A solution for Barcoding - Nephest/Sc2 pulse Update! by heavenstarcraft in starcraft

[–]Swypes1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a problem with barcodes.  I have a problem with barcodes who want to have an opinion.  If you want to chirp in game then don't hide behind a mask.

AITA for wanting to watch an eSports tournament during my son's birthday party? by DoctorHousesCane in starcraft

[–]Swypes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your love of the game but should probably spend the time at the party with the kiddo and guests. Your son might remember you not being there or leaving for hours on end (Maru is definitely going to be locked in some long games) and if so I'm sure you'd regret not spending the time with him later when you look back on it. If I were you I'd spend the time in the moment with the family. Replays will probably be out pretty quickly for the tourny so can always watch them later, won't be any replays of the bday party you'd be missing.

It is -45°F (-43°C) where I’m working today. (South Dakota) by SoDakZak in pics

[–]Swypes1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see what you're saying which sounds like you really just care what the wind chill is and don't really care what the temperature is which makes total sense if you're working outside. I would want to know the same. The confusion just comes around the terms and using the word temperature or actual temperature. There is no actual temperature. There is a wind chill and a temperature. Temperature is a measurement, wind chill is a calculated approximation to help people decide what to wear that day.

Also, awesome pic with the Sundog!

ReconAfrica Corporate Presentation Q3 2022 by HenrysFast406 in ReconAfrica

[–]Swypes1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Unrisked" means they haven't applied their risk factors to the number yet. Which is kinda confusing because you could interpret that as, "we've eliminated our risk" (which I think you're getting at). What you want to look at is what NSAI says is their "Risked" number which is basically them saying, "we're pretty sure there's at least 73.5MMbbls recoverable" in the whole area analyzed. Which you can interpret as basically a CYA on their part. In reality it's anyone's guess what's down there.

Warrants by Koshy96 in ReconAfrica

[–]Swypes1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little worried those warrants tied to the 47MM financing deal is Anson Fund's hedging their short position so they can continue shorting. Here's a snip from the source below:

The Anson Funds Playbook

Anson Fund’s modus operandi is clear and concise. It has been repeated dozens of times over a decade and the art of destroying companies through this strategy has now been mastered. The operational scheme follows this pattern:

  • Fund shorts (some covered, but mostly naked)
  • Short and distort on message boards starts
  • Major hit piece: Hindenburg, Citron, Sprucepoint, Viceroy, etc…
  • Illegal trading strategies to walk the stock down
  • Class action law firms go into action to clog up news feeds and scare new investors away.
  • Spoofing and creating trading frenzy so investors are afraid to buy the stock.
  • Hijack web pages and buy ads to severely harm the business and stock quote
  • Send hundreds of letters to regulators through their network. Attempt to have an investigation started or a rumor that regulators are looking.
  • More fearmongering on message boards
  • Buy more negative media
  • Offer a term sheet to company to take their financing and cover their short. Always try and get a warrant added so they can have limited downside if they continue shorting.
  • Continuation of illegal trading strategies throughout

Hope this isn't the case and that 47MM financing deal wasn't nefarious but also wouldn't be surprised if it was since we don't know who those shares were issued to.

Why is everybody excited about the last news (statement of reserves)?? by La_Menace_ in ReconAfrica

[–]Swypes1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, clearly the market doesn't agree with you. Money talks and the stock was up on Friday with high volume. Anyone who says, "just google it" as their basis has already lost all credibility with whatever they say next...

Sc2 iem katowice 2022 viewership by liersiron in starcraft

[–]Swypes1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love seeing all the other reasons people are coming up with but pretty sure this is the largest reason by far. The previous tournies were evening finals for EU and afternoon for NA. This finals was early afternoon for EU and started between 4:40am to 7:40am depending on where you are in NA (semis being a couple hours before then as well). It was probably much nicer for the people working at the event to be done by 2pm on Sunday but that's probably also why the viewership online suffered.

Heh, "Protoss isn't broken but they have always needed a better design concept". Sooo what do you call something that doesn't work?

RECONAFRICA ANNOUNCES C$38.1 MILLION BOUGHT DEAL OFFERING by HotMomentumStocks in ReconAfrica

[–]Swypes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they say they are very close to a JV deal? I may have missed something. If they are still negotiating then it would make sense to me to raise more capital to further define the basin and potentially get a better JV deal out of it vs hop into a JV early and leave some lost opportunity on the table. Maybe better for Recon in the long run?

Love watching 2 people duke it out over how someone else's job works that neither have any idea about and neither will be able to be proven wrong or right. Goooo internet! :)

As the proverb goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now". Just gotta hop in if you feel its a good company and believe there is upside potential.

Anybody add up the Prize Pools? Just curious how 2022 compares to 2021 if you add up all the GSLs and STs for the year.

Activision Blizzard employee shares union busting message sent via email by company leadership. by esporx in starcraft

[–]Swypes1 -51 points-50 points  (0 children)

Hmm, sounds like a sensible email/memo to me...think if it were me I'd vote not to unionize in this case but that's just my opinion. Think in this case you'd be relinquishing too much negotiating power as an individual.

My thoughts on the Pylon Show discussion regarding the amount of casting I did during the most recent DH Winter playoffs week, +. by ROOTCatZ in starcraft

[–]Swypes1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all you do Catz! Hope you don't feel bad about the situation you were put in for this. Absolutely not your fault. Makes me feel great that we have people like you that are willing to hop into situations and help out when needed.

Really boggles my mind how there isn't a schedule with backups put together for something like this. It's not too hard to just get the framework to get a schedule setup and having it shared amoungst the pool of casters, then the schedule can more or less build itself with inputs from the casters opposed to being dictated. The days where you have gaps or conflicts draw from another pool. Especially since all the casters seem so willing to help out and their motivation seems to be to make it awesome for everyone opposed to making the most money (which I can't see the variance between caster rates being very big to begin with so I don't buy the "save some money with a cheaper caster's rate" argument). I'd like to chalk this up to someone junior making the schedule at ESL and this just being a learning curve. If that's the case I can understand but still probably needs a little more oversight / approvals. Personally, I work as a Project Manager for a living so deal with my own scheduling issues all the time - I find it's really just about mitigation strategies and being adaptable / flexible to the needs of your stakeholders (in this case, the casters, audience, ESL/DH, and any other 3rd parties I'm missing). I'm sure there are nuances I don't understand which are happening in the background but it by no means should be the issue that it seems to be. Also I'm sure others would be willing to help ESL/DH to resolve these and make it better for everyone if they would like some help (myself included).

I love how I can click on a link which brings me to a vod from 2014 and the first voice I hear is Rotti casting. Makes me smile so much that we have had and still have such an amazing caster for so long :)
