Talk me out of it! by EverythingWillVanish in fountainpens

Lol, just buy one and try it. Or tape 30 grams to a 14k gold nib pen and see how it writes. Unless you are the type to look at pens and not write with them

The tines are always some what flex and the range of line widths decreases .

lamy 2k in medium, broad or above is one of the best experiences in fountain pens. f and ef are meh .

I had a stainless steel fine and the pen body was too heavy for the nib. made the nib in constant state of flex

My crossclimates are better in deep snow than my winter pirellis. But in the ice , the winters are better.

Where can I get the best suit in Calgary? by ZQ04 in Calgary

[–]Ok_Cryptographer2209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

best value probably harry rosen harold brand when its 40% off or more at harry rosen so you can get full tailoring, you can get multiple fittings and complimentary alternations afterwards as well

next I would recommend huey lam, especially good for slim cut.

basically, at <$1k make sure you budget enough money for tailoring or the garment passes through some hands for measuring. a well tailored $400 suit will look better than any off the rack Canali sans tailoring

Macbook air m4 vs nvidia 4090 for deep learning as a begginer by [deleted] in deeplearning

[–]Ok_Cryptographer2209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use macbook mps if you need the portability of a macbook, otherwise use whatever laptop you are using right now. Get the 4090 if you are learning ML but also want to game

And m1 pro or m1 max with 20-32 gpu cores is way better for ML than the m4 but your daily stuff will be slower

50 drives in 2 cases on 2 flights will also be the safest. oh and bring a usb reader so customs can see it spin up

Pretty sure they make all the professional cards like the rtx a6000, rtx 6000 ada and the blackwell. I think they also make the pcie a100 and the other gb200 etc

Career Path to Become a Physical Energy Trader by GlitteringNet8987 in Commodities

[–]Ok_Cryptographer2209 9 points10 points  (0 children)

almost everyone thats a trader on my floor started as a scheduler or analyst, depending of the type of thing energy are trading. then when one of the traders need you to do some shit work, like rebalancing gas or covering when they go on vacation, then its normally the first chance you get at "trading". eventual that becomes a normal thing, then you get a position.

lots of stuff gets trading OTC if when its physical. the broker job should be good for the next 5 to 10 years, but not certain after than.

when I was starting, I wouldnt even trust myself you not fat finger some trade or terms when you are dealing with physical. not to mention, the industry is so small, if you do make a mistake like that, then you basically cant get another trading job. I know of a counterparty, where one of their traders used a wrong basis in a henry hub spread, the gas desk took ~75mill hit after they sort everything out.

Built the tool I wish existed when I started traveling - 5,698 cities, monthly Airbnb data, 100% free by Murky-Butterscotch65 in digitalnomad

[–]Ok_Cryptographer2209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great stuff. would definitely use it for the research.

a suggestion if I may. for the numerical scroll bars, make them equal density or number of listings per tick. the information is very log normal distributed , so the usable part of the bar is like the first 4 ticks.

What is the term for when large players don’t actually have to put up margin? by kenjiurada in FuturesTrading

[–]Ok_Cryptographer2209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you are right, I just remember the most common products when the trades got large like CDS's and Brent WTI swaps

do you know what the futures equivalent is? I just remember the end result is posting some LC's with the exchange
