2023.06.09 17:47 Alone-University-182 Should I break off this friendship?
I have a good friend who constantly makes little quips at me that makes me feel small and hurt. It happens almost every time we spend 1 on 1 time together. It got to a point where once we were at a restaurant with a few of her friends and she loudly scolded me for “being too loud.” This made me furious and so I ended up sitting there in silence until she asked for a bite of my food and when I said no, she took it anyway. That made me even more angry so I stood up and went home. After I explained this to her, she said she was sorry and that she would change.
Fast forward a few months later, the quips keep happening but just not super publicly. She would make little comments about how she “could tell” my jewelry was from shein (I had bought it much earlier before I learned the full harm of Shein) , or about my music taste, or laughing when I mess up just singing in the car. Once, we were supposed to go out for my birthday and I got the timings mixed up for a place and she snapped at me saying “you didn’t check the timings?” Then we spent the rest of the time together just her complaining about her life and problems (which are super valid and difficult). It’s just that it was supposed to be my bday celebration but it didn’t feel at all like it.
Its now at the point where I feel like I’m acting when I’m around her - making sure I wear and say the right things.
The other day, something unrelated that she said triggered me to unlock and spill everything to which she said I was just attacking her and she felt gutted by me. She said I shouldn’t have let it bottle up, but I didn’t know what else to do. I can’t imagine having to tell her every time she makes a mean comment to me. I think if I were to do that, it would not make for a good time for anyone because it’s every time we hang out and would be a mood killer. But, this could mean that I’m the AH for not telling her about it while its happening and letting it bottle up.
She’s going through some stuff and said she needed a few days but I said I need a few weeks to think about what I want to do.
I really enjoy her friendship and company. She’s very loyal and tries to be a good person. I think that I want to stay her friend because we’ve been through so much together and she’s done a lot for me but sometimes idk if it’s worth it for me to go through the little quips. And at this point, I’m not sure if the friendship can survive. I think it would end up being us both walking on eggshells around each other.
What do I do?

2023.06.09 17:47 Professional_Disk131 Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) Special Report
Predictmedix – a great way to surf the Artificial Intelligence wave.
https://preview.redd.it/3r8p0y1xj05b1.png?width=741&format=png&auto=webp&s=8fc5e7ff02adee1a615f30f61823727f0b1d3e28 There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.”
However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together:
A. The 1990s technology boom: The parallel I see is between the current Artificial Intelligence cycle and the dot-com stock market cycle of ≈1990 to ≈ 2002. As background, the 1990s either developed or laid the groundwork for changes that completely transformed the world we live in. Out of that time came many new technologies and related developments and each was highly disruptive. Here is a very brief list of some of those developments:
(1) Nokia was the first mass-produced cellphone offered in 1992 with the ability to send and receive phone calls as well as store data (e.g. phone numbers).
(2) The World Wide Web, a.k.a. the Web browser was proposed in 1990 and debuted in 1991. This was the start of the Internet, Websites, e-mails and a massive amount of information that would become available to everyone.
(3) With the explosion of data available, finding it became a challenge. Mosaic started as the first search engine in 1993 followed by Yahoo in 1994 and Google in 1998. Today, Google has risen to the top and become synonymous with an Internet search. Google it.
(4) Other important developments of that time included the growth in the capacity of microprocessors, Photoshop, texting, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, realistic videogames for a more adult market, collecting and using DNA, the start of e-tailing and more.
(5) Finally, we have the stock market. Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft are sometimes referred to as the four horsemen of the 1990s tech boom. But we can’t ignore Apple and Google and there were many more that benefited. The smaller, new, Initial Public Offering companies came to the fore with incredibly high returns in the second half of the 1990s.
The chart to the right shows how stock markets performed during the 1990’s high-tech boom. A few things are worth noting:
(1) The Dot.Com stock market cycle lasted a long t time. Essentially, more than the decade of the 1990s. It’s length reflected the importance of the fundamental changes taking place.
(2) There was an important development regarding the stock market that has become part of the stock market legend. On December 5, 1996, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a televised speech used the term “irrational exuberance” to describe a stock market that he thought was highly speculative and overvalued. His comment was intended as a warning from the Fed that the stock market, driven by the high-tech developments described above, was overvalued. His timing was five years early which is a lifetime in the stock market.
(3) The five years after Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” statement was the most profitable for investors of the entire ten years plus of the stock market cycle.
As you sit reading this brief, imagine your life without a cell phone, the Internet, e-mail and text messages. How different would your life be without just these four products that emerged from the 1990s. A more relevant question might be how different would your life be if you had purchased shares in Apple or Cisco or Dell or Google or Microsoft back then?
B. The Artificial Intelligence Boom (AI): The term Artificial Intelligence was created in 1955. The idea was to have a machine that could take data, and find patterns that would enable it to make predictions and reach conclusions (make decisions). The Oxford Dictionary defines AI as “The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.”
It was Moore’s Law in 1975 that stated the capacity of semiconductors would continue to double every two years which enabled computers to be able to put into practice the AI Boom that is taking place today. Current forecasts say the AI industry will grow to $900 billion by 2026 and $15.7 trillion by 2030. AI growth in the 1920s could dwarf anything high-tech was able to accomplish in the 1990s.
(1) There is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom going on and many people don’t yet realize it is even happening. AI is used in:
i. Self-driving and parking cars. AI is used by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo.
ii. Maps and navigation. Enter where you are and where you want to go by car and Google Maps, for example, will give you a choice of routes, the time optimal route taking into account construction and traffic.
iii. Facial detection or recognition. Facial detection identifies a human face or facial recognition that identifies a specific face that can be used for surveillance and security.
iv. Digital assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. When combined with search and recommendation AI, Alexa or Siri is able to learn your preferences and recommend things you are interested in.
v. Customer service chatbots that answer frequently asked questions, track orders or direct calls. Often people will be unaware they are dealing with a machine.
vi. Vehicle recognition use computer vision and deep learning to find a specific car on a surveillance video.
vii. Robot vacuums can scan a living area, look for and remember objects in the way, remember the best route for cleaning the area and decide how many times it should repeat cleaning a specific area.
It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate.
For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human..
AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others.
(2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion.
(3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry.
(4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers.
(5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023.
(6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor?
We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite.
C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting.
I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include:
• Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently.
• In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%.
• In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded.
• In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering.
• In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium.
• Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030.
Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine:
- Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening.
- Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle.
- Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in.
- Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.
I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio.

2023.06.09 17:47 YUNG_lusca Steering Wheel?
I only bought the game to play the custom tracks, mainly the ones based on Hot Wheels tracks.
First thing i noticed is that the cars are very understeering, and playing on keyboard/controller there are some sharp turns you simply cant make.
So, is it possible to play with a generic steering wheel controller?
and would it help with the understeering?
Thank y'all for the attention

Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.
I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio. submitted by Professional_Disk131 to SmallCapStocks [link] [comments] |

The station features over 50 fuel pumps for all vehicle types, 30 EV Charge Stations and parking for over 500 cars. Ballyluas is a large town planned to be built in the near future with railway, motorway and air access. It will mainly have low density housing and commercial Districts with power being supplied by Solar Farms in the suburbs of Warning City. Several exits will be built on the IC1 to accommodate traffic arriving in the southern, south-western and south-eastern areas of the city. The town will be split into to stages, N-Stage and S-Stage, S-Stage will be south of the IC1 and is the first part of the town, N-Stage will be built North of the IC1 and is the second part of the town. Traffic and Travel There are major delays on the Warning City Entrance Roundabout, traffic official highly recommended you reroute your commute to avoid large traffic jams. The new South IC1 - Ballyluas fuel station is open today so traffic is heavy on approach to the Ballyluas Junction in both directions. Weather It will be dry until around 6 o'clock this evening when heavy rain showers are to hit the City, arriving from the North-East. It is advised you avoid driving in these conditions as there will be spot flooding on both major and minor roads. Tomorrow will continue to have heavy rain but will brighten up around 3 in the afternoon. Today's highs and lows are 23 to 15.

2023.06.09 17:46 Professional_Disk131 Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) Special Report
| Predictmedix – a great way to surf the Artificial Intelligence wave. https://preview.redd.it/2tbmbdz7j05b1.png?width=741&format=png&auto=webp&s=28148e6bd16531cc543f34cb1b02b51ef59760e3 There is a saying attributed to Mark Twain that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but if often rhymes.” This means circumstances might be different but similar events often recur. This is good because securities regulators demand that you make it clear that in the financial markets, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results.” However, investment analysts continue to use rhymes and here’s one that could help you see sizeable investment returns from Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF). This is how the rhyme comes together: A. The 1990s technology boom: The parallel I see is between the current Artificial Intelligence cycle and the dot-com stock market cycle of ≈1990 to ≈ 2002. As background, the 1990s either developed or laid the groundwork for changes that completely transformed the world we live in. Out of that time came many new technologies and related developments and each was highly disruptive. Here is a very brief list of some of those developments: (1) Nokia was the first mass-produced cellphone offered in 1992 with the ability to send and receive phone calls as well as store data (e.g. phone numbers). (2) The World Wide Web, a.k.a. the Web browser was proposed in 1990 and debuted in 1991. This was the start of the Internet, Websites, e-mails and a massive amount of information that would become available to everyone. (3) With the explosion of data available, finding it became a challenge. Mosaic started as the first search engine in 1993 followed by Yahoo in 1994 and Google in 1998. Today, Google has risen to the top and become synonymous with an Internet search. Google it. (4) Other important developments of that time included the growth in the capacity of microprocessors, Photoshop, texting, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, realistic videogames for a more adult market, collecting and using DNA, the start of e-tailing and more. (5) Finally, we have the stock market. Cisco, Dell, Intel and Microsoft are sometimes referred to as the four horsemen of the 1990s tech boom. But we can’t ignore Apple and Google and there were many more that benefited. The smaller, new, Initial Public Offering companies came to the fore with incredibly high returns in the second half of the 1990s. The chart to the right shows how stock markets performed during the 1990’s high-tech boom. A few things are worth noting: (1) The Dot.Com stock market cycle lasted a long t time. Essentially, more than the decade of the 1990s. It’s length reflected the importance of the fundamental changes taking place. (2) There was an important development regarding the stock market that has become part of the stock market legend. On December 5, 1996, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan in a televised speech used the term “irrational exuberance” to describe a stock market that he thought was highly speculative and overvalued. His comment was intended as a warning from the Fed that the stock market, driven by the high-tech developments described above, was overvalued. His timing was five years early which is a lifetime in the stock market. (3) The five years after Greenspan’s “irrational exuberance” statement was the most profitable for investors of the entire ten years plus of the stock market cycle. As you sit reading this brief, imagine your life without a cell phone, the Internet, e-mail and text messages. How different would your life be without just these four products that emerged from the 1990s. A more relevant question might be how different would your life be if you had purchased shares in Apple or Cisco or Dell or Google or Microsoft back then? B. The Artificial Intelligence Boom (AI): The term Artificial Intelligence was created in 1955. The idea was to have a machine that could take data, and find patterns that would enable it to make predictions and reach conclusions (make decisions). The Oxford Dictionary defines AI as “The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.” It was Moore’s Law in 1975 that stated the capacity of semiconductors would continue to double every two years which enabled computers to be able to put into practice the AI Boom that is taking place today. Current forecasts say the AI industry will grow to $900 billion by 2026 and $15.7 trillion by 2030. AI growth in the 1920s could dwarf anything high-tech was able to accomplish in the 1990s. (1) There is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom going on and many people don’t yet realize it is even happening. AI is used in: i. Self-driving and parking cars. AI is used by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota and Volvo. ii. Maps and navigation. Enter where you are and where you want to go by car and Google Maps, for example, will give you a choice of routes, the time optimal route taking into account construction and traffic. iii. Facial detection or recognition. Facial detection identifies a human face or facial recognition that identifies a specific face that can be used for surveillance and security. iv. Digital assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. When combined with search and recommendation AI, Alexa or Siri is able to learn your preferences and recommend things you are interested in. v. Customer service chatbots that answer frequently asked questions, track orders or direct calls. Often people will be unaware they are dealing with a machine. vi. Vehicle recognition use computer vision and deep learning to find a specific car on a surveillance video. vii. Robot vacuums can scan a living area, look for and remember objects in the way, remember the best route for cleaning the area and decide how many times it should repeat cleaning a specific area. It is estimated that by 2030, between 400 and 800 million jobs will be displaced by Artificial Intelligence and 375 million people will have to change to a totally different type of work. It is also forecast that it is not just lower-paying, blue-collar jobs that will be replaced by AI. Jobs such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, investment advisors and portfolio managers might all be substantially eliminated. AI will impact all industries and the rate of change will be exponential, that is, the rate of change will accelerate. For example, what does a doctor do? In general, a doctor gathers new information, refers to a patient’s medical history, refers to a medical book or today’s Internet, makes a diagnosis and provides s treatment. This is also what a lawyer does. AI might reach the point where it can do it faster and better than a human.. AI does present threats to human existence. As AI is changing exponentially, it will happen faster than the technology boom of the 1990s. It took technology 20 years to produce the changes we discussed above. AI could produce equivalent changes in 10 or 15 years. For example, ChatGPT, an AI product went from zero to 100 million users within months making it the fastest-growing consumer software product in history. There will be others. (2) The AI shift could drive economic change and a stock market cycle at least as significant as the last “dot.com” cycle. The “go-to” companies today for participation in AI are the likes of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL). These are very large companies. GOOGL has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, AMZN has a market cap of $1.2 trillion, META has a market cap of $$648 billion, MSFT has a market cap of $2.4 trillion, NCDA has a market cap of $963 billion and ORCL has a market cap of $282 billion. (3) While these are excellent businesses, they are also amongst the world’s largest companies. In 2022, GOOGL, META and MSFT purchased 2 out of every 3 AI chips. In my opinion, it is almost unthinkable that GOOGL can be a ten-bagger from a base market cap of $1.6 trillion or AMZN from $1.2 trillion. But it is clear these stocks now have a major component of their value derived from involvement in Artificial Intelligence and it is not surprising that early adopters would choose a lower risk/lower return approach to gain exposure to an emerging Artificial Intelligence industry. (4) The changes created by AI also carry some risks. The speed of change will be challenging to human beings. There are forecasts that say one in four workers globally will see their jobs disappear and one in eight workers will have to be retrained in a totally unrelated field. During the industrial revolution and the tech boom, there was always the promise of more and better jobs. With AI we may have reached the point where machines actually do replace workers. (5) Cathie Wood is a well-known and widely followed money manager with a reputation for expertise in the Artificial Intelligence sector. Wood manages a range of portfolios including the ARK Innovation Exchange Traded Fund (ARKK) and since its founding in 2014, Bloomberg estimates NDVA has contributed 13% of the fund’s 112% total return only behind Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Invitae Corp and Tesla. That is all positive but Wood sold the ARKK holding in NVDA in January 2023 just before it rallied strongly adding some $560 billion to its market cap with $200 billion coming on one day after reporting earnings. Wood’s investors have basically missed the huge rally in the stock and the sector in 2023. (6) But there is another phase I would look for and that is the participation of smaller, retail investors. Whether it was in the tech cycle I discussed above, the “meme” stocks or commodity exploration and development cycles in the past, the retail investor buys in before the bull market ends. Market pundits such as Citi global asset allocation and Vanda Research make the same observation: where is the retail investor? We know the institutional investors have been getting in. So far in 2023 according to Bloomberg, the top 4% of stocks in the S&P 500 have contributed 94% of the index return and 8 of the top 20 include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA, Alphabet Class C, Tesla and Meta. In other words, the top 2% of the stocks in the S&P 500 contributed 94% of the return. Through mid-May, if the AI stocks are omitted, the S&P Index would be down -1.4% instead of up +8.3%. All of these stocks are AI leaders and each of them is an institutional stock. Yet, I believe the retail investor will come into the market and when they do, it is stocks like PMED for which they have always had an appetite. C. I think investors will get more bang for their buck by investing in a small company like Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) with a total commitment to AI. From a base market cap of $16.6 million and, as I have pointed out in recent reports, many different business verticals to get them higher, I see PMED as a unique opportunity for aggressive growth investors. It is hard to imagine any decade having more of an impact on the ensuring socio-economic decades than the 1990s. Imagine your activities today without your cellphone, Internet, email and texting. I expect the cycle driven by AI to be a long one, similar to the dot-com cycle that lasted longer than the decade of the 1990s. To the right is a chart published by Luke Lango’s Hypergrowth Investing. It shows the stock market in the 1990s and overlays current results. The parallels Lango sees include: • Federal Reserve’s tight money policy slowed economic growth in 1990 as it is doing currently. • In 1990, the markets were down around 20% and in 2022 stocks dropped around 25%. • In late 1990, the Fed started reducing interest rates and the markets rebounded. • In late 2022, the Fed has turned less hawkish and into 2023 has slowed the pace of interest rate increases. The markets have been recovering. • In the early 1990’s, the dot-com stock market rally began and the market would advance generally higher for the rest of the decade and into the new millennium. • Today, it is Artificial Intelligence that is pushing stocks higher and given my expectations for AI, it could stock prices higher until at least 2030. Conclusion: I believe Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is exceptionally well positioned to participate in the upcoming boom in Artificial Intelligence. There are many different ways to describe market cycles that evolve around such drivers. Here is mine: - Accumulation: the earliest buyers tend to be larger institutions that gain the information necessary to be early adopter. I have given several statistics to show this has been happening.
- Retail Participation/Speculation: as the story gains acceptance, less experienced investors enter the market and prices begin to rise more quickly. After two to three years of combined buying by large and small investors, it is possible to identify speculative activities such as very rapid increases in a stock price or underwritings of companies based on questionable valuations. This is the next phase I see ahead for the current AI cycle.
- Distribution/Sale: At some point, toward the end of the Retail Participation/Speculation phase, some investors will begin to sell. It is popular to believe that institutional investors or “smart money” sell at this stage. During the many years, I have spent in the investment business, this is not true. Institutions can hold on to their AI stocks for far too long and end up seeing their portfolios incinerated. This is still many years away. The challenge today with a stock like PMED is not getting out; it is getting in.
- Bear Market: eventually there will be a broad sell-off of AI stocks. Some institutions will sell without regard for their impact on the market. Margin buyers will get margin calls and may be forced to sell again without regard to price. At this time, over half of the AI companies trading at that time will simply disappear. Some will be successful but remain smaller. Some will merge with another AI company. Some will be acquired. Very few will survive and become leaders in the industries. They will become the Alphabets, Amazons, Metas, Microsofts, Nvidias, and Oracles of the 2040s and 2050s.
I started out with the quote “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” So I don’t think the AI cycle of the 2020s will be the same as the high-tech cycle of the 1990s but I think it will be similar. If you agree, Predictmedix Inc. (CSE: PMED, OTCQB: PMEDF) is a stock to buy for your portfolio. submitted by Professional_Disk131 to smallcapbets [link] [comments] |
2023.06.09 17:46 Wan_Haole_Faka Do I have unhealthy expectations relating to used car maintenance records?
Hi all,
Basically, I have about $15 K that I could spend on a used Tacoma, but I can't decide if I should do that or get a used motorcycle for 4-6K.
I have an '05 Toyota Solara in the shop now with 248,000 miles on it. I'm getting the ignition switch and power steering pump replaced and just had the front struts done.
Basically, I'm wanting to move to a new city for other job opportunities and I want something more reliable that won't cause me to miss work and that I can also use for side jobs (I work in plumbing).
My concern with spending $15K on a Tacoma is how do I know it's been well-cared for? I have all the oil change records for my car and it might last another 100K, I just don't want to risk missing work at a new job because of it.
I currently have a company van, but was given it arguably too early. When I switch companies, I likely won't have my own work van for 3-12 months or thereabouts.
I couldn't do side jobs with a motorcycle, but it would be a more economical way to have a backup for getting to work if there were a problem with my Solara.
Whatever I do, I'll be paying cash because I don't want any more hard inquiries on my credit, thus the reason for not financing a newer truck. I may need to pass a credit check for an apartment rental and have two hard inquiries fall off in December. If I got a motorcycle, I would end up buying a newer Tacoma once my Solara is beyond repair or Toyota stops making parts for it.
However, is there a way to buy used trucks/cars with a verified service record? Is that what "certified preowned" means? I've never bought a used car before, so I appreciate any and all insights.
Thank you and have a great weekend!

2023.06.09 17:46 Modja I feel lonely and helpless.
I have tried so many times to quit. I have smoked off and on, mostly on, for the the last 15 years.
My smoking, however, is inextricably tied to the group of friends I have. They are school friends, college friends, and like me, they are all heavy stoners, at least 2g / day.
I live with them too, in a houseshare. I tried living on my own but I found it so incredibly lonely that I couldn't do it in the end.
I'm 34. I worked for myself since I was 18 so I can't form a new social circle through work like a lot of people.
I tried dating apps, just with the hope of meeting someone new. No luck.
I don't really have a family to speak of and I literally don't know anyone else.
My stoner friends are into cars in a huge way, in a way I could never be, but we initially we bonded over gaming. Alas, that is stagnating at the moment and some days I just spend bored, only smoking weed.
So I decided to go on holiday, where I am now, for a few days. I've done this before, though, only to relapse again as soon as I return, because I literally have no other life and nobody else gives a shit.
I feel literally helpless. Sure I could junk my stoner friends without too much trouble, but then I'll just be completely alone.

2023.06.09 17:45 MTN_Dewz Subaru Impreza 2007 WRX 2.5 Sedan AUDIO TUNING
Hey guys,
so im about to buy a '07 Impreza WRX 2.5 Sedan and i already wanted to plan some sound system tuning.
It has no car radio atm but i was looking for DIN2 screens with Apple CarPlay and found some nice ones.
The more important part is the subwoofer and the speaker themselves though. Do you have any brands, models, reccomendations, tips/tricks?
About what to buy, how to do it, and some good placements for the woofer?
I really put the sound quality to heart, so yeah, does anyone of you have any experience with it?
Thank you!

2023.06.09 17:45 TolietSounds Questions about Traffic Court
I got pulled over for the first time the other day on Powers and Stetson Hills for speeding in Powers and Woodmen. Initially I assumed I was being pulled over because my registration sticker is peeling slightly but I taped it back on so it's completely visible. When the cop walked up to my window, he was asking for my license and registration which I had ready, because I assumed he was gonna lecture me on my sticker.
He disappeared for several minutes and then came back with a ticket saying I was going 20 over (75 in a 55). He never asked me how fast I was going nor did he ask me to sign the ticket, he just said have a nice day and left. I can't pay by mail and I have mandatory court later this month and I'm getting 6 points. Currently my argument is that I was following traffic in the left lane I was in, and maybe he caught another car speeding and his liDar wasn't calibrated that morning.
I was in an accident a few years ago that got me points and I thought they would drop either this year or next. How screwed am I? Any advice on reducing points or the ticket? Much appreciated:)

2023.06.09 17:45 TempoRamen95 Mom has own auto insurance, but drove and solo crashed my car as an Excluded driver on MY policy.
I posted this yesterday, but now I have her declarations and policy.
Declaration:
https://imgur.com/8AJp3WZ Policy:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lElIcr0-Huc76ipU_emFtWyB-5PLmEUQ/view?usp=sharing What happened was her own car was out of commission, so she was borrowing mine for one day for work, which I gave her permission for. I didn't realize she was an excluded driver on my policy, since the rest of the family in the household are covered. She was in a solo accident, hit a curb, broke the wheel/axle and the bumper. I know for sure my policy won't cover it, but will submitting a claim under her policy work? We are contemplating whether just taking the loss, or attempting a claim that may or may not work that would increase her premiums.
There is this language in the policy for "insured car": "any car or utility trailer
not owned by you or a resident of the
same household in which you live being
temporarily used as a substitute for any other vehicle described in this definition, because of its withdrawal from normal use
due to breakdown, repair, servicing, loss or destruction, provided such use is with the permission of the owner."
This seems like the situation where she borrowed my car, she did get my permission, but as an excluded driver, does this disqualify her?

2023.06.09 17:45 Blahblah0123999 My husband is almost perfect but I despise him when he drives
I love love love my husband with all that I am. He is my soul mate and dream man. He treats me well and loves me passionately. We don’t really argue BUT when we’re in the car… I feel like I despise him sometimes.
He started driving later in life, 38 yo to be exact. We live in Asia so he used to commute or take a cab his entire life. I have some driving experience when I was in my teens (30 now) but officially took driving lessons last year, he also had driving lessons but it was 6 or 7 yrs ago, he never really drove after learning until we bought a car in December 2022. Now he’s been driving for 6 months or so. We’ve had some accidents because he’s always so unsure when we’re on the road. I grew up with good drivers around me (mom, dad, brothers, friends, etc) so it’s really my first time to be driven around by a complete novice and I just lose it. He signals on the exact time he’s turning, he turns right or left from the farther lane, he doesn’t know how to park without me guiding him even when we have a parking guide in our car, he doesn’t know anything about car maintenance. He doesn’t even know how to operate any buttons inside the car (he asked me how to adjust his seat, how to bring down windows, how to open the head lights, etc) He’s really slow when he drives and he always hesitates when he’s changing lanes even if it’s completely free to change lanes! One time we were on the freeway and a large truck came from the right he suddenly pressed brake for us to slow down (he said he felt like the truck was gonna bump into us BUT it had its own lane). This caused the car behind us to also break and they got hit by a bus behind them. I was livid.
I am torn between driving everywhere when we’re together or allowing him to just drive and drive until he gets better at the expense of my sanity. I do guide/teach him some things I picked up from other drivers but I do it with such annoyance. I always say in my head that “He should know this!!”. I get so guilty because his driving really brings out the worst in me. Right after he parks, I’m always okay and back to normal but it’s when he drives that makes me go crazy.

2023.06.09 17:45 itsnesh Best car right now for 20k?
So, my wife just got her permit and once she gets her license we’ll need to have two cars. My plan is to give her my 2014 Kia Soul that has around 120k miles on it and I would get something new(er).
I was initially looking at the 2023 Nissan Versa but I’ve been reading that the engine in it is horrible and usually shits the bed early into its lifespan which sucks because I was really into the car for a minute. So now I’ve been looking at used cars, but so many of them seem like a rip off. No way I’m going to spend almost 20k on a 5-6 year old car with almost 100k miles on it. That just seems like robbery.
But to get to my question, what would be the best used/new car for around 20k right now? I’ve been looking at every type and nothing has really been standing out to me.

2023.06.09 17:44 chailatte647 Lists of Compiled Clues for 2 of Charity’s Final Four Men.
Last night someone requested that we put together a list of evidence for both Dotun and Joey as F1 to compare them. I also put together a list that points to evidence
against each one as F1. If anything was missed, please feel free to add it in the comments.
🚨Also - we are NOT counting out Xavier (who was sleuthed out to have made the final 3). We focused on just Dotun and Joey because Xavier’s list doesn’t have a substantial amount yet and he was the
last of the final 4 to go public (a week ago) so he hasn’t been sleuthed for much time to generate a longer list yet. As more info about Xavier gets out, I can make another post that includes his growing evidence.
And yes - Charity will probably see this post and switch things up to make it harder to sleuth but we are almost 2 weeks out from the premiere with no official F1 confirmation so at this point…let’s just lay out the evidence.
DOTUN F1 CLUES:
- Two 1-1 dates back to back (1 in week 4, 1 in week 5)
- Positive body language during week 5 1-1
- Producers may have rented super nice car for his hometown.
- Spotted in Fiji
- He is 6’7”
- Went public on IG a couple days after 1st suspected SHV weekend.
- Both use 🫶🏾 emojis
- deleted a song by Fireboy, a Nigerian artist (Dotun is Nigerian) from her “Mickey and Minnie” playlist before the playlist was discovered by redditors. The playlist itself was never played by her during the weeks after it was created, but she quickly deleted it once someone here announced they found it.
- “Why are you excited to meet Charity?” written response sounded romantic/F1 vibes.
- Romantic speech in “meet the men” tikTok.
- Has similar traditional/religious family like Charity’s.
- Dotun has family in law enforcement (does Charity have a military family background? Someone please verify if you can).
- Liked a bunch of the posts on the Bachelorette IG page.
- Nehemiah followed Dotun on IG
- Charity followed the Mount Hood Railroad IG account (Dotun possibly had his 1st 1-1 in that area)
- Charity followed the artist Tems. Dotun already followed Tems. No success finding Dotun’s spotify to sleuth more of his music, unfortunately.
JOEY F1 CLUES:
- Group date roses in weeks 2 and 4
- Audience reported romantic chemistry during kissing group date and Barbie group date.
- Kiss during kissing group date was reported by multiple people as “too intimate to watch”.
- He received the first 1-1 date of week 5, typically given to F1s.
- Charity’s most recent ex was white
- Given “competitive” edit in “meet the men” tikTok.
- Seen with Charity in a lot of the promo footage.
- Massive IG clean up right after getting home and going public on IG. A lot of IG models cleaned up.
- Massive IG cleanup done by his sister on IG.
- Appears to have stayed on the mainland for three weeks post filming before going home to Hawaii (would line up with possibly staying until the 1st SHV happened).
- About 2-3 days after getting home, he added a profile picture (the same as his IG one) to his spotify and went private for his listening. Making some think Charity could have told him to do that, as generally speaking the men focus on cleaning IG, Twitter and don’t really make changes to their Spotify (unless they are a “music head”).
- Charity (although she had just 1 single John Mayer song across all her Spotify playlists) followed John Mayer on IG during Joey’s birthday, proceeded to add two John Mayer songs to her playlist after the first SHV. Joey is a big JM fan and goes to his concerts.
- Both use 🤠 emojis
- During each suspected SHV weekend, Charity has seemingly switched from her typical worship/pop/r&b music to play John Mayer, James Bay, artists Joey listens to.
- Joey appears to only post to his story showing he’s in Hawaii during SHV weekends.
- The song with very specific “flying to LA” lyrics.
- Joey’s mom following Nehemiah then going private after we realized.
- Joey’s mom liking posts that specifically feature Charity and no one else.
- Nehemiah followed Joey, unfollowed (as if he might have slipped) and then refollowed him.
- “White boy on my roster” tikTok made days after filming wrapped. (Area codes song).
- Charity posting the barbie date footage of her and Joey close up, then deleting the story.
AGAINST DOTUN AS F1:
- 2 back to back 1-1s. While this was listed as a point for being F1, an argument can be made that this show historically doesn’t have this happen with F1s. The rare occasions that it has happened has been with F2s (Becca T, Lauren).
- Waited a long time to go public on IG. This definitely could be disputed as a point foagainst him, but generally speaking in the last few seasons, he stayed private longer the way Greg, Bri, Jason A did.
- Still to this day hasn’t deleted his FB post about the mentally challenged people he worked with. Charity and her friends are very online and definitely didn’t miss the numerous times it was brought up here. As someone working in her field, it’s assumed she would have asked him to delete it at this point. His FB cleanup was shoddy at best which could mean she didn’t help with it.
- Changes were made to Dotun’s fitness website prior to the end of filming in the middle of FS week.
- Charity trying to prove how she got the time square billboard photo instead of just letting us believe Dotun sent it to her.
- The few of Dotun’s friends that are public didn’t follow any of the BN fan pages or follow Charity to track his journey/get familiar with Charity.
- So far, has a “hidden” edit in promos. The last real hidden F1 was Rachael K, as generally speaking the F1 does get some screen time in promos. But perhaps this clue could be disputed too.
AGAINST JOEY AS F1:
- Joey’s arrival home for a family wedding cuts it very close to when filming wrapped. Usually F1s stay a couple days longer on location post-filming. This could mean he didn’t win.
- Never spotted in Fiji
- Lots of screen time in the promos (was used as a point for F1, but could be disputed too) it might mean he is being pushed as the next lead.
- The only white guy in all black top 4.
- Perhaps Charity wouldn’t choose someone who lives so far away in Hawaii.
- Added “Love Goes” by Sam Smith (a breakup song) to his playlist the week he got home.
- People said body language looked more “tense” during their 1-1 date. It was later found that they had their hands interlocked the whole time in the photos so that could be up for debate.
- Charity’s “when they’re all over 6 feet” IG comment. Joey is 5’11”.

2023.06.09 17:44 paigfife I am planning on quitting in the next month. Is it wrong that I want NK13 to hear it from me first?
Please don’t bombard me with hate. I will accept whatever judgment. I’m only asking because I’m conflicted, not because I’m just going to do it regardless of advice here.
Okay, so my MB is incredibly toxic. She has always been, but it came to a head recently when she asked me to spend my own money to rent a car in order to drive her daughter around. I said no, she got pissed. So long story short, I’m going to quit but need to choose my opportunity carefully so I have a new job lined up. Hopefully within the next month.
NK is 13 and incredibly smart and perceptive. I have never said a single bad word to her about her parents even though they treat me badly. And I absolutely would never speak bad of them even when I quit. But she and I have an amazing bond. I truly love her like a niece or much younger sister. She has told me many times that I’m her favorite nanny she’s ever had and she even makes plans about us being friends when she grows up. It’s so sweet. I am honestly devastated to leave her.
I do worry, however, that her mom might tell her something about me to make her dislike me after I leave. She hasn’t yet, as far as I’m aware, but I’m worried g13 will feel betrayed by my quitting. I want to tell her before I give official notice and tell her that I still love her and I will miss her so much and she is always free to contact me in the future (although I suspect her mom won’t let her, but I’d like for her to feel comfortable reaching out once she’s old enough to make that decision herself). I plan on sending my resignation over email that very same day, if not the very same hour.
My question is, is it completely wrong of me to want to tell her before she finds out from her parents? I would hate for her to think that I don’t trust her or care about her. I worry that she’ll think I don’t love her enough to tell her myself.
On the one hand, she’s 13. She is starting to want to make decisions for herself. She is starting to think for herself. I feel like she’ll be able to understand a little better than a young child. But on the other hand, she is still a child. And her parents are still her safety net (although maybe not her mom, but that’s a story for another post). So maybe I have no right wanting her to hear it from me.

2023.06.09 17:41 peegmaw Scared to leave the house
Hi 🙂 just kind of needed to vent a little bit and thought some people here might be able to relate.
I am currently scared to leave the house to take my dog for a walk. Or to walk myself. Basically, unless I am going somewhere by car, I aint going! I was a little bit nervous before as I’ve seen a big staffy wandering about unleashed. But the other day I heard some dogs fighting, looked out the window and OF COURSE one was a staffy/bully type thing (not the same one). The other dog was a big dog and neither looked hurt so I think it was mainly noise. But it’s made me paranoid as fuck. My dog is a 2.5kg doxie pup, she would have no chance. She stays on the lead as her recall is crap and I can easily pick her up but I am short and a woman, so I wouldn’t be able to fight off a big dog like that. My boyfriend works away on a shift rotation and he has just left for 5 weeks so that sucks. He said there was a post on the local facebook group page too about a staffy chasing a dog (the person was looking for the owner to give them a piece of his mind lol). Which has just made things worse. Probably consuming more dog attack info from this sub has made me more paranoid too haha (not blaming here tho, it is my personal choice to read it).
Without sounding like a NIMBY 😂 this is a nice area. It is in the country. It is a quiet village. We moved here for peace and quiet. Why do these people have to ruin things for other people? I feel like they have ruined my experience with my pup, we only got her at the beginning of March.
Am I being silly? Overly cautious? Entitled? I should note that I have generalised anxiety disorder. I am on medication but I think a chat with my GP might be in order.
