The perfect way to mourn your mundane life.
Not a fan of this specific one but the general idea of this kind of top, where can I find similar tops? I recall they were also popular around 2020, at least in Europe. If you watch love is blind habibi, Safa in episode 2 seems to have some sort of statement top as well, but don't think it's sheer. Would be nice to find it but I can't take a screenshot on netflix. Thanks!

2 questions i'd like to understand about DCF models which I am learning: 1) I understand the difference between growth capex and maintenance capex, but what if I want to only put in maintenance every 5 or 10 years? is there a formula that I can use to say incorporate maintenance capex every 5 years? 2) we assume that assets are ready to use right away but what if they are not? For example, what if I have an asset but some of them are not ready to use, like a forest but some trees are not ready to be cut down or cows and some are not ready to produce milk. My starting revenue would increase every year, presumably by some given growth rate, but my starting capacity would change, so how do I incorporate both?

Seems like a basic safety/planning kind of question since you’d be in the middle of a body of water
I think so, too. Swimming with a life jacket in my opinion is more difficult than swimming without one. However, I would think that treading water is more difficult than swimming with a life jacket so maybe if swimming with a life jacket is the expectation, then that's ok.

Backing it up one step further, a common beginner mistake is to decide on a destination irrespective of the wind direction. This sometimes makes sailing more difficult than it needs to be and can result in the unnecessary torturing of guests as the captain stubbornly pounds into wind and wave to achieve a destination not superior to other options that would provide a more congenial travel experience.
this is really helpful, thank you!
If you want to take someone sailing on a boat and you ask them if they can swim, what exactly are you asking? Everyone can float if they have a life jacket right? My understanding is that someone is being asked if they can take care of themselves and/or tread water until they are rescued and/or if they are a strong swimmer, but I could be wrong.

420 or laser type boat
I've recently learnt to sail but when I'm on the water, all of my theory goes out of my head. Can someone please explain the steps of sailing or confirm what I've written below? 1) check the wind direction 2) think of where I want to navigate to and point the boat relative to the wind. 3) think of the points of sail. For the boat's position relative to the wind, change the main sail to the respective point of sail and the wind will catch the sail. 4) use the main sheet to keep the sail in the "point of sail" direction that the wind should be in. 5) make very small movements to keep the boat going straight towards my target 6) once i'm going straight, check the sail if it's luffing periodically and trim the sail if necessary when tacking, 1) use the tiller to turn the boat around, either pull it fully towards or away from me 2) once the boat is turned around, pull the tiller so that it's now straight and you can let the tiller handle lay on the side of the boat 3) switch sides as usual thank you!

hmm maybe there is health insurance but it wasnt mentioned during the initial call. i ask for compensation of 90-100K, said it was negotiable and expect it will be negotiated down, at least it wont be 65K.
Pat12 3mo ago • 100%
Not sure what that means but yeah, no health plan or stock options. There's a 401K with some matching. It's just the salary with the bonus.
Pat12 3mo ago • 100%
10% annual and prorated. no other compensation. just salary and up to 10% bonus. no gym membership or housing etc mentioned.
Pat12 3mo ago • 100%
bonus is up to 10%
i can deal with work-related stress but if i have to worry about paying bills, that's what i completely want to avoid.
I am interviewing with a company where they are offering $65K/year in NYC for an analyst (junior level) role. The senior analyst position is $85K/year. These salaries seem extremely low for NYC (although I'm not from NYC or even the US). What would be an appropriate salary to ask for for a junior analyst role? It involves financial modelling. I want this kind of job but I also want to be able to live without too much stress.

this was a weapon that's possibly used in medieval times (definitely long before 20th century). The main part may have been a sword and the hilt could be unscrewed or somehow used as a club. Thanks!
I am from HK and have travelled around Taiwan, etc so it would be nice to find some dishes that are close to home
Would this type of dress in navy blue be too much to attend an Andrea Bocelli concert?
I was recently in an accident and cannot exercise; particularly, I cannot put weight on my feet or lay my feet on the ground. Consequently, I have to maintain my weight purely through diet. I typically aim for around 1300 calories/day. So far I have: - breakfast: fried egg/egg white on toast with a glass of water (about 200 cals) - lunch: chicken breast, small piece of bread, with a large spinach salad (about 300 cals) - afternoon snack ? - dinner ? Thank you.

Ignoring the fact that gender dysphoria is a real thing whereas hysteria isn’t,
I'm not sure how you can make this your premise; back then hysteria was very much "a real thing". Also one could say that doctors have manipulated people undergoing surgery now into giving consent

I got downvoted recently for saying "If you’re friends with someone, wouldn’t you want to know if they’re also friends with someone problematic?" and "I would definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who’d been in prison."

Though to an extent, the lack of community, especially amongst children is due to the complete lack of independence and they have to depend on their parents to drive them everywhere.
where do you live that there's not even a playground or a residential street within walking distance of your home?

When I'm feeling blue about something for a while, I do try to exercise daily. I don't know whether or not endorphins make a difference for me but I do not that I feel more awake after exercising. I like the feeling that I accomplished something for that day and it keeps my routine regular. The alternative that I can spend a lot of time thinking about something troubling me and I'm not productive.

I wouldn't use "never get to experience" but i would say it's much harder to have that real sense of community that we easily found in the 90s, early 2000s, etc.
People are more connected to others but still more isolated from others. We were less connected to other people back then so people made a real effort to come up with fun activities and bond together. For kids, it's the lack of just playing outside in the neighbourhood with friends. For adults, it's the lack of third places and community/religious events.
The closest word I can think of is a sycophant but that's too strong word and not exactly what I'm looking for. The word I'm thinking of has negative connotations and it's for someone who is friends with different groups but only at a superficial level and isn't necessarily honest about who all they're friends with. This person would be seen as untrustworthy.
many east asian dishes included some ready made sauce like 豆瓣酱 or 柱侯酱 in chinese cuisines or 고추장 in korean cuisine. These sauces make our dishes delicious but unfortunately they are very high in salt and/or sugars. Is there some way to make the dishes with these sauces from scratch or without such high salt/sugar? We often have to add sugar in the dish in addition to the sauces. Thanks. I'm sure this is a similar problem in other cuisines but my question is just about east asian cuisines. edit: i'm referring to homemade food, not restaurant food.
There are organizations like Save a Family Plan where you can sponsor a family who is living in poverty overseas and help give them funds for education etc. Are there any organizations like this for Canadian families? I tried searching online but it kept showing results for how to sponsor one's family to come to Canada (like to immigrate). Thanks. I'm aware of the perils of microcredit so i'd rather not get involved with something where the person might have extortionate interest rates or there's a loan to be paid, i am talking about microfinance where there is money directly given to the family in need and it is used to help make the family self sufficient.
When i was very young and learning beginner spanish, i thought it was taught that in some parts of latin america, they use some plural form instead of tu when speaking. Is this correct or am I misremembering?
For example, pad thai should be balanced between sweet, sour, and salty. Indian dishes don't have meat as the feature in a dish but rather it's added for some texture; the dish itself is the feature. Hunan cooking is dry and hot and often sour and differs from Sichuan cooking which it's often compared against. Generally speaking in Asian cuisines, if you don't cook the spices exactly correctly, it will change the taste of the dish quite a bit. As a francophone, i can say that french-based cooking is an art as the ingredients are traditional basics that are in season. The food should be delicate or have a cut (e.g. a creamy cheese should have something acidic to cut it like a nice wine). It is the combination of the techniques (method of cutting ingredients like julienne style or method of cooking like flambee, saute, etc.) to create the dish.
Recently found Bronx and Banco and it looks very similar to Self-Portrait. Is the quality different?
