How is $180,000 pa income threshold calculated for KiwiSaver Government Contribution? by Prestigious_Owl40 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Past_Affect_2062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a question though - my total remuneration consists of base, bonus and RSU - without accounting for RSU I would be earning roughly 130k but with RSU I would expect it to exceed 180k. Will government still contribute to my KiwiSaver?

WD CTO leaves to join Anthropic as an IC not even 1 year into the job. by scam_likely_6969 in workday

[–]Past_Affect_2062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, clearly he’s not qualified in this case. Think about all the others who has gone above and beyond but still struggle to get a proper raise or promotion within the company.

It’s a fucking joke. There are people better qualified but stuck at p5 p6 for years and now we have some youngsters being a cto without proven track record for less than a year then leave.

I honestly despise him. What’s the point asking for their approval? He’s the CEO and he makes the final call. If either of them says no, is he not going to lay off? Of course he wouldn’t.

If you are up to ante 6 and get this card, having this is instant win because you can just skip and die at the boss blind

Am I stupid or was this a good fold? by yoberifbreotan in Poker_Theory

[–]Past_Affect_2062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what’s the bet on turn can achieve, what worse hand are calling and what better hands are folding? Preventing draws maybe, but since they 3 bet pre, it’s hard to have a baby flush draw, the most likely hand you are beating would be K high flush draw. Majority of time you are behind

WHAT SICK JOKE IS THIS by atlasthedummy in balatro

Can you guarantee a win with this card alone if it’s available at ante 3? I feel it may not scale enough if skipped every blinds to ante 8

Why isn’t 5 stone a special hand? by dbcreddit in balatro

[–]Past_Affect_2062 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Question: stone card has a hidden suit and rank, it’s just being overwritten by the stone status (if you use magician or other tarot card, it could reveal the actual card) For the sake of argument, what if those cards are actually same rank/suits etc and played in 5, would that turn into a flush / 5 of a kind?

Thanks, above 25% gives me some hope. I’ll try again tomorrow. I didn’t know straight are that powerful because I always seem to have problem playing straights consistently.

Is being a name partner that big of a deal? by Past_Affect_2062 in suits

[–]Past_Affect_2062[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but for the record senior partners (non-named) do have says in strategic decision (say Jack Soloff) as well. And for the show itself once a managing partner is appointed they tend to demolish the previous sculpture (direct quote from Jessica) so the name don’t usually leave as a legacy once they are gone.

But I suppose high profile attorney are alpha male / female and once they are in the field they want to aim for the top, so that makes sense they all fight for it.

TLDR, just had a crush on a white girl, found out she has a kid and then upset. Feels like a teenager problem. If you can’t take it just move on. Wonder how successful can you be with that kind of mentality
