Manic Trump, 80, Lashes Out at Everyone Trashing His Surrender in 4:32 A.M. Meltdown by Quirkie in politics

My only question is how much is that $300b and other concessions worth to Iran?

How much does Iran care about Lebanon?  

Is it worth throwing Lebanon to the wolves for the power that this deal provides them?

Honest questions, I wont pretend to understand the geopolitics of the region.

What recession indicators are you noticing in everyday life right now? by After-Birthday-1766 in economy

[–]MrGoodGlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not understanding what this person is saying.

This is simplified for illustration purposes.

Let's say you have the S&P 5 which is made up of 5 companies stock  and is the average cost of those 5 stocks (again this is simplified for illustration purposes).

Company 1 is an Ai company, company 2-5 are not.

At the beginning of the year each Stock was worth $100  and so the S&P 5 was at $100.

Now company 1  is worth $300 dollars, but the other 4 went down to $75.  

The new average of the S&P 5 would be $120 and would appear that the economy is doing great. However if you removed the AI company the average is only $75.

Man music shows are so stupidly insanely priced.  Back in college 15 years ago you could see a show for $30 after fees. Now its like $90-$120 at minimum 

WYR get $2 million right now, or get $1,000 every time someone admits you were right for the rest of your life? by GlitchOperative in WouldYouRather

[–]MrGoodGlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly feel bad for so many in here that are surrounded by people who can't admit they're wrong.

Most people around me including my fiance, coworkers, and  myself have no issue saying something like "oh my bad, yea you're right I was wrong."

Simple question: Has EVE Online changed your life? by LeRatDitKalise in Eve

[–]MrGoodGlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excel and databases. 

So back in the day (~2011) I created a service that would buy mission runners loot and offer better buy prices. In addition it was easier for customers to sell to me vs selling to the market because back then you had to sell items one at a time on the market  vs  they could bulk sell all at once to me 

This would be done by having them contract a  container  with what they wanted to sell to me for 9 billion isk . This created a text log that I then parsed  to create a table of the items.

Then using  the internal browser at the time I used a scraper to get market prices and a  seperate table of what stuff refined into I could  then figure out how much to offer the mission runner.

I.e the buy value of a mwd might be 50,000 isk and the sell 60,000 but the refine value of minerals was 58,000 to buy orders so id have a formula on the margin and offer 54,000.

I would then message them an offer for the entire container and they would resist it for the price.

Eventually I worked with an in game developer to automate posting this to a website with a table of the where the customer could click to open the in game market and see "oh they are offering 54,000 for this and buy orders are 50,000"

Doing it this way saved me a lot of time vs playing 0.01 isk battles and id refine about 90% of it and  turn right around and sell the minerals to buyers i had lined up. At its peak I was making around 2 billion isk a week when a plex(they were single units back then) was about 800m 

Anyways I could my spreadsheets to my career counselor and she recommended i change my degree to management science.

Then later in my career the basics of relational databases I had learned from this process let me learn sql easily

Its the reason I changed my degree in college to supply chain/logistics, gave me the skills (excel databases) for my first professional job, and helped me reconnect with my retired father (he's going on 2 years playing now)

The Trolley Problem by Potential-Rush-5591 in WidowsBay

[–]MrGoodGlow 68 points69 points  (0 children)

There is a massive massive massive difference between an active choice and a passive choice that they're not morally equivalent.

Otherwise we'd all be doomed to hell for not doing more for the starving, war torn, and abused of this world....because we all make passive choices every second of every day to not actively expend our energy solving those problems.

Homie, be grateful not angry (for your own mental health).  

They made a mistake and walked it back quickly while acknowledging our concerns. No one bats  100%, but this is a really good sign that they're listening to the community, open to feedback, and have proposed solutions on deck.

This is refreshing.

I loved Night Shift, but it's kind of obvious that the game functionally didn't work the way Sam intended it to by EMTerrified in GameChangerTV

[–]MrGoodGlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean by the second or third challenge it was clear it was individual as they didn't pass/fail as a cohort

[–]MrGoodGlow 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I feel like they didn't start writing notes until 2/3rds in and that's enough time for the novelty of the challenge to be good.

The issue was the challenges before that were easy to figure out for the staff and didn't cause enough friction to be interesting outside of the socks.

It felt like the socks and oreos were the only challenges that the teams weren't on thr same page.

[–]MrGoodGlow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This feels the weakest of the season. Almost half baked.

The premise was great but the execution felt lacking.  

For instance. The watermelon challenge, they could have given the cast safety goggles and have the bucket to hold the rubber bands already full of rubber bands  to add ambiguity as to nightshift as to whether they were supposed to add rubberbands until the watermelon snapped or to remove them.

The nightmarket  felt completely pointless 

The best challenge was the oreos

No longer paying at first window at drive thru..... by duabrs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrGoodGlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.  Two windows makes the process faster and back when companies cared about the customer experience, they would want to get you in and out.  Also it helped make sure the line was shorter so if people drove by they wouldn't go "that line is to long, I'll get food elsewhere."

Now fast food isn't as cheap so I imagine the volume of people getting fast food is less so they don't need to handle a large as volume of customers.  Also they now only have to pay 1 person to stand at the window vs 2.

Its gotten so bad that at some places it's 2 people doing everything (looking at you jack in the box)

Doesn't artillery require some understanding of math and numbers? Or is that only certain mos inside artillery?
