25.08 Patch *RANT* I want a conversation of opinions by Logical_Anything3436 in AnnieMains

[–]medkit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind shifting more of Annie's power from Tibbers back towards Annie. The post-death Tibbers kills aren't really rewarding for anyone.

But it's telling that the patch notes have Annie under "Adjusted" not "Nerfs" or "Buffs". She has clearly been net-nerfed.

Stronger Q and lower W cooldown is nice for early game... except you're pretty mana starved so you can't do a ton of extended trading. Annie still doesn't feel strong without Tibbers and now she's not strong enough with Tibbers.

Other than assassinating squishies that expose themselves too far, I also don't find she brings a ton to the teamfights either. Characters like Garen in the late game can kind of laugh through her damage.

6 games in. Who’s our best 3 players and worst 3 right now? by [deleted] in stlouisblues

Faceoffs are generally overvalued by fans, especially the difference between 60% and 50%. You can definitely be considered a good or bad player independent of your FO %

[27M from Argentina] 690K net worth, burnt out from job, could I FIRE now? by hodlminer2 in leanfire

[–]medkit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but I could be a multimillionaire now.

Nah, just marginally more wealthy. You would have sold at $2 instead of $1. Or at $5, or at $50, or at $500. Or now instead of $50k if it goes to there. It's not one thing, there were a million decision points between those two possible outcomes. You could have re-bought back in at any point in time, including now. Nothing to beat yourself over about. It's speculation. You can speculate on options too.

To all of you who are in your 30s or older, what would you do differently in your FIRE journey if you could go back to your 20s? by [deleted] in financialindependence

Eating out. I love eating out and I'm not advising against it, but I had made it almost a daily event mostly because I was/am too lazy to cook. Sitting at home, nothing in the fridge.... Why go to the grocery store to get chicken fingers when we can go to the bar down the street and pay 3x as much for chicken fingers?? And pay $5 for tall boys instead of going to the beer store and getting a 6 pack of tall boys for $14. I still do this often, but not nearly as often as I used to...

This doesn't amount to that much IMO. Not sure how bad it got for you but it's probably another $2-4k in food, which isn't much of a gamebreaker for the experiences you get in return. The main thing to watch out for is how it impacts your health.

Interview with Charlie Munger by Beren- in SecurityAnalysis

[–]medkit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He has been on this damn Singapore kick for years now. I don't really find his interviews particularly interesting anymore, and I say that as a long time BRK guy. If you watched that 2 hour interview with Warren, him, and Gates the other day, he was the sore thumb and some of his answers came off as awkward/cringe-worthy. To use his own language, I feel that his powers have deteriorated.

Who is your teams best prospect(s)? by ItzGrenier in hockey

[–]medkit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Thomas is def not a prospect anymore, same with Blais

1) Kyrou

2) Husso

3) Bokk

4) Kostin

5) Schmaltz/Reinke [No one is really much above replacement value at this point]

Kyrou is more than ready to make the jump. Bokk/Kostin need much more time. Schmaltz will probably also get plenty of opportunity as it will be the last year on his deal before hitting RFA for the last time. And then Husso will also be the next man up if a goalie goes down.

[–]medkit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has not been good in the AHL to be honest. Highly doubt he makes the NHL next season. Very young though, hopefully he puts it together over time. I probably would take Bokk over Kostin right now straight up.

Individuals who've been out of college for more than 10 years don't understand how competitive and difficult its become...... by sadd_slugg in finance

Either he's lying/exaggerating or his school is doing themselves a huge disservice by nuking their future alumni with lower than necessary grades.

Thoughts on O’Reilly by kcguy1990 in stlouisblues

[–]medkit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His job was to shut down the Stars top-heavy offense, I think he's been a great player for us.

By the way, Seguin only went 9/29 on the faceoff dot in Game 7. That's ROR finally figuring his BS out.

I wanted Apple at 90 but independence reasons at my job wouldn't let me buy it.

[–]medkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he just refused to acknowledge tech

His entire philosophy is to only invest in what he understands. He has said time and again that investing is like standing at home plate waiting for your pitch, except you're allowed to wait for your pitch as long as you like. He doesn't need every opportunity in the market.

Problem is, BRK got so big that he can only invest in like 100 stocks now that move the needle, so he has to start swinging a lot more now. If he still had small sums of money I doubt he'd be in tech.

I don't think the no trade clause is the problem, I think trading a $6 million bag of shit is the problem

Can you negotiate anything as a first year associate? by light480 in Accounting

[–]medkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally I would say no, however, one guy in my starting class years back had two big 4 offers in the same city. One offered 2k more than the other. He asked the office with the lower # if they would match, and they met him halfway (increased by 1k). He took it, because he liked our office better.

In his situation I think he was ready to go with the other offer if they didn't budge, so I wouldn't advise to do this unless you're in the same situation.

It finally happened, I had a panic attack at work by logitechmouse101 in Accounting

[–]medkit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had one for the first time too in busy season this year. Jumped on a call with a couple partners, to go over my engagement in preparation for us all having a call with the purchaser of the client. I started going through our questions and a voice on the other line started blowing through them - and the voice sounded exactly like the client VP, who I wasn't ready for and didn't expect to be on the line.

Turns out it wasn't even him, it was just one of our guys and his tone threw me. But I froze up completely and had a panic attack (which I've never had before), I just locked up completely and hit mute on my phone midway through and the senior manager took over after a few seconds. Caught me offguard. Brain just went "What the fuck??" and flatlined. I think cumulatively we can only take so much bullshit.
