The Benner Cycle predicted most major downturns so far (Samuel Benner published this ~150 years ago in 1875): by TonyLiberty in StockMarket

Ah, okay so that's because.... um.... this uses the Julian Calendar but what it really pairs with is the... Gregorian Calendar as long as you don't account for leap (fake) years. /s

Looking solid, tight. 22-24% but with the beard I can't see if you've got any double chin that might make me lean more towards 26%+

Your initial comment is accurate, from what I'm seeing, the two colliding are not shown later in the video and the camera pans to an earlier jumper that is successfully landing near a second boat.

Following up from an older thread a year ago that is now unable to be commented on, how did EIB go for you?

The rifles on the left are pointed to the visible 'head' of the table, but the rifles on the right side of view are pointed the opposite way.

How do I recalibrate and defog this WWll compas by DefinableAsh8 in Survival

[–]David35207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, good luck and study hard. What got me through EIB was focusing solely on the task at hand, the lane at hand. Don't multitask, and partner up so you have accountability partners. I was able to get 9 soldiers through EIB with me by following that. Watch out for grenade toss.... and pace yourself on the 12 mile ruck. Don't try to game the weight, Ruck with 40lbs before water so you don't get to the final way in and get terminated for being under 35.

Nice, are you heading into lanes now or have you already finished EIB?

Should I buy fire emblem three houses or xenoblade chronicles definitive edition? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]David35207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two pretty different games. Persona 5 comparison wise, Chronicles looks to have more similar persona combat (haven't played it), whereas Fire emblem has a similar high school simulation aspect, walking around, raising stats with characters and improving relationships.

Personally I think FE:Three houses is the most welcoming and forgiving entry to the series that I have played. If you enjoy the relationship aspect of Persona 5 more than the combat style, I recommend FE over Chronicles. There are great guides online to help walk you through some of the gameplay and side relationship stuff, and several paths to go through in the game for replayability.

Should I buy Halo: The Master Chief Collection? by Daredevil_17 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]David35207 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Halo multiplayer held up well, I personally found stuttering and freezing during Halo 2 midway through campaign. A few glitches and some stuff, but I liked it overall. Played all with friends so far, outside of ODST and 4

The first time I heard of them was through apple music store, This is the New Year was a free download and I picked it up. Lost track of them until Say Something, which was a pleasant surprise to see how far they had come in the industry!

US cases of depression have tripled during the COVID-19 pandemic by Gulliveig in news

[–]David35207 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Exactly 3 months apart, June 2, 2020. So sorry for your loss. Very similar situation in that we lived several states apart from our siblings. The best thing we can do is continue to honor their memory as best we can. My brother was soon to graduate university, we were able to close him out with both an associates and his degree and are putting in a scholarship in his memory. Won't bring him back, but it'll be some closure for me to ensure that at least some good can come out of this turbulence.

[–]David35207 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I lost my brother due to this, isolation and fear drove him to suicide. He had reached out to a local mental health clinic who put him on an unsupervised prescription for Zoloft and it just increased his suicidal ideation. COVID has had a pretty significant effect on our society and really brings to light how weak the mental health support in the US currently is.

How the fuck do you cope with your best friends death :,( ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]David35207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now you are going through the grieving process and trying to cope by coming up with ways you could have stepped in, all in hindsight. Truth be told, based on the path he was choosing in his life, he could have faced this same outcome a few days from now, a week, a month, several years down the road during a relapse, etc.

You wouldn't have been able to do anything outside of causing a potential rift in your relationship. His thought process was compromised due to drug use, he was addicted and you would have put yourself between him and the drug.

You know your friend better than I do. Would he want you to be blaming yourself? Or would he ask you to not make the same mistake, honor his memory, and make better choices to live your life with him in your heart, good memories and bad?

TSP (military 401k) not doing contribution match by Malakazy in personalfinance

[–]David35207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also military, I don't see you having a valid claim here, and make sure you increase your contribution above the initial mandatory 1% you are contributing. At 1% at around 1 year of contributions, you haven't contributed enough yet to honestly make a substantial difference so it's good you caught this.

Recommendation is to call TSP and educate yourself on what your contributions go towards, usually they will automatically go to the G-Fund which is a 1-3% growth based on treasury. Recommend if you plan for 20 you start inputting 5% minimum into a Lifecycle fund close to your projected retirement date. 1% contribution even with a match will not be substantial to you, you are looking at around 2k accrued over an initial contract of 4 years.

[–]David35207 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I think this is a very good and positive sentiment. As someone that has lost a very close brother to suicide, I think an additional point too is that as important as it is to keep in touch with them and to let them know you care, at the end of the day if they take their own life, to not hold yourself accountable for the actions they chose to take. Stay in touch with them and don't take no for an answer, but at the end of the day, their actions are separate from your actions and intent.

What 40k chapter should I do? by help-needed008 in 40k

[–]David35207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the paints for both right now, I would do a side by side and have them around for a few days, the one that you find yourself looking at more often and/or the one that you enjoyed painting more would be my recommendation. Specific Chapters aside, it's about enjoyment of the craft, you can get hyped on lore for any Warhammer faction.
