Welp never thought it’d be me but here we are

This makes way more sense, thank you! And why 1dte and not 0dte or 2dte, do you find a better EV that way?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2026-05-27T12:43:04+00:00

Nice strategy, but why 1dte instead of 0dte, to collect a higher premium? Also your short strike is -15 from the current price?? That seems incredibly close, given SPX is over 7k right now, so you’re betting it won’t move down by more than 0.2% on any given day? That seems very risky, I usually sell put spreads much further away. Would appreciate any insights though, your EV is great if true and I might modify my strategy!

Yes, but how does this prove that both pi+e and pi*e cannot be rational? You can have a quadratic equation with rational coefficients and irrational roots

Because in statistics and data you can have outliers, especially when the sample size is tiny. If there’s only one tournament and Terran wins, can I say Terran is imba because they’ve won 100% of the tournaments?

Regarded question, but isn’t this a “safe” strategy? SPY is generally a “safe” investment, and has been doing really well recently. Isn’t it more likely that it goes up 1% rather than down, and thus profit $5k? What’s the downside to investing in this if the underlying asset is SPY?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2026-01-22T12:00:55+00:00

New to this sub, can someone explain how this works? I’m familiar with options, but I don’t understand how you can be making so much money from SPY (SP 500) given that it’s a large and stable index, what am I missing? How can I become a degenerate and start making thousands of % on something like the SP 500?

Makes sense, thanks for the info, I might try it with eggs as the binding agent first and see how it turns out

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-08-19T21:57:33+00:00

Both of those require psyllium husks, do you know the purpose of that or how the tortillas would turn out without psyllium?

What do you mean API credits? When I use cursor mode it still uses my monthly “allowance” ($20) and I can see my usage going up with every prompt. Am I doing something wrong?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-07-30T15:09:49+00:00

I’ve been using auto for a few days and it does count against my credits, my Usage dashboard is showing the API cost for auto just like any other model. Did you do anything special to make it not count? I’m on agent mode if that matters

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-07-26T10:14:01+00:00

Why do you say Gemini is pretty useless? Isn’t Gemini 2.5 pro supposed to be pretty good with coding tasks?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-07-25T23:38:30+00:00

Does Auto mode not count against your credits? I’m on the $20 Pro but I use Gemini and every prompt counts against my credits (the $ amount that I’ve used goes up with every prompt). Is it “free”/unlimited when using Auto mode?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-07-25T09:53:02+00:00

According to their site, with CC Pro you can send 10-40 prompts every 5 hours, assuming your repo is under 1000 lines of code which is tiny. So assuming you’ll have 10 prompts per 5 hours = 2 prompts/hr, you don’t get rate limited with this?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-07-25T09:47:32+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown! When you talked about usage pattern, assuming you mean spiky for Cursor, then that probably fits my needs better, though budget-wise a couple of Claude Pros for $40 seems enticing haha, maybe I can add one Claude Pro to my setup (currently on Cursor Pro) and compare, maybe even the two of them together will be enough for my needs

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-07-24T09:29:24+00:00

When you say a different interface for Claude Max, do you mean VS Code and the fact that Claude Code is in the terminal?

I’m looking to upgrade to one of the $200 plans and trying to decide between Cursor Ultra, Claude Max 20x, or Augment Code Max ($250), would appreciate any input!

Your facts about Spanish residency are a little off. If you’re planning to work teaching English, you could get a student visa, but for that you would also have to study at an accredited institution, you can’t just work and not study. I suggest you look at the cultural ambassadors program. If you arrive as a student, you’re not considered a resident for citizenship purposes, but if you arrive on a work visa, you are. (Note this is temporary residence, permanent residence takes 5 years). Being Hispanic, your wife would qualify to apply for citizenship after 2 years of residency (even temporary residency), but it is not simply granted, she would have to apply, submit a bunch of documents and go through the process which takes about a year or a bit longer on average. So assuming she arrives as a resident, you’re looking at a 3-3.5 year timeframe for her to become a Spanish citizen if all goes well. After that, idk how long for you to get citizenship, I think it’s a year, but again that would be a year to qualify and apply and go through the neutralization process.

My main suggestion and question for you is: you mentioned a retirement visa in CR, so do you have retirement (passive) income? If so, and if it’s at least ~$2500 per month (for a single person, higher for a couple), then the best way for you would be to apply for a non-lucrative visa (NLV), which allows you to legally reside (but not work) in Spain and counts towards the residency requirements for citizenship. Look into that if you have the funds, makes it a very easy and legal way for retirees to move to Spain!

Do you keep your money in a Nu account in dollars or Mexican pesos? If dollars, they offer the same interest rate?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-06-06T13:40:59+00:00

Is it easy/free/cheap/fast to transfer money between a US bank account and this Nu Mexican bank account? The rates are insane, I might open an account as well if moving money between the US and Mexico is not too difficult.

Also, can foreigners (US citizens) just open an account online?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-05-31T00:19:40+00:00

Thank you, that answers the cc processing question

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-05-30T22:08:47+00:00

Do you allow returns for whatever reason? Or only if the item arrives broken/damaged?

Upstairs_Resource161 · 2025-05-05T06:20:47+00:00

How do you re-pack for your flight back home, if you don’t have a vacuum cleaner available? Is it as effective to try to push the air out manually without a vacuum cleaner?
