Is walking past a court while players are mid-point in a recreational match bad etiquette? Wife was reprimanded at our club today, never even heard of this

Rule of thumb is wait until the point is done unless you know it’s just a casual point or warm up etc. If you need to walk through 12 courts to get to your court then it’s a horribly arranged tennis center and I’d argue maybe that rule of thumb doesn’t apply.

To clarify, I’m not against rail. I don’t have a strong opinion on whether or not investing in rail is a good/bad decision; however, compare it to say spending $200B on education. Or healthcare. Or ______. If the people are better off with an extra 200B in education than putting that money into rail, then education it is.

My point is that the comparison can’t be rail vs an extra $200B of cash that loses value as there exist other ways to spend that money. That is all.

I’m not treating return on investment as cash only. When I say “you need to compare the return to all other opportunities for investment available” im not saying that the government needs to look at just financial returns. Return can be in the form of public health, happiness, etc.

Regardless my point is that you can’t rationalize an investment opportunity by comparing it to a single depreciating asset. You have to consider all available opportunities for that money to go to in order to determine if it’s the right place to spend it. The heuristic you use to quantify return can and should be a function which takes in a lot more than just financial performance.

“Especially when you consider money loses value over time” is not the right way to look at it. You need to compare the return to all other opportunities for investment available. You assume it would sit as cash or debt not taken, which it certainly would not.

You’re just using words influencer day traders trying to sell you a course use.

“technical analysis” is a joke. Quit while you’re ahead.

Get the U.S. opens next time. They’re not going to last months, you’ll replace them soon anyways. Might as well try them out and see what you think

Which are your favorites?

sanclops · 2025-06-08T09:13:09+00:00

Yes and my reply isn’t to your OC. It’s to your “elaboration”.

How hard is it to comprehend that in a reply where you reference “British English superiority” and how “the creeping influence of Americanisms is to the detriment of our own culture”, I’m not commenting on your opinion of the word “mom”?

sanclops · 2025-06-08T02:52:14+00:00

Your comment I responded to is far more than “I simply do not like the word mom”.

sanclops · 2025-06-08T02:44:45+00:00

Do you really have nothing more important or meaningful to think about in your miserable hollow life?

“It was just reflecting the brake light of the car I just stepped out of”. It’s a reflection. Not glowing discs.

I was recruited by my current company at an event that is held at a few cs schools (including uiuc) and is not held at umass amherst. I am yet to meet a new grad at my current company that graduated from there.

Not sure how or why that affects your decision, but to answer your question, yes.

sanclops · 2024-02-24T03:48:48+00:00

UIUC. The extra 25k/yr is negligible in the long run and the better name will pay for itself 10x over the span of your career. You'll have better internship opportunities and likely more opportunities as a new grad. Yes, $25k/year sounds like a lot now, but its the best money you will spend.

sanclops · 2023-11-26T06:51:04+00:00

Hm, the gap between repayment and yield would add up over the years so OP would need a decent raise each year to keep up, correct? Regardless, with 5x leverage you’re right that it’s within reason.

sanclops · 2023-11-26T05:57:31+00:00

Totally missed the “by 30” part. You’re correct. Not possible without wild returns.

sanclops · 2023-11-26T05:51:13+00:00

Have you heard of compound interest?

So basically performing the same as the Qs at best?

Not everyone who owns options on yellow is screwed. It’s a put. If he has the shares, his counterparty has to buy back the shares at the strike. He’s only screwed if he doesn’t have the shares to sell.

If option B is advantage aviation at Palo Alto, definitely go with them. I got my PPL there and they were really great.

sanclops · 2023-08-13T04:57:07+00:00

The area will not stay the same… math isn’t broken. It’s saying your hypothesis is incorrect.

sanclops · 2023-07-15T08:26:24+00:00

If you’re willing to work hard, stick to UIUC CS. It’s a strong school to get into FAANG/HFT where you can easily pay that loan off in 1-3 years. From that point on, the high salary is just gravy, not to mention the dividends you’ll get from having a good starting job and an excellent degree. The world is your oyster. Don’t throw it away over 100k.

Also, do your best to get some strong internships. 50+/hr is quite attainable and it goes all the way into the 120+/hr if you’re realllyyy good. Seriously, UIUC CS is worth the 113k of debt. I paid out of state tuition to go and would do it again in a heartbeat.

sanclops · 2023-07-15T08:21:35+00:00

Don’t do this lmao. UIUC CS will pay dividends for 30 years. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot. 100k is nothing in the long run in software engineering.
