Man this sport…
You can have a good session one day and then the next one just makes you want to give up forever.

@fat ralphyyes it still feels new and exciting after taking such an extended break.
It’s cliche but realise now it’s very much a marathon not a sprint, or even a race. A lot of people training 5x per week will come and go.
My main focus is on avoiding injury, putting on a few kg of muscle and fitting in training in a way that doesn’t detract from my family duties. Which I realise now I can do if I don’t drink alcohol but as soon as I do, training inevitably stops. Live and learn.

A refresh button and/or a small loading bar would be nice.

I didn’t think I wanted an app but it works really well and I find myself visiting more often. It feels nice and light in the iPhone.

If you take the theory of "it is time in the game" in regards to investment as the successful property investors I know have taught Me, whereby it is easier to just forget about sunk cost investments (ie those whereby you invest savings that you have no immediate reason to access in the mid-term) until you need the funds as daily checking movements is just a headfuck that will only bring stress into your life/mind which you are better off without.
As raven said above, all investments are a gamble and if you can invest with the mentality you are ready to write off and lose all the money then that is the mindset that will see whatever mid-long term gains you will get as being the true value of any "win" you may get using the philosophy I have noted here.
Yeah I’m 70% invested in an index tracker, buy every month with a view to ‘never sell’.
I treat crypto a bit different though as it’s so volatile yet somewhat cyclical, it appears to be for now at least.

Haha I never understood why some people get salty over Ezekiel’s.
I’m averaging about 1-2 hours per week, which is fine for me given how busy life is. I am Supplementing with instructionals which makes a big difference. Just finished Danaher 4x4 mount dvd which was really good and easy to implement.
However, after the last couple of classes I apparently need to go back and learn pin escapes and guard retention lol.

you should post and keep posting about it. It’s inevitable that it’ll attract criticism. Investments are speculative by nature and this one being as impactful and threatening as it is to the establishment is a magnet for naysayers and haters. Some are genuinely threatened, others are just caught up in the mix being churned up by them. Rest is just the peanut galley that enjoys making noise and poking fingers from the sideline.
None are reason to not discuss and spread the word. Plus your track record speaks for itself. Unsure if anything else that a person can invest in, other than themselves, have seen the type of returns that BTC has.
I bought some ETH after learning about it on here a few years ago and rode it all the way up, back down and now back up again.
It’s a modest amount so the difficult is trying to take any sort of profit, without fomo.

Shit I've been lurking here 20+ years. I guess around 15 & 37.

Has anyone tried something like this: https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid
It uses Plex but allows you to search and stream from torrents near instantly.
I'm going to give it a go when I have a couple of hours spare.

@fat ralphyNo not from injury, it was a combination of covid lockdown. Then switching jobs, further away from the gym. Then I had a new baby to go with the new job.
Then somehow 3 years went by...
I have a new gym now, 10 mins from home - so no excuses (ish).
I was managing 3-4x per week before covid. These days, I am content with 1 - 2x, supplemented with some home study.

I'm slowly getting back to training after a 3 year break.
I stayed watching Bjj (highlights, breakdowns and tutorials) for most of this time and feel like despite the time off, I think my overall game is much better than it was.
Let's see if this feeling lasts!

tl;dr
Haha yeah fair enough.
TLDR: anyone do data analysis and/or data science as a job?
-
I don't know if this is the right place for this but I figured someone might have some advice so here we go...
I am kind of stuck in a industry I don't find very interesting or rewarding (supply chain management) and whilst the pay is ok (slightly above the average London salary) it's not amazing.
I am in my mid 30's, have a child etc etc and want to change jobs and earn more money.
One part of the job I do enjoy is the analysis side and I think I would enjoy working as a data analyst/BI analyst.
It looks like there are a lot of well paid jobs out there but I don't know how I would switch over without taking a very junior role and major paycut.
I have developed decent business acumen over the years and have some experience with MySQL, Power BI and Excel and producing KPI reports, spend analysis etc.
My plan is to improve the following skills through online courses/websites:
Advanced Excel
SQL - MySQL
Power BI + DAX/Tableau
Read a book/do a course on statistics
Then:
Python - Matplotlib, pandas, NumPy etc
Along with a general course or cert on data analysis and watch the rest of CS50.
And volunteering myself for data projects at work.
Then I plan to create an online portfolio showing a few options of personal and professional projects and try market myself as a freelancer., in order to help apply for a job.
I may have to completely rewrite my resume and get a bit creative with the truth to get a look in.
I know the above skills can take a lifetime to master but I also feel like 80% of the time you can do a good job with relatively basic technical skills and a strong understanding of what is important to running a business.
So anyway, that's my plan for the next 12 months. My concerns are that I don't have a stem degree or real experience as an actual analyst so would be lacking the stuff they don't teach you. I do think I'd be good but know I will have massive imposter syndrome applying for anything beyond a very junior role.
I think my dream would be to transition to data analyst role within 12 months,
Get to a good salary/freelance within 5 years (salaries are generally a LOT lower here than in the US)
Then maybe learn a bit more about the cross over with data science over the longer term (10 years).
If anyone fucks with any of this, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Anyone into NFT's?
I can see they have a bit of utility and longevity in allowing people to support creators and then being able to personalise your online presence (if that's your thing) but I still can't understand how you can trade them to make money without getting lucky.
I'm also an NFT noob but this podcast helped me understand the concept better...
Also, shout out to whoever said to cop some NuCypher (maybe casek?), you made me some money!

@Dirty_habiT interesting. I’m a super coding novice but have wondered about people doing this sort of thing.
What does the bot do?
-
It will tell you what coins you have, how many and what their current value is.
Is that what you mean?

So essentially I am buying a portion of a coin?
Also will apps like Gemini hold and track everything for me - no need for crypto wallets etc
/nooboner
You can buy whatever so either a fraction of a coin OR a whole coin or multiple coins.
You can leave your money on the exchange wallet (Gemini) but there's the risk they go under or get hacked. The safest option for wallet is generally thought to be a hardware wallet.

@poes2/3rds ETH, 1/3rd BTC now, and just shitcoin collection less than 1% Too much riding on crypto to risk it on anything speculative, or anything that isn't in high demand for actual use. Don't think ADA is anything to sleep on, just have confidence there's plenty of room for growth in ETH/BTC.
Bitcoin is now a trillion dollar plus world reserve currency. Ethereum is providing almost everything else the dim age financial industry offered, and then some in the decentralized realm of finance, and is moving into scalability/POS with a 90% network effect already built in.
Thanks, obviously not your first rodeo.
This IS my first rodeo and have gone from being all about ETH to some crypto-euphoria FOMO/YOLO options. It's treated me well so far but will make an effort to reign in it a bit before I get burnt.
I read this recently which got me excited about ETH again after the price hasn't moved much for a couple of months:

Just dumped all my ADA for BTC. No more large shitcoin bags to hold.
Are you just in btc n eth now?
I’m thinking about consolidating in a month or two.

Planning on keeping ADA for a couple of years I think.
Currently holding (largest to smallest):
Coti
Orn
Eth
BTC
ADA

I recently made the switch to a password manager after years of thinking about it and it's really not that hard, and you feel way more secure.
I use Bitwarden (free) which works pretty well on iphone, plus browser add ons and desktop app.

Staking rewards just went up from 4.21% to almost 7% for ADA. Your first 20 days of staking you don't get anything, after that new ADA is automatically assigned to your account.
I've got a shit ton of ADA from 2017, and started Staking January 5th 2021, so in just under 40 days of staking (60 minus the 20 day wait), I've earned earned 4.214% 333.43081(ADA) equals roughly $390. Income of $300 a month means I can move to certain places in the world (that I actually like) and live relatively comfortably.
My strategy this cycle was to move most of my stash into Bitcoin while everyone else is going crazy for ADA during Alt season. I've decided not to, and stack/stake more ADA since I think my position in ETH, is too damn high. Hard to guess if I'm just FOMO ing here when I see a coin go up, but that staking income can literally, and finally grant me freedom, and allow me to pursue passion projects.
Not trying to flex here, just want to encourage anyone reading this to start saving up now, buy a little bit of crypto every month over the next 3 to 4 years if you don't like working hourly wages/salary. You'll also be protected from the impending monetary crisis. To anyone thinking now is a good time to buy Cardano/ADA, I'd just invest in BTC until next February, then flip that into ADA.
Where have you staked your ADA? I'm staked on Daedulus but find the desktop only app super cumbersome.

If anyone is interested, I ended up going with Real Debrid & Stremio combo. It works by streaming torrents instantly so you can watch a 60 gig blu ray file without even downloading it. Works amazingly well and easy to set up and costs next to nothing.
