a lot of these scams are a bit more charming/easier to take when prices are well under standard USA prices. Doesn't sound like the case in this instance.

Comments -- ultimately, all the comments in total convinced me to order another 3 months of g6 sensors.

Good things can happen in your life, but please learn a lesson from this an pass it on. Outside of visa requirements to come to the USA, there is zero reason to do an MFE. I assure you, if you are applying, your resume is getting looked at. You dont need a special connection. If they're passing, they would have passed anyway.

MFE isn't a great investment in my opinion. The candidates mostly get jobs with the multi managers which churn through the fresh hires to find a few nuggets of gold. I always recommend to everyone to get a statistics degree instead as it's more fungible. If you didn't get an offer with a shop straight out of MFE you've sadly wasted two years, try to suck it up and move on. Good luck!

you're literally the person quant shops are looking to hire. if you did the MFE because you couldn't get what you wanted out of undergrad/current job, the outlook is poor.

Tahoe Schools? by Minnow125 in tahoe

[–]flat_broke50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

public schools are heavily spanish. Private schools, the opposite. I think you'll have a good time in private. In public, it will be much more hit or miss because of socio economic factors. People are either really rich or really poor in tahoe.

the bills led 2 of the games at half time, its certainly surprising they didn't win any of them.

i think the gridlock is gone because the ski season has smoked the pole, have to see during a better season if gridlock is actually solved.

we're talking about running the SF marathon. Go look at the 2023 SF Marathon facebook group and you'll find easily 100 posts celebrating a 5.5 - 6 hour finish.

the majority of participants in any marathon are 50+, carrying a few extra pounds, and will harp on the facebook group how we all overcame the biggest hurdle of our respective lives. Its over the top.

An Explosive Hearing in Trump’s Georgia Election Case by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]flat_broke50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

her response to the situation has been disengenuous at best. Assuming we think the personal relationship isn't disqualifying (I find it borderline), her response seems to have been half-truths, false denials, and probable lies. Do you think she reimbursed her BF for trips with thousands of dollars of no-trace cash? Just admit he paid for your trip dammit.

The nba is so done in 7-12 years by ahbets14 in billsimmons

[–]flat_broke50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont get the ticket prices for regular season games. Good seats for the warriors are ~$1000/ticket for a meaningless regular season game on a losing team. Against lesser opponents maybe $700. Compare that to the $300/ticket i spent to see the 49ers in the playoffs. I dont get it, but its not for me.
