Which nerd, and/or which sub?
How can you tell? Same user name? My Reddit username is something random they assigned. But if someone saw me comment on actuarial stuff and then in another sub, they could probably guess who I am.
There’s at least GoA username in the redditverse, and another individual who references the profession in their Reddit username.
I won’t say how I know, but I was able to deduce!
I also have a Reddit username that’s the same as my handle here that I use to discuss Actuary stuff on Reddit. But it’s not my only Reddit username, because I don’t really like all my worlds colliding.

I see CS on Reddit… and there is another one who uses their AO or GoA handle but I can’t recall who. I ran into T-Roy once randomly on Reddit, and then promptly forgot his user name.
If anyone runs into me I’d be mildly surprised, most of my posts are in somewhat arcane subs.

I am occasionally on the quilting sub, but I mostly comment, don’t post all that much. When I do post, it would be obvious who I am, since I post the same quilts here.

I saw ANOTHER ACTUARY on a totally random, non-actuarial sub. This one, I’m not sure if it’s any of you. I saw the avatar and recognized it, then recognized the user as someone who frequently posts on r/actuary.
I rarely even register the usernames, so this is bizarre.

Sounds a lot like one of us, but I thought that was in Jersey. (Though bamboo? Not sure why I think that.)
was that Lois Lane?

Yes
A neighbor planted some bamboo across the street before I moved to my current house. They kept it contained, but it’s very tall and dense on one side of the house. They sold the house, and the new owners aren’t very diligent about their yard maintenance. Shoots have now jumped across the sidewalk into the area between the sidewalk and the street. There are at least 10 today I’d guess, all still small. Their neighbors have immaculate landscaping and so far have managed to beat it back from taking over their yard. I imagine they may be annoyed.
I assume the shoots can’t cross the street to my side.

Are there seeds that are spread?
Like, by a wild panda?
Ah: underground stems, according to teh googles
This summer’s Hollywood blockbuster…mild mannered actuary in epic street battle - fights shoots and leaves.
Close! I used to work in NJ and live just over the border in PA.
Ah.
I could tell by the accent.

More of a hearing than a sighting:
I’m driving along and I hear a commercial for a local horse racing track. The main character is an actuary who “wagers” rather than bets. The commercial was perfectly meh.
