- Comment on We hardly remember how our parents raised us when we were newborn/infants. How can we be expected to raise our own kids after they are born ? 1 day ago:
By existing in a state of anything from mild anxiety to outright panic about the welfare of the squidgy crying thing, googling anything that seems abnormal and learning they usually cry about 4 things: Hungry Temperature is wrong Nappy Tired
Try them all until you figure out what cry means what.

I’m also assuming consistency is going to be an issue. Will characters look the same at the start of a sequence as the end? Or from load to load?

Amazing stuff, the devs were a decent bunch too, I distinctly remember pestering a dev to create a save game loader that would write saves from a disk to a vmu on the irc channel for wraggster’s dcemu forum. Might have to dig out my old Dreamcast if it still lives.

- Comment on Looks fine to me 2 weeks ago:
I kinda wonder if it’s panic at some point. Like they make a fuck up and then start going “maybe this will fix it, maybe this will fix it” and it’s just getting progressively worse but they can’t stop themselves.
I see this with my kids sometimes, without the panic, they see that they’ve messed up a line when painting and they try to fix it but they do the same thing just slightly over, rinse repeat until a 7mm line is now 30mm thick.

I’m amazed at the reaction here, I’m not sure the last time I even noticed one of these while wearing a shirt.
- Comment on I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t really want to do anything with my setup because it works fine. If DHCP is switched on on the pi and not configured to assign addresses to a separate IP range from the router it’s far from innocuous. Some routers also don’t allow DNS settings to be modified so using the pi as DHCP lets you hand out the the pi as the DNS as well.
- Comment on I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it? 5 weeks ago:
Haha, I feel ya. Try logging into your router’s admin panel and see if you can disable DHCP from there, it might fix things. (Also be prepared to to set static IP on the device you connect to the panel from in case it has issues connecting if disabling DHCP doesn’t fix things or resetting your router to factory settings should also re-enable the router as the DHCP server again).

Any chance your pihole and router are both trying to be the DHCP server for the network?

It could be, alternatively if the company goes out of business tomorrow you lose.
The question you need to ask yourself is how it will do vs other options, I’m no investor by any means but I’d be wondering:
a) would an index fund beat it long term (historically you might see 7% annual gains on a fund that tracks NYSE over the same period)
b) why is it trading below its face value - everyone has the same information about this bond in theory, therefore bond traders are aware of the same thing, if it was a great deal it would be in demand and the price would rise. So someone more experienced than us has accounted for the return and the risk/reward for them says $80 is right.
c) does it beat inflation - $450 payoff seems nice now (assuming you save up all those $5s) 30 years ago it would’ve seemed even better, but $100 in 1997 has the spending power of $200 today - in 70 years time the $450 might have the equivalent spending power of $100 today. Which is to say your real terms return may only be $20 over 70 years.

Coupon rate is paid on the principal - assuming the hundo is accurate then it’s 5%/yr. If you think Motorola will be around in 14 years then you’d have your investment back. If you think they’ll be around in another 70 years you get $350 + $100 because when it matures they need to repay the bond.

I’m my experience it’s about a ten to one ratio of people who shit on vegans because they “never shut up about it” vs vegans who actually never shut up about it.
A true testament to how many people they annoy.

A Dutch guy mentioned it to me a few years back how far the brand has fallen, reminds me a bit of GE in the US. It’s kinda sad. The really crazy thing is a few of the investments they made and dumped have gone on to be key players in tech, like ASML.
