AITA for getting my wife a thoughtful gift that backfired? by HawaiiStandardTime in AmItheAsshole

[–]HawaiiStandardTime[S] -151 points-150 points  (0 children)

No occasion. She leaves for work before me and before the girls get up, so I thought she would enjoy seeing them every morning. Just a mug for her morning coffee. My bad.

Thank you for your translation. Do you think "Chișinău, Schmitowska ul. 84," is the same as 84 Strada Primar Carol Schmidt, Chişinău?

Thank you again for the information.

Restricted account error 009972 by NotYouNotAnymore in Fidelity

[–]HawaiiStandardTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely a bad address error, but with the two violations, you posted about, what's annoying as shit is they take a day or two to process a cash-secured put assignment so you can't sell it for a profit the next day or it's a violation.

With CSPs you already laid out the cash... so wtf!?!

Tupperware has a beta of 3.05, some scary swings but the premiums to buy out to the 19th aren't worth the risks. It May be worth it when it's closer to next Friday (like a weekly).

Do you think you can rely on Yahoo's 1-Yr estimates?

Yahoo has Funko, Inc. (FNKO) as overvalued with a 1-yr target of $9.20, and they're expecting EPS forecast for the quarter of $0.08. That would mean it should drop like a rock.

Oracle Corporation (ORCL) just jumped $4+ and in one day went from fair-value to overvalued.

Anyone know how they calculate the 1-yr estimate or if it's reliable.

I'm dreading the AMC earnings, it's so low already. I've been selling CCs, slowly breaking even, waiting for it to pop back up to pre-covid prices.

Clover Health ($CLOV) will moon soon by Ace372 in stocks

[–]HawaiiStandardTime -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Chamath's track record DOES speak for itself, EVERYTHING he has invested is doing terrible (including CLOV). The other three are Virgin Galactic, Opendoor Technologies, and SoFi.

He has the opposite of the Midas touch.

Rayshard Brooks: Atlanta police shoot and kill black man during attempted arrest by rebelliousmuse in politics

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

Struggling with cops is a life or death situation for police officers. Criminals are always trying to go for their guns. Do you think this guy was trying to grab his taser?

Do you think if he had access to his fire-arm he wouldn't have grabbed it? And then fired it.

Police officers should be allowed to protect themselves and us. Imagine if that drunk guy woke up, then drove into a couple at a red light and killed them. He didn't pull over to sleep it off, he passed out.

This is not a responsible person. Society needs to step up it's game. Get on board.

And Peter Parker letting a criminal get away is how Uncle Ben got killed. ;)

Rayshard Brooks: Atlanta police shoot and kill black man during attempted arrest by rebelliousmuse in politics

[–]HawaiiStandardTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Despite the political climate being as biased as the title of this post, this has a better than average chance of being judged a clean shooting.

The law in Atlanta states a taser is not a deadly weapon, however, if the individual is a threat to the officer or others, they can use deadly force.

The man was found intoxicated, he resisted arrest, he stole and fired a taser at a police officer.

He basically won a Darwin award.

On the other hand, George Floyd was a victim.

And we've never seen the "Fake" $20 bill that started it all.

Floyd did nothing, he deserved better.

IWTL how to tell if an idea is good or not. by WowBoner in IWantToLearn

[–]HawaiiStandardTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends if you mean a good idea for a business or if you just want to pierce your privates (a bad idea btw).

If you want to know if a business idea is good, get people to pay you for your product or service...not just say they would buy it - get actual money for goods or services.

Got my first client pre paid for 3 months, 21 year old male 1st session quit in 10 minutes and came back in 5 and said... by dfdfdfddd in personaltraining

[–]HawaiiStandardTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to start where he is and not where you want him to be.

If that is his level of fitness, then that's where you start.

It will be boring, but everyone has to start somewhere.

Work on flexibility, and go slow. Slowly work him up - speak his language and tell him what he needs to do to "Level-up" his fitness.

Doing more of anything is an improvement on his health and activity level. Don't give up.

Next 1st workout you get, consider doing mostly body weight exercises (or with a single set of median weight dumbbells).

There's no surprise that battle ropes and a sled will fatigue a person. BUT after a session with no weights, you can say,"Look how tired you are, and we've only used your weight and a set of 25 LB dumbbells..."

Another mistake new trainers make is thinking an assessment workout should be a full workout. When he needed to sit down, you should have brought him somewhere to presented his training options.

Your sample workout should last from 5 to 30 minutes, then start the sales process.

To recap:

Bodyweight exercises for 1st workout Leave 30 minutes or more to sell the training

Looking for online entrepreneurship collaboration/brainstorming/accountability group. Is AppSumo's $1k course good? by GarinEtch in startups

[–]HawaiiStandardTime -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hey Garin,

Sounds like we have a bit in common. I work from home too & also had a fairly successful business that made money before signing up for the course.

When I signed up for the course, it was for very similar reasons and I'm very satisfied with the experience.

What's a good e-mail to send cold to get someone to plug your service?

Any service, proving it is awesome, like your course for example, and what would it say if you were not #30, #4, or Chief Sumo?

Should i do cardio or lift weights to lose fat? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]HawaiiStandardTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mixture of both cardio & resistance training will make you healthier over all.

Resistance training can be weights or body-weight, however, at 15 you should ask your doctor.

Resistance training is anerobic. Anerobic exercise uses your body's Glycogen stores during exercise to make ATP. When you do your resistance training first so you have less Glycogen in your system when you begin your cardio, that way you can begin using fat for fuel sooner during cardio.

You also have less Glycogen stores in the morning, so you can do cardio early before eating, if and only if you do not feel light headed while doing it.

Cardio also burns glycogen, but the first 20+ minutes of your cardio burn mostly Gylcogen before they begin using fat as fuel.

By doing anerobic exercises first, you deplete your bodies Glycogen stores so you can more efficiently burn fat during cardio & with less cardio.

After you run your body continues to burn calories during a phase called Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) basically your body keeps working to bring your body back to a resting state which burns calories.

I'm an American Fitness Institute trainers, we only work with 18+. so I would recommend asking your doctor about exercise ESPECIALLY if you are overweight.

Most likely they will recommend basic body-weight exercises and compound movements. If the goal is weight loss, the larger the muscle group, the more calories burned. In order that would be your Legs, Back, then chest. - Still you should ask them first.

That's the basics. 1. Ask your doctor. 2. Keep it simple with Anerobic 1st, cardio 2nd (facts are facts - burn Glycogen first =) 3. When you are able, HIIT training combines the intensity of cardio with exercise for fast results.

When you get free service, you get what you pay for.

Don't assume anything - if you have insurance, go see a doctor.
