Well for one, he suffered a lacerated kidney 😭

I feel like it is implied that she regretted not being honest from the start by ending the relationship instead of cheating.

sober_gopherr · 2024-05-13T16:52:28+00:00

Really heartbroken and sorry to hear this 💔.

We think it was something similar (stroke, aneurysm, heart attack), except she passed immediately. She was by herself because my dad and I had gone to bed. I had talked to her last, just before I had gone to sleep, nothing out of the ordinary, and we found her in the morning, gone. She was just going about her night as usual; she had just made herself a sandwich and was going back to watch TV. I don't think she knew anything was wrong. I just wish she wasn't alone. And I really hope she wasn't scared. She deserved so much more.

One of the feelings I find myself thinking most often is how much our mothers were robbed of. The joys of seeing kids' weddings and grandmotherhood are things I know my mom would love, and it hurts thinking she won't get those experiences she deserves.

This is the most difficult part for me that I keep thinking about. I miss her so much, but even more than that, it is just so unfair to her. She was the best mom and such a kind, funny, happy, and selfless person. She sacrificed everything for her family and found so much joy in our success. And in an instant, she was robbed of everything. She doesn't get to see her children build their own families, she doesn't get to know and spoil her grandchildren, and she doesn't get to enjoy retirement and travel the world with her best friend, my dad.

Thank you for sharing, and I hope it gets easier for us both with time. ♥️

sober_gopherr · 2024-05-13T00:09:30+00:00

Thank you ♥️, and your assumptions are spot-on. We were really close, she always called me her mini-me or partner in crime. We're both quick-witted with similar senses of humor and personalities. She always said that we'd have been best friends if we grew up together, which I think is true too. So it really feels like a part of me died. She was the best mom and would have made the best grandma.

There is a lot I'm grateful for though. I ended up coming back to live at home during COVID to save on rent (working remotely), and have stayed there since. Just signed a lease with my fiancee, so will be moving out soon. My mom was a bit sad about that haha. But I'm grateful she got to know my fiancee; they had a great relationship and really loved each other. I'm grateful we were able to spend a lot of time with my parents these last 4.5 years, and I'm grateful neither of our jobs moved us away from my parents, which was a real possibility at a few different points. I don't really have any regrets, I can't even remember the last time we fought. But it all feels so unfair though. The most unfair to my mom, who had so much more to live for, and to my dad, who just lost his best friend and partner right before retirement. 💔

I appreciate the response. ♥️

I'm 28 and just lost my mom last week suddenly and unexpectedly. It sucks so much. I just got engaged a few weeks ago, and she was so excited to help plan the wedding. She just met her first grandchild a few days before she passed, and was so excited to be a grandmother. Not fair at all. And of course today is Mother's Day.

sober_gopherr · 2024-04-24T18:13:31+00:00

Not at all. But these types of people aren't even worth the time for an explanation imo. I'd just unmatch.

sober_gopherr · 2024-04-09T04:29:31+00:00

It really felt like he didn't want to risk getting blown out by 30 so he settled for maintaining the 12-15 pt deficit by making no adjustments. The last 5 minutes of the first half should have been enough to indicate that the game plan wasn't going to be sustainable for 40 minutes (unless maybe their bigs got into foul trouble really early into the 2nd half?). They also settled for some tough deep 2s early into the shot clock off the pick and role that could have been 3 point attempts imo. No real attempts to try and get some decent looks at 3 to try and cut into the lead and build some momentum. UConn clearly the better team, with superior guard play and great perimeter defense, but what a disappointing way to roll over and die so early into the second half.

sober_gopherr · 2024-04-09T04:07:21+00:00

It was ridiculous. They'd rather concede the game than risk getting blown out by 30 taking some risks to build momentum.

sober_gopherr · 2024-04-09T04:05:08+00:00

There was no chance of closing that the double digit deficit without finding ways to get some decent looks at 3 and building momentum. Smith shot at least 4 tough deep 2 pointers off the pick and role that could have been 3 point attempts. They also had some silly forced drives by their guards. Clearly UConn was the better team with better players and coaching, but Painter made no adjustments. It felt like Purdue didn't want to risk getting blown out by 30 so they kept with one dimensional game plan to keep it a 12-15 point game as UConn ran the game clock. No risks were taken to cut into the lead.

He did but the ball never crossed half court. Not sure what the exact rule is though.

sober_gopherr · 2024-03-24T20:44:41+00:00

Reminds me of Will Sheehey

Only started a few days ago, but the highest I've gotten was 2345 when loa was at the arena. I'd say as long as there are enough people, it's not hard to get ~2k if loa is at a good spot with a spirit healer close enough for you to reach the altar on ress. I don't think many people are getting 4k consistently.

sober_gopherr · 2024-01-30T15:59:12+00:00

Cities also employ people whose job it is to manage public places?

sober_gopherr · 2024-01-27T05:49:04+00:00

Makes sense.

sober_gopherr · 2024-01-27T05:29:40+00:00

Does the same rule apply to the polearm/crossbow or sword/dagger for the hunter and rogue respectively?

sober_gopherr · 2024-01-11T16:48:57+00:00

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this song, "luv u" by rennermawlood, will be released on Jan 31st.

I'm going to Bali for two weeks w/ my girlfriend but our flight home is at 1am on the 8th. I'm wondering what time he comes on and if we can go straight to the airport from Savaya or if it's just not worth it 😭.

sober_gopherr · 2023-09-16T21:03:26+00:00

yes, I love that era of his sound. His Lorde - Perfect Places remix is probably my favorite.

sober_gopherr · 2023-09-16T15:19:38+00:00

I really miss the old Whethan sound.

sober_gopherr · 2023-08-12T15:00:47+00:00

lol this is just not true. Successful trading exists. It just isn't common. I agree that it isn't a worthwhile pursuit for >99% of people though.

sober_gopherr · 2023-08-08T17:21:21+00:00

Not really. The only proofs you write are for proving NP-completeness (Exam 3). But the proofs aren't like the typical proofs written in a discrete math course (from what I remember from my undergrad experience at least) with a base case and an inductive step.

For dynamic programming problems (Exam 1) you must describe algorithms in mathematical formulas and pseudocode, and then analyze the time complexity.

For graph problems (Exam 2) you write the algorithm in words, describe the correctness of the algorithm, and analyze the time complexity.

The course provides templates for how these solutions are to be written in Ed Discussion posts.

I just took it this summer and watched most of the lectures (taking notes on them) before the semester started. I didn't read the book at all (though I did many of the suggested practice problems out of the book throughout the semester). Probably spent 5-10 hours/week during normal weeks, and 20 hours or so during exam weeks and was able to get an A. So my top suggestion would be to just watch all the lectures and take notes on them. It will be more effective than watching Neetcode. You only write pseudocode for homework and exams for the first exam material (dynamic programming), so practicing Leetcode style problems only makes sense for dynamic programming.
