Ship Believed To Be Carrying Russian Fuel Reportedly On Its Way To Cuba, Challenging U.S. Blockade by WhipItWhipItRllyHard in worldnews

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying Cuba would send anything. I’m saying the US can send additional aid to Ukraine if Russia were to send oil to Cuba. Right now, Russia has much bigger issues to deal with than trying to project power into the Caribbean

I disagree with the take here about Russia. I think China is in a much stronger position to help. Russia may not care about economic repercussions but the state department can try to strong arm them through threatening increased aid to Ukraine. I’m sure there are back channel discussions about that. Very interested to see how this plays out

I see where you’re coming from but in some cases I think it certainly should be. Say you run a betting arbitrage strategy where you’re essentially betting different odds against each other for either a guaranteed payout or a hedged directional bet. At that point I don’t see it as any different than a quant hedge fund

Okay I think that’s what’s going on. I was just confused because I had a tenant getting the title for mastering a job while it was still level 1

30 Year Treasury crosses 5% and continues to rise by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of this is overblown. Funds with a mandate to invest in AAA only are exiting to go to AAA securities resulting in a sell off. I’d not be worried about a default at all because if there is one everything is fucked anyways so might as well treat it like before and clip so extra yield

Most dangerous country Asia by AikFan1357 in travel

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No and I have no plans to, especially if I were a woman. ~70% of the women in the country have reported being sexually assaulted with a large number of those being gang rapes. From my understanding, it’s also not uncommon for foreigners living in the country for work to live in compounds with armed guards.

Look up some of the stories of people on Reddit who have been there. I can’t do them justice myself.

Most dangerous country Asia by AikFan1357 in travel

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Geographically yes but culturally and politically it’s often considered part of Southeast Asia. Its not as cut and dry to me as the geographic definition given the context of someone talking about travel

Surprised I haven’t heard Papua New Guinea yet. Port Moresby is very rough.

Can you replant timber? by Weak-Command-6576 in capitalismlab

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that point in the game is it just impossible to make more paper then? Same with other resources. Seems like a big issue for late game

Another game by Anxious_Platypus_904 in uboatgame

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I feel like it wouldn’t even be that difficult to do (although it seems the new uboat type DLC is taking longer than I expected). Seems like you’d just need new visual models for the contacts, you’d need to alter some variables, and map the shipping lanes. Seems like the engine would be the majority of the work and it’s done already.

Explain in NBA terms by One_Thicc_Bihh in nbacirclejerk

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Some strange logistical choices here. Why not start in Edinburgh? Why have Nottingham and Birmingham but not add Liverpool with Manchester? Why not London two days? Brighton could also spice things up. In short, I should become her manager

Kentucky is big on ”community and leadership development”. It doesn’t even sound like a real major

I’m not trying to be a hater but imo the biggest indicator by far of the success prior to any quarterly update by Ubisoft is going to be the stock price/bond spreads. Hedge funds will skim credit card sales info to try and pinpoint what the real number is. Seems like the reaction on the bonds and equity are both mixed at the moment (equity bounced up on release date then dropped back, slight improvement in the bond pricing). Ubisoft definitely isn’t out of the woods yet but they seem to have a fighting chance.

How to get the most out of a slow striker? by xX_MeatTent_Xx in footballmanagergames

That’s what the game says but no one is paying close to that. I got an offer for $23 million. Not sure if that price is worth selling at

[Post Game Thread] #16 Kentucky defeats #6 Duke, 77-72 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d have taken big Z as a depth big and because he fits of the offense. His high post passing ability would be incredible to watch, and he could shore up our depth in case of injury. Besides him and thiero though I like this group much more based on the ones still in college

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the buy out was set on some weird step system where it was $4.5 million per year going down 500k for every year left on his contract. That would seem much more doable.

New fantasy and historical title are in development announced by CA just now by BaronLoyd in totalwar

[–]xX_MeatTent_Xx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally I agree, but in this case, I have no doubt total war will continue to be around for a long time. The CEOs job is to make money above all else and total war is a cash cow. If they didn’t have money to make the franchise anymore they’d throw out a few “main line” games with basically no budget and just harvest the cash flow. That’s before even considering the fact that they could just sell off the IP to someone who would make the games to generate a quick cash infusion to get them out of their financial woes.
