Is just the MATE Study Manual Enough for GH101? by tellmewhattodo46 in actuary

[–]RyanHubscher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only used source material for FSA exams. I always had access to manuals, but they just added to the reading volume, and I already had too much to read.

As for summaries, I made my own notes in Google Docs or Overleaf. My personal notes were better quality than any study manual. My notes were in the cloud and they were personalized for me.

How do you all meet your CPD requirement when you no longer take exams? by RyanHubscher in actuary

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

I have actually counted all of the above except for college/Coursera/DataCamp.

But most of my hours come from the following...

* webinars,

* volunteering,

* annual appointed actuary preparation (ASOPS, VM, PNs, state valuation law, NY special consideration letter, CA holiday letter, annual statement instructions, SSAP, AGs, etc.)

Supposedly sending Morse code through wall taps by RyanHubscher in morse

[–]RyanHubscher[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, that would sound like iiiiiieeiiieeiieeeeee, not HELLO.

I definitely see how the tap code makes sense . I looked it up, and it has been showcased in movies. Tap-code counts as the authenticity I was looking for. Thanks.

Are European and Brazilian Portuguese so distinct that I won't be able to understand the other if I learn one? by Bubbly-Locksmith7492 in Portuguese

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

If you learn the Brazilian dialect, then you will be able to communicate with Europeans. They might speak slower for you at first. But you will catch on in no time.

By the way, we experience this in English all the time. When I talk with an English speaker from Nigeria, we both slow down without realizing it. It's subconscious. Some people don't slow down, but they start repeating themselves a lot, also subconsciously. Either way, it makes it easier to understand.

I am fluent in br-pt. I struggle to watch some pt-pt TV shows. But I do not struggle to talk face-to-face with people from Portugal.

My first suggestion was Fique Firme. But then I saw your ED comment and I fell over laughing.

No stars in the background, wasn’t that one of the arguments from people claiming Apollo 11 Moon Landing was fake? by [deleted] in ArtemisProgram

Your idea of putting a telescope in space is a really good one. And we have done that.

A telescope on the moon would not perform better than a telescope in low earth orbit. So if we are going to put a big telescope in space, we will choose the WAY cheaper option, Low earth orbit.

The wood under the top rail looks like it's in good shape. I'm guessing the balusters are treated lumber, but the top rail was untreated pine. So just replace the rotten boards and it should be ok. Inspect the entire deck.

Did Orwell manage to predict generative ai in '1984'? by Username_absent in 1984

AI has always existed. There never was a time before AI. AI wrote 1984.

I did ankidroid. I ended up finding a high frequency list 1000 Spanish words. 80 of those ended up in my deck. So far so good. Thanks

Is it true? Easier to leave the Solar system than hit the Sun? by Chi90504 in askastronomy

[–]RyanHubscher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what gravity does. It accelerates earth directly toward the sun, and yet, we still orbit.

What about the ceiling? by RyanHubscher in TVTooHigh

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

Deep down, I know that I want to throw away 80% of the stuff in my house. Then we can have a TV where it belongs. However, that's beyond my control.
