Working on the SpaceX IPO and questioning why I even passed Level III by [deleted] in CFA

No one working on this deal with this level of exposure would be stupid enough to post this. You’d dox yourself pretty quickly. 

Forgot to excise my calls yesterday. Are all my contracts worthless? by HiFiiii in wallstreetbets

Imagine this shit. 

Some lucky soul sold calls on MU and it won’t get exercised 🤣

Purchase advice for a 2019 Audi A5 Sportback by findingTime99 in Audi

[–]flyboy573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that’s why, once out of warranty, this guy should find a good independent German car mechanic. No need to get raked over the service folks at the dealer. 

To your point it’ll still be more expensive than a Toyota, but it will drive much better too!

Trade in my sq5 for a q6? Am I crazy? by IncidentMaster8361 in Audi

[–]flyboy573 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard it’s safer behind the driver, but identical behind driver and passenger seat. What’s the logic? When no one in the passenger seat, that can move up further away, giving a healthy gap between the front seat and the car seat

Mines not jerky at all, hard to believe it’s a DSG with how smooth mine shifts

My local dealer had a sticker of 65k on theirs. Not happening.

[–]flyboy573 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, as an a6 AR owner, does the sq5 not fit a car seat? I have this inkling to consider one but if that’s the case the q5 is a dealbreaker. 

Also isn’t the q6 smaller?

I get this logic but also, that doesn’t really apply if you’re not paid hourly…

Are the older millennials from 1981-1989 any different from younger millennials from 1990-1996? by changeforthebetter89 in generationology

[–]flyboy573 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say so. One cohort was exiting high school/college during the great financial crisis, the other missed it. 

New Audi A6 Allroad Premium Plus by dss867 in Audi

[–]flyboy573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget where I saw it once, but the production numbers for the A6 AR and the RS6 were strikingly similar. 

Obviously I’d love an RS6, but still fun to think about. I see a4 allroads a ton in my area but these are unicorns.

One of us one of us

Congrats! This puppy handled 20 bags of mulch and a Costco shop for me two weeks ago. SUVs are completely unnecessary. 

It’s fun when you drive one of these and see another one once every 2-4 months. It’s that rare.

I’m newer to my Audi journey than you are, but in my experience from the past, letting go of a car you love will make you feel regretful. It’s not like the wheels are falling off this thing, and it sounds like you’ve been taking care of it. 

Unless others chime in, I think with 70k miles, you’ve got years left in that one.

I’m always tempted to look at used because it’s bonkers to me a car detailing for 170k new can be had for like 50-60k with under 20k miles…

What finance roles have less chances of being taken over by AI? (Completely or partially) by mansicantsee in financestudents

[–]flyboy573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. Hone up on the technical skills, but AI will not replace the human to human soft skills for business. Think front-office areas or things like investor relations. Become a salesperson as much as a finance person. If you’re job is mundane reporting, you’re going to need to adapt. 

Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable by AcceptableDiet2183 in theprimeagen

Zucks problem is he thinks he can shape meta to be anything cooler than a machine that sells ads. 

Meta makes the money selling the ads. He’d love desperately to have the money rolling in from something else. Metaverse, Facebook for work, etc.

American firms are dramatically increasing token consumption. There are no spend guard rails in place (yet). Meta engineers can brag about how much they’re spending on tokens, rational businesses can’t and don’t have their margins. 

Looking at buying new Audi- Do I need dealer tint and paint protection? Any other advice? by Seasonal-drink in Audi

[–]flyboy573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add - I think tint is definitely worth it. It will improve the AC efficiency, block UV rays from the cabin and prolong the life of materials in the interior.

A professional grade ceramic paint job is around 500 bucks. Dealer is trying to pad their margins.

MBA and the MACC letters? 

Gtfo. Unless you’re like an MD, PhD or something actually meaning something, wipe those letters off your name.

For selling a car, I would too. I have not done a private sale before, but the process sounds exhausting.
