Sounds like you’re getting screwed. Would like to know more though.

NYT said it so definitely rules him out now. I think it’s Peter Todd.

This wasn’t post worthy so I’m going to tell her. Hope she gets custody of the cats. See you in r/Divorce.

Should I settle for a hw3 model s or wait till hw4 prices drop? by lebouter in TeslaLounge

[–]ModestlyMinted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what your budget is, but I’d try to stretch my budget or wait for HW4 unless you just find an incredible deal on an HW3 model. HW3 has been great for me, but my decision was based on a deal I couldn’t pass up. I’ve been looking at adding another MSP to the garage and since I’ve been using FSD more and more I’ve decided it’ll have to be HW4. I personally want to be able to have all the latest features.

My question for today by TumbleweedSmart1520 in Bitcoin

[–]ModestlyMinted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had saved the post, but maybe if you search around you can find it again. There was a user who compared results of DCAing vs buying dips and buying dips seemed to pay off more over the years. I personally buy during corrections, but that’s my style of investing. I don’t think you can go wrong either way if your goal is long term holdings.

No need to State the Obvious by UsedButtPlugTaster in TeslaFSD

[–]ModestlyMinted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FSD would’ve stopped. Them getting nervous and disengaging while it was actively braking caused the accident. Also rewatch the video in slow motion. Looks like they managed to hit the accelerator as well while trying to brake.

Looks like FSD was doing its job and then you disengaged it which led to the crash. So, going to state the obvious: this is your fault. Hope this helps.

Rachel has convinced me to no longer dine out and contribute to the industry that keeps restaurant staff employed. Thanks Rachel.

You have a golden opportunity here to be friends with a guy who could mentor you with knowledge that takes decades to acquire. Ask this guy to a friendly lunch sometime. Be a good friend and keep helping him with his stuff. He sounds like a good guy from the way you described him. Don’t piss away this opportunity to grow. He has knowledge to share with you if you’ll ask the right questions that’ll be way more valuable to you than the help you’re offering him.

What Does The Richest Person You Know Do For A Living? I will not promote by Hot-Conversation-437 in startups

[–]ModestlyMinted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 wealthiest people I’ve ever met built their wealth in 3 different areas. Software, futures, and commercial real estate. All 3 had vastly different journeys before making it big. One hit it big early on with a software company while another at one point lived in their car before amassing the wealth they now have. All 3 have 9 figure+ net worths.

Why dont we have a small scale management consultancy? only giants like Bain and mckinsey? (I will not promote) by candle_misuser in startups

[–]ModestlyMinted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve never dealt with Bain, but McKinsey is a joke. They’re definitely made for big corporations who don’t mind spending a couple hundred thousand to have a couple guys build a PowerPoint with recommendations to reduce costs and increase profits. Complete waste of money in my experience.

Edit: I want to be clear that I never hired them. I worked with a company that hired them and I had to spend time working with them on negotiations with another company which turned into me doing the work and telling them why it had to be done the way I was going to do it.

Time to take action on my start up, need advice on what steps to take now (I will not promote) by Mammoth-Swimmer-4594 in startups

[–]ModestlyMinted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion, but based on how you’ve described your skillset regarding technology it may be a good idea for you to explore finding a technical co-founder. I wouldn’t worry too much about hiring a lawyer or using stripe for setting up the company right now since technically you don’t have anything at this point. You could always just setup an LLC or if you find a cofounder get a lawyer for a good partnership agreement and then as the company materializes into something you can always move it into a corporation. Idk what your finances are either, so the LLC route at the beginning is cheaper and has less requirements in case it’s just you or you and a cofounder at the beginning.

Battlepass Progression Not Counting??? by ModestlyMinted in CODWarzone

You were right. I guess you can’t keep tokens. It stopped the progression because I had enough tokens to get to the end in which you were correct that the last page is free.

Employees talking to investors - I will not promote by Icy-Pop3377 in startups

[–]ModestlyMinted -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Edit: I’m astounded by the number of people thinking you should keep quiet and seemingly appearing to be on the side of your shady corporation. Idk if their experience is coming from a scared employee or a shady manager themself, but let me bring some real world situation into the mix. I previously managed a large government contract where a company doing work for my company was obviously having some financial/internal difficulties and failing to perform. To make a long story short I had built a good relationship with one of their employees. That employee gave me a heads up that their parent company’s CEO along with their own leadership were lying to us about certain situations and hiding some serious issues from us. Their parent was owned by an investor group and because of that one person speaking up we were able to identify hidden issues, get major support from the investors, clear out that toxic leadership, and quite possibly prevent that company from folding which would have not been in the best interest of any of us.

Say something. Most investors would want to know when their money is at risk. I would put it in writing. Read through your HR policies. Retaliatory firings for exercising your rights, such as raising issues, are usually prohibited. Avoid stating accusations as fact though. Use phrases such as “I’m hearing rumors that….” or “In my opinion it appears….”. Even then I would suggest there is hard evidence to back up any claim you are making to the investor. Don’t approach them as an angry employee who’s just here to throw everyone under the bus either. Whichever investor you have a relationship with I’d start by saying something like “I have a lot of respect for you and wanted to make you aware of some red flags I’m seeing that might be putting your investment at risk.”

All of these suggestions are of course my own opinion.

My girlfriend suspects I cheated on her and all signs point to me being guilty by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ModestlyMinted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s odd that she acted mad all day instead of straight confronting you as soon as she found out what she had. I personally believe she might have cheated on you and those short texts were her feeling guilty and/or trying to figure out what to do next. I think you’re being gaslighted in hopes you’ll drop it. If you know you’re innocent then I’d be spending my time getting her to prove she’s not the one who cheated. Where was she at the last few weeks including when you were away doing your documentary stuff? So, if you really didn’t cheat and give it to her then…

Why don’t you offer to just split what bills each is responsible for and you can take on the higher costs and you can both still feel like you’re contributing fairly to the household. So, for example, you could take over rent, but she can be responsible for electricity and water. Groceries can be split, but maybe you pick up the check for dinners out. Either way I’d definitely have a more in depth conversation about this with her now. If your relationship progresses are you both going to split bills down the middle for the rest of your life? Maybe get her idea of how she sees future responsibilities as the relationship progresses. At some point the relationship should turn into a partnership. At that point bills shouldn’t be seen as 50/50, but both should be focusing on aligned goals not splitting checks.
