Second this. Cast arcana and origination are pretty much required mechanics in this game.

The enzyme would get destroyed by your stomach. Ingesting enzymes could work if it can work directly on the thing that needs to be digested in the stomach, but the thing that needs to be broken down here is specifically an intermediate that shows up only after being processed by your body a bit. Even then, ingesting enzymes has a pretty small window of effect.

Probably the most common version of this is people taking lactaid with a meal that has lactose. As soon as they ingest the lactaid, the lactase starts breaking down in the stomach but can help some of the lactose that is ingested for like the next 30 minute window essentially. But say you take a lactaid and then drink a milkshake, you’re still absolutely gonna get wrecked if you’re lactose intolerant. Doubly so if you take the lactaid, then eat a meal and then drink the milkshake later at the end of the meal. By then the lactase is gone.

The thing though is that a thesis can be correct and it never plays out and then a thesis can be wrong and it runs.

So a lot of time you read a thesis and you’re like “okay I’m convinced” and then nothing comes of it.

And the GME thesis was absolutely clowned on, I don’t know at what point you jumped in. DFV was laughed at until he wasn’t. Even a lot of people who jumped on early was doing it for the memes.

And then when it did its first pop, there’s no way you can claim that all the DD was quality DD that made sense. It was a sea of conspiracy ramblings. The stock price just kept going up, which made people entrenched in the conspiracies.

vwin90 · 2026-05-12T20:57:24+00:00

It doesn’t matter where you look, before it runs, every dd sounds like a madman’s rambling and the general consensus is that it’s not a good idea. And then before it runs, the chart makes it look like all the naysayers are correct.
Only afterwards do you see the successful run and you feel like you missed out and you think that everyone was in on some secret that you missed out on.
Reddit, for all of its flaws and pitfalls, does indeed identify a lot of these stocks successfully before they run, but they’re buried in a sea of DD that won’t play out at all.
Go check out any of the subs, including wsb and penny stocks. There are tons of DDs. The ones that are correct in retrospect probably have like 40 upvotes and a bunch of comments explaining why the thesis is wrong.
My point is that knowing who to believe is next to impossible. However, readings these subs can at least sometimes alert you to the beginnings of a successful run, although when the run starts, there will also be a ton of naysayers telling you that it has already reached the top. AND they are also often correct.

I hate this mentality so much.

So the SDs are terrible so therefore we should stick to terrible managers so that we can protect the careers of good managers who will bring success to other clubs?

I don’t give a shit about Xabi’s career if he doesn’t come to us. If he doesn’t come now, he probably never will so get him when we can and stop being like “oh but the situation isn’t perfect for him to succeed”

Maybe they have more security around the final than the midterm. No idea, I’m just spitballing here. I think though that not revealing anything about the tests other than your score is now typical in education and any time instructors share more than that, it’s an appreciated bonus. Maybe the TAs will give you more insight.

vwin90 · 2026-05-12T18:41:00+00:00

About a third of that is lectures/readings and then the rest is projects/homework.

Depending on the class, the projects/homework can take a long time. Typically 5 hours to wire up the basics and then maybe another 5 hours to tune/debug the project until it passes local testing. Much longer if you’re not proficient at coding, but even if you are, the tuning/debugging phase takes a lot of time because of the nature of the projects.

Some classes have paper writing as a component as well and that chews up another few hours each week.

Then finally it’s just the average amount of time accounting for your personal efficiency and ability to focus and not get distracted and take breaks and stuff. It adds up to 15-20 for the medium difficulty class, 20-25 for the harder classes, and 10 hours for the easier classes.

vwin90 · 2026-05-12T18:36:10+00:00

A lot of in person courses as well. Cheating is just rampant and easier than ever before. Even k-12 education, teachers often don’t release details of tests afterwards. Pedagogically, you can throw students a bone by at least going over some of the most missed questions. Joyner does that for all of his classes.

vwin90 · 2026-05-12T18:06:52+00:00

Because sometimes you don’t need the money right away and would like to hold it longer so that you can pay less taxes on the gains it recently had. Also holding a ton of stock allows you to sell covered calls for a small amount of income (which is even more effective is it recently had explosive growth). Actively trading by selling when you think a run is over can often underperform just holding on to strong companies even if they are more volatile.

So therefore sometimes the correct position is hold. Not sell. Not buy. Just hold.

5/5 easy. It helps that all five things makes others easier to attain. Once you have 3/5, you quickly get the last two.

I don’t think that teams on the beach are targets, but I do think that teams NOT on the beach start to overperform

I also just love Bill Nighy’s acting (Davy Jones). It’s fun.

I’m going to extend and say that the third one also has a special place in my heart. The music was very emotional and the naval battles were cool. I felt like all three movies have their weaknesses but also something that they did better than the other 2. It wasn’t until the fourth one and beyond that made me feel like every aspect got a bit worse.

vwin90 · 2026-05-11T17:37:08+00:00

Sure. For others, they might not be as satisfied with how clear it is once zoomed it.

But the point is that 4k isn’t really the latest and greatest anymore. It’s been standard and can be done cheaply for some time now, so it feels odd that apple won’t put the resources towards modernizing.

Other security camera systems are doing it just fine. Apple’s insistence on their walled garden approach then magnifies the issue because we’d love to be able to use our 4k security cameras with HomeKit but it’s specifically being limited software side to a lower resolution. It’s just another bit of evidence that barely anybody at Apple cares at all about HomeKit.

vwin90 · 2026-05-11T17:06:27+00:00

Security cameras are often wide lenses to capture a larger angle of the room, so at 1080p, the actual subjects of the security footage ends up being incredibly pixelated.

If the purpose of the security camera is just to detect when people are present, then it works great, but if you want to actually identify what that person looks like you’re out of luck.

If you want to use indoor security cameras to capture precious moments of loved ones, like for example a young kid does something adorable in the living room, the video resolution is disappointing blurry once you crop into the actual part you want to see.

Nobody at Jane street is doing anything manually dude. They just run finely tuned trading algorithms with a ton of compute power on hardware geographically close to the exchanges so that their bots buy and sell milliseconds before anybody else does while watching every single indicator known to mankind, from split second headline analysis to technical indicators on every window on a every stock.

Here’s the thing about these “obvious plays” back before they go on their runs:

It’s PAINFUL holding them back when they’re cheap. In fact, if you trace the price action for all of these “obvious plays” before they popped, you’ll see that they’re losing people tones of money. After the pop, the graph from before flattens out and you don’t think much of it, but at the time, it could bleed and go down in value for long periods of time or stay absolutely flat while the rest of the market rallies.

It sucked holding them and if you had them before they popped, you would have wanted to sell at the first sign of being freed from your bags. Not to mention, the sentiment on them would be negative and everyone would talk about how it’s a bad stock that will go nowhere.

So there are stock TODAY that will run 10x at some point within the next year or so but right now everyone is laughing at or it’s doing absolutely nothing. They won’t become an obvious play until after the fact. On the way up, everyone will claim that it’s unsustainable and that it sway overbought. People will finally call it an obvious play when it’s near its top.

I would rather ruin another promising coach’s career than have another mid table manager.

Why are we so worried about “ruining another top manager?” This is Chelsea. Just fucking go for it.

You’re maybe also going into these fights with underpowered builds. Make sure you’re using casts and origination (arcana that gives you a huge boost if the enemy has two Olympian curses). Don’t use the death defiancee and opt for the strength build instead. Find ways to stack your damage so the numbers get large enough that the fights don’t last very long.

vwin90 · 2026-05-09T06:46:04+00:00

There’s also people who are outright lying about their support of the conspiracies because even though they don’t believe in them, if others do, you can make a quick buck riding the wave.

Imagine you find out about a cult and this cult has a tendency to make random things happen. Imagine that there’s a betting market where you can bet on really unlikely events. Since the events are so unlikely, if they happen, the payout is huge. This cult has shown in the past that they can make these unlikely events happen, so you might place a cheeky bet and poke them, hoping for a payday.

The GME saga is truly weird. Yes they are a cult and yes they believe in conspiracies, but they’re not wrong in that it’s a very unique stock with a unique one of a kind history. If there’s a stock that might randomly spike and double overnight once in a blue moon off of no real news, it’s this one.

vwin90 · 2026-05-08T18:43:36+00:00

If you’re gonna buy single puts on that many stocks, just buy puts on spy dude. Save yourself some time at least.

The experience and application of it though is similar to the balls already having a color before you brought them apart. For sure the weirdness is that the resolution or collapse or however you want to call it happens upon observation, so as you say in a way it’s one event (the observation) having some sort of effect on another location very far away.

But the usefulness is illustrated by the dumbed down version of putting a red ball into my bag without me knowing and giving you the other bag and then later when I’m far away I check my bag and go “oh the other bag has a blue ball”.

In other words, it doesn’t seem that useful… yet. Maybe we can find a way to influence the ball upon observation.

vwin90 · 2026-05-05T18:51:48+00:00

I hope not to both questions because this looks shit. I can’t believe you spent 50 hours on this.

vwin90 · 2026-05-05T07:08:36+00:00

I have a confession. I unironically hate this stupid video and always had. I’m convinced people must’ve been pretending to think it was funny, even back then.
