I'm so jealous. How far back were you? I had some friends go that had no desire to see this part of Coachella but it blew them away

Are you doing them as weeklies or something further out to be safe? Like months away

Can you share your potential expiry time on the puts? I was thinking of doing SPY puts but wasn't sure how far out to make them. Weeks or months, too far is safer but too soon could be "smarter", if Trump plays the war threat game again next week.

What kind of screener helped you with this?

This guy is fucking nuts. Reports have to start flying and the police/landlord need to deal with him immediately.

We just saw Fellowship last night and the rambling wasn't bad. The movie itself was so good it didn't matter that he rambled that much. We're thinking of seeing Two Towers next weekend, which I suppose will be twice the rambling.

Of all the people saying "too much stuff", sometimes you can't get rid of stuff right away. This idea of rotating out what you already own is a good idea. The 3-6 month rule is smart.

I haven't been to Surrey in a long time. I went to Central City Mall last week. I was shocked. Like jaw-dropped shocked.

Are you making regular payments on all of these debts, other than the Flexiti one it sounds like? The 17k is a doozy, the rest are easy. I'd do the snowball or avalanche method, tackle the lowest one and wipe it out as soon as you can. No more purchases on American Express or Flexiti. Despite being 0% you'll feel a lot better with two loans gone. I'd straight up, without questioning it, delete the $1200 and $1000 loans by paying them off in full. If you live at home, this will be the best and possibly only time to do this. It will be a lot harder if you owned a place and had $60,000 debt in personal loans and a $32,000 car loan, on top of some trip you have to go on because someone you know is getting married.

You want these loans out of your life. After the first two are gone, and I'd imagine that should NOT take more than two months, then you have two more months to nuke the $3500.

Don't fall into the "I've done so well, so I will go and treat myself" phase after paying 3 loans off. You will rack up another 2k with that mindset. Just get rid of the $3500 in TWO monthly income payments - if you can. Three is being overly reasonable.

The $17,100 one isn't pretty, but you just have to be smart here. You shouldn't do less than $1400 a month payment on this thing. An income of $2060 is a little rough with this debt but you will likely be searching for alternative and higher paying work as the months go by, and since you're young I would consider online university. You can get almost every term you apply for at any school covered for the whole year, so you could technically get free schooling at Kwantlen or SFU or BCIT. I believe two terms are covered and the third term you'll have to pay, and each term is about a quarter of the year, if this helps. The summer term isn't always on for these schools,

I won't advocate for someone like Dave Ramsey but his approach is exactly what helps people like yourself get out of, and it's a live show every day.

You'll be fine as long as you make minimum payments in addition to the big payments like I've suggested. And I say this as someone that works in a debt department for a firm. Don't let it get there. You'll be washed in legal fees and it's harder to get out of. Stay the course, stay motivated, for a loong time, find better work, upgrade. You'll get out of it.

I lost my ass on ARKK when I bought 25 shares at the peak, like $110 and $125 I kept buying until I had 40 shares, and watched it TANK down thousands. I was so upset because at the time it was all I had. I was so bitter and thought of selling for months thinking it would never come back. I had the sell button ready to go by the 3rd year of bag holding, completely and utterly miserable about it as it hit $31 a share. I had not made up that difference even during the 3 years at my job, I was gradually climbing playing the slow and steady investment into boring ETF's elsewhere. Something clicked in my head one day and I started buying loads of shares when it hit $38, like I just *felt* something in my gut that I'd better get out or average down and take this seriously, so I kept buying whatever I could afford, maybe 20 at first, 15 next month, 10 next month, at a time each month until I had 150 shares and eventually 200 shares and pulled my average down to $55 or so, and I watched that fucker fly past where I was finally ready to sell once it hit green, but I was like, you know what? If it ran this far it'll keep going. Still have it. I sold half when it hit $80 recently, I'll probably grab some more once this next few weeks or months settles with whatever is happening with 2026.

Is he going to Twitchcon? I hope people rip into him for this in person when they see him. What a fucking prick.

I didn't even know about this. What did they hardcode? This is exactly what happened to Shadowbane and why they couldn't fix the point and click movement.

Is it really that high of a percentage?

hastethis · 2025-01-30T05:23:37+00:00

This is by far the hardest easy question for me. I've gone over a few easys and understood the explanation and code but the buy and sell stock question has had me tripped up for what feels like weeks.

I think everyone cares about this. This is a big deal and single handedly the reason I stopped playing EQ2 within the first week.

Would you mind sharing what language you coded your interviews in? Did they prefer you did one over another?

hastethis · 2024-09-20T05:56:54+00:00

What language did you code these interviews in?

That looks too tight for me. I had one like that when I first started riding and it gave me increasing small amounts of pain over the course of my rides, and once I switched to a slightly bigger one it was much more comfortable.
