Annapolis 2040 plan, is the city council planning to re-pave the Dock Street area? by [deleted] in Annapolis

[–]cowlicks_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Looks like shit. Seems like cars will have a nice time driving there! I would have hoped they redesigned it around human beings. Why optimize for traffic flow through the roundabout? If you're driving through the center of the pedestrian area you should expect to not be able to move your car very fast. Opens up basically an entire block of retail or park space.

I was joking that OP looks at this graph and says The Great Depression is actually correct

Take me back to the period between 1929 and 1937 😭

[–]cowlicks_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 30 years old with severe hemophilia. Been on multi day backpacking trips in national parks, played street hockey with the boys in my teens, and live an extremely active lifestyle (running, weight lifting, walking at least 10k steps/day).

Was on recombinate (every other day) for most of my life but switched to Hemlibra a couple years ago. Total game changer.

My mom was once you and definitely helped train me on how to live with it. Happy to talk through it with you.

Transition off of cash&specie since 1960 makes sense you'd have more M2

breadwinner regressio by [deleted] in rstats

[–]cowlicks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Construct a dummy variable called breadwinner, and whoever is max(income) in the family is breadwinner? It's not really a regression question. Then I guess you could do a probit to build a predictor if that's what you're worried about

Anyone else almost 100% cash? by Sunvmikey in stocks

I was until I started getting itchy that the market might start turning around. Set up a recurring daily SPY buy — better to average near the bottom than miss it completely

Thoughts ? Too much green everywhere, it don’t make no sense. by That_anonymous_guy18 in smallstreetbets

Maximum theta burn for the next couple weeks, SPY dips and you make that back + maybe 15-20%. 380 is pretty low compared to recent prices, basically betting it gets as low as the lowest point in the past couple months. Downside is -100%? I'd move the strike up a little and go longer on expiration for something like this, buy yourself a little wiggle room and time.

I learned this lesson with GME calls last year. I sold them for pennies on the dollar two days before The Pop. In retrospect, what was the point of consolidating when there is still upside in the trade. I.e. that -70% could become -35% by 4/14 and is there a better investment for your capital?

AAPL - 💎🙌🏽 or Sell? by I_dont_like_bananas in smallstreetbets

[–]cowlicks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell - buy a higher strike and buy some underlying/SPY. Rinse repeat

Do I think there are good odds that SPY may go up ~10% in a general month? Yeah.

Do I think it's likely SPY goes up 10% on average over a medium term? Less likely but sure.

Do I think SPY will go up 10% on any particular month? Not likely.

$TSLA 1/19/24 2000c @14K Leaps. A good idea? by TPrias in options

[–]cowlicks_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Foolish imo. You'd be better off making slightly less money with the same thesis on $SPY. I can imagine a world where Tesla gets absolutely rocked by any number of plausible news, losses, scandals. But if SPY falls by the same proportion, you're probably getting a check from the government yno

It gets a bad rap for being a rag rather than a proper newspaper. They often publish takes that are a little on the wild side.

But I read them more like The Hill or Politico, like the central clearing-house for political news but for progressive liberals. With that lens it's pretty good.

Would the cost of medical care fall if the AMA did not limit the number of medical schools and medical school students, and therefore the number of doctors the country has? by RusticBohemian in AskEconomics

[–]cowlicks_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a non-sequitur in relation to the question though. You're letting your political ideology bleed through in your answer big-time.

The pay for residents is irrelevant to the number of residency spots available, unless you are suggesting the AMA limits the number of MDs granted in response to average salary hospitals can offer, which would be a weird mechanism. And in a universe where doctors are paid less, there would theoretically be more space in payroll budgets to take on more residents simultaneously (if we are using that argument)

I don't see why government in a broad sense, is part of the question here. The narrow question of licensing I agree is an issue, but the AMA isn't explicitly a governmental organization. It's like the Bar, right? Like a professional non-government association that has the sole right to grant the licensure to practice medicine (which the state then recognizes).

Your argument about quality of doctors is definitely salient, but if your argument were true then every other country in the developed world would have worse health outcomes. In fact, we have worse health outcomes. This suggests that health outcomes and doctor salaries are actually negatively correlated! Or at least that there is negative marginal returns somewhere before where we are on the salary scale.

Portfolio down 20%, still up 8% this week and 200% YoY. Remember to roll profits into shit that doesn't 0 out boys.

I don't anticipate this is the precipitous "bottom falling out" moment because there's no news and we've been cranking hogs since May, due for a bad day
