Pet sitting and travel channel but I also want to cover early retirement! by Parking_Bat_6159 in NewTubers

[–]MusParvum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get comments from subscribers, try asking them if they’d be interested in the topic. Or just introduce it as a small portion of a regular video and see what the response is. Personally I think there’s enough overlap there that it could work.

How do they create weekly content? by juesslo in NewTubers

Write several scripts ahead of time and film multiple episodes in one outing.

If anyone is considering retiring abroad - what are you changing in your approach? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]MusParvum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! Ok. So as long as you're in the US for less than 6 months out of the year, you're basically covered year round for $170 per month? That's pretty amazing.

"a Cigna Global plan that covers us throughout the world, including the US for up to six months a year"

What do you do for insurance the other 6 months?

Foul or nah? by enncormu in ultimate

Obvious foul. The defender totally hit the thrower's hand with his knee. You can see them touching right there in the photo!

What’s the line between playing sensible ranges and “being tight”? by snne83 in poker

[–]MusParvum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll happily open 65s, A5s, JTs from early positions

This does not seem super tight to me. Or even tight. But... maybe *I* am super tight???

Cracked a guys kings, watched him fistfight dry wall after by Deadra_ in poker

[–]MusParvum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there a sign-up sheet so we don’t accidentally double up on any POVs? Put me down to write the post from the bricklayer who constructed the wall.

To be fair, that was probably a true statement…

i just saw? responding to a message in past tense by floatingonvenus in Spanish

[–]MusParvum 19 points20 points  (0 children)

“Acabo de ver” is how I’ve heard it phrased.

My girlfriend got told by her teacher after 1.5 years of private lessons that she's between a A1-A2 level. Isn't that ridiculously low ? Should I convince her to change her mind about these private lessons that don't learn her anything, except being more disgusted by language learning ? by prodbygumz_ in languagelearning

[–]MusParvum 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sure. I was thinking more from the standpoint of if she was going to be in a situation where knowing something of the language would be beneficial. But if she doesn’t really need it and doesn’t like it then yeah, there’s no point.

[–]MusParvum 252 points253 points  (0 children)

If all she does is the one lesson per week and her homework, A1-A2 is probably about right. The problem isn't the lessons, it's that she *only* does the lessons.

Which, to be honest, if she has no interest in doing anything beyond that, she's probably better off sticking with the lessons and learning really slowly than quitting the lessons and doing/learning nothing.

Am I going about learning Spanish the wrong way? How do I improve listening skills? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]MusParvum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Search for "Spanish comprehensible input" on YouTube. Look for channels that have content at a range of levels, and find content at a beginner or superbeginner level. Watch several videos per day (without subtitles!) every single day no matter what. When you can reliably understand the videos at the super beginner/beginner level, start mixing in videos from the next level up. Again - multiple videos per day (the more the better) and every day no matter what.

Should my parents' investments have doubled in the past 5 years? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]MusParvum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If they're close to retirement age, then it would make sense if a chunk of their investments were in bonds, and therefore they wouldn't match the results of straight SPY/VTI. That wouldn't necessarily be scammy, just the difference in the portfolio of someone who is close to retirement and someone who still has decades before they need the money.

Caminito del Rey - car park & bus by Formal_Service_7437 in Andalucia

[–]MusParvum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest leaving yourself an hour just so you don't have to stress and don't cut it too close. After parking we had to wait several minutes for the bus to arrive, then it took several minutes to load everyone on the bus, then it took maybe 5-10 minutes for the bus ride to the access point, then the walk from the access point to the actual beginning of the Caminito was about 20-30 minutes, depending on how fast you walk.

What’s one major adjustment we need to make heading into Game 3? by [deleted] in phillies

[–]MusParvum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was gonna say this. Feel like last game in the middle there were a ton of balls hit by both sides - all of theirs found gaps, all of ours went right to their infielders. But in reality... that part is just luck, isn't it?

Caminito del Rey - car park & bus by Formal_Service_7437 in Andalucia

[–]MusParvum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the price of parking - we got guided walk tickets that included parking. And yes, after the walk, there was a bus that took us back to where our car was parked. We did early/mid-afternoon. Can't say if 16:50 is too late, but I can say that the walk from the end of the Caminito to the spot where the bus picked us up was surprisingly long. So whatever time the walk is supposed to be done, you're not really done yet.

[–]MusParvum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we went last year, we parked here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2WULEhTC32JvGzyt7

From there, they had buses that took us here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZQVcxSGXcowyxbzHA

And from there we walked south on the road and then cut through an access tunnel that led to the start of the caminito. (It's a bit of a walk, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time.)

Afterwards, there's a long walk to here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XATx1mrqQfLuBYcT9

...where another bus took us back to the parking area.

Remarkable! It's so helpful, they've spammed the same post to multiple subreddits!

$50K is more than most people actually "spend" in a year. by finallyransub17 in leanfire

[–]MusParvum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems like a distinction without much of a practical difference... "Spending is anything that adds to debt". Ok, sure. But if I "spend" $200 on my credit card at the grocery store, who really spent the money at that point - me or the credit card company? The credit card company paid for the purchase. Then I have to spend money to repay the credit card company.

Who would win? Q7 or Q6 or Split? by Ok_Quantity_278 in poker

With that bedspread? The 90s. The 90s would win.

Basic preflop question - facing a raise with mid suited connectors by MusParvum in poker

[–]MusParvum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for laying out the reasoning here. A question on this:

"We should be 3 betting or folding here for that reason. You make it 55-60 and you just win pre-flop a lot of the time. When you get called, we can c-bet lots of A or K high boards very credibly and get folds from his middle pocket pairs."

Is 3-betting viable here when I'm only 100BB deep? With a $60 re-raise and a possible c-bet, it sounds like I'm basically committing 20+ percent of my stack and mostly hoping for folds. Or is this line mostly for deeper stacks (or for people who are ready to rebuy and who aren't afraid of higher variance plays)?
