Is this overfit? Biased? Doomed to Fail?

I go deeper into my strategy in thread below let me know your thoughts.

First lets go over the market timing since thats the place with the skepticism. My logic is that markets specifically equities like QQQ which I use but SPY would be similar, trend 60-80% of the time and its hard to beat them during this period.

Here is a backtest using which has a spysim etf going back to 1886, obviously there wasnt a sp500 then but lots of people use this data as a good enough proxy, SPX on trading view is the same chart. Its using the same 252 day trend that I use today for QQQ testfol.io

RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #1
- ABs are not aware of how frequently rural EDs are closed, and the impact on the people in these communities.
- the ever-worsening stats are meaningless
- it's important to put a human face on what's happening.

Anonymized Actual Case #1:
1/7

Before giving example cases...
Here's a refresher of a recent post on the growing issue across AB:


2/7 buff.ly/FIHAlkb

A middle-aged male presented to a rural ED with acute abdo pain

It was a larger rural ED, and the patient had no idea that it was closed

There was Virtual ED (VED) coverage... but VED cannot assess and treat the sick pts. (Ctas 1 and 2 pts)

Unpopular opinion: Christopher Columbus was a hero.

He singlehandedly carried the torch of Christianity and Western civilization across the ocean, lighting the dawn of a new world.

A thread on one of the most courageous explorers in history 🧵

"I should not proceed by land to the East, as is custom, but by a Westerly route, in which direction we have hitherto no certain evidence that any one has gone."

Columbus wrote this on August 3, 1492.

Can you imagine the bravery it took to even consider such a journey?

It cannot be overstated: Columbus literally crossed the Atlantic and opened the Americas to Europe.

That single act set in motion a series of cultural, religious, and intellectual exchanges that have defined the modern world.

This is a Russian missile cruiser

That's a Russian battle cruiser

Those are Indian warships

Russia’s tank reserves are running out.

Satellite data show that out of 7,342 tanks stored before the war, only 92 T-72B remain in decent condition.

Most others — thousands of T-64s, T-72s, and T-80s — now sit rusting or stripped for parts, United24.

1/

Since 2022, Russia has reactivated about 4,800 tanks, mostly T-80B/BV (1,411), T-72B (1,191), and T-62 (1,012).

Each wave to the front empties depots further — leaving little modern armor to replace losses.

2/

Today, Moscow’s “repairable stock” is down to 684 tanks — mostly outdated T-62s.

Analysts say the quick-to-refit reserves are gone. What’s left is aging, cannibalized equipment that takes months to fix and rarely survives long in battle.

These triplets who all became severely autistic hours after the same pneumococcal vaccine is irrefutable proof vaccines cause autism.

Notably all three also lost their cranial reflexes, mirroring decades of data vaccine-induced microstrokes cause brain damage SIDS and autism by causing the blood cells in the body to electrically clump together, thereby obstructing the smallest blood vessels in the brain (along with .

Remarkably, these microstrokes are very easy to detect once you know how to look for them, and it eye-opening how common they are.🧵

In this article, I reveal how simple electrical changes in the blood can precipitate the wide range of severe but inexplicable injuries seen after vaccination, and how this same process underlies many other complex chronic illnesses.

A Canadian neurologist realized he kept seeing undiagnosed strokes in children after vaccination, and that the most severe ones, like what the triplets experienced, were followed by autistic regressions. Many readers have sent me similar accounts like this:

My low iron anemia patients often suffer with:

•Extreme Fatigue
•Brittle Nails
•Brain Fog
•Thinning Hair
•Constipation
•Cold Hands & Feet
•Soreness on Tongue
•Inflammation
•Headaches

There’s an often-overlooked root cause.

Let’s discuss.

THREAD

Today I’m going to cover 4 parts:

1) What often happens to patients with the above symptoms

2) Common issues with the standard approach

3) A needed test that is practically never ran

4) What to do to address the root cause

I’m going in depth today, so let’s dive in…

Often patients will go to their doctor with some (or all) of the above symptoms and know something is not right in their body.

Their doc will then run standard blood work and get results back.

Very often the results will come back that these individuals have low iron levels.

Which is no surprise. They are then diagnosed as anemic.

Voici le pire du Budget de la Sécurité sociale (PLFSS) présenté par le gouvernement pour 2026 :

1) Il n'y évidemment dans le budget aucune abrogation de la réforme de la retraite à 64 ans, ni même de "suspension" à 63 ans. ⤵️

2) L'Objectif national de dépenses d'assurance maladie (ONDAM) présenté est historiquement austéritaire
👉 1,6% pour 2026, soit une progression des dépenses de santé deux fois plus austéritaire que celle du précédent PLFSS (3,4%).

C'est deux fois moins que la prise en compte de l'accroissement des besoins de santé en raison du vieillissement et de l'inflation cumulés.

1/ NEW: trans identification is in free fall among the young
 
(h/t @FIRE data in particular)

2/ Non-conforming sexual identity (queer, questioning, etc) is also in sharp decline.

Gay and lesbian are stable while heterosexuality has rebounded by around 10 points since 2023.

3/ Not only this, but freshmen in 2024-25 were less trans and queer than seniors whereas it was the reverse when BTQ+ identity was surging in 2022-23.

This suggests that gender/sexual non-conformity will continue to fall.

Im already throttled for telling truths so may as well keep going today:

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more journalists than World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq combined.

Nearly every one of them was Palestinian. They were people who risked everything to show the world what was happening.

This isn’t “collateral damage.”

It’s what silencing the press looks like.

It’s what mass slaughter looks like. Don’t look away.

This is driving me insane — when Joe Biden was president, the idea of a ceasefire deal that returned the hostages and left Hamas around was portrayed by the American Jewish Right as the greatest betrayal of the Jewish people in history.

Then Trump does it and he's a genius.

It's not just that we easily could have had this deal in 2024 if the Biden administration had political cover on the right to pursue it, we IN FACT HAD THIS DEAL in January of 2025 and Trump and Netanyahu deliberately blew it up.

A bunch of hostages endured months of additional captivity, a ton of Palestinians died, Israel's international reputation plummeted, and no strategic goals were achieved that weren't already in place in March.

I'm glad Trump changed his mind, but it's an infuriating sequence.

You sleep 8 hours every day, but still wake up tired.

Coffee, napping, & exercising don’t help...your energy is always drained.

Here’s what’s going on (& 3 simple ways to fix it):

Problem 1: Mouth breathing

Most people breathe through their mouths at night.

Mouth breathing = poor oxygen exchange → stress signals
Nasal breathing = nitric oxide → deep, calm recovery

If you wake up with dry mouth or grogginess, this is you:

FIX 1: Tape your mouth when you sleep

It sounds extreme, but it works.
A $5 roll of surgical tape can help:

• Better oxygen
• Deeper sleep
• Lower heart rate
• Less snoring
• No more dry mouth

Your brain will thank you in the morning

I'm proud to share my favorite photo I got yesterday:

A shot from a remote camera as the ship & 33 Raptor engines roared through the frame. The cryogenic propellant condensing the humid Texas air amid the fiery plume is something to behold

See the uncropped photo in the reply

The backlighting of the setting sun lighting the condensation cloud and plume offered a striking balance of light against the shadowed side of the ship. Gorgeous.

I decided to do a small print release of this one- get it here for a short time: cosmicbackground.io/pages/ea_roar-…
