issued $747.5 million of new 3.0% convertible notes due 2030
Repurchased $480.0 million of existing convertible notes due 2026 for $428.6 million
Awarded $58.5 million tax credit to advance U.S. rare earth magnet manufacturing
MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP) (“MP Materials” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
“The MP team continues to execute, delivering the second highest quarterly REO production ever at Mountain Pass,” said James Litinsky, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of MP Materials. “Despite the continued difficult pricing environment, we believe we enhanced MP’s intrinsic value with significant progress across our separations operation, our Upstream 60K expansion, and our magnetics business in Texas.”
Litinsky continued, “Moreover, given our strong balance sheet, we were able to be opportunistic in a substantial way across our capital structure in March. We repurchased the majority of our shorter-dated debt at roughly 89 cents on the dollar, pushed out most of our debt maturities to 2030 at a low coupon and, most importantly, repurchased 7.3% of the Company. We believe methodical execution, both operationally and financially, throughout the cycle will prove to be a powerful source of incremental value creation for our shareholders.”
First Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Highlights
https://preview.redd.it/no90ufcht2yc1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c14ac306df3253c275d459c7675bca23aadd6d5

Revenue decreased 49% year-over-year to $48.7 million, driven by a 54% decrease in the realized price of rare earth oxide (“REO”) in concentrate and a 9% decrease in REO sales volumes partially offset by initial sales of separated NdPr. The change in realized price reflects a continued softer pricing environment for rare earth products as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in REO sales volume was due to the start-up of separated rare earth (Stage II) production, as a significant portion of the REO produced, which could otherwise have been sold as rare earth concentrate, was used for work-in-process or to produce packaged and finished separated rare earth products. REO production volumes increased 4% year-over-year primarily due to higher uptimes and feed rates.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to $(1.2) million driven mainly by the lower revenue as discussed above, as well as higher cost of sales, personnel and other general and administrative costs. The increase in cost of sales was mostly driven by production costs related to the start of Stage II production, including a $6.0 million reserve which was largely attributable to elevated carrying costs of the initial production of separated products given the early stage of ramping the Stage II facilities to normalized production levels.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) decreased to $(7.5) million, mainly due to the lower Adjusted EBITDA as well as higher depreciation expense resulting from an increase in capital assets placed into service over the last year. Also impacting the comparison was higher interest expense, mainly due to the newly issued 2030 convertible notes, as well as slightly lower interest income. These changes were partially offset by lower income tax expense mainly associated with lower pre-tax income.
Net income decreased $21.0 million year-over-year to $16.5 million, primarily due to the factors driving the lower Adjusted Net Income (Loss) discussed above, partially offset by a $46.3 million gain associated with the early extinguishment of a portion of convertible notes due in 2026.
Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased $0.28 year-over-year to a diluted loss per share of $(0.08), in line with the change in net income discussed above. Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased $0.31 to $(0.04) in line with the decrease in Adjusted Net Income (Loss) discussed above.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release references certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. MP Materials defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income or loss before interest expense, net; income tax expense or benefit; and depreciation, depletion and amortization; further adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; accretion of asset retirement and environmental obligations; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; and other income or loss. MP Materials defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as GAAP net income or loss excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; and other items that management does not consider representative of our underlying operations; adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. MP Materials defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as GAAP diluted earnings or loss per share excluding the per share impact, using adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; and other items that management does not consider representative of our underlying operations; adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. In addition, when appropriate, we include an adjustment to reverse the impact of applying the if-converted method to our 2026 Notes if necessary to reconcile between GAAP diluted earnings or loss per share and Adjusted Diluted EPS. When applicable, adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding reflect the anti-dilutive impact of our capped call options entered into in connection with the issuance of our 3.00% unsecured senior convertible notes due March 2030.
MP Materials’ management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare MP Materials’ performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. MP Materials believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to MP Materials’ financial condition and results of operations. MP Materials’ management believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends. MP Materials’ method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and MP Materials does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Management does not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative or to be superior to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in MP Materials’ financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Key Performance Indicators
REO Production Volume is measured in MTs, the Company’s principal unit of sale for its concentrate product. This measure refers to the REO content contained in the rare earth concentrate we produce and, beginning in the second quarter of 2023, includes volumes fed into downstream circuits for commissioning and starting up our separations facilities and for producing separated rare earth products, a portion of which is also included in our KPI, NdPr Production Volume. REO Production Volume is a key indicator of the Company’s mining and concentrate processing capacity and efficiency.
REO Sales Volume for a given period is calculated in MTs. A unit, or MT, is considered sold once we recognize revenue on its sale as determined in accordance with GAAP. REO Sales Volume is a key measure of the Company’s ability to convert its concentrate production into revenue.
Realized Price per REO MT for a given period is calculated as the quotient of: (i) the Company’s rare earth concentrate sales, which is determined in accordance with GAAP, for a given period and (ii) the Company’s REO Sales Volume for the same period. Realized Price per REO MT is an important measure of the market price of the Company’s concentrate product.
NdPr Production Volume is measured in MTs, the Company’s principal unit of sale for its NdPr separated products. NdPr Production Volume refers to the volume of finished and packaged NdPr oxide produced at Mountain Pass for a given period. NdPr Production Volume is a key indicator of the Company’s separations and finishing capacity and efficiency.
Our NdPr Sales Volume for a given period is calculated in MTs and on an NdPr oxide-equivalent basis (as further discussed below). A unit, or MT, is considered sold once we recognize revenue on its sale, whether sold as NdPr oxide or NdPr metal, as determined in accordance with GAAP. For NdPr metal sales, the MTs sold and included in NdPr Sales Volume are calculated on the basis of the volume of NdPr oxide used to produce such NdPr metal. We utilize an assumed material conversion ratio of 1.20, such that a sale of 100 MTs of NdPr metal would be included in this KPI as 120 MTs of NdPr oxide-equivalent. NdPr Sales Volume is a key measure of our ability to convert our production of separated NdPr products into revenue. We expect to have a mix of contracts with customers where we will sell NdPr as (i) oxide, (ii) metal, where the amount of oxide required to produce such metal is variable, and (iii) metal, where we have a guarantee of the amount produced and sold based on the amount of oxide consumed. Among other factors, differences between quarterly NdPr Production Volume and NdPr Sales Volume may be caused by the time required for the conversion of NdPr oxide to NdPr metal, including time in-transit.
NdPr Realized Price per kilogram (“KG”) for a given period is calculated as the quotient of: (i) our NdPr oxide and metal sales, which are determined in accordance with GAAP, for a given period and (ii) our NdPr Sales Volume for the same period. NdPr Realized Price per KG is an important measure of the market price of our NdPr products.

2024.05.02 22:34 Various_Succotash_33 Account "loses" 5k or so every close?

I seem to "lose" 5k every close, and the next morning the account value is back to about where it was at 3:59 (ish). It seems to have to do with options pricing as I have a few accounts, and two of them that show the most notable changes have a lot of options contracts. Is there a way to get an "accurate" account value after the close? Exactly what is being used to calculate the account value after the close as opposed to before the close? Thanks!

2024.05.02 22:32 green-sleeves WE are the light in the darkness...

Carl Gustav Jung: "The sole purpose of existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being."
Jung understood a critical thing that we've allowed to fog over in our fast-food-philosophy era. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First a story.
I know this runs counter to most of what you will see and read discussed of NDEs on the net (with the possible exception of Bernardo Kastrup), but bear with me.
So: the story. When I was at school (a long time ago now) there was a very beautiful girl who was the yearned darling of every boy in the year (and some other years too). Without too much effort on her part, if she simply made the right choices, she was set to have a wonderful life.
Two years after school she was diagnosed with an aggressive neurological degenerative disease. Over the course of the next twenty years, and by degrees, it cruelly and relentlessly robbed her of everything worth speaking about – her future, her health, her relationships, her beauty, and eventually her life. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it destroyed her life with a slow control knob.
Now if you’re a fan of the worst kind of new age hokum, you’ll tell me that she chose this in order to learn about having beauty and losing it, or valuing things that matter over superficial appearance, and… well, you get the idea. And I know from experience that the people who say such things say them with no sense of irony or shame. What an intellectually bankrupt insult to her, and her family.
Unfortunately, my view is that new age hokum is trash, so let me tell you a different story of why this happened, a REAL story. It happened because nature doesn’t really know what it is doing. WE are the strongest focus of knowledge and intelligence within the system.
So here is where this relates to NDEs and a persisting problem I have with claims about them. We can’t be “choosing our lives” because that degree of intelligence does not exist in the system outside of the waking state. Nature or the world, in the raw, has more in common with the dream state than the waking state. Like the dream state, it executes things with “real time impacts” but is very poor at understanding long term impacts. A simple case: a bad toothache prevents you from biting down on it and perhaps getting a worse or lethal infection (real time impact). But the pain system has no intelligence built into it to know that the pain ITSELF is debilitating to the point of preventing the organism from doing almost anything else, including feeding itself. Dumb, if ever there was dumb. As well, it has no concept that we now have this thing called advanced dentistry, which offsets many, though arguably not all, of the problems that toothache originally was set in place to avoid.
If there was this great wisdom and radiant intelligence that existed outside of life, why do you think raw consciousness would be so invested in having experiences and generating life here? Well, it wouldn’t. It does that because WE are the carriers of the flame. As Jung put it, it is life that kindles a light in the darkness. Without us, without animal mind, it is a dreaming tide, a storm surge under the moon, and little more.
That doesn’t mean that nonlocality isn’t vast and isn’t powerful. The ocean is vast and the ocean is powerful. But the ocean is also rather limited in what it can do. It can’t write a book or go to the opera or hold a discussion in philosophy. Even considered just as water, it can't do what water does in a water clock or a plumbing system. It can be a little unsettled and stormy perhaps, or it can be calm, but that’s about the end of the list for it. In a similar way, elecrticity in nature can be powerful and vast, but not nuanced and sophisticated.
So in attempting to tell a REAL story here that isn’t new age trash, here is what I’m saying that accurate observations of life AND NDEs should tell us. WE are the keepers of the flame. Existence is burning most brightly in us, but there’s a cost. Like the replicants in Blade Runner, we burn twice as brightly but only half as long, and we have an expiry date.
Although I am agnostic on this next point, I have yet to see any evidence, either, that nature learns from our experience in any structured way, except here. Toothache, as I have said, has not been updated by the existence and knowledge of dentistry. No mammals or even insects have evolved with rotor blade aviation after we invented the helicopter, or with jet propulsion after we invented the aircraft engine and rocket. A kind of “knowing” may indeed be possible in nonlocality, but structured understanding clearly needs the existence of a biological mind.
This is also the reason that NDEs reflect back the precise limit-at-infinity which is the reflection of our own knowledge seen in the mirror, and no more.
Now, I’m not saying that nature CAN’T learn from us. I honestly don’t know whether it can or not, but right now I would say it is moot. What I know for sure is that nature doesn’t set up systems deliberately to knock them over. It doesn’t create healthy teeth in order to give you “the experience of tootache”. It doesn’t create a beautiful girl in order to later give her a degenerative neurolgical disease. These things happen because there is a rampaging un-intelligence loose in the system. There is just enough raw intelligence to create astonishing life forms and possibilities, but no intelligence of the kind that can follow those possibilities through to conseqeunces that actually happen.
So all this stuff about people planning their lives, choosing their parents, selecting their next incarnation, guides, ascended masters. It’s all hokum folks. Don't fall for it. Or at least, the vast majority of it is, because that intelligence demonstrably does not exist in the system. And I do mean demonstrably.
If there is an element of choice at all it is in terms of a possibility, that may or not execute, or may go tragically inverted as a result of some incompletely perceived concomitant possibility, as in the story I started this post with.
Now this also has a consequence for post-mortality. Even Kastrup has said that our life experiences are added to nature’s repertoire. Well maybe, but my question remains, added to in what sense? If it’s just dropped there like a parcel delivery and never made use of again, that’s not much of a step forward over it not being there at all, or it vanishing upon death.
I don’t believe it vanishes upon death. There IS a mystery about memory and NDEs. However, even NDERs don’t seem to be able to do anything with the memories they glimpse in their experiences, which has always intrigued me. It’s yet one more illustration of the general passivity laced throughout the experience.You “peerceive” things, you “know” things, but you don’t use or do things. And I worry that the same is true of “mind at large” (or more accurately “knowing at large”).
How many cancers would a mind as vast as the cosmos have to go through in its splintered fragments as human beings before it could summon the minimal will and intelligence to think up a cure? Especially if it can use nonlocality to perceive possible cures that we might miss. So either it doesn’t care at all, or it simply lacks structured understanding (a simpler phrase for Kastrup’s “metacognition”). But as I say, I am not yet convinced that nature is learning through us, so the question is, what happens to all these experiences we feed to it with every passing of a human life? If it just sits there like so many books in an abstract cosmic library, it doesn’t really amount to much if there is nothing capable of reading those books and putting what was learned there into practice.

2024.05.02 22:28 BoringOldVetiver Simple beginner trick: do not ask GPT, ask for python

Just in case anyone are not aware yet:
For many tasks, like read/write files in different formats (PDF, docx, txt, excel…), or any tasks involving numerical calculations (word count, word frequency count, statistical analysis, etc.),
you should NOT ask GPT to do it directly. Instead, you should ask GPT to write a Python program to do the task,
and then let GPT execute this program to get you result.
Why use a program, instead of simply asking GPT?
Remember, GPT CANNOT DO MATH, it doesn’t know how to count, it doesn’t know how to add, the only thing it does is guessing next word:
if you asked how many “the” used in a article, it will only give you a made-up number to keep the conversation going;
if you are under the impression that GPT can calculate 1+1=2, that’s only because it read it somewhere and remembered the answer, if you ask 726495726 + 5283840272618 instead, it cannot give you a correct answer directly.
Python programs, or any other programming language, handles counting and calculations easily , just like breathing.
Example: Word Frequency Count
To illustrate this, let's consider a simple example: a word frequency count. Instead of asking GPT to count words directly, here's how you can ask GPT to generate a Python script to do it:
Step 1: Request the program script Ask GPT to write a Python program that counts the frequency of each word in a given text.
Step 2: (Optional) Review the script GPT will write a script like the following:
```python import pandas as pd from collections import Counter
def word_frequency(text): words = text.split() word_counts = Counter(words) return pd.DataFrame(word_counts.items(), columns=['Word', 'Frequency']).sort_values(by='Frequency', ascending=False)
text = "Example text with some words. Some words appear more than once." result = word_frequency(text) print(result) ```
Step 3: Execute the script You can either run this script locally on your Python environment, or you can ask GPT to execute it for you (I vaguely remember only GPT4 can execute the program on the spot?). This script uses the Counter from the collections module to count the occurrences of each word and pandas to format and sort the results.
Step 4: Analyze the results The script outputs a DataFrame that lists words by frequency, which makes it easy to see.
Step 5: Modify and extend The script can be easily modified to include additional functionality, such as filtering out common stopwords, handling punctuation, or let you upload a txt file to analyze etc. etc.
Except simple task like this, python can do a lot more with its extensive third party libraries, for examples: - transform output format (like raw text to pdf) - web scraping (possibly disabled in GPT’s environment), - generate PPT files combined with GPT’s drawing functions - handle more complicated data analysis work.
So ask GPT if it can write a python program for your day-to-day tasks, it can give you more accurate results than GPT itself.

2024.05.02 22:28 itsriskylove Believe in me when I do not

Sometimes life slaps you hard where it hurts the most. Maybe you do not understand why or even how, but oh, it does. You will not get why it has happened to you. In the middle of the multitude, you were bitten over and over again. Did you deserve all the suffering? For God’s sake no.
Time after time, after each hardship ever encountered, you could have chosen to lose faith, to see the world as a bitter place; you could have chosen to lose little by little that special light in your eyes. Despite all, you are here today, stronger as ever before.
Yes, you suffered for so long, and at times it does get tiring. You want to rest for a little while. Maybe even sometimes you hope to get lost into the dreaming land to never see the sunrise ever again.
But let me tell you that despite every own little struggle, despite all the damaged cause to your psyche; I believe in you. I believe in you more than ever. I truly believe you can achieve all you ever dreamed of. It takes courage to surpass all you went through, and I know that I probably only know the tip of the iceberg, but yeah, I am here to say that I am proud of you.
I am proud of this amazing human being that you are becoming and the next version of you that you will become. I am sure of it, and I want to discover that with you. In every phase of your life, I want to be there, side by side.
This letter is just for you to remember that we are all human and that includes you. So, forgive yourself if there is a setback, forgive yourself if in the days when you see the world not that colorful. But most importantly, forgive yourself when you do not believe enough in you.
In my eyes, you are the most amazing human being that I have crossed paths with. And it is not for your position or whatever you can think of. Far from that, I believe in you as this resilient soul, that after going through hell and heaven, is still human after all. Seeing life as it is, fighting as one should be.
I want to ask you to always be truthful with me. I want to ask you to always see me as the human with flaws that I am, cause oh… I do have them. So, you can forgive me when I mess up, you can forgive me when I do struggle. I just hope though that we can be always honest with each other and say whatever it is on our minds. Is not going to be easy, it is definitely going to be challenging.
So just tell me when you think I am on the wrong, tell me when I am not doing right, when I am blind enough to not see that my own values are being crossed as you know me as no other. Tell me all of this or even take your time to step out of my side when needed. I am just only going to beg for one thing…
Please never stop believing in me; it is hard for me to see all that you see in me. I never valued my own self enough. In times of despair, I tend to lose the north. I criticize myself and I feel like I will never be enough. Just tell me you have faith in me, that I can surpass everything, even went I just fail and fail. Tell me all of this or what you see in me. Just believe in me, please, as stupid as it sounds, you mean the world to me.
Even when you do not see it, even when I do not express it well enough, you are that for me. You give me strength; you give me the courage. You care for me as no other, despite not seeing each other. You are the one for me. I just hope to return the same for you.
I just hope that I can be your own cheerleader. Not only on times of despair, but in every day to day; in the simple things, and even when you achieve the glory one day. I just hope to return all that you give me. And let me tell you it is not going to be just cause you provided that to me, but because it is what I feel. It is what I always felt, and I always will.
You mean the world to me, and yes, I do believe in you, from ever and forever…
