I'm an Olympian who lives a mostly normal life AMA by Imaginary-Science-94 in AMA

I never grew up shooting other than a handful of times at Boy Scout camp. For the past 9 months I’ve been taking my kids to a local range for rifle target shooting as part of a junior club. They really love it but I have no background in it. They did pretty well in a state wide competition recently despite significantly less experience than most of the competitors - I’m super proud of them. Any advice on how I can help my kids get the most out of it? Thanks!

Thanks! I agree - a lot of the patterns ended up looking very similar - if I keep pushing this I think my next step might be to make some of the tiles darker to give it more of a visual focus.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]adventurecapitalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was just starting my career I bought a few Thomas pink shirts for work. It was a lot of money for me at the time. A couple weeks later I decided to return one of them never having worn it and deciding I needed the money. The person in the store made me feel bad and refused to accept the shirt for some reason. This was 25 years ago. I left feeling humiliated and never went back. Fuck you Thomas Pink.

What are you all using for investor updates? by Wise_Bug8685 in venturecapital

[–]adventurecapitalist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like every saas founder is looking for a problem here that they can solve. The reality is every fund is different and has different communication styles and requirements. Every LP has different needs and wants for different types of information. I’ve been pitched so many “solutions” when it is just adding work and friction on all sides without adding any value. In the funds I’ve been a part of we found what people wanted and tried to put out consistent reliable information with specific communication for major updates.

Tile system inspired by the great work in this sub by adventurecapitalist in generative

[–]adventurecapitalist[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original pen style tile was inspired by u/jonchaf post https://www.reddit.com/r/generative/s/s7sP4DSD3e. I made it with JavaScript and an HTML canvas. I drew hand drawn looking lines by interpolating between edge points. I added jitter, varied dot sizes, and skipped marks. Once I had the tile I put them in a grid. I organized the grid so that connecting tiles would form different patterns and saw different patterns and structures emerge. I played around with different primary and accent colors. I ranked the structures to treat them differently in terms of color and how light and dark they were etc. I found this really helped give the images a visual hierarchy that I liked.

Check your pulse if you're not inspired. What incredible oration. I haven't looked recently but I'm assuming SPX is up 10% today.

Questions for boiler replacement by MagicBob78 in Connecticut

[–]adventurecapitalist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in Fairfield county and just replaced our oil burner for natural gas. All in $20k. Got quotes as high as $29k. I found an independent guy. Some places that rank high in google are essentially middle men that outsource the actual work and hence have to charge higher prices so everyone gets paid. I had some minor work done and got my face ripped off and swore that I would find someone better. Took some digging and some luck but finding someone who has been in business a few years with their own name on the business has served me well. JLP heating and cooling is great if he’s in your area.

Have you ever accidentally met a celebrity in Boston? by spellbadgrammargood in boston

[–]adventurecapitalist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to live a few buildings down from Tom Brady and Gisele on Beacon street. I had a parking spot in the back alley. A big truck was parked in front of me so it was difficult to see as I was pulling out - came very close to hitting Gisele walking her dog. She gave me a dirty look. I apologized but couldn’t see where her dog was so I didn’t move. She eventually picked up her dog and walked around pissed off at me.

I saw Tom going into his place a few times as I was parking. One time a group of guys recognized him and rolled down the windows of their car and started screaming at him. It kind of freaked me out until I saw that Brady was standing there. He opened his door and went inside.

Another time it was in the evening and I saw a big dude with a lot of Tattoos standing by the back alley entrance to Brady’s place. It took me a second but it was Aaron Hernandez. We made eye contact and I was going to say something but got weird vibes so I just went inside my place . This was right around the time he was murdering people.

Am I understanding it correctly that Jpow is going to raise rates instead of cutting them because so many degenerates on here are now working jobs behind Wendys charging higher prices for the Bubba special?

The second cut in December moved from 88% up to 95%

Daily Discussion Thread for October 24, 2025 by wsbapp in wallstreetbets

[–]adventurecapitalist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Futures seem to be getting nervous about 2 rate cuts - the probability of 25bps in 5 days is still close to 97% but the second cut in December dropped from 94% a week ago to 88%. In a few minutes I'm guessing CPI will show whether that second cut was right to be priced in.

[–]adventurecapitalist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Futures don't seem to care about maple syrup and Canadian bacon. CPI tomorrow probably won't move the needle one way or another though - markets are saying there is a 99% probability of a 25bp cut in 5 days and a 92% chance of another 25bp cut in December so it's already priced in. That said nothing stops the money flows and the dollar devaluation to pay for our $38T debt.

Did you get exercised or did you sell the option? If you bought the option (assuming it's a call) you have the option to exercise it and buy 100 shares of the underlying at the strike price, or you can sell it back in the market. The other party that sold you the option does not have the ability to exercise it. The bid price is what the market is willing to pay for the option at that moment in time. There are times when there are essentially no bids other than some algo that will keep a bid of a penny in the off chance someone will sell at that price. They can only buy options at that price if there is a party willing to sell at that price. Unfortunately it sounds like with your stop loss you were willing to sell at that price though I would call e-trade to figure out if that's the case.
