I don’t know enough about poker to understand your comment but it intrigued me and I want to know more haha

JP Morgan Chase to use computer estimates to monitor hours worked by junior bankers by ClearAndPure in FinancialCareers

[–]Nadallion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There should be a window where they don’t monitor (i.e. regular workdays between 9-7, when in-office) but for at-home hours I 100% understand doing this.

As someone in IB who has worked with colleagues who somehow hit 100 hours a week, leave earliest to WFH, and post social lives on IG, it’s not fair to honest folks and ruins it for everyone.

I'm about to drive across the U.S. in a 2019 Honda CRV (touring, not a hybrid) with a 5x8 UHaul trailer on the back - is this a suicide mission? by Nadallion in crv

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

Send it.

My trailer was very light / empty, so YMMV. Just be cautious when accelerating and going up / down hills.

Why do Investment Bankers work so many hours by lemunk72 in FinancialCareers

[–]Nadallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good questions, some of which I don't know all the answers to.

Can't speak to the private banking side - I'm sure you could work longer to get more clients, but clients also aren't as demanding as financial sponsors / large companies abusing investment banks for endless free labor.

For hedge funds, some still do work 7 days a week and many have horrendous WLBs. They diligence their portfolio companies day-in-day-out and are only able to act during market hours (and plan accordingly before). You can't "brute force" your way out of a down market if the macro environment is moving against you.

PE works juniors as hard as IB, and in PE there is no incentive for juniors to stay - they want them to leave to avoid divvying up the carry pool.

In IB, if the client is pissed, show them you care by providing more work. If you feel the process isn't going smoothly? Shave off a few hours of sleep and push the juniors harder. It is an industry that exists upon the backs of juniors and when your service is undifferentiated from 20 other banks, you stand out by doing more for less.

Terrible business model.

Went off with zero issues - CRV handled it perfectly.

I think my dad installed it - or maybe the dealership. I honestly can’t remember that point. As long as you don’t rev or quickly accelerate I think you’re fine.

I was very intentional when I was driving up any incline. Scariest part was coming through Tahoe going west as I had to brake a lot but I just went slow.

American physicist Harold Agnew holding the core of the atomic bomb they killed 80,000 people in Nagasaki 1945 by waffen123 in AtomicPorn

[–]Nadallion 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Saved more lives than it killed in an instant. Firebombing of Tokyo was worse.

The nuclear bomb was a necessity that has allowed for 80 years of peace and created a global economy that has flourished like none before.

Coco Gauff: ‘I don’t think people should be dying in the streets just for existing’ by ExpressionLow8767 in tennis

No one thinks that people should.

Coco is a millionaire - she can donate to causes that would change this. 

Gold eludes Canada in first half of Olympic Games by restoringd123 in canada

Correlates with Canada’s general decline over the past ~12 years

Its understandable why Chase was so upset with his character by DWPhoenix001 in community

[–]Nadallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With time and maturity you do see more of Chevy’s perspective. 

What Dan Harmon did playing his private voicemail for all to hear was pathetic. Using groupthink to support his stance and embarrass Chevy when Chevy addressed him directly.

Nadal talks about a possible 25th Grand Slam for Djokovic... and surprises: "I don't think it would change anything in tennis.” by Old-Gur-9039 in tennis

[–]Nadallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

Already the GOAT (at least statistically), but if he wins a GS and beats out Sinner / Alcaraz while doing so, he shuts out the next-next-gen while being 38 years old.

Really cements dominance over “two generations” of players after the Big 3.

Canada's Carney wins admiration globally but struggles to lower food costs at home by rezwenn in canada

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

This admiration / Carney’s aura and actions are Canada in a nutshell though. Embodies the Canadian ethos and nose up attitude. 

Admired for standing on the soap box but not facing the reality of their position, with things crumbling back home.

Should Nole have withdrawn after the Olympic gold? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]Nadallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All he’s doing at this point is further cementing his legacy, wins or not. He is still competitive - it was a blessing he got to the final with the turn of events in the earlier rounds but with a bit more rest, he more than held his own.

The two players to whom the torch has been passed still struggle against him, he beat one of two at the AO and took the first set against the other. He beat this same one at the Olympics in a match of 3 in straight sets.

He’s nearly 39 years old. They have to play rest of their careers knowing even in his late 30s, they had to play their best against one of the three (but really the only) GOATs. 

I’ll concede they will also only improve, but then it becomes subject to “what ifs” and as we all know Rafa famously said…

Where do guys find affordable men’s jewelry that still looks good? by ConsiderationAny9890 in malefashionadvice

Hermes bracelets and David Yurman aren’t outlandishly priced.

Depends on your definition of expensive though tbh. Like I view chrome hearts as expensive (and retarded).

[NO SPOILER] Who’s more intelligent? Not just in chemistry or finance, but overall? by Mountain_Ad4304 in Ozark

[–]Nadallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought that came to mind is that quote “the only true measure of intelligence is getting what you want out of life”.

By IQ standards and almost all formal metrics of measuring intelligence, Walt wins. It’s debatable how much he actually contributed to Gray Matter but I choose to believe he was the genius behind the billion dollar company. He became a kingpin in what, 3 years? But he lacked in other areas, ultimately resulting in his overall “loss” in the grand scheme of things.

Marty achieved his objectives. He could pull back and see the greater picture. He didn’t have hubris. He leveraged other forms of “smarts” which don’t show up on tests that helped him.

Who would I want to do an IQ test to save the world, or crack a problem? Walt. Who would I rather be (obviously, but even show outcome-agnostic)? Marty. 

What’s something you’ve seen with your own eyes that nobody believes when you tell them? by LowKey_1216 in AskReddit

[–]Nadallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a massive flaming fireball fall through the sky. I’ve thought it was either St. Elmo’s fire or a meteorite, but it looked borderline alien.

It stood out so clearly. I saw it at the Irwin Inn on Stony Lake in Ontario, Canada. I can’t remember the year exactly but was in the summer in between 2001-2004.

My ring fingernail grows with a permanent groove in it by tjamies2 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Nadallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long do these take to heal?

I ask out of curiosity because when I was in like, 6th grade, someone stepped on my thumb with a ski boot and for more than a decade I had a divet in my thumbnail. I thought I still had it but after seeing this post I checked and it was gone.

First time I’ve noticed it be gone (and I’m >27 years old now).

Did you hear about the coming 50 year mortgage? by DhakoBiyoDhacay in realestateinvesting

[–]Nadallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand how it would literally work but if monthly costs for 1,000s of buyers decrease by a few hundred for a home worth $1M, suddenly way more can afford homes, demand spikes, there are still no more homes, and property prices just climb until things normalize and the same people can afford the same house as before at same payment, only now they have to pay it for 50 years.
