@Ki_fun_thoughts @DanielParker_13 I liked all the above and below except I don’t follow the Medium article. His 2/3 is never an option.

@mfnicholson1 @DanielParker_13 After years of teaching these types of logic problems, I perhaps should write up one for these semantic + maths questions to show that even still, some can be solved, or at least given probably logical results. brkvw.medium.com/the-monty-hall…

This is interesting to me. Many (most) people think this is a paradox. This implies to me that people can't follow instructions.

@DanielParker_13 @Ki_fun_thoughts The way to get the better grade is to argue for the point with the prof during office hours, thus ‘beating the curve.’ Having lived this I wish I could remember who tipped me off about this (after I’d left the school.)

@DanielParker_13 @Ki_fun_thoughts And to derail the reasonable: at a top university, the profs expect the students to all be able to give the right answer because they’re all super smart. The profs need a bell curve for grades, so they make ambiguous Qs & As to create variety in outcomes.

@Ki_fun_thoughts I prefer instagram for learning

Name a single thing you have learned here on x․com that will make your entire life better. [While we wait - the odds are you will not make a single new lifelong friend before you die. Take stock of your current friends, and shore up those relationships ]

DISTRESS WARNING: About 38,000 med students just found out where they got matched to residency 40 minutes ago. I’ve already spoken to one who is grateful he matched his #1 spot in his chosen field (after switching residencies & specialties after intern year). He now feels excited, honored, guilt, & imposter syndrome. I’ve spoken to suicidal unmatched applicants who are devastated. In the last 15 years I’ve spoken to mothers & fathers who lost their beloved children to suicide after not matching where they wanted to go. I have a stack of obituaries of beautiful souls who gave up after a temporary set back that is FIXABLE. Please 🙏 please do not make any impulsive self-harm decisions today. You have many people who love you & your life is just starting. I’m here if you want to talk right now. I’ll even take you out to dinner tonight if you happen to be anywhere near Chanel Hill NC.

@octal lol, I wonder how they treat (or dismiss?) patients with altered mental status/ LOC. For comparison: 2005 complicated appendicitis in Boston requiring 3 hospital visits: $55,000. (Presumably would have been less if I hadn’t been sent home from ER before appy perforated.)

YouTuber goes to Myanmar to film a food review episode, gets appendicitis, goes to top tier hospital with VIP private room/etc., pays $2400 for surgery and recovery. LOL at "level 4" state department warnings. youtube.com/watch?v=YpCxNT…

@Ki_fun_thoughts Lol ok, no longer thinking of financial statements. Given the people we know, the responses could have been quite varied.

@mfnicholson1 ... think about it.

I once was asked to give a talk to a group of a dozen execs. When I walked in, they all went quiet, giving me their attention. I'm not burdened with filters, and I blurted out 'are you all trying to live long enough to be on money.' You now know what the room looked like.

@octal They also need to do a “no perfume/ air freshener” filter

I would pay $100/yr to add a demographic filter to my uber drivers (ironically the opposite of the one they offer).

@octal Woah for all the ‘supplements’ left out! (Fine print at bottom.)

We are number one at something :(

People out there really think doctors don't want to "cure" you of disease because then we'll run out of patients. Buddy, there will always be people with disease. Every physician on earth could cure 40 people per day, every day, for 100 years, and guess what? There will still be 40 new people with disease for us to cure the next day.

@AdamDraper lol beauty is in the eye of

@mfnicholson1 Nice shoes.

I don’t trust founders who have nice shoes.

@MikeJM65 @iBladesi recheck, mine was liquidated and then restored. (?!?!?)

@iBladesi I officially got margin called by ibkr. Don’t think they did anything too crazy. Started with nly.f and then a few smaller trades. Fills were actually ok. My bad. Way over leveraged. Never expected preferreds & mreits to go down like this. I had a big ten year hedge but no work.

looks like someone fat fingered RWTN and bought 25.25. RWTP is where it's at at 24.05ish

@RoaringSensei @IBKR mine was liquidated with a warning to my phone due to margin. Online showed appropriate net cash and "no positions." Within the hour everything 'restored' except net due to decreasing share prices.

WHAT. A. DAY. 😬 1) Watched my account go quarter of a MIILION in the red in 1 second. IBKR says "glitch" 💀 2) Got myself 3k more $SOFI shares ✊🏻 3) $GME explodes whilst the market tanks 💥 4) Got assigned on my 2 x $125 $GME CSPs (22.50 avg) 😳 5) Made $174 profit after repositioning over 100 trades. 🤣 NEED SLEEP.

@Ki_fun_thoughts sent you whatsapp

Humans default to blaming others If someone is even partially to blame, they will instantly blame those that are the most to blame, and then they will go down the list blaming anyone else even if the other person is less to blame. Stop that, own your part

@FlyFrontier @FTC @FAANews @tailorapp @Gladwell @X Thank you @patriciaz_iir, Frontier refunded the $ and reinstated the miles at no cost but the supervisor was not able to refer me to pre-purchase info about $75 reinstatement fee. They sent a 38 page document and couldn’t indicate a paragraph to see

@FlyFrontier @FTC @FAANews @tailorapp I can hear this narrated by @Gladwell … in the time it took @FlyFrontier to get a supervisor (initially refused) the customer revealed on @X the company’s deceptive practice of Selling a “no change/ no cancellation fee” ticket
