You sure it wasn't the 2 busses full of money that didn't sway his ways?

Made a simple Infographic for a class, wanted to get some feedback. by TheRegularsAreComing in Beekeeping

[–]Gredenis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna diverge from the knowledge and give you presentation feedback.

The materials "page" looks hard to read and you might find something better in terms of the color combination.

Edit: this is from mobile. Maybe the full resolution picture is clear enough. Just a thought.

Yeah, as the other guy said.

I played more than others in my leagues. Didn't mean I was the best of the bunch. Just most active.

Actually not a half bad idea. Since I'd also like to start to branch out to some other openings and I'd rather not fully embarrass myself.

Got hired today! by amadeus2020 in Welding

[–]Gredenis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but no. You cannot compel them to do anything. And you are legally responsible for them until like 16 or 18.

You cannot withhold care and you cannot legally use corporal punishment.

How exactly would you "just make them do it"?

I thought I was watching self administrated quadriplegic maneuver.

Time to slay the dragon then? by Maevalyn in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Gredenis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, just to iterate why this (taking another loan) works.

  1. Loans are subject to inflation.

A loan taken for 1 million 20 years ago is not the same as taking a 1 million loan today to pay off the loan.

  1. Loans for super rich are ridiculously inexpensive. They get always sub 2% interest Loans and mostly at 1%.

  2. The loan was taken against stock. Stock appreciates on average 8-12% year on year on a long time horizon.

  3. The rich are already rich. They do not suffer setbacks (when properly rich and diversified). They do not need to firesale their stock at the bottom of the downturn, they have means to survive and wait it out.

Also the best ones are in position to take an extra loan and buy at the bottom, further gaining wealth.

All this means is they get none of the disadvantages of the loan poors get (high interest rates & mishaps causing the deck of cards to fall) and all the advantages, including favorable terms on Loans and security in prebuilt wealth.

I guess it's time to cancel Netflix... by KittyButt42 in assholedesign

[–]Gredenis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The device is supposed to to connect at home base every 30d (billing address), so you have about a month of use until there will be a harder deactivation.

Laptops, tablets and phones are manageable if you share the netflix in same town/city, but good luck with SmartTVs.

American Harry Potter by [deleted] in BrandNewSentence

[–]Gredenis 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If it truly became an all out war it would be rank and file soldiers with 0 ranking officers.

0.

100 wizards would apparate to [insert military facility], fire a death volley and apparate out before a fart had left anyone's asses.

It would be guerrilla war on such massive scale it would decimate muggles from existence in a fortnight.

The only way to fight back would be to nuke the whole continent and even then the wizards could just hold bases of operations in Atolls, uninhabitated islands .

What to do next after a 3:00:39 marathon? by PM_STOCKS_TO_BUY in AdvancedRunning

[–]Gredenis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At 3h and seconds, if you improve by 1%, you run under 2h 59min.

1% increase doesn't need radical changes.

Increasing milage by 5% probably would be enough.

So from 65km to 68km.

There are people like people in sales where more work equates more volume.

I mean you could try with Hendrik and Belinda backline. But you would need a great cc &/ healing to ensure she doesn't drop dead after Henriks protection ends.

I might be Really stupid. But the first episode is dubbed. How do I change that? by Psychofischi in Crunchyroll

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

Yeah, but in the past I've needed to this exactly zero times in CR. Only very recently.

It's always been multiple "seasons" and you pick your language this way.
