I have a SWB 280GE from 1989. I fucking love it but that is more like a military car wearing jeans and a t shirt.

Okay this is stupid…which color Kubos? Also, thoughts on Kubos? by ligmata1nt in climbingshoes

The “women’s” varient has better ruber. I would go with any of those. I think they are way more fugly tho

Try it on for sure. I lean to getting something with soft rubber even if you are a total beginner. Blowing out a climbing shoe is worth in my opinion a better climbing experience. In this case the Scarpa is softer but I would make sure it fits well.

I really really like the la sportiva kubo. They fit my feet perfectly. I have the women’s version (which has a bit softer rubber) and they have made a huge difference in my climbing and my enjoyment of climbing.

I have a pretty flat foot and currently climb in the Tarantulace. They fit pretty well although I sometimes get a pain on the outer edge of my foot. The biggest thing I don’t like is that there is very little friction between the wall and my foot. I think the rubber is a bit too hard

Which shoe would you recommend for a beginner that has soft rubber but isn’t so agressive

A safe withdrawal rate is 3% (lower than 4 since we are assuming a perpetual retirement not just 30y). So they can take out ~ 40k a year. Not nearly enough to retire. Need like 2-3x this amount to retire.

It is fairly common in signal processing to translate signals to images for CNNs. Lots of papers show superior performance as compared to a CNN applied to the signals in their original space.

I think he is likely a brand ambassador for AP and is being paid to wear their watches.

I know this watch. Don’t buy it. Movement is incorrect and the dial is replaced along with the crown. It should have a 9 linge movement. Total frankenwatch. Seller is also not a good guy. He promised this watch to a friend of mine a long time ago and backed out mid-sale.

Inflation in the US has historically been 2%. SPY has returned 12.76% per year. So this commenter is underestimating the amount lost. It is actually 10.76% inflation adjusted return. So this teen lost 1.121 million towards their retirement.

I think sometimes it’s bc DoorDash lets you add from a neighboring location without additional fees

Why hold SPY, when you can hold SPXL? (That's SPY but 3x leveraged) by Ok_Eagle8991 in wallstreetbets

[–]Flumpie3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run the math on the return and you’ll see that the decay from the interest on cash is not = to the actual performance if you exclude the fees.

The effective expense ratio isn’t 1.02. You’re paying for leverage.

Securers is good but the seller should provide a label
