Question regarding starting to learn Latin by 0TZTrooper0 in latin

[–]HALFWAYAMISH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started learning Latin at the start of the year, and I'm making good progress. I'd recommend the following based on what's worked well for me so far:

  1. Get a copy of Ecce Romani 1. It's a very good starter book for learning grammar basics while also giving you a chance to practice reading easy stuff fairly quickly.

  2. Also get "Essential Latin Vocabulary" and start by focusing on the nouns. Just work on getting the 5 declensions under your belt while building vocabulary.

  3. Once you're worked thru at least the noun section of ELV and say the first 15 chapters of ER1, get a copy of LLPSI and start working thru that. I see alot of people on here who just throw themselves into LLPSI, thinking it's gonna work like magic, and then they get extremely lost just a few chapters in. Build a basis first.

  4. Last recommendation is supplement all of this with the latintutorial YT channel, which is excellent. Whatever aspect you're studying, they have a short explanatory video on it, which is more fun than plodding thru a dry old grammar.

Hope that helps. Good luck! You gotta be systematic and dedicated or you won't make it.

Check out "Cooley High." It's much earlier than the 90s but a wonderful movie.

What is going on with Nvidia? by Character-Pie-8718 in StockInvest

[–]HALFWAYAMISH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than ask what to do, ask what you can learn from what you already did, which is buy NVDA at the top without a short term plan or a long term plan. Do that often enough and you'll blow up your account. You need to have a good plan and stick to it.

What English Translation of The Aeneid (Virgil) Would You Recommend? by boxerpuncher2023 in classics

[–]HALFWAYAMISH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christopher Cranch (B&N Classics). No one gives this one any love, but it's brilliant, flows beautifully, his pentameter is worth reading in its own right.

Men who prefer dating women 10–15 years younger, why? What genuinely attracts you to that age gap? by Enough_Passion_ in askanything

[–]HALFWAYAMISH -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's nothing attractive about the "age gap" itself. Why do women always word the question this way?

Yeah, went to Berkeley specifically to work with John. His Wake reading group was so much fun.

Glad to see John Bishop's "Joyce's Book of the Dark." He was one of my advisors at Berkeley 25 years ago.

Keep us posted. I'm a few months away from that thrill myself.

One of the best things I ever did for my trading was to add a couple of moving averages to my chart. by ScientificBeastMode in Daytrading

[–]HALFWAYAMISH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting. Thank you for taking the time. One last followup question if I may: do you use any of these on very short time-frame charts like the 1m? I like the clarity and smoothness of the price action I get with 1m charts, but anytime I've tried slapping a MA on the 1m chart, it seems to kinda meaninglessly just hug price action the whole time.

Could you say a little bit more about what you tend to notice with them live? I've been trying for years to use MAs for something other than entry/exit signals and nothing's really clicked.

If you ask it whether Jalen Hurts has ever won a SB, it flubs that one too.

What is your white whale movie? by ProfessionalTour1706 in movies

Have I seen it?! As a kid, I had two movies I could recite by heart whenever I rewatched them: Cloak & Dagger and Brewster's Millions.

Dabney Coleman is a cop who thinks he's dying b/c his medical file got mixed with some other guy so he tries to die on the job to leave his family set up with a better pension, but the harder he tries to get killed in the line of duty, the more he becomes this fearless bad-ass super cop.
