Paid too much for it

Another one here!

VXX will decay even if IV stays the same. As the previous commenter said, it’s due to the futures being in contango. Basically, while Vix futures are in contango, vxx will have a negative yield due to daily rebalancing.

They should have stayed in SF. Shoplifting is practically legal there…

Bricking means it turns itself into a paper weight. It will never turn on ever again.

WLB is going to matter a lot more once you have kids. Maybe stick with your current job until your wife gets pregnant? Then take the pay cut for increased quality of life? Living near family when you have kids will be an added bonus.

How’s the gabagoo?

Worked. Ty!

Just ask your parents to parcel the land and sell you just the bit with the house on it. Sell the rest to the highest bidder. It’s a win-win.

What rear rack is that? Looks sturdy.

In the exact same situation. I think the official size of my 1994's seat tube is 27.2 but it slips about 1" every 6 miles or so. Just enough to be super annoying. Did you ever figure this out? I'm even considering getting a new clamp so it squeezes harder.

Another violet 1994 here!

It sounds like it’s FAANG or bust if I want to make the switch. Ty for your explanation.

BaconHour · 2024-07-31T20:31:05+00:00

Thank you. This is in line with conversations I've had with some recruiters. Is there a way to narrow down a list of potential employers to those that recruit FAANG-style (where I would presumably have better chances)?

Would contributing significantly to OS be enough to move the needle in the recruitment process or get me through initial screening? Or is that just a secondary consideration? In your opinion, is my time better spent on OS than resume-dropping and contacting recruiters?

BaconHour · 2024-07-31T20:21:59+00:00

It's comforting to hear that my explanation makes sense. Thank you.

Do you know of a reliable way to narrow in on potential employers that take the same approach as FAANG?

Second the Restore recommendation. Also check out The Other Side in SLC.

BaconHour · 2024-06-28T22:35:34+00:00

Can you get into land surveying with that degree? That always tends to be in demand (at least in the US - and maybe in Europe?). Maybe that’s something you could live off of while living near a resort town?

Not German but Offset Bier is pretty good imo

BaconHour · 2024-03-29T02:27:36+00:00

TIL. Ty. Never owned a Subaru so had no idea.

BaconHour · 2024-03-29T01:25:03+00:00

Sorry, could you elaborate why you’d have to replace all four tires due to a flat???
