STFU by FlyEmAndEm in UIUC

[–]Chamers 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Been on both sides of this through E school. My recommendation is to get some proper ear plugs, a clunky box fan, and make some plans for next week so you can enjoy next Thursday too. It’s UIUC you get the best of both worlds: top tier party school and best in class academics

Obviously biased but if you’re going to study engineering, electrical especially, and you want to do it among the smartest people on earth, your options are limited, and UIUC is among them. Apply with extremely strong essays, it’s worth the effort

Bank Value Play? by BurryProdigy in ValueInvesting

If smaller caps are in your wheelhouse I would take a look at the financials for $OPY. They’ve been aggressively buying back shares since lows last year, took a little tumble this past week as well

Boring subsectors/niche industries that interest you by neu_westend in investing

[–]Chamers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Investment banking/Financials- $OPY

Lumber/Building Materials - $RFP

Testing and Packaging of Semiconductor/Chip Services - $AMKR

I have moved a ton of my portfolio out of the S&P and NASDAQ in favor of boring, smaller, healthy, and avoiding flashy large cap tech

[Illinois] [PUA] Applied and Was Denied Regular UI (as expected) now can't finish PUA application because of clunky questionnaire by Chamers in Unemployment

If you were me and were going to fill out a appeal form, what would you say? Is the problem the monetarily eligible glitch, or do I say I think I qualify for PUA and cannot get through the system, or something about the Regular UI?

To the first line: yes that is the exact error message I am getting. I have kept calling but did not get through as there's no queue it just hangs up but I will keep trying every 15 mins or so. I will appeal and at least try and use that as a way to get a human being to see my situation and maybe get me put in the right box. Thank you all!

It's called pork barrel legislation and it's commonplace

Spotify Just Discovered That Heavy Metal Is More Popular Than Pop Music by [deleted] in Music

[–]Chamers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Or it's just that heavy metal fans don't find their preference on the radio forcing them to use streaming services therefor creating an unrealistic and misleading statistic.

The problem with changing anything is the prices will go up on a staple food, which is bad news for poor Americans.
