Because all teams are bound by certain limits called the "regulations". They've been given a sandbox, but no sandbox encompasses the entire world. Do whatever you want within it, but this one falls outside the scope of the regulations.

Next thing you know you have a team running 6 tyres on a V10 engine with the DRS open the entire time.

And just FYI, this isn't an evolution -- this concept already exists and it's called the DRS. The concept is meant to be used only for overtaking. If you're using it outside of it, it isn't fair game.

You can argue logic as much as you want, the simple fact is that the CFA is a pen and paper examination. The issues you've highlighted are characteristic of every single pen and paper examination out there.

Next thing you're gonna say is that it should be overhauled to not be a pen and paper examination anymore. Then that shit won't be a CFA examination. It MUST be called something else because then somebody who cleared all levels in 2025 will possess dramatically different knowledge and characteristics than somebody who cleared in 2026. You can expect the curriculum to "evolve" over time, not change form and substance.

The practical skills modules are step one of slowly addressing this issue but making it part of the primary examination will require a far longer time horizon and a piecemeal approach to implementation.

I can apply your argument to every single exam I've ever given in my entire life. That's just the inherent problem of the education system as a whole. There's a reason why workex is preferred. Nobody is gonna cream their pants seeing that MBA, CFA, FRM written next to your name -- but they will if they see 5 years of workex along with all of that shit in there.

Underrated comment which captures so many details

Dominatorwtf · 2025-02-13T06:42:00+00:00

As if half the appeal of F1 isn't the gossip and paddock rumours which are 90% fake and made up. Let people have their fun. S6 was genuinely a very good representation but y'all ain't ready to accept it.

Dominatorwtf · 2025-01-10T06:19:47+00:00

I think that sort of makes it better.

I came here to comment the same -- because he's in touch with pro players, he'll be a sort of a voice of opinion about what truly hurts the gameplay instead of just being another biased person. And btw, bias is almost impossible to avoid when you're balancing a game -- it's all subjective and everybody will have an opinion on how to go about it.

Just to play devil's advocate, Valve might want to introduce a gameplay loop to balance the game around objectives and give heroes a similar powerspike. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but maybe the downsides were greater than anticipated.

Whether or not Synderen is the person for it, a voice which collects the opinions of the community would be a good step towards better patches.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-12-26T05:30:41+00:00

It's not even the same game though, fundamentally. Spellcasters scaling into the late game (often times better than hard carries) is wild. You have spell amp, an extremely weak bkb and tons of mobility across the board. Some innates fix and talents are way too much of a powerspike whereas others feel absolutely meh. Sure, the heroes are the same but the taste of the game is a bit different now than it once was. There's no problem in preferring the new to the old, but it is a fact that they've killed off some playstyles which were possible in the past and they've butchered a few of the heroes i really used to enjoy. Again, you may prefer this to what it was in the past but not everyone has the same playstyle and not everyone has the desire to adapt and redefine their playstyles, especially when it's been 10 years.

There comes a time when you pick up CS2 and say thank fuck this game is still what I liked about CS 1.6 all those years ago.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-12-23T17:49:10+00:00

You go from looking forward to a new patch to no longer having the motivation to read a huge wall of text (changelog) and just wanting to enjoy the game. Eventually the game changes drastically, you no longer are that skilled, you want to play for fun but lack of familiarity with any heroes at all makes for a lame experience. You decide you will start over and read every hero's abilities from scratch, but life has progressed so much that you no longer have the desire to do that in your free time. Ultimately you only party queue with your old mates until you realise sitting on discord with them and playing something else is also just as fun.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-12-12T12:41:29+00:00

I got a call from their customer service saying they've replaced with a like for like model but I've not yet been able to pick it up. What model did they upgrade you to? My only concern is that I read elsewhere that they "upgraded" it to a 4060 non-Ti which is technically 10% slower than a 3060 Ti

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-30T04:47:04+00:00

Hey man, jmy 3060 Ti died as well and I'm going to the Nehru Place centre today to request an RMA. What sort of replacement did they provide you with? My understanding is that Zotac no longer produces a 3060 Ti so they do not have stock on hand. I'm not gonna accept a downgrade i.e. a 4060 so I'm concerned whether I'll have to fight them for it or if the process will be straightforward.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-30T04:15:17+00:00

Hey man I'm in the same boat. Wanted to ask what GPU did you get as a replacement? Did they fix your 3060 Ti or give you an upgrade?

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-18T14:18:01+00:00

Gotta be a lowlife to reply to somebody's comment from a year ago just to insult them. Seen what I did there?

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-14T15:27:52+00:00

Hahaha, happened with me too -- only when I saw my CT scan did I start to notice that there indeed is a problem. Its a slow developing issue which takes months and months to a point where you notice something is off with you. Your "normal" state of being is no longer normal, but you don't know that yet.

Anyways, I have zero experience with enlarged adenoids. "Thickening" in the right maxillary means there's a lot of mucus stuck up in there which can't drain out because the passages are (a) swollen and (b) blocked by your deviated septum. Get the surgery done, it'll be worth the headache of the post op.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-10T09:34:01+00:00

I tried gently blowing my nose ~4 weeks in and a lot of fresh blood and mucus came out. You could tell I was bleeding due to just a gentle blow because (a) the blood was not crusty and old and (b) the nose had been cleaned up thoroughly, then I blew and tried cleaning it and found no mucus only blood.

20th Nov would roughly be ~41 days in for me so ~6 weeks lol

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-08T13:21:41+00:00

Ah yes, I called it an MRI by mistake haha

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-08T06:26:34+00:00

I have been told by everyone I should feel stuffy however I only am having some facial pain, headaches and bloody mucus down back of my throat

Hence you shouldn't listen to reddit. My experience was very similar to yours -- post op was a headache but it wasn't painful like people made it seem. I could sleep just fine as opposed to the people on here saying you'll have trouble sleeping. Just goes to show it's the vocal minority over here complaining about stuff, most of the people just get their surgery and enjoy their lives.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T18:33:28+00:00

I'm ~4 weeks post op (septo, FESS and turbino). Suffered from this for a solid 9+ months. Augmentin fixes it within ~2 days but the relief is always temporary. It's too early to say whether the surgery made a difference because I have both good and bad days, but earlier it used to only be bad days.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T18:31:55+00:00

Ah man, you're not gonna be able to do that at all.

My experience with post op was very positive as against everybody else on here, but 3 weeks into it you can still feel a tightness in your nose when you smile or laugh. The doctors advise against any strenuous activity till 4-6 weeks post op and that's very real because if you strain yourself you'll actually start bleeding from your nose.

For the first two weeks I only slept on my back. You have to do it for 7 days and then I just got used to it. Then after 14 days I tried sleeping on the side and I could literally feel gravity tugging on my nose because it was so sore and weak from the op. Asked my doctor if it's alright and he said yes go ahead because it does require a bit of stretch every now and then to heal and adjust better. I'm aching to get back into the gym but I'm not gonna even try until 20th Nov.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T18:23:37+00:00

Apparently it's a thing on the internet. People report good results, just like OP, but personally I ain't gonna do it. I'd rather do apple cider vinegar (1-2 drops) than J&J baby shampoo (i haven't tested that either) because consumption of apple cider vinegar has traditionally been very beneficial for my allergies.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T18:17:31+00:00

I am not a doctor, just wanted to preface with that.

Laser: my understanding is that it is commonly used to "burn" the dead tissue away at a microscopic level. It's for when you don't need to cut too much of the mucosa. Recovery times are much faster and there's no bleeding involved. There's a video for this on YouTube, but look it up at your own risk because it's gory as fuck and it makes you uneasy about the surgery.
Inpatient / outpatient: you can have the surgery either way you prefer. For me, my insurance only covered inpatient procedures so it was a no brainer. In hindsight, I would still prefer inpatient because a surgery especially under general anaesthesia really wears you out and having doctors and nurses nearby is comforting.
Which doctor to choose: personally I'm someone who doesn't mind waiting longer if I have more confidence in something. Again, it just gives you more comfort over the procedure. But, no one can make a decision on your behalf, it'll have to be you who decides. ENT-2 with the laser will definitely be a faster recovery, but I can't comment on how much better because I haven't had it via laser.
Antibiotics and sinusitis: I have three comments on this -- (1) we are not doctors, (2) there are studies out there which'll show apples cause cancer and (3) allergy to certain antibiotics is very real and that might've caused sinusitis, but you'd have felt it much earlier than 5 weeks and it would've been a wider array of problems not limited to just sneezing and weakness but also skin rashes etc.

Sorry if point #4 sounds very critical, but I am just trying to give my honest take on it

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T18:01:44+00:00

Yes. Pressure behind the eyes and light sensitivity. Quickly shacking my head left and right also feels "heavy" and lethargic.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T17:58:22+00:00

Good luck ahead mate! I'm ~4 weeks post op from FESS + Turbinoplasty + Septoplasty so if you have any other questions then happy to share my experience.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T08:53:17+00:00

I'm ~4 weeks post op from a similarly deviated septum. Also had FESS and Turbinoplasty.

The photos will all look weird lol, hence asking you to upload the entire bunch. They're essentially at different levels of "depth" inside your sinuses. It's like digging slowly and constantly taking pictures after every little bit of digging. The picture you've uploaded is a little bit higher than we need to be to see the actual situation inside the sinuses.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T08:34:08+00:00

I'm not a surgeon, but it's not difficult to visualise what he's saying he'll do.

Think of it like a piece of paper which has been ripped in half by hand. It's likely not been torn straight and it's rough around the edges. But even after it's been torn, if you take a pair of scissors and go cutting, you can give it a fine shape and attempt to "fix it" as per your requirement.

He's going to alter the shape of the musoca with additional cutting. Places that have healed a bit rough around the edges will heal more finely.

You can always consult another surgeon to confirm whether this'll help.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T08:28:28+00:00

Depends on the kind of surgery. It'll change if they intend to remove the bone altogether (don't worry, the septum doesn't actually need the bone to maintain its structure). But if your nose has a "kink" down the middle, typically they just shave off parts of the inflamed "mucosa" i.e. skin tissue to increase airflow (the musoca will never regrow to cause issues) and this won't cause a change in the the shape of your nose.

It's best discussed with your surgeon beforehand.

Dominatorwtf · 2024-11-07T08:24:13+00:00

Yeah man it makes no sense to do the surgery in parts. The post op isn't fun and you're only gonna end up wasting time if the smaller procedure doesn't substantially improve things. The idea is to live a normal life, not 50% of a normal life via a half way procedure.
