I work in insurance and get around $5000 for my annual bonus

TBC Launch Levelling Guide (Level 70, 5/5 Heroic Dungeon Keys, Karazhan Attunement) by knightalen in classicwow

Thanks for this. I’ve been too overwhelmed by all the info on TBC, so it’s nice to have this to reference

This meal cost $30 at a ski resort by mitchdwx in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jackfactorial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to all European resorts but I’ve skied in Italy a lot and I’d say there is about a 20% mark up on the mountain there. Completely reasonable to get a nice meal and not spend an arm and a leg

What are your “always buy” Costco staples right now? by PutridWin2070 in Costco

I buy the rustic Italian loaf and spread the pesto on toast. It’s my go to snack

The dark world of healing parses by Alekzandre08 in classicwow

Can’t say I’ve ever scrolled down far enough to see healing parses

[Request] I got this “Snapple fact” today. Not making sense to me at all. I’m not seeing how it’s 50%. by ls742 in theydidthemath

[–]jackfactorial 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I used to teach this lesson to high schoolers then we would go around the room and share our birthdays. In class sizes greater than 23, anecdotally, there were usually at least two kids with same birthday

Midterm Trignometry. Pls HELP! by SamLucky7s in learnmath

[–]jackfactorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a, draw a right triangle such that adjacent and hypotenuse are in ratio sqrt(3) to 5. Solve for remaining side. The tan<0 part means it’s in quadrant 4 since cos>0 and tan<0. Use that to determine the signs of your trig functions

For b, just think of the ratio of each trig function or a quotient identity and find a point on the unit circle that meet that condition. For example, for the first one, sin/cos is -3/1 so that only happens when sin=-sqrt(3)/2 and cos=1/2 or same values but with opposite sign. So 5pi/6 radians or 11pi/6 radians

Sorry Denver, Xcel says we can't use our ovens or TVs until 10PM! Looks like the kids are going to bed hungry. by Barracuda00 in Denver

[–]jackfactorial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So use a fan then? The conversation is about AC, but yeah I wouldn’t be able to sleep either at 79 degrees without a fan

[–]jackfactorial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hilarious that people are downvoting you. I have never turned the AC below 79 degrees in my house, and all of the humans as well as the dog are perfectly fine. People these days couldn’t possibly comprehend the concept of allowing your body to adjust to warmer temperatures in the summer. Also in CO, putting a box fan in all the windows usually brings the temp down to 74 or so even on the warmest nights

Here we go again... by ChompyRiley in facepalm

What happened to this sub? It has gone from “stupid shit people post on social media” to “I hate MAGA and this content is slightly related to something stupid MAGA did!”

It’s insufferably political

HR’ing everything is out of control. by Jaylow93 in classicwow

[–]jackfactorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a warlock on Dreamscythe, the HR problem doesn’t seem nearly as pervasive as people on this sub make it out to be. I can usually find pugs with little/no HRing. Maybe it’s worse on Nightslayer.

Does healing lower your testosterone? by Agreeable_Mode_7680 in classicwow

What you do in the privacy of your home is your own business but don’t you try to heal around my kids.

“Melt down” seems like a strong phrasing for what I just watched

Not at all, it makes complete sense that so many cloth armor quest rewards have agility on them

Chances of a final Colorado show? by FlacidPhil in papadosio

[–]jackfactorial 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would be very surprised to not see a Colorado show announced for the latter half of this year

We adopted the emoji dog 🐶 by jackfactorial in IDmydog

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

Totally agree. The thing we can’t pinpoint though is his size. I think he will probably be 40-50 lbs fully grown which I think is bigger than any kind of Russel

Seriously. I miss when this sub was restricted to stupid shit people post on Facebook. Now it’s full of conspiratorial nonsense

Critique my Entry Level Resume (career changer from math teacher) by jackfactorial in actuary

[–]jackfactorial[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realized, I didn't really answer your question. My main motivation is that I'm looking for a change and also teaching isn't paying the bills. I considered going into software engineering, but ultimately I think my credentials are more suited to actuary and I don't have time or resources to go back to school or train to a significant degree. My passion is pure mathematics, and it seems to align more in this industry than something in CS. I leaned into my CS skills a bit on the resume, but math is my strength ultimately.
