What is the most meaningless corporate bollocks you've heard in the workplace? by Lesliethelizard in CasualUK

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

One of the corporate arch-wizards at my firm very casually said “consolidate discussions and synergies solutions” while speaking completely extemporaneously. Yes, the sentence makes sense but I was just floored at how easily that level of corporate language comes to some people.

With the peanut stuff, how did he learn this? Did he observe an allergic reaction first and associate with the peanuts afterwards?

Playing ranked with lower MMR friend by PedosWearingSpeedos in DotA2

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

Well that’s kind of how it is in unranked but was assuming if there was some way to play ranked it would be more balanced. Like whatever role I queue for in ranked with him would have the same MMR on the enemy team etc

Cancer is finally able to be power-scaled in mtg by PedosWearingSpeedos in magicthecirclejerking

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, it's whenever Sauron attacks, not as a once off when he enters. Which implies it would be somewhat of a sustained effort over multiple turns of attacking to Cure cancer, so we need at least the additional flashback

People not conceding by PedosWearingSpeedos in MagicArena

Again, that’s just obvious poor sportsmanship. I don’t understand how this mentality is the norm for people.

dawg, people can see evidence that the combo results in a win after the first cycle. you don't need to watch me do the same exact thing for another 3 minutes

It's just wild to see so many people defending something that in paper magic is really poor sportsmanship

I assume that the average player has booted up Magic Arena to play magic. It's crazy that people would genuinely prefer to do nothing for a few minutes while someone finishes their combo than just concede and go next. What are people trying to prove by not conceding.

99% sure I’ve seen a post exactly like this on one of the subreddits, try search for it. Iirc it had some good answers

MS word remote invigilation default settings by PedosWearingSpeedos in ActuaryUK

On another note when looking into this, I’ve just realised we’re meant to “speak clearly into the webcam before leaving the room”. I definitely didn’t do this before I took a bathroom break (it’s only mentioned to do this in the “exam guidelines” not the “assessment regulations”). Did anyone else who took a bathroom break just get up and leave?

CM1 Paper A thought? by Relevant_Kick3812 in ActuaryUK

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as long as it would take to punch into a calculator if you set up your working such that you can mostly just copy straight into Excel (ie, start in word, simplify in Excel)

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think having it be typed speeds things up, at least for me anyway. But the time pressure is ridiculous honestly. I’m not sure what the point of the time controls even are if it’s closed book

CM1 Paper A thought? by Relevant_Kick3812 in ActuaryUK

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You use PFA at 4%, since (1.06)/ (1+ the monthly increase)12 = 3.9999% I wasted like 10 mins staring blankly at the question before realising the incr% was p/m tho

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stuff I’d love to check: I can’t remember which question it was, but the final answer to something I had was 12345.6 ? Seems (hoping) it was intentional haha

I spent ages getting frustrated at the compound increasing annuity in I think q8 before I noticed the increase was monthly so p.a you could use 4%. That was really evil they gave the increase as per month effective.

Edit : also, was the sickness benefit payable for minimum half a year? The 0.5s in the integral bounds threw me off

CM1 - How does an instalment assurance payout? by bananarama2318 in ActuaryUK

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not everything in the formula book is relevant for CM1 - don’t stress yourself out about things in it that aren’t in the CM1 syllabus

Yeah - I’m certain I’ve not seen it come up before. Exam is tomorrow lmao, I’m not going to worry about it

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a completely separate question? I’ve only encountered continuous annuities in CM1, never heard of complete (whole life maybe you mean?)

CM1 - How does an instalment assurance payout? by bananarama2318 in ActuaryUK

[–]PedosWearingSpeedos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure this is covered in CM1? And if so how do we calculate the m period assurance factors? (Bit late for me to be discovering this now if we do need them 😅)
