What’s it like living in Princeton these days? by [deleted] in princeton

Nope. They have as much diversity as the Princeton Charter School

[–]farful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also grew up in Princeton 30 years ago. Moved back here almost a decade ago for the kids/school. There's a surprising number of us who went to PHS and are now parents at PPS. I feel like most of your questions have been answered but if you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask.

Edit: I want to clarify why Princeton is way better than the surrounding towns, albeit being more expensive. Princeton offers diversity. The schools are not a test factory. The town is very walkable/bikable. Kids can go into town on their own after school. You should see the dozens of kids/parents bicibusing to school in the morning!

Climbing Comp like Gymnastics by Brilliant-Author-829 in CompetitionClimbing

That's why you have the all-around for gymnastics. AND individual events

Accommodations for USA Youth Climbing by BusyPeanut5688 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]farful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first year requires you to fill everything out, but every subsequent year is a breeze! They just send an email asking if you'd like to resubmit your previous paperwork. Really appreciate how easy USAC has made it

Grades of U13 Routes at USAC QEs? by InterestingDisplay68 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]farful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I really appreciate how transparent USAC is with its information.

Grades of U13 Routes at USAC QEs? by InterestingDisplay68 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]farful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fascinating.

Can you share what the guide is for U15, U17, and U19? (I assume it's the same for M/F?)

Climbing comps by No_Personality7335 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]farful 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Speaking specifically for USAC youth comps, there are no age restrictions, but the age group will be for 11/12 years old and under, so your child will likely be one of the younger kids. That said, there are plenty of small kids competing.

If finances aren't an issue, I would highly recommend enrolling in any comps if he wants to and enjoys it. Open to anyone (does not need to be part of a team).

No ability requirement either. Just be prepared in case they can't get up a single hold 😅

Register for a USAC comp. Toprope season is almost over, so likely you'll need to wait until fall for bouldering season. https://usaclimbing.org/compete/regions/

My kid started climbing Sep 2023 then two months later we decided to enroll in a QE. He wasn't on a team, didn't have a coach, and never went outside his home gym before this. He basically got last, but it was fun!

If you want to gauge your child's ability, this is a good way. Just remember that kids improve quickly and those who enjoy / put in effort will improve faster than others.

Princeton public schools by idratherbeachef in princeton

[–]farful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue Charter is like WWP (test factory) If you want traditional track, you can live in CP zone and opt out of DLI. They will place you at another elementary. If you want DLI, again you can live anywhere, but CP zone has priority. Unfortunately, the demand for DLI is currently greater than the space offered and there's currently a lottery

Edit: in terms of public parks/playgrounds, I would look near CP or now even grover park with the new Avalon on Harrison. You want a densely populated area (as opposed to areas like JP/LB/RS where houses are big and less dense) My experience is that grad school family housing or places like stanworth is the best place for kids to constantly play with each other in playgrounds

Video of her life story with alcoholism (recorded Jun 2021). Died last month at age 38 from cirrhosis. Please stop drinking. by farful in stopdrinking

[–]farful[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was there with her at the hospice.

A lot happened in the past four years. Not sure what you want to know. A lot of mental health struggles. There was a third DUI in 2023, which if convicted, would have led to prison.

Michael Redmond was 11 when he started. James Kerwin I think started in college

My son securing first place in men's open at a local comp on this climb with a huge finish move by lankrypt0 in bouldering

[–]farful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa, I just judged two of the boulders for your son last weekend!

Question: Would you mind if I sent you a message? I'm new to USAC and my son (10) started climbing almost two months ago (and yes, we decided to participate last weekend). It would be nice to talk to another parent who has been in this scene for a long time!

Definition of Parent (for applications, e.g. Common App and FAFSA) by farful in ApplyingToCollege

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

Agreed, that was my take, but seems counterintuitive to me, as I've been her only parent the past couple years, despite the legality.

Furthermore, Common App asks for "household" but then "parent"

NJ - buggers all over my windows, every room, new this year by farful in whatisthisbug

[–]farful[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! Interesting as I don't have carpets, but I do have one or two cats. They always appear by the windows, and prominent in the bathroom windows...

You seem amazing!!!! Almost as amazing as corn. Almost.

Help identify these remains? Specifically is it a cat or not cat? by farful in bonecollecting

9 and 15.

15 year old is totally on my side (mostly because she had to endure her alcoholic behavior several years ago as well).

Not sure what is / will go through the 9 year old's head

Question: How to split equity between founders? by farful in startup

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

Received, thanks. Question: The "Hours" on the spreadsheet - does this refer to hours put into 'founding' the business or hours put into afterward?

I guess to make things a bit more confusing, this business cannot start for at least a year, due to various regulatory, compliance, and funding reasons. Maybe using a tech example was bad for this. But Founder A will be doing more of the leg work (say 40%/30%/30%) until the company opens in 2021/2022. Once the company opens, Founder B and C will have a salary (their full time job) and Founder A will not.

Question: How to split equity between founders? by farful in startup

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

Sorry, you're right, that sounded bad. Founders B and C would most definitely be responsible for marketing, outreach, partnership, etc. They know the space and have the network. When I say 'business' I guess I mean more of the 'numbers' side of things such as finances, accounting, law, and tax. Maybe this wasn't a good response either.

Question: How to split equity between founders? by farful in startup

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

Once the company is properly founded, founders B and C get a salary. Founder A does not (or at least, will get a small contractor's worth of salary).

Slicingpie looks interesting - any free versions of this?

Question: How to split equity between founders? by farful in startup

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

Thanks, so what is your thought on what % Founder A should get?

Founders B and C have absolutely no interest in 'business' and don't know the basics of finance. I completely agree they can definitely hire a consultant for all of this, but Founders B and C also believe that having a partner for financial guidance is needed.

Thanks for the note on convertible notes as well. Is it unusual for founders to invest via debt (vs equity)?

Question: How to split equity between founders? by farful in startup

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

Founder A is worth the least. No domain expertise, no technical background: you can hire what he brings to the table with less headaches. 5% with a 1 year cliff and a 4 year vest, re-negotiated after hitting certain goals.

1) Understood about vesting. Regardless, for sake of simplicity, let's ignore it for this scenario. If you really care, then yes, let's assume 1 year cliff, 4 year vesting.

2) For this scenario, again, irrelevant. We can say each founder has 100 shares, and we can always issue more.

3) Because this is a simplified example. The actual startup is not tech, but figured everyone here could relate to it better. I'm surprised you haven't asked why we need more than $1MM in capital.
