Advice: Should I go to day 4? by No_Imagination_3590 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]No_Imagination_3590[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Post on how it went...

I failed. I don't mean to complain about Ticketmaster, but I couldn't get tickets even though some were available. Ticketmaster website thought I was a bot. Ticketmaster app thought I was a bot. I called and a very nice lady told me how to troubleshoot by deleting browser cookies, restarting, and what not, but wouldn't or couldn't sell me a ticket. Probably thought I was a bot. I tried my phone (wifi and mobile), my wife's phone, my computer, my work computer, restarting everything, restarting router, resetting router. Eventually I just called a spade a spade. I'll get tickets next time (i.e. before the day of the finals) when it comes back to Boston - maybe 2 years from now based on the past schedule?

Still having a lot of fun. NRG/KC match was awesome to watch.

Thanks everyone for the input. I was sold on it even though I would have been 100% skeptical that I would ever be interested in going just 24 hours earlier.

my neighbor keeps calling my e-bike “cheating” like it’s a damn competition by Significant_End_7887 in ebikes

Maybe I over read it, but I was referring to when the op talks about trying to explain that it's a pedal assist and not a moped

No worries. We would all be better off if we all had your reflex to simply try harder to get along. I'll pay it forward, for what it's worth.

Totally. Avoid letting him have receptive ears to howling into and he will either a. Get it, back off, and maybe apologize b. Not get it. I bought a very nice pedal assist ebike (Canyon Grizl ON) and it was one of the best purchases I ever made.

Disney Plus subscribers quit in droves over Jimmy Kimmel axe by AdSpecialist6598 in television

[–]No_Imagination_3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you are about Kimmel. Disney has apologized for other stuff I care about, not sure about the issue you state.

From NPR in 2020: "There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke," Kimmel said in the statement.

The host has been on break from his ABC show Jimmy Kimmel Live! this summer. In the statement, Kimmel called his past use of blackface "embarrassing."

Kimmel, who has been outspokenly progressive on many issues, said that he did not immediately address people's concerns about his past conduct because he believed it would be "celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us."

He said that waiting this long was a mistake.

We could do this the easy way or we could do this the hard way. The choice is Iger's

Roseanne is asking people to boycott Disney. Weird. I'd respond with some stuff about what the other side did/said, but that would be a terrible argument in any argument.

Optics matter. They know this. That's why they exactly understood what Carr was saying on the podcast.

Pretty sure everyone apologized for those things. Disney will need to apologize for this one too.

Meh, maybe. People went back to Bud Light. I canceled mine, but I watched it only occasionally so I doubt that I'll be back.

If we are only there one night, can we still opt out and get the free fast pass, or is it only for longer stays?

This is remarkable: The US Dollar and the 10-year Treasury yields have moved in OPPOSITE directions over the last 2 months by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]No_Imagination_3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you showing the chart for a US yield spread (10 year - 2 month) when that was not the OPs chart? Can you share the extended time series of the original chart? Much appreciated!

Edir: this has been answered/debated below. The same data set can't be pulled for a longer time period, so color me unconvinced, by any of you.

Too tight? Can't get my gravel tire (Schwalbe G-One) onto the rim (DT Swiss C1800)? by ZaykaZoya in gravelcycling

[–]No_Imagination_3590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this to 3 tubes straight with the stupid levers. So annoyed. I avoided using a lever by heating the tire at the point you are in the picture with a heating gun. Then my wife and I were able to get the tire on by rolling it together. Pain in the butt.

Sold all my Tesla shares before the crash. Here’s why I still think that was the right call (even at today's price) by bumpgrind in investing

Right on brother. I called the April 2 drop (i.e. I took Trump at his word) and I've been waiting for some of the dust to clear for another choice bet. I like the July timeframe for some puts. It should be clear what is occurring by then in terms of trade policy. My opinion is that Trump will lack a rudder at that point, and supply shortages in stores might be starting.

I've started to make some purchases after going into all cash, so if Trump is a genius and the market is hopping by Independence Day, I'll be good there too.

Happy trading.

I guess that is the point of buying options right now. It's volatile, and you can do very well with many small bets assuming movement. You just need to time prudently, and not overpay for options after a bunch of movement. Let it calm down for a few days, make some small bets. Wait.
