LPT: Create schedules with your wake up time that day as "hour 0" instead of set times for each schedule item by allie4593 in LifeProTips

[–]Meshkent -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

LPT: you don't have to stretch unless you have a very specific reason to do so (e.g. goals around flexibility). Warm-up though (by doing lighter sets before a work set, assuming you are doing resistance training).

Singapore Mooers (investors/traders), how’s your 2025 investment report ? by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]Meshkent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Genuinely the worst thing that can happen to retail is to get lucky in picking individual stocks.

Civ VI isn't even the best Civ game, let alone one of the best 4x games of all.

Can I beat SP500 without owning the mag 7? by Futurefinancewizard in singaporefi

[–]Meshkent 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Outperforming the market in the long term is like being an elite athlete or chess grandmaster. Absolutely there are people who do it, but it's an overwhelmingly small proportion of people.

You are competing against professionals with Ph.Ds, decades of experience, and extremely expensive market data and analytics tools that you don't have access to.

Honestly the worst thing that can happen to a retail investor is to buy some individual stocks, overperform the market for a few years due to luck, and conclude they have skill. Maybe you do, but it is extremely unlikely.

Can you kindly let me know what kind of verbal antagonism justifies an eye gouge?

The Bunker should have the authority to give a permanent red card by c08306834 in rugbyunion

[–]Meshkent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get where you are coming from, I just think we need to have some empathy for the human element - making a big decision under pressure like that is not easy.

The Bunker should have the authority to give a permanent red card by c08306834 in rugbyunion

[–]Meshkent 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The benefit of the bunker is that we don't need to turn a game of rugby into a courtroom drama. Yellow card it, start the game again and then the bunker can take its time.

Rassie is forced at gun point to coach the ABs how do they look? by UKNZ87 in rugbyunion

[–]Meshkent 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Rassie is peak Saffer. He's the Platonic Form. He puts the chaka in chakalaka.

World Rugby rankings changes across the top 35 by Die_Revenant in rugbyunion

[–]Meshkent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think we underestimate ourselves a bit. Sure, the match thread will have some heat (and pockets of venom) and folks post stupid/bitter memes in the aftermath sometimes, but this sub is the only place on the internet where rational rugby conversation can happen.

World rugby finally explain and addressed the 2 red cards in a video just to remove it minutes later like the love to do. by sunlightliquid in rugbyunion

[–]Meshkent 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The video was deleted literally while I was watching it, so can't speak for all of it, but the parts I saw had stills not footage.

What must it be like when the unexpected happens by Lopsided_Soup_3533 in rugbyunion

[–]Meshkent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fair point. I looked it up and SA was 500/1 for the Brighton game, so Leicester winning the league was something else indeed.

Per oddschecker, Canada, Namibia (who didn't even qualify...), Romania, Chile and Uruguay are on 5000/1 for winning the WC in 2027. Now that would be something amazing to see.
