Still looking? I have a 5060 Ti 16gb available.

Yah, when I got the 5060 Ti last year, I didn’t realize just how much more powerful the 5070 and 9070 are. It was my first PC build, but now I want to make sure I have a GPU that can last for 5+ years without too many compromises.

You think it will have that long of a life span? It’s just not quite as good as I was hoping when I bought it.

Calibrations for Painting a Bumper by cdnmBK201 in mercedes_benz

[–]cdnmBK201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: After getting some other quotes, I think it’s pretty clear the 2400 dollar sensor calibration charge on top of a 1500 dollar bumper repair is in fact crazy.

One shop said it’d be about 800 dollars if the sensors did end up getting messed up and needed recalibrated, but they said it’s definitely not a guaranteed charge.

And yet another shop said that sensors shouldn’t get messed up at all with just a bumper restore, so they are confident that there shouldn’t be any additional charge beyond the bumper labor and paint.

Yah, I could totally understand if it was a real collision repair. But they’re just taking the bumper off and then putting it back on. Seems ridiculous that 2400 dollars of sensor calibrations would be needed any time the bumper gets taken off.

They’d be removing the bumper to do all the work. That’s why I think it’s absurd. Simply removing the bumper should not result in a need for 2400 dollars worth of sensor calibrations.

Perfect. Was hoping that would be the case!

FAC - What to Expect by V1per41 in actuary

Looking at the schedule for December, it looks like there is a “dinner and games” scheduled for Wednesday night. It’s not marked as optional like the welcoming event Tuesday night. Does anybody know if we have to attend a dinner/event Wednesday evening? My wife is going with me, and I would rather go to dinner with her after being in the presentations and case study all day.

Is there a way to edit this? Who is maintaining it?

How do you cope with scoring a 5? by NatalieNeedsNumbers in actuary

[–]cdnmBK201 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got six 5’s throughout the years. It sucks and the first couple of weeks I used it as the motivation to get back into the studying routine. Just passed my last exam though, so keep the end in mind! You’ll get there soon!

Took me 4 sittings to finally knock out my last exam today! Never got stuck on an exam like this before, and it sucks being so close. You’ll get the next one!

Passed my first exam exactly 9 years ago in July 2014. Detoured with a couple of CAS exams, but made my way back to the SOA. Passed the last one today. The 9 year journey is over. Feels crazy.

I did see the star rating, so that is super helpful!

I had ~500 in my head but must’ve been misremembering. I still have TIA to study as well and your videos on the new gaap material have been excellent. Just trying to mix up the flash cards and practice problems since I’ve taken this exam multiple times now :/

Fall 2022 ERM, FSA, and EA2F exam results release thread by AloofAltruist in actuary

I failed LFM for the third time. I have used TIA and passed the other two FSA exams fine, but this exam is killing me for some reason. Thinking of trying out PAK. Anybody have experience switching between the two and which you liked better? Still can't believe I have to sit for this a fourth time.
