  • I played MGS for the first time recently, and it felt like a PS2 game with older graphics. Would've blown my mind as a kid if I had it back then...with a guide, too. Otherwise, I never would've figured a bunch of that stuff out, haha

  • I understand the skepticism on society's priorities.

    Athletes are literally 1-in-a-million individuals. They bring in crazy amounts of money from people who want to watch them play.

    The real problem is that there are so many people who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to watch a sports game, but not willing to see teachers properly compensates (in my opinion). Because athletes getting a big share of the pie that they're bringing in sounds fair to me. The question is why people have that much pie to give them, and not as much pie to give to schools.

  • I have an Excel file for recurring expenses with dates of recurrence and auto-calculated yearly and monthly totals, and these factor into my monthly/yearly "budgets". And thus, into how much I need to maintain my emergency fund!

  • That's a good idea! I do things differently (basically adding money to different "pools" to use for different categories), but if I need to forecast how much I'm going to spend on things, this would really help.

    I tend to assume that something I buy will last forever (unless it's explicitly replaceable)...but that's basically never the case these days.

  • I think the question is usually frames as "how many people does it take to make it at least 50% likely that two people will share a birthday", or more likely than not etc.

    A guarantee would need 366 people. But most people are satisfied with "more likely than not", "90% chance", or "99% chance".

    EDIT: I meant 367, not 366!
