Sorry to nitpick, and I know what you mean, but 1-2 under par on each hole you would be shooting ~45-55 which would basically be the best in the world :)

1-2 over par is shooting 90-100 which is much more achievable :)


Thanks, fixed that.

12v Cummins in the Dodge Ram pre-'95 would fit this. I used to want one for this reason.


there are ways to cover yourself, either buy a put (like he mentioned) or if you are short shares then buy a call. both of these have defined risk. also more advanced options strategies would let you adjust where you'd profit and where your risk is in the trade


Go back.

The joke on 4chins actually is that the Jannies do it for free. Never cared to fact check it, but it is a popular saying.

Also sage in all fields


It isn't a monthly subscription. Its an annual subscription broken up into 12 payments.

I understand that there was a lawsuit and all that, I read through part of the Adobe thread from the other day. I am not defending Adobe in that regard.

If you only want the software for 2-3 months, the month-to-month agreement is available, but if you have a longer-term need for the software you get a discount for committing to a year's worth. If you take the discount, pay the cheaper monthly cost and then cancel before the end of the commitment, a penalty seems fair.

Again I am not defending whatever obfuscation of terms that led to the oft-mentioned lawsuit, just that there seems to be some confusion about monthly and annual commitments.


I had no idea a monthly subscription was even available. You have to ask the website in my region for “more details and more plans” to even see the monthly subscription.

Also because they offer “a discount” on the first year here, it’s 38€ month/yearly plan or 104€ a month/monthly.

I don’t know. If you’re going to allow Adobe to buy its competitors and monopolise entire regions of our economy, this seems a bit shit.


I've always disagreed with single-payer/universal/govt-supplied healthcare for various reasons, but hadn't thought about this angle.

Thank you for bringing this up


I'm happy to help someone see a different perspective on things!


I didn't read his comment as saying that HN is turning into Reddit, just a bit of a joke about some people not minding or flexing the intensity of the "idle" state of their lab


Seems to be from the book "Time Enough for Love"
