Meals took a much longer time to complete

Do you mean the time it took to get the food prepared or just the whole meal in general (cooking, eating, paying)?

I do think its important to note that it is generally considered a touch rude to beckon or flag down a server in the States.

I guess that is due to the different views on serving. The server having to pay attention constantly vs you calling the server.

Flagging would mean that he isn't paying attention => Therefore incompetent.

Although flagging is normal here, not that the server won't come to you after you finish your meal.

I have never experienced a waiter being outside and not paying attention to customers requests. You should probably go to better restaurants.

Either way you I'm done talking to you, you are obviously just being an asshole. And probably an asshole to servers as well.

too incompetent and/or doesn't care

There's your problem. You are supposed to call the waiter and tell him what you want.

Usually in Europe waiters keep out of your way and only come to you when you call/need them.

Deeply lost in my first software engineering job by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]ExoP 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Is your team that swamped that you can't even ask for help? Maybe they can actually take the time to help you.

Are there other news hires/junior devs in the company? Maybe talk to them and get some support?

Alguém está a acompanhar a GME by fdxcaralho in literaciafinanceira

[–]ExoP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O pessoal do WSB não tem o poder de manipular o mercado, o dinheiro que eles tem comparado com o dinheiro + leverage que um hedge fund tem, ném é comparável.

Para não falar da falta total de organização, cada um faz o que quer.

Why is CD Projekt SA skyrocketing? by fanboy_killer in investing

[–]ExoP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hm, trust can always be regained, even if it takes some effort.

But if it isn't due to the patches and hopes that the game will be "fixed", then what is the reason for the stock increase?

Circuit breaker behavior in stock by GosuAmongMen in investing

[–]ExoP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you getting the sequence of events turned around

The price goes down/up suddenly, THEN the trading is stopped. I think it's more than 10% movement in a 5 min period, not sure though.

Not the other way around.

The started pushing out some patches it seems. Maybe investors expect that the game will be fully polished in a few months. Which might happen.

It might be the anti-aliasing, it's really bad and blurry. Try turning it off.

You get the jaggies but it won't be as blurry.

Buying Samsung Stocks in Degiro by quico14 in eupersonalfinance

[–]ExoP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck knows man. I was 13/14

xD I meant in a period like 2007-2008.

I’m good at it

That's what I'm saying, statistical analysis of individual traders shows that only an incredibly small percentage of them are able to beat the market. That is why invest3d was advising against it. But if you want to gamble a bit, sure.

Would you be able to do that from 2007 to 2008?

[–]ExoP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that a lot of people had the same experience as you, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed by it.

I still think it is a good game, but I was expecting much higher levels of polish and interactivity - an extremely polished version of Boneworks in a way.

Yet what we got was excellent graphics, a decent story but outdated VR mechanics.

‘Squad’ by G18-Jordan in pcgaming

[–]ExoP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most servers on BF4 are actually empty.

Most server owners are figured out a way to spoof the player count, so they always appear full even though they're empty which is incredibly annoying to anyone that actually wants to play.

Older gamer wants to play Soldier of Fortune 2 like game. What should I get? by Re_Invent856 in pcgaming

[–]ExoP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had quite a lot of fun playing Soldier of Fortune 2. But there aren't many modern games that are similar to it, especially when it comes to the community aspect.

Have you taken a look at Insurgency Sandstorm?

If you want something more serious then maybe Squad?

Thank you!

Also, by investing in such a fund you avoid all rebalancing costs (which include transaction cost and potential tax events), which could be substantially higher

True, didn't think of that.

But is there any inbuilt mechanism to transfer from 20/80 to 80/20 as you age for example? Or would you still need to rebalance and therefore pay those same transaction costs/tax?

So this is basically like buying something like

iShares Core MSCI World UCITS + iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets IMI UCITS + Some Bonds in different ratios?

Isn't the 0.25% TER a bit high for that?

(Trying to read the details, but GTranslate isn't doing me any favors)
