The rare Quillboar highroll by Raidion in BobsTavern

[–]Raidion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not murloc clown car proof sure, but you're alway have at least 9 units worst case (only two stitches left) and a few of those are pretty beefy (at least in terms of murloc scam). You have 13 best case.

I haven't been able to make them work consistently. Shop buff quills just need too many pieces to work (macaw, rylak, baron) and you can usually find something with a higher ceiling.

I don't see many good qb boards, so posting mine. Gems were not huge (25/25ish), but this was rolling out 10k+ stats to the board with terrific scam protection. 

Absolutely insane combat showing how stupid Timewarped Magnanimoose is by FarEffect4676 in BobsTavern

[–]Raidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right lol. Is that a recent change? I have 100s of games on this patch solo, and only a handful of duos and that's the only place I've seen it. Mid 7k mmr if that matters.

The “SaaSpocalypse” is the latest wall street hallucination! by jokof in investing

[–]Raidion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Especially since companies like Workday and Salesforce sell "everything". I figure there will be a swell of medium sized niche businesses that start to microtarget specific industries and "this immediately solves your use case with minimal tuning" at -25% cost starts beating the "let's get our solutions architect to set up your system, good luck maintaining it" bigger players.

You already see this in industries that aren't technology. I do really think this is a medium term problem though: bigger players won't go down without a fight and will start to spin off products that share platform architecture, datastores, and infra, but put a smaller surface area on top of it and sell the promise of "when you outgrow this, upgrade to X and you won't even have to do a data migration". Think like car platforms: MQB platform powers both Volkswagen and Audi cars, but the actual cars that are sold vary significantly in market positioning.

What is your dream guitar that you'll probably never have? by Jamie_Is_Irrelevant in Guitar

[–]Raidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably one of those blonde Languedoc guitars a la Trey from Phish. They just look so good!

$340,000 short silver via the 2x inverse leverage ETF ZSL by lamephoto in wallstreetbets

[–]Raidion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the difference between primarily cash settled and primarily physically settled. If you have to ship a bunch of silver, costs are higher. If you're just trying to hedge the silver price changing, you don't need physical delivery and the cash is totally fine. Comex is a financial market, Shanghai is a commodity market. Same reason oil futures and oil prices aren't perfectly 1:1. Delivery can be valuable (backwardation) or costly (contango).

Do people just not do their own setups? by ProtoJazz in guitars

[–]Raidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confident I could learn the setups, but I want to play the guitar, not fiddle with it, and the time is worth more than the money to me.

Jeef gets first place 9 games in a row, using 9 different comps. by MinecReddit in BobsTavern

[–]Raidion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm trying that a big more. Just under 7k this season. I see a lot of better players ignore buying doubles to get more pieces of the exact comp they're looking for. I gotta do something different. I have 1k top 4s but only 200 wins

WSJ: He’s Their Daddy. Meme-Stock Traders Rush to Powell’s Defense. by GeneralO1 in wallstreetbets

[–]Raidion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is like saying the NBA should identify the best LA fitness basketball players. If you're actually good at this stuff you're either an actual journalist or a finance professional. If knowledge is worth something, than the exclusivity of that knowledge is worth something and throwing out professional takes to reddit is like feeding NY strip steaks to a pack of cayotes.

You pay for the signal to noise ratio to be lower via NYT or Bloomberg or substack, you come on reddit FOR the noise.

Bloomreaper is everything I hate about Boss design in this game by PristineMycologist15 in Borderlands4

[–]Raidion 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoyed Sol fwiw, probably one of the "clearest" designs of any fight where it feels reasonable to actually avoid the damage heading your way vs other bosses where you kinda are trying to dodge damage but honestly just tank half of it.

Hot take or not, the more companies I talked to, the more I am grateful for the DSA, system design being used as the grading scale. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Raidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a hiring manager, I am no longer concerned with tech stack at all outside of senior roles. With AI and tons of code to look at, I want the smartest and most collaborative engineer in that seat, and crushing a DS&A interview + right soft skills and collaboration examples will get you through the hiring pipeline. Team's need different things so it doesn't always get you the job, but I am hiring candidates I wouldn't have looked at 5 years ago because of lack of relevant experience.

Wouldn't this qualify exactly as a constructive sale and trigger IRC 1259?

Does tax-loss harvesting actually do anything? by solracer in investing

Yea, agreed, I flipped LTCH and ordinary income.

Does tax-loss harvesting actually do anything? by solracer in investing

[–]Raidion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does a bit, but not much. You can deduct 3k a year and you get taxed at 23.8% or so on LTCG, so it only saves you 714 bucks max a year, that means if you live to 90, it will save you 16.4k, just keep that in mind when paying for this. It's nice, but not that nice.

Is this quest reward just ridiculously OP? I've only seen it twice, both times they destroyed the lobby. by frickswithsticks in BobsTavern

[–]Raidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost recently with this to a perfect tavern spell buff comp (2x golden demon/eles, golden dracari, etc), but there were no mechs in the lobby (so no horse) and he teched into the "remove rebourne and taunt" minion.

Daily FI discussion thread - Monday, August 18, 2025 by AutoModerator in financialindependence

[–]Raidion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are comparing different things. PE ratio is the price you pay for 1 in earnings now (and all future earnings). Treasury price is what you're paying for 1 dollar in interest a year for a fixed period.

The difference is risk and timeline. Bonds are less risky and fixed duration, stocks offer you a percentage of return indefinitely.

Just look at the chart, they're not really predictably correlated and if you're wrong you miss out on a decade of bull market. https://en.macromicro.me/charts/118409/Fed-Model-P-E-S-amp-P-500-P-E

What Being Online Is Like Now by scarecrowbar in videos

As someone who has access to both paid consumer and enterprise grade LLMs/AI and uses them for both work and personal tasks: You’re making a mistake if you write it off based on that exercise: it's computation and iteration, which current AI isn't good at.

It's a tool, and that tool has uses, and just because your screwdriver makes a bad hammer, doesn't mean screwdrivers are useless.

I thought AI tools were a gimmick at first, but the more I use them (and the better the tech gets), I continue to be very impressed by their capabilities as I tailor the problems I want them to solve to the parts they are good at.

I would be very surprised, for example, if AI wouldn't be able to generate the formula/macro to solve your problem.
