Personally a big change I’ve noticed about my own grocery shopping habits is that I spend more to get the high quality stuff. eg organic pasture raised eggs, grass fed beef, grass fed dairy, etc. There’s a lot more of this “premium” stuff t

no i didn’t. it’s not about the ranking it’s about what you choose to study. if you go to a lower ranked school you need to focus on technical skills. saying it’s not worth it in general is not what i said at all
333.
by tempsy 4y ago
yes i know. i’m just clarifying for the above comment that all lower ranked colleges are not worth attending
334.
by tempsy 4y ago
i wouldn’t say that. i just think if you go to a lower ranked school your path to career success more so relies on getting a technical degree but yes you shouldn’t be studying liberal arts at a no name school.

it’s more like people tricked into going into the finishing school route at a non-elite college, not about whether you come from a rich family or not and don’t need to take on debt. Go to an Ivy League and major in history and you still hav

a doctor giving generic “eat fruits and vegetables” doesn’t mean anything. it’s just generic words an 8 year old could tell you you don’t take nutrition in medical school. doctors wouldn’t be able to prescribe a more personalized nutritiona

that isn’t true. i’ve never received nutritional advice from a doctor, and if i did i doubt it would be much more than “eat fruits and veggies and exercise” the “official” food pyramid put out by the government still tells people to eat mos

no that is not why “millions” of people have undiagnosed sleep apnea

Do you have trouble breathing through your nose only? Other issue is people breathe through their mouth instead of nose. Get some nose strips and tape mouth shut and train yourself to breathe through your nose.

why treat “sleep apnea” and not the actual root cause? if you’re not fat and have sleep apnea, the other major cause is alcohol consumption/smoking. seems odd to treat the symptom eg sleep apnea and not try to cut out alcohol and smoki

this is not “compensation”. it was money borrowed from the company.

softcore porn is "softcore" because it doesn't involve nudity or explicit intercourse the fact wearing a bikini at the beach is not sexual does not mean streaming yourself wearing a bikini in a hot tub while making moaning no

Rivian IPO’d at like $180B with no sales that’s how insane the 2021 market was

uh 2018-2020 was not a good window it was pretty much very end of 2020 and early to mid 2021.

The unlimited plan on Mint is $30 a month not $15, which is similar as a bunch of other prepaid plans eg Visible (Verizon's prepaid brand) which is $25/mo.

The “day in the life of being a tech worker” tiktoks felt like the top for me. People filming themselves eating free snacks and doing yoga and whatever else other than working.

the claim is that the closure was political which I agree with but keep thinking that could never happen

Great, and I’ve seen no evidence that they suffered the same risks as SVB based on publicly known financials.

by tempsy 4y ago
Except there’s truth to it because no one can prove Signature had the same HTM issues as SVB did. Or that whatever outflows they suffered Friday rendered it insolvent.

I’m not sure why YC is an example of something that has scaled well. There’s so many companies now in each batch with 95%+ never amounting to much success. It’s not clear how the scale is helping anyone.

no bank is safer than lending directly to the US government at higher rates than what they can offer

a “run” can simply be a wake up call to wealthy people with hundreds of thousands or millions in some 0% earning checking account to funnel that money into a money market or t-bills earning 4-5%. that would alone create some outflow even if

Why would anyone go from midsized public bank to opaque neobank if they're now spooked about bank solvency issues? The logical move is to go bigger eg JPM.

the long term fallout was never going to come from only getting 90 cents on the dollar vs 100% it’s the fact that the lender most willing to work with non traditional borrowers eg tech startups is now gone, and there’s no bank or lender tha

there was no announcement it was unannounced generally you do not devalue a program without at least a few weeks or months of notice. very anti customer and not surprised if it leaves bad taste for existing customers. that alone leads me to

dexa scan is the most accurate way. i’ve seen more pop up nowadays. they are a bit expensive though. have seen $150 or so per scan but can probably find cheaper.

no it isn’t. my chase, amex, cap 1 points transfers to the exact same airlines as Brex at 1:1 ratio and always has the airlines and hotel programs do change and devalue their programs from time to time but not the credit cards that offers
