So you forgot it was Father’s Day this weekend. Happens to the best of us. If you’re still looking for that perfect gift for both new and experienced dads, we've got you covered. 1/ wired.trib.al/bc1rpaZ
Give Dad the gift of sweet silence with the Sony WH1000XM3. They’re the best noise cancelling headphones we’ve tried, and they’ll help him relax, even if the world around him never does. 2/ wired.trib.al/bc1rpaZ
A good dad is an even better dad when swathed in comfortable, moisture-wicking polyester that simultaneously allows him to keep his arms free and mobile. Bonus: this Patagonia vest is currently $30 off. 3/ wired.trib.al/bc1rpaZ
If you have an outdoorsy pops, go for the GoPro Hero7 so he can caption all of the action on his hikes and other adventures. 4/ wired.trib.al/bc1rpaZ
Give Dad the gift of in-house cappuccinos with our favorite espresso machine, the Mr. Coffee One-Touch CoffeeHouse. It’s easy to use and relatively affordable, but the Mr. Coffee Café Barista is also on sale if you’re looking for a budget option. 5/ wired.trib.al/bc1rpaZ
If your dad’s a big reader, a Kindle is an excellent gift that lasts for years (and stays alive up to a month on a single battery charge). 6/ wired.trib.al/bc1rpaZ
Still need some inspiration? Check out our full list of ideas for dad here: 7/ wired.trib.al/bc1rpaZ

How much do you think an online disinformation campaign costs? $5k? $10k? Try $250. As Alphabet subsidiary Jigsaw found out—somewhat controversially—a targeted troll campaign is easily within reach for not just governments, but individuals like you 1/ wired.trib.al/ktHDnT9
In March 2018, after hiring a security firm to sniff around Russian-language black-market and gray-market web forums, Jigsaw paid an underground disinformation vendor called SEOTweet to attack an anti-Stalin website it had created 2/ wired.trib.al/ktHDnT9
For just $500, SEOTweet offered to remove the site from the web altogether with fraudulent complaints that it hosted abusive content. Jigsaw declined but had its security firm pay $250 for a social media campaign. It provided no further instructions 3/ wired.trib.al/ktHDnT9

Ah, robocalls. You probably get them multiple times a week, if not multiple times a day. With 4.7 billion robocalls last month, it's safe to say they've escalated from nuisance to disaster. Here's what you can do about it: 1/ wired.trib.al/KMiwS05
The four major wireless carriers all offer apps or services that block spam calls, or at least label them as suspicious, so you know not to pick up. And, for most of them at least, they're free to use. 2/ wired.trib.al/KMiwS05
There’s also third-party apps, if you’re willing to exchange your call data for some relief from the robots. RoboKiller ($1/month) and Nomorobo ($2/month) came out of anti-robocalling incubators run by the FTC a few years ago, and have grown in popularity since. 3/

Welcome to the World Slime Convention. It’s part craft fair, part celebrity meet and greet, and part young entrepreneurs conference—all wrapped in pastel and rainbow. 1/ wired.trib.al/pQOnZEI
Roughly 5,000 people filed into the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center in April to meet their favorite slime stars and buy slime products. 2/ wired.trib.al/pQOnZEI
Slime, at its most basic, is just water, school glue, and powdered sodium borate, also known as borax, a common household cleaning agent.

But it has taken on a life of its own and it’s taking the social media world by storm.

Father's Day
He may not be able to open up a card or present from you so your gift to him is to use what he gave you. You will feel like honoring his spirit, what he taught you, how he raised you and how he lived.
If your Father has passed, this Sunday in June can be a tough 24 hours. You have this love to give to your dear old Dad, but he is no longer with you physically. The commercialized aspect of the day illuminates the absence of him, and u can feel the pains of grief all over again.
For those of you experiencing your first Father's Day without Dad, this can be especially raw. The year of "firsts" after you lose someone special is something that you have to walk through, and not around. And it is not easy.

Let's chat about building a R community within your office. I was the only R user in the office and I also wanted people I could go to for help and just thought partner to solve problems. So, here are some of my lessons learned from building a R culture in the office!
👇👇
📌Lesson 1: Don't tell or lecture about the benefits of #rstats, instead show them a demonstration!

People generally are motivated when they see how easy it is to start something small and with a specific example!

my ex: being able to work with multiple dataframes concurrently.
📌Lesson 2: Not every training has to carefully planned!

Sometimes the spontaneous help you offer to a colleague is still training. This training was timely, concise and helped them cross the roadblock.

Ex: I wrote down a quick #STATA to #R translation on a post-it note.

R:R thread.
Profitable traders are PATIENT.
If I'm watching a trade I'm almost always expecting it to dip a small bit further from my desired entry.
Only 1 person catches the exact bottom. It's never going to be you.
Find an entry where your R:R is satisfactory to increase your success.
Before I enter a trade am I thinking:

"I Don't want to miss out on 15% in profits."

Or are am I thinking:

"I don't want to lose 15% of my capital."

Am I comfortable losing 15% of my capital on a trade?

Can I be patient and wait for a set up to only risk 3-5% of my capital?

JEONGCHEOL SOULMATES AU;

When you turn 18, a glowing mark appears on your wrist, this exact mark also appears on the wrist of the one whom you're bound to be with.

But one day, the glow of the mark on Jeonghan's wrist faded into pitch black.

His soulmate died.

Jeonghan was five years old when he noticed something glowing on the wrists of his parents.

He was curious why his parents had a glowing rose marked on their wrists. His eyes always trailed to it, silently wanting to know what was it and why they had it.
