My heart goes out to those still searching.

I'm in my twenties, have a BS Economics, MS Quantitative Economics, MS Risk Management all from T-50 schools. Obviously not great by any stretch, but decent enough to get something entry level - or so I thought. Close to 1,000 resumes later and only 2 interviews.

Keep in mind I'm applying to everything relevant... even applied to jobs paying minimum wage within the field... and nothing, absolutely nothing.

2 MS degrees in relevant subjects and nothing. Oof.

I work now in structured finance only because I had a family friend refer me. Give me a fucking break.

The markets cooked and I pray for all those continuing to search.

was watching Yung ill vs t Rex and I was crying all of Rex's verse, ts was hilarious

sometimes im walking around my apartment and I just blurt out in k shines voice " TALK TO THAT NIGGA REX"

Hi, if you know of a more accurate subreddit to post this in please let me know. Also, I am an extreme newbie to all of this, so please ask for clarification if needed and I will try my best.

I recorded myself drilling pickleball earlier today on my Sony ZV e10 I at 4k 30fps. When I plugged my SD card into my computer to watch the tapes, the video was noticeably choppy - not terrible, but enough to make me lose my mind... the video goes blurry one second, than refocuses(?) the next for the entire length of each video (filmed at different angles; I can provide if needed but prefer not to). I filmed 6 videos roughly at 5, 6 minutes each.

The funny thing is when I watch that same video on my iPad (I'm watching now in 1080p) the video looks so much smoother. Why do you think this is?

I am drilling again tomorrow and think I will film in 1080p 120fps as I have read that frame rate is more important than resolution for sports videos, but want some feedback from people other than GPT or Claude.

Thanks in advance

*quick aside: im self studying statistics and thought this was pretty insane and wanted to share

If you assume male height follows a normal distribution (fair assumption imo), being 6'6" is about as statistically rare as being 5'0".

The average U.S. adult male is about 5'9" and the standard deviation (variation of height from man to man) is roughly 2.8–3.0 inches. That puts a 6'6" man about 3 standard deviations above the mean, while a 5'0" man is about 3 standard deviations below it.

Under a normal distribution, those are mirror images, meaning each represents roughly 0.13% of the population (about 1 in 740 men).

Intuitively i thought 6'6" is much more common than 5'0", but the normal distribution says they're essentially equally rare - presumably because basketball (which i and many others in NA watch) has an average of 6'7" per player (which for an average to be that high in a league of a couple hundred players is just stupid rare)

Unfortunately, most people don't see short people as just as rare as someone who is quite tall which is a shame, but I digress

Sources if you wanna check yourself or do other calculations:

- CDC Anthropometric Reference Data (2021–2023): average male height ≈ 68.9 in (5'8.9").

- Historical CDC anthropometric data: mean ≈ 69.1 in with a 2.8 in standard deviation.

I came across Heavybag Coop vs. Litty Rocc on iBattleTV on YouTube. The battle has 656 views at the moment of writing this. The link to the battle is attached and the bar I am referring to is at the 7:00 minute mark. Let me know if you have any favorites, and if possible, please name the rappers.

The bar I really enjoy is:

"You don't know pain, that's the only thing i wish a n***a would take from me

This ain't make believe

Cuz, at 22 they literally had me facing 23

In other words, I was guarding jordan and i ain't make the league."

Absolutely disgusting 🤢🤮

I'm new to battle rap and don't come from a culture that engages in it at all publicly (I'm in structured finance lol) and cannot understand for the life of me why B Magic vs

Pass has under 80k views on YouTube???

I understand 80k is a LOT for an average battle, but for 2 LEGENDS like B Magic and Pass - AND the battle was insane... Pass left earth the 2nd round... maybe one of the best 2nds I've ever seen... all for 80k???

Any thoughts?

I have a family member who works a 9-5 and then manages real estate (they're a landlord) in the evenings and weekends.

They suggest it's passive income, but they're not 'passive' about managing it... they're actually quite proactive. Whenever something goes wrong (leak, tenant complaints, heater breaks down, etc.), they're on it right away.

I understood passive income as something I can put money in and let it generate income... so maybe real estate is more of a side hustle than passive income - what do y'all think?
