Not many options for IPTV, but I use IPTVX and my own provider and it's setup pretty nice. Sucks you can't get TiviMate.

Best interface and performance I've used on a TV box though

Don't kick yourself, as soon as you decide to throw down real money it drops -50% the next day...
I've always had a decent experience even using the chat feature in the app. They were trying to take me for a ride with LA insurance, they wanted $300/month full coverage on one truck and after moving to TX dropped it to $140.

At least you still speak to an American when you call.
Modern automation is like nothing we've seen so far, but who is out there today mourning for jobs like lift attendants and telephone operators?
You can find decent paid providers online but know a few things. First, they will be targets for law enforcement since they are publicly marketed. Second, they are going to have tons and tons of international channels. Third, customer support is very hit or miss.

Also don't get your card information stolen, pay another way. I use bitcoin, keep a grand in my wallet and it usually pays for my monthly service in equity.

Best bet is talk to someone you know and see if they have a local guy that handles it for them.

It would help to do some research and understand how IPTV works. Here are the basics.

You reach out to a provider and have them setup your account. They will provide you with one or two of multiple ways to sign in. Find an app that supports this method (Xtream codes, Smarters, etc). Otherwise, a provider might have their own app they use, but it will have to be manually downloaded or sideloaded on your device.
I'd do them myself with the RainX kit if it's small enough. If they spread after that then replace but it'll do for like $15
I'd say they need to add a filter for weight but it's actually pretty easy to tell.

If her pictures are only shoulder up, she's a whale.
I'd say it's likely to be a mistake if it's one of those long western/cowboy bifolds.
Call Biloxi Sherriff's department and ask if they have any reported car thefts in that area and time. Provide the name of the wallet owner if so. Chances are you weren't the only vehicle raided.

re: Need guidance on protein

Protein supplements aren't really mean to replace protein in your diet. You'd be better off nutritionally by increasing your normal protein intake through food and supplement post workout with protein.

Just ask the wife to fry you up some steak or chicken to go along with your meal. Or do it yourself. You'll benefit from the vitamins and minerals.

Also drinking 100g+ of dairy based protein a day will probably make your farts regular and eye watering

Makes it clear the woman was not at 160 ft, maybe 160m. You can see cliffs at least as tall as the ones in this video dwarfed in the background
But espresso doesn't have beta alanine, how am I going to feel like I have ants crawling all over me?
Microsoft has been on a tear with this stuff since Windows 10, which they hailed as the final version of Windows if anyone remembers . Their M365 (or is it O365?) suite constantly changes names of services and portals, has duplicate areas for security and settings. Azure is constantly changing names and services.

They always have some big plan to "revamp" a suite of services at any given time like a revolving door. Microsoft has just been a mess for the past 5-10 years

re: AI In Healthcare

I see some potential of neural networks in pharmaceuticals, but honestly I don't see how generative AI would help. Neural networks, other deep learning, and machine learning have been in use for decades. It has been the driving force in understanding how protein molecules fold, for example.

The one thing that is important to keep in mind is that the government could put the hammer down at any moment and pass regulation on generative AI interacting with users. As long as their plan is not to diagnose patients or otherwise introduce discrimination in some way, it should be ok.

They've done this with the government, even though it was rolled back in some ways by Trump, here is an executive order during Biden's admin.
