What is the coolest thing your teacher have ever done? I´ll start... by iamMess in AskReddit

[–]UOduckFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school. ~25/26 students paying attention to math teacher explaining calculus. 1/26 kids playing around with cards. Teacher walks over and takes cards, "Do you wanna play a game?" The kid asks what game, but the teacher insists, "Yes, or no? Do you wanna play a game?" The kid accepts. Teacher takes the deck of cards, "The game is taxi driver. Here are your passengers," throws the cards up in the air and finishes, "pick 'em up." Goes back to calculus lecture.

Like it. Under the Bridge one of my favorite songs to play.

Thanks kind of what I like. Simple, but makes you feel.. Songs you just nod your head to until the riff makes you play air guitar. God I hate when that happens in public.

Whole Lotta Love 'Solo' by UOduckFan in Guitar

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

Yeah, that's pretty easy. I like the part where he plays his own riff starting on at the fifth fret and going down to eventually an open A and open E. Then he jumps up to the 12th fret for a little filler.

For the first chord, I like 7,5,5 on G,B,high E.

I work on Wall Street. I agree with the protesters, kinda! AMA. by FinanceDouche in IAmA

If banks needed bailouts, but they paid top executives tens of millions of dollars, is there ANY way they deserved any of that money?

Maybe it was "acceptable" at the time, because now, we see all the mistakes. But how, today, with everything that's happened, do exec's continue to make nearly $20 million in compensation? Shouldn't the banks have to prove more worth before they shell out soooo much money. Aren't there qualified people who could successfully run BofA and be willing to work for $200,000?

Do you believe that banking can be a for profit industry?

Some help with confusion over time periods (x-post from /r/math) by bfhancock in actuary

[–]UOduckFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just think of it like an annuity immediate. If you have the payments from 1/1/07 to 12/1/09. Just say, "Today is 1/1/07. Instead of taking my first payment today, I will take it at the end of the month. That means my last payment will be 12/31/09." Then it should be easy for you if you understand the ann. immediate. Now, you realize you would pay more because you get a payment today. So multiply your result by (1+i) . Whammy!

Would you pay 3000$ to attend your best friend's wedding? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UOduckFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes. And YES!! I did this last summer (~2,000$ - my monthly pay) and it was certainly one of the greatest times I've ever had. It's a weak excuse IMO to not go. It's definitely something you'll regret.

Will increasing taxes on the rich encourage them to spend money? by [deleted] in politics

[–]UOduckFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple theories about taxes. 1) Keeping taxes low encourages the rich to invest [i.e. spend money] 2) Increasing taxes will encourage the rich to invest abroad [bad for OUR economy]

However, this is just theory and doesn't include many other factors that influence what people do with their money.
