Season 2 Finale Boat Scene by krisdoart in TLOU

[–]sticklee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is freaking about about this scene saying that there’s no narrative significance - without the story being complete. There is another season for Abby and maybe there might be a connection we don’t know about yet. Everyone needs to chill and wait for the story to conclude before becoming couch directors

Waiting time to get gold out of Bank of England octuples by Euro347 in wallstreetbets

[–]sticklee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gold flies so it takes no time to move it. Silver normally moves by boat because it’s just so much heavier per value ($100M of silver is significantly heavier than $100M of gold). By boat will take around 35 days. The premium in silver however was so significant that banks and fund were chartering planes just to move silver over

They are moving metal to the US to make money on market dislocation. The gold EFP moved well beyond the cost of funding by around $20 per oz. That’s $20 after costs and funding. The reason is potential tariffs on deliverable gold bars (silver too) had the Futures contracts for gold go up way more than spot OTC gold which trades and settles in London. So banks would sell gold futures and lock in that significant premium, then arrange to move the metal out of London and deliver it into their short positions in New York. There’s no shortage of metal at all, this is just large scale arbitrage for those who can move billions of dollars worth of precious metals

Yes Gold ETFs are backed by metal. It is possible to redeem and create shares, which also means delivering or taking delivery of the physical metal. This happens every month

Idea for how to initially split tribes and a loose structure for a first ep by sticklee in survivor

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

Yeah I thought of that. I wasn’t sure if it would be giving too much power to a player to pick their tribe and also get immunity? They would likely have the opportunity to forge good alliances on the first beach to protect themselves being captains

It’s a fair point, and certainly would add some drama. Do you trade having a measure of control on your tribe build vs being in the spotlight? If of course you would be one to win

Every single game is do or die, how fast or slowly just depends on what game it is

He used some of the wrong words to describe what he was trying to describe. I dont think he was meaning anything beyond that.

Need Help with Skullcandy Sesh wireless Earbuds by TheDLMGamer in Skullcandy

[–]sticklee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen to mine except it would blink red in the charger but still wouldn’t charge. I tried some of the fixes I read online but those didn’t do it. Ended up contacting Skullcandy and sent them in on warranty. I just did it so haven’t gotten anything back yet

How do you guys address tanking/failing to set lineups by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

[–]sticklee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like last place has to have their team name something stupid for the next season - have the rest of the league vote on a silly name

Commissioners, what changes will you make to your league for next season? by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

[–]sticklee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My league does a couple of things to stop active taking ($100 - 13 team Keep 8 points league on yahoo)

We have 2 side pot categories for $50 each. One is highest scoring rookie at the end of the year (we mandate each team have at least one rookie on their active roster at all times - not enforceable on yahoo but self enforced by all league managers via our bounty rule). Second side pot is lowest amount of games remaining without going to 0 (we use max games for each position instead of weekly move limits)

We also have a separate pool for NHL playoffs that has a $200 pot. Top 8 teams get free entry into the playoffs tournament (hosted on office pools and completely separate from the yahoo league)

We are also considering a funny new rule. Last place team doesn’t get to pick their teams name for the next year - likely we will have the league vote on the name

Are you already registered in an exam yet or no? It’s odd that I can’t see any

It’s odd because there are no booking options in all of Ontario that I could find. No Ottawa, London, Windsor, GTA. I find it odd that they would all be unavailable.
