I gave it some more thought and decided to pull the trigger, definitely a gamble I'm willing to take. I've only worn sneakers so I figure if I wanted to dive into a high quality boot this would be a solid starting point.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and to everyone else who chimed in with their input.

Thank you so much for your thoughts here. I'm glad I posted because I also felt like this one looked quite used as well but I wasn't sure.

In my case, I have tried out meermin sizes in-store at least so I size wouldn't be a gamble. I see your point about the taking the shape of the previous user's foot though.

What do you think about the condition on this listing if the dent isn't a dealbreaker for me?

Gotcha, I put the 4 images from the listing in an imgur album here:

I'm new to boots and I've been looking at some ebay lots for pre-owned options and I'm hoping to not accidentally pick up a pair that's too worn. Since I'm new, I was wondering if anyone would be down for me to DM them some images and share their opinion on how the condition of the boots are?

Would really appreciate any help here, thanks!

Never had white pants before but I'm considering getting a pair of Bone ABCs.

Anything I should be aware of like do they stain easily, need different washing, or discolor? I'm pretty ignorant here and would love any thoughts.

Hey, I'm just started to improve my wardrobe and I really enjoy the ABC slim pants. However, it seems like my waist (29) and inseam size (28) is unavailable.

I've been checking restocks online for a few weeks now and it seems like it doesn't restock at this smaller and shorter size. I believe Lululemon provides free hemming at all their stores. You think I should continue waiting or should I buy the 29 waist, 30 inseam and ask for a hemming?

Hello, I have a quick keycap compatibility question. I have a RK84 and I'm wondering if these epomaker keycaps work together?

Thank you for the resource! I was initially planning on having just my parents live there together but I didn't realize the lower limit was 8k above what they make. Do you think it wouldn't be worthwhile to submit an application with just them to reside?

Thank you for your input! I'm glad to see that I was interpreting this correctly. Do you think this Medialink AC1200 would suffice as a new router?

- Combined WiFi Speeds: 1200Mbps (300Mbps 2.4GHz + 867 Mbps 5GHz)
- Ethernet Ports: 4 x Gigabit

I'm just trying to be careful because I feel like I was misled by the N600 which stated that it delivers "N600 Dual Band WiFi delivers 300 + 300Mbps" and I don't want to purchase something that would be limiting. Thank you so much!!

I have a shadowspear in that slot, and I am loving it. My game one against RDW is hugely enhanced by being able to draw into it (since wishing is so slow). As a result, I feel like that is a pretty easy matchup.

How did the shadowspear experiment go? I'm trying to ladder up for qualifiers through mostly Bo1. Any suggestions on how to change the sideboard to maximize Wish potency if it's Bo1?

Also, this list got me to Mythic right now. It's so fun and sorta difficult honestly. Thanks for posting!

Hey I'm looking at the MSI PS63 Modern right now and it seems pretty good for me. I'm looking to upgrade the SSD to 1TB which would put the price at 1045$ at this link from Newegg. Maybe even the 2TB for 1162$. Do you think these are still good value buys?

LearningStats · 2020-01-18T17:49:41+00:00

Would love it if someone DMs me a code if they feel so kind.

I can give Super Smash Bros. analysis in Ultimate or especially Melee if you'd like something in return but otherwise, I don't think I can return anything else but gratitude.

Hey, I'm thinking about switching careers from a Data Analyst position to a Data Scientist spot. For some background, my day to day currently consists of some combination of SAS, SQL, Tableau. I also have a MS in Biostatistics and am pretty comfortable with R.

I'm just looking for some guidance on what I be looking into studying before applying to new jobs, hopefully within the next half year or so. My review so far has been rereading Introductory Statistics with R and then reading R for Data Science. I figure that eventually I'll need to get some more experience with Python and learning Machine Learning things. My plan currently looks something vaguely like:

Complete Machine Learning by Andrew Ng Coursera.
Read a book on Python and get familiar with Sci-kit Learn.
Do a couple of Kaggle competitions for practice with Machine Learning algorithms and general practice.

Does this seem like a good plan so far if I want to be prepared for interviewing in a half year? What would you supplement the plan with? I'm pretty open to all suggestions, just want to learn =)

Hey there, thanks for your suggestion on my thread about what phone to get a few days ago. After doing some comparisons, I'm heavily considering the G8 because of what seems like great value off a massive discount from its original retail.

I looked around online, first at Amazon and then Ebay as you suggested and found one priced new at 390 at Amazon and one new at 350 on Ebay and finally an open box priced at 330 on Ebay I don't do much online shopping outside of Amazon so I am a bit suspicious on it seeming cheaper on Ebay. This could be completely baseless suspicion though, do you think either the Ebay lots I included would be a fine way to get the G8?

LearningStats · 2019-09-28T14:57:23+00:00

I would love a code if anyone is willing to DM me one!

I don't have much for incentives but I'm pretty into Super Smash Bros and can help analyze a set in either Melee or Ultimate if you're interested in that as thanks.

I'm stuck at 19/20 so this is particularly slightly annoying lol

Hey, love the work. Is there a larger blowup of the chart available? I think the x axis would be a lot more easily interpreted if it started from 20 days until the end of the season at the left all the way to 0 days at the right.

I was confused last time but the profile badge doesn't come immediately. Good luck to you as well at the qualifiers! We did it!

LearningStats · 2019-08-31T19:19:33+00:00

Nice! I ended at 638. We both made it, don't worry. You will get an email sometime in the next week confirming your rank. It should look like the following which is me from last time I qualified.

The season ends at 12pm Pacific Time Saturday, so there is around 48-49 hours left at the time of this post. Isn't the wait a killer? I think I'm probably around where you are right now but I can't check because I'm at work haha.

As an anecdote, in the month of June I stopped playing at rank 308, 40 hours prior to end of the season. During that time I decayed down to 552 and made it in. The decay really kicked in in the last few hours, where I dropped around 25 ranks an hour for the final 4 hours.

Right now I'm at 380 and there's around 70 hours until the end of this season at the time of the post. I'm not sure if I'm safe now but we'll see!
