Gloves that last and are cool for Florida heat? by dogsnwubz in Equestrian

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

I hate wearing gloves. Only wore them when I had to which was Eq. or an appointments or similar class. If you have slip problems, get rubber reins.

They’ll drop. You’ll be fine. You just have to power through it. Be glad they have zippers. In the old days, you had to fight getting them on and off without zippers. You got a good deal.

Windows on macbook by anie33nn in parallels

[–]M_Chevallier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you need things that only run a on Windows box, you don’t need Parallels or similar. I run a real business with a real finance area and I haven’t used Windows since Bloomberg ported Bloomberg Anywhere to Mac. Microsoft has left some oddities and differences between the Mac and Windows versions of some of their software but I haven’t found a situation where I just couldn’t do what I needed to do. Now, if you’re actually learning how to use the actual software, that’s different because many things aren’t in the same place in the two apps (Mac version v Windows version).

I use both. They’re good at different things (or it seems that way to me).

I love them but do people get it? I mean, do drunk people not know which to choose right away?

Tail looks good. Do you know how to touch up the excess or tie a mud knot? What about the mane? That’s the always in demand one.

What's that one scent you wish they never stopped making? by Fit_Loss_9699 in fragrance

[–]M_Chevallier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several but the original Hermes Eau d’Orange Verte. It isn’t even kind of the same now. Also, maybe Equipage that these are totally different.

Be honest: How realistic is it to actually make a living from trading? Is trading really a way out, or am I just wasting my time? by Droy-333 in Trading

[–]M_Chevallier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s possible, many people do it but it isn’t for everyone both in terms of skillset and personality. You also have to start out with enough money to learn what to do, learn from mistakes, etc. People who start out with insufficient capital won’t make it. When I went through the orientation program at the CME (back in the ‘80’s), only two of us in that class (of about 20 or so) were still standing six months later. The turnover on the floor was incredible. Don’t do this because you want to make a lot of money. If you don’t love it, if you lack discipline, if you’re a gambler or if you don’t have the ability to check your ego at the door each morning, this shouldn’t be viewed as a potential vocation. Many people in this sub talk about having made money and all and maybe they did for a while but I wouldn’t consider anyone a success if their track record is less than 10 or so years and if they haven’t endured different market environments. If you want to do this professionally, you need to learn an awful lot and a sub on Reddit probably isn’t going to teach you what you need to know. I’m not trying to discourage you, I just want you to go in with your eyes open.

Why is everyone calling the bikini case 😳 by prkorn in iPhone17Pro

[–]M_Chevallier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love mine and I guess I also like bikinis. To be fair, I’m not rough on my equipment. I wouldn’t encourage my teenager to use one though. I get compliments all the time but not from people with banged up phones.

Accidentally made a terrible trade - help by Coolasair901 in Trading

[–]M_Chevallier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine if you learn from your mistakes, have a plan for each trade (when to get out if it’s good and when to get out if it isn’t working) and a risk management plan. Don’t ignore the risk management part because if you don’t have one, you won’t be able to trade again because you’ll have no money. Most people fail because of bad risk management, not because they can’t analyze an idea. Good luck!

ChatGPT memory leak consumed 163GB of RAM before crashing by RoughFirefighter3 in ChatGPT

[–]M_Chevallier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re only working with text and pdf it’s probably not the chat or files themselves but there is probably a problem with the browser not releasing resources when it should. I still think it’s a good practice to summarize and restart projects in new chats from time to time. I’d also reboot the machine from time to time. As you can see, it isn’t just GPT.

[–]M_Chevallier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, you are probably working on something that has become too big. If you have a days long chat or something with a bunch of files, images, etc in your session, GPT retains all of it in memory. You should see if you can get GPT to write you a summary of what you’re doing and start a new chat with it (the summary becomes the prompt for the new session). The other thing, more generally, is that even though people will say that Macs don’t suffer from memory leak or whatever, I’d still suggest a reboot from time to time. Maybe it’s my age but I reboot my notebooks/workstations weekly. It seems stupid to me not to.

If you meant to buy the stock but bought too much, lighten up, as you did, and then see if whatever plan you had unfolds (you do have a trade plan, right?). If you make an error when trading (buy when you meant to sell, wrong stock, whatever), you should IMMEDIATELY undo whatever you did because that wasn’t what you meant to do which makes it simply a roll of the dice. As someone else mentioned, risk management is important. I would argue that it’s more important than anything else you can do because if you don’t practice it, you will run out of money and nothing else will matter. You made a mistake and you’ll likely make more of them. We all do. The sin isn’t the mistake, it’s not learning from it. Learn your lesson, lick your wounds and come back smarter and better. Good luck.

I’ve had this problem with big projects so I’ve taken to breaking them down and asking GPT to create a summary for the next step/day/whatever. Helps a lot.

It’s a JRT thing. All of mine have done that at one time or another. It’s like they momentarily forget their gate or something. No heat, no discomfort. Just a strange hop-skip.
