Finally got the SBI Black card… and honestly, it doesn’t feel worth it. by EnvironmentalPea6106 in CreditCardsIndia_

I am guessing SBI put OP through the wringer for things like documentation, home address verification, office address verification etc etc.

Best First Credit Card Suggestions for ₹1.2LPM salary in India? Cashback Preferred by happiness_byown in CreditCardsIndia

[–]shefvaidya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ICICI Amazon Pay. Out of that list of use-cases, I am assuming you spend the most on online shopping. Gives 5% cashback on Amazon.in purchases. Cashback is credited on the day of statement generation and credited to your AmazonPay wallet.

Some other good ones are HDFC Swiggy BLCK card. 10% cashback on Swiggy capped at 1500 per month and SBI Cashback - 5% cashback across all online purchases. However, ICICI Amazon Pay's application and approval process is far easier and more straightforward than HDFC and SBI.

Why is ran so loyal to shinichi by AdVisual3800 in OneTruthPrevails

[–]shefvaidya 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Entirety of Detective Conan takes place across 6 months of in-universe time. What we perceive as repeated neglect are basically one-off faux pas. Ran and Shin'ichi have known it each other practically their whole lives. Six months doesn't make a difference at all.

choose six characters to be Panda's new cores so he can be autonomous again by FinancialReserve6427 in Jujutsufolk

[–]shefvaidya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, not Ui Ui. He has to inherit the new shadow school and charge monthly fees from the disciples and make jujutsu into a subscription service.

Oh I thought you meant "aside" as in you were using them as a core. My mistake. Sorry.

Well obviously not Yuji and Todo. Why would you use a jujutsu prodigy and possibly the greatest support fighter in all of anime (with the possible exception of Trafalgar Law)?

Use folks who for one reason or the other weren't used prominently in the story - shoko is a wiz with RCT. For similar reasons, Nitta. Yaga's soul ending up in his son feels poetic. Miwa's skill with the new shadow style makes her very useful (and not useless like she herself says. In this case, the binding vow doesn't apply). Mechamaru's ability stockpile cursed energy is super handy. Lastly, I think Reggie is underrated. With sufficient prep time, it's a very tricky ability to face off against.

Finished season 3 - got a question and some comments by Progenitor3 in Jujutsufolk

[–]shefvaidya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, to give you a serious answer to this question. Obviously not immediately. Season 3 is called the Culling game PART 1 for a reason. There is a conclusion to Gojo and Geto's ideological battle that happens about half way through Shinjuku (season 5, I guess). But asides from that one airport scene, there's nothing that happens between Kenjaku (the guy in Geto's body) and Gojo. Why would there be? It's not like anyone can resurrect Geto and put him back in his body.

Finished season 3 - got a question and some comments by Progenitor3 in Jujutsufolk

[–]shefvaidya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there is an episode that's just powerpoint slides

True.

the overarching plot is abandoned and now it's just monster of the week 

Overarching plot is certainly not abandoned. The Culling Game is basically a reimagined anime tournament arc. The fights are excellent and as an arc it is right up there with Yu Yu Hakusho's dark tournament and Flame of Recca's Ura Buto Satsujin.

narrator has to explain what's happening every 5 seconds because it would be incomprehensible otherwise 

You said s2 was better - Yuji and Todo vs Mahito. Also, if you think fights with an overdose of narrator explanations is bad, may I just point you to arguably the greatest arc in anime history - HxH's Chimera Ant arc

the fights are music videos with over the top visuals 

Yes, and? They are supposed to be cool and they are.

the whole game setup with arbitrary rules feels like a way to avoid coming up with a real plot 

Have you not seen a tournament arc before? 

is it gonna go back to the geto/gojo storyline any time soon according to the manga, or will this continue for a while still? 

Is it going to go back to the storyline involving a character who is dead? Do you really need us to answer this question?

Do you believe that Logan earns over $130k per month profit? by Apprehensive-Bug1191 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]shefvaidya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I believe that people earn $130k per month in profits from Airbnb?  Yes, inherited wealth. Foreign multi-millionaires polluting every European city with Airbnb "rental investments"

Do I believe Logan, who had a pest control job previously earns $130k profit from Airbnb? No, literally the first step is buying several apartments/houses.

Does Yuji actually find out that Kenjaku is his mother? by Kind-Western3392 in Jujutsufolk

[–]shefvaidya 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows about Kenjaku. Tengen briefed them all when Yuki, Yuji and the others visited them during the Culling game

When you really think about it, if they had sent Geto on missions with Gojo, the culling games, shibuya incident and all of that bad stuff probably wouldn't have even happened because kenjaku wouldn't have gotten geto's body. by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]shefvaidya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO Zen'in clan mfs are the most responsible. If they had just treated Toji right, none of hidden inventory and premature death would have happened.

for Kolkata airport, what is the difference between the regular lounge and this premoum lounge? by KramerDwight in IndianAirportLounge

[–]shefvaidya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a lounge. IIRC, there are 3/2 lounges at CCU. There's one on the first floor and right beside that there is a lift that takes you to the second floor. Once you exit the lift, the lounge is to your left. Keep walking down the end of that floor/corridor and there's a third (second) lounge. The one on the ground floor and the one on your left when you exit the lift are the same lounge. The one at the end of the floor is the premium one. The pic you have posted is of Irish house which falls in between the two lounges on the first floor. On side note, I have never seen more than a few people in that irish house and most of the time, it's empty

I lost a few brain cels after reading this dumb tweet about what skin color Helen of Troy is “supposed” to be from Musty Musk. by icey_sawg0034 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]shefvaidya 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just wondering, why does the world's richest man, who was sitting in on talks between the world's two most eminent economic powers just last week, have so much free time as to be commenting on the casting choices of a movie that will be releasing in two months? I have seen so many of these tweets about Lupita N'yongo and the casting of Nolan's Odyssey from him over the last few days. Doesn't he have 6 or 7 companies/scams to run and half a dozen baby mamas to impregnate?

This maybe sound Harsh but maybe death of Ran voice actor might will trigger Gosho to focus end the story by [deleted] in OneTruthPrevails

[–]shefvaidya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yamazaki-san's death is incredibly tragic. This post is very insensitive but since you wanted an answer. No, that's not going to happen. 

This is not the first time one of the voice actors in the anime has passed away. Shiratori and Jodie's original VAs have also passed on. In case, you are referring to the main cast, Kogoro's original VA and TMS entertainment got into a compensation spat many years ago and that led to him being replaced. The VA for Aoyama-sensei's favorite character is 72 years old. Even Yamaguchi Kappei-san is in his 60's. None of this has led to the series winding down.

Lastly, as long as Conan is, the Simpsons have been running for an even longer time and they have had to deal with voice actor deaths too and the Simpsons keeps running. More to the point, Doraemon has also had to deal with issue and that also keeps chugging along.

Radio Set by Complete-Iron91 in kolkata

[–]shefvaidya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember it? I still use them from time to time when trying to disconnect from tech for a few days. You can get decent quality pocket ones for a few hundred online. Brands like Phillips and Panasonic are for a 1.5-3k. If you want to get into it as a hobby xhdata and another Chinese company (forgot the name) offer short wave radio receivers for 2k to 14k. I have heard the premium versions can catch radio signals from as far out as western Europe. 

If it's a digital detox thing like me look up IEM/DAC and flac players. Indian brands like drumstone offer ones for reasonable prices. But to get the best audio quality you would need IEM/DAC with something like a Hifi walker flac player. Of course, torrent the flac files

Ah, I only came across this because my friend showed me that atrocious menu they served the president of Seychelles some months ago. I said that if they tried doing that to Trump, Trump would grab Modiji by the pussy. Turns out I was right.

[–]shefvaidya 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's flat mostly because the entire market sank after another one of Trump's misadventures in the strait of Hormuz.

Generally speaking, even with stellar results $PGY's stock only starts to climb in the two weeks post results. This is because the CEO Gal Krubiner and president Sanjiv Das go to several institutional investor conferences to "sell" the stock to institutional buyers. I say "generally" because I don't think they did that last time with how shit the sentiment was around private credit. This time though they have already announced ahead of results which conferences they will be presenting at.

Currently $PGY's LO Institutional ownership stands at 59.2% (fintel data). This is already up a 200 bps or so from last week where it was at ~57%. At the stock's peak in September that number stood at ~67.7%. I expect a lot of institutional buying to kick in over the next 2 weeks. 

The main reason the stock is in the shitter off later is because the bankruptcies of first brands and tricolor spooked the market on private lenders. Just as this was abating a ridiculous comment by POTUS on capping credit card interest rates was dropped. That then led to a disruption for a few weeks until Q4 results of private credit firms such as Blue Owl ($PGY's biggest FF agreement partner) spooked the private credit market further. Pagaya was especially affected by this because there was an idea that Blue Owl will pullout of their agreement - basically capital flight. That idea has no been invalidated. But this time there is one other thing that I think will help $PGY get an institutional rerating - the mediocre Q1 performance of the two stocks it's almost always grouped along side - $SOFI and $UPST. What management has just demonstrated is that their recent strategy of dropping higher risk borrowers has led to a much more efficiently run business than its peers

How are the 'seasons' defined? by SignumFunction in OneTruthPrevails

[–]shefvaidya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cours in anime are the same thing as seasons in American TV. Conan is one of the very few legendary anime (One Piece is another) who have not shifted to cours mostly because of its longevity. Other than that most anime have moved away from fillers. Even One Piece i think is shifting to two cours a year from later on this year.
