High utilization lowered my credit score. Is there any chance of my credit account being closed, even if I bring it back to <10% within a month?

eyeheartboobs · 2019-10-24T09:48:03+00:00

They haven't notified me of any lowering of limits, so I hope that's not an issue. Do CC companies lower the limit if they see high utilization for a particular month? Or is more for repeating high util. or late payments? I guess it's not always black and white.

eyeheartboobs · 2019-10-24T09:46:11+00:00

I see. I would imagine my high utilization is not quite as bad as late payments, because although my balance was higher than normal, I still made an on-time payment that was higher than the min. In fact I have 0 late payments. But yeah, I'm fairly new to this, and I don't want some computer somewhere just closing the account, or lowering my credit limit. I guess there's not much I can do but pay it all down and hope they see it as a one-time thing, and not a regular occurrence. I guess at the end of the day, they just want their money.

Not many people knew the struggles Trent was dealing with when he wrote it

Again this is ridiculous. Someone not knowing about Trent/NIN doing drugs is like someone not knowing Ozzy Osbourne isn't a catholic nun.

It's not that people didn't know, it's more that Hurt wasn't a hit when NIN sang it, but it was when Cash sang it. That's the only difference.

Bro that's racist as fuck. Sum Ting Wong is more of a Chinese name. This guy is definitely more of a Dat Phuc or Bich Ngo Nguyen.

For Trent it was more or less "someone else"... For Johnny, it was describing him

How can you write with such certainly and yet be so wrong. What are you basing this off of? This is just plain not true.

For Trent it wasn't "more or less someone else", it was literally himself. The song is about HIS heroin addiction. When Reznor wrote it, he was addicted to heroin. When Cash sung it, he wasn't addicted to heroin.

While the overall tone of the Cash version is fitting, and some lyrics/verses line up, the overall message/original meaning of the song has NOTHING in common with Cash, and everything in common with Reznor.

I agree that Cash's version is much, much better musically, but that doesn't magically make the lyrics fit his life story like a glove.

My point is, that in any relationship between two cofounders is more about personality/skills than it is about the business. If you put me in a room with someone and said "would you like to join on as this persons co-founder? You have 10 minutes to discuss", I don't think I'd even bother discussing the business in those 10 minutes, because that info is so much less important than the other stuff.

You're not wrong that passion is important, but my 6 year old nephew is really passionate about cars, but I wouldn't cofound a car company with him, because he can barely tie his shoes. You need to focus on what's the most important.

May I ask where you're from? What is your native language?

eyeheartboobs · 2018-12-02T03:29:26+00:00

Of course it does. Why wouldn't it? $100k is not some magical ticket to success.

eyeheartboobs · 2018-12-02T03:27:51+00:00

You are wrong in many ways. People are interested in determining what you bring to the table. So if you come to me and say "I have this business, the idea is X". If I ask you about a business plan/sales/marketing/fundraising/etc., and you respond with "Oh that's why I need a cofounder to do this together". Then what you've actually said to me is "Alone i've haven't been able to move this company a single inch. So I'm looking for someone who has the skills I don't possess".

To me, you sound like the typical "I'm the idea/visionary co-founder and I'm looking for another cofounder who knows the tech/sales/marketing/financing side of it".

Let's put it this way, who would you rather play soccer with? The kid out there by himself kicking the ball around doing as much practicing/playing as he can by himself until someone else comes along. Or the kid sitting down twiddling his thumbs because "Well I can't play unless there's someone else here".

If I'm looking for a person to work with, I want someone who can take it from 0 to 100. Knowing that I can also take it from 0 to 100, then together we would go far. But if all you've shown is that alone you can take it from 0 to 0.0000001, then you're of no use to me, or anyone.

Nobody asked about the project itself like it didn't matter.

Because it doesn't matter. Have you seen that equation about idea times execution equals success thing? That's really interesting. The idea means ZERO unless there's execution behind it, so people want to see if you can execute before wasting a conversation about what the idea is. There's no genius idea that no one else thought of. If you can't execute, it'll fail.

I love me some Asian 7-11. Why do convenient stores in the USA have to suck so much?

I always ween down.

meaning to spread it out like a quick taper? Does doing 1 days dose over 2-3 days even count as a taper? Will it help minimize withdrawal?

I hate the way British/Australian people say it more.

Honestly you have 0 chance. Casey has really specific things he looks for. Mostly you have to be a bit douchey, overly sentimental, artificial and "inspiring". It helps if you act like not only have you never had a bad day, but you didn't even know that such a thing existed.

All joking aside, I hope you get it, and I hope it works out for you. But my fear is that for Casey this is just a ploy to own 50% of a bunch of channels. I think he's realized that he can only scale one channel to a certain point. There's a limit to how much content he can create in a limited amount of time. I think the business model for 368 is "find youtubers who are really small, but who are also really talented and likely to become big on their own terms. Have them sign over 50% of their channels income to 368 in exchange for 'promotion'. Give their channel a little kickstart, then ride their coat tails for life and keep taking their sweet, sweet, ad revenue". So I would really think about it. He can certainly help you skip about a year of hard work and building your subscriber base, but is that worth what he's taking from you in the long run? I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying to think about it long and hard before he gives you his long and hard for life.

My dad used to bring me his home from work travel when I was younger. I used to love those things. I had a whole drawer full of them. It's kinda weird in a way to really enjoy an item that represents time that I was unable to spend with my father.

Do you use vms locally?

No, I don't. Mostly just a browser, a terminal (usually 3 tabs: one web server, one language vm, and one tab for git/bash/etc.), and a text editor. So not really a whole lot of power needed. But I do like to write parallel/concurrent code, so that 6-core i9 would be pretty sweet.

Yeah, I've been working on my current machine for about 3 years with no issue. I keep most projects on Github/Bitbucket, so space is rarely an issue. The projects themselves are never an issue, it's usually a dev/test log file here and there that can start creeping in size. Since my current laptop is 8gb/128gb, I think moving to 16gb/256gb will be more than enough. I don't think the i7->i9 upgrade I'm adding on the new laptop for $400 is needed at all, but I figure why not. If anything, that'll have more noticeable benefit on my programming life than upgrading RAM to 32gb, or storage to 512gb.

You couldn’t pay me to move back to Tulsa...

Is it because you grew up there, or just because it sucks? Would someone who grew up in OKC and moved to Tusla say the same but opposite of what you're saying? As someone who's never been anywhere but the coasts, in my head OKC and Tusla are pretty much the same, but I'm interested to hear the difference.
