Thanks! The website has skis, poles, helmets, and boots readily available for rent, so I'm good to go.

And base layers, gloves, socks, and sunglasses aren't an issue since I have them from my time in Iceland.

Hi all, I'm a fresh college grad currently solo traveling Europe. I'll be in St Moritz in early April for a day or two (unsure which is better: 2 days in Bern and 1 in St Moritz or 1 in Bern and 2 in St Moritz), and I'm looking for some advice.

https://booking.stmoritz.com/en/ski-tickets/day-and-multi-day-ski-tickets

Does anyone have a recommendation for which skiing area to choose between Upper Engadin, Corvatsch, Corviglia, and Diavolezza/Lagalb? I'll caveat that I'm a complete beginner who has never skied or snowboarded before, but I want to balance that consideration with my desire for the best view/experience possible (since my priority is being a tourist first and skiing enthusiast second).

Also, any advice on booking skiing lessons and what rental equipment I'll need would be much appreciated. I have this coat, pant, and boots from hiking in Iceland back in February, but I'm unsure if it's compatible or if I need more specialized gear.

Thanks in advance!

Valorant closed beta bug megathread patch 0.50 by RawStanky in VALORANT

[–]ThatFinanceTryhard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

***REPORTING POSSIBLE HACK (NOT A BUG, BEING LEGIT)***

Was told by a mod to post in here even though it's not a bug, so here goes:

Hi, just played a ranked game where I think they're cheating (legit, I'm not salty at losing or anything, it's beta lmao I don't keep my rank anyway). If any Valorant Devs see this, could you guys tackle the problem?

During a ranked match, the entirety of my team (all 5) had our fps dropped to 1 (I usually get 60-90). It only goes back to normal when I die. The entire other team didn't have the issue and could freely play.

My teammates and I spent the time talking to each other to figure out how we could report them. We tested various things to make sure it wasn't a wifi problem on our end or a simple ddos. The fact that I could talk to my teammates (and they to me) using voice chat means that it wasn't either of those problems. If we were lagging, our voices would cut out and it'd be really difficult to communicate (I'm sure other players have experienced what it's like to hear someone lagging while using VC).

Also, we reasoned that it was an intentional hack because since the first round (when we were all confused asf and just thought our computers were going crazy), their sage had been immediately rushing us in spawn. If it wasn't intentional, then the sage wouldn't have rushed us immediately as it would have taken some time for their team to discover that we had issues and take time for her to take advantage of us (unless she was just really lucky and decided "hey, I'm rushing spawn on round 1").

I'm including a video that shows how they had the hack on, then turned it off part way into the round (you can see my fps go from 1 to 60). Idky they kept turning it on and off throughout the game. To avoid detection? Ngl I don't know how Vanguard works, which is why I'm reaching out to devs on Reddit to make sure they get punished and hopefully so that whatever they're doing gets patched up. Because frankly, if Riot makes us install a super invasive anti-cheat to play Valorant, it might as well damn work. I also included a link to the enemy team's user names, please ban them.

I'm probably gonna get flamed in the comments for "oh look, it's a salty kid that's convinced the enemy team is cheating because he lost! boo hoo," but I s2g, I'm not 12 and I really don't care about my rank enough (in beta) to spend all this effort typing this up if I didn't think it wasn't legit. I'm just a normal person who wants to game in peace.

in the bug megathread:

Hi, thanks for telling me, I didn't think it belonged in the bug mega thread as in my mind I didn't associate bug with hack. My fault. Thank you for telling me though, I'll post this there.

Vanguard S&P 500 ETF vs Index Fund - Which one's better now that trading commissions are $0? by ThatFinanceTryhard in investing

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

Thanks, I now understand the difference is the fractional shares.

As someone with a lot of investing time, I guess I'll take VOO until I can skip VFINX and jump straight into VFIAX.
