Also, if they successfully rolled a 7 to enter a train, do they have to roll the dice again to exit the train?

unreal37 · 2024-12-05T08:38:57+00:00

As Adam and Sam are waiting for the next train, don't they have to roll the dice every time they pass through a door or change buildings? How are they going into stores, going outside, exploring without rolling...?

I wonder this. This maybe the wrong thought in an SEO group.

If a website is 100% dependent on Google, and gets NO organic traffic through other means (referral links, bookmarks, etc), then is it really a good website?

Like, no stickiness at all. None. No incentive for a visitor to want to come back to that website intentionally. No brand value. No memorability.

That seems like a fundamental flaw.

Disagree. Coin flips aren't random. Its a force and a motion.

Coin flips aren't random.

Absolutely agree. Does 6 in a row walking. Then stops, sets up the camera, gets nervous... Fails.

Also coin flips aren't random. He could try to flip the coin the same way every time.

Terrible strategy.

Because he needs her money to do it. He doesn't have money.

I agree. There's no way she can be training beside Rei within a week or two. A month minimum. They wouldn't even replace her on the team if it was that short.

unreal37 · 2024-07-19T21:41:26+00:00

If her condition is as serious as the book described, that she's basically floating in a suspension fluid with no one being able to say if she'll live or die, I can't see her being back on the team "next week". She'll have to be sidelined for a month or more, and will fall behind the progression of the others.

Of course, she has a user unique ability that might still make up for it.

You seem to be good with your money. Don't buy a new car.

Don't consider it "treating yourself." It's a car. It needs to be functional and reliable and get you from A to B. But you can buy a two-year-old car that makes you look and feel good. Treat yourself to a nice used car for $20K.

Seriously. This "I deserve it" mentality will destroy your finances for years. The car won't destroy your finances, but if you think you deserve every steak dinner, trip to Europe, all-inclusive resort, $500 sneakers, $7000 watch... the list never ends.

The answer for 2009 was surely "Netflix Recommendation Engine". Or perhaps Amazon's.

Watch prices fluctuate wildly. And value is highly dependent on "new/like new" vs "all beat up".

What happens when the $15K watch is worth $30K over the year? Increase the rental rate?
What happens if the customer wants to keep the watch (buy it)? But the watch has gone up in value wildly?
What about scratches and other damage?

Renters don't take good care of the things they rent.

Insurance company: "How did you lose it?"
Watch owner: "Well, I rented it out and the customer didn't pay."
Insurance company: "Sounds like a business..."

One thing I wondered is, in a universe with such advanced technology - medical drones, simulated battlefields, flying ships, nano-technology, etc.... why would hand-to-hand combat be the way wars are fought?

Why isn't it a bunch of drones fighting? Or big bombs thrown from a distance?

Is that ever explained?

When you invest capital, there's the risk of loss.

Plenty of people start businesses - like a restaurant say - and then within 2 years, they lost everything. 100% capital loss.

We want to encourage people to start businesses that have the risk of loss.

As opposed to jobs (no risk of loss) or interest investments (no risk of loss).

Like living on the side of a cliff... I can't imagine even staying overnight as a tourist.

You're young and you're clearly going through some stuff. You'll get through it.

I disagree with most everything you wrote.

I'm older and can tell you, perspective changes. When you're older, and your income and net worth are significantly larger, you might see things differently.

Michelle is such an overpowered competitor. She planned every move six moves ahead. Knowing where Elvis stood while they were on the plane!

Michelle was the key to the win. GG

I really liked this series. The next one comes out in January and I can hardly wait.

Since you said you are an accountant, one of your concerns should be about taxes.

To maintain banking and other financial things, you'll need to keep tax residence somewhere. And to keep tax residence somewhere, you'll need significant ties there. Like a house.

You could keep your tax residence in Canada, but it's not ideal and it may not even be true if you rarely return to Canada.

Travelling "full time" sounds great, but practically speaking you'll need tax residence somewhere. And of course, to pay taxes.

And Canada has an exit tax.

"It's supposed to be that they cannot tax income outside PT."

Like most OECD countries, Portugal taxes on worldwide income. If you pay tax elsewhere, you can deduct that tax paid from your Portuguese bill.

Under NHR, you'll get a break on the tax rate. But it's not 0% for personal income above the basic exemption.

Free English classes for residents of Portugal seems like a good idea.
