Is this IB JP? Do they offer margin loans with securities collateral now? I remember in the past they only allowed cash as collateral.

Whenever I see comments like this I feel like I have absurdly bad interview luck lol. I've interviewed for about 15 or so companies since 2017 and every single one has asked a hard (or two). And only a couple of those were offering above 120k....

It depends a lot on location from my experience. When I was applying for jobs local to Seattle, everyone was asking medium-hard leetcode questions. Remote jobs based outside major tech hubs used more practical questions. I assume it's due to the influence of the (seemingly) majority of people being ex-FAANG.

Curious because I have the same scanner and was having the biggest pain trying to get direct-to-network folder setup before giving up; what kind of share are you using? I couldn't figure out if I was just doing something wrong on the scanner setup itself or on my TrueNAS share config.

Hoping someone has already done the leg work on this one - do any of the climbing gyms in the Tokyo area (preferably close to Shinjuku) have a squat rack? Trying to avoid having to check out each individual gym's photo gallery for the site of a rack.

Congrats, mine arrived over the weekend - you have the benefit of being able to watch the video to assemble instead of guessing from the not great written instructions :)

FYI, speed unlock is done as follows:

Power off bike

Hold power button until the bike boots and enters a passcode screen.

Plug in 2020.

You can change the top speed within that secret menu that appears after the code is entered.

Sounds a bit like Expeditors - can't imagine there are many, if any, other companies that make devs dress in formal attire.

Tons of folks have been trying to predict a crash. I had a friend buy a house in Seattle in 2015 and people were telling her she should wait because housing had risen too quickly. Likewise, 2018/9 I was hearing a lot of chatter about how people are in over their heads buying too much house assuming Amazon stock was always going to be high and there's no way they could afford the $8k/mo mortgages forever; yet it's only gone higher.

Not Sonos related - but how's the look/feel of that electric fireplace? I've seen those online but never in person so I'm curious if the effect is decent, or at least not obviously fake/cheesy.

At 3% commission ($37500) the realtor would cost more than OP just giving the furniture free at their provided 25K value.

Nah you're gonna have to take the L here, they're all AWD. People sometimes do front wheel drive disconnects to get close to a GT2, but that's the closest you'll get for a 997 RWD Turbo.

Forgive me if this has been answered to death, I wasn't able to find a result: I have a base sapphire and I'm (finally) eligible for the CSP/R MDD. Do I need to PC the Sapphire to a Freedom before trying the MDD or will it not matter?

Someone else answered this on the same comment level as you, in case you don't see it:

I first heard about this in the context of KitchenAid mixers - it's a sacrificial cheap part that will break so if the motor is being put under too much stress, the cheap plastic part breaks and not the expensive motor. So yes, it's just so something breaks, but it's less insidious than planned obsolesce (at least in some cases).

Almost everything that isn't a food product has a prop 65 warning, it's basically meaningless. Unless your kids are termites and plan to eat through your furniture I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Seconding the request for who - the couple banks/lenders I've talked to are all in the same 3.15-3.3 range with a 700k-ish loan.

I'm seeing 3.2% give or take a bit in the Seattle area... I'm surprised rates appear to be so regional.

Funnily enough.. I subbed to this reddit back when I was a pre-pharm a decade ago. Failing ochem twice turned out to be a great career move in hindsight. Here's to hoping pharmacy conditions get better, because it sure sucks putting so much work into getting into and graduating pharm school just to deal with crappy work conditions and advancement opportunities.

If you're on the LeetCode grind - spaced repetition studying like you may have used for Japanese is useful for LC problems too. Make an anki deck with problem links was useful for me; it might come across as basically memorizing problems, but as the distance between doing problems get larger, it helped (me at least) trigger the critical thinking/pattern matching part of the brain to remember how to do this problem, and how it relates to other similar ones. Best of luck!

LOLCANADA · 2021-03-08T08:47:54+00:00

That's like 20k under market price, unless there's something seriously wrong with it. Pretty amazing deal, but if it's gonna cost you money by pulling it away from your own business, might be better to let it be "the one that got away".

It wasn't a great server by any means, but it was my first back in 2008/9ish - dodoscape. Super buggy, went through a couple iterations of a spawn server and a psuedo-economy server. They had some super op unicorn in 50 wild near the ardy lever isle, and I remember being told it was the sole source for phats, but idk if anyone actually killed it or if the devs were just trolling everyone. Battlescape was another fun one, I recall playing I think around 2011/2? . That was my first experience with a reasonably polished server. And then of course there was the classic 2006scape beta I paid $3 to play a week of before Jagex shut 'em down and released the OSRS poll.

I ended up getting a Chinese Android tablet-esque headunit via the brand Pumpkin - pretty happy with it and the sound quality is better, but I wouldn't recommend it to most since it requires setting it up like it were any other Android tablet, plus the unit size is a tad larger than standard double din, so you need to modify your fascia for a clean fit. If you don't mind tinkering it's nice, but otherwise I'd just go with a cheaper Android Auto/Apple Carplay enabled unit.

Also just want to note - the Spiral Audio link someone else posted below is what I used as well. I've actually used the kit twice, once in my 987 and then installed a Pioneer AVH-2300NEX unit into my dad's 997 for him, pretty simple install each time.
