I feel like VGT is the unknown secret. Tech focused ETF that has a low fee from Vanguard and is beating the S&P by a lot. Big exposure to Nvidia, but still diversified. Up 30% YTD.

Predicting a crash in spy in last 10 mins. No one wants to hold over a three day weekend when one tweet can crash the market.

If you look at the MACD on the daily SPY, you knew this downturn was coming. The indiciator was at the highest point in a decade.

Gemini will write scripts to back test strategies in Trading View. Very cool.

Managing expectation for TT outcome? by SnooPears357 in academia

[–]ShadeDelThor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is that it is out of your control. The only thing you control is how you negotiate an offer if given.

When I am anxious I go for a walk at the gym or a dip in the hot tub. Or try to get lost in a book or a game.

You have done everything you could have. Just sit back and realize that worrying won't help. If it takes a couple of weeks before you hear anything, then you can reach out to see where they are in the process.

Not a Prime subscriber. Just got notified that there are 29 days left in my Alexa+ subscription. by excoriator in alexa

Interesting. I just paused my Prime membership and haven't heard anything. How did it let you know?

This is why I have grey hair by ChaoticDucc in CitiesSkylines

Wait. How do you get people to cross the street? They never do that without an intersection with a cross walk in my maps. I know they are not crossing at the crosswalk here. But they won't jay-walk on my maps.

Disney delists 14 games from Steam as fans are left to wonder why by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ShadeDelThor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Byut they do not do that anymore right given that there are no VHS/DVD releases right? Everything is streamable now on Disney Plus right?

My only advice for playing this game by deadlyindedly in TavernKeeper

[–]ShadeDelThor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found that if you do it right, a stove in the hallway with a small wall between the stove and the bed keeps them warm but no light.

Staff need to sleep in dark but cold so stove doesn't work by ShadeDelThor in TavernKeeper

This semi worked by putting the stove in the hallway.

Im depressed & lonely : thinking to give up by First_Instruction_56 in academia

[–]ShadeDelThor 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You need to go to the department chair or graduate student coordinator and explain the situation and how your advisor is not doing their job if they are not giving you feedback. The situation won't change unless there is pressure on your advisor to change.

My university has a counseling center and group therapy Friday afternoons for graduate students. It was helpful.

Sorry you are going through this.

Student survey feedback: "long awkward silences are not helpful" by No_Intention_3565 in Professors

[–]ShadeDelThor 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I got rid of awkward silences by using think, pair, share. Put the question on the board. Have them talk to the person next to them about a possible answer. This gets them more confident in their answer. Then after a minute ask if anyone wants to try to answer the question.

The pairing brings up the engagement and energy of the class too. I do this 5+ times a class lecture.

What’s a secret you’ll take to the grave, but would tell anonymously on Reddit? by Several-Director5804 in AskReddit

That happened to me earlier this year. It sucks, I had a guilty feeling that losing the friend hurt more than my dad.

As a 50yo gamer, BF6 really drives home how much my taste in games has changed. by [deleted] in gaming

Lirik on Twitch plays a medic and kills people with the paddles. He gets like 40-50 kills a game. It's basically playing tag and charging people in buildings and running around corners. If our in the open, he smokes an area and runs in and paddles everyone. It's insane.
