Jesus fuck I feel attacked rn

Haha, I thought I better check to be sure. It’s such a fantastically straightforward sensible concept for a tool I’m honestly not sure why it’s not everywhere vs people shorting caps with a screwdriver.

Crimping a push fit terminal of some sort on the end would make a handy static wrist strap hookup too I’d imagine.

You obviously have the experience and tbh that might be the best guide I’ve seen on building a capacitor discharge tool (it might also be the only one, but it seems to make sense). For the sake of completeness I assume I plug in the plug and it’s just using the house’s earth?

Not sure how possible it is to reassemble it in an unsafe manner with the magnetron in the mix and I’m not sure how much peace of mind I’d have using it afterwards. But I certainly feel a lot happier about discharging big caps now.

If you use sudo for each privileged command you wouldn’t typically use sudo to remove something in your home directory, so the command would fail. At which point you’d check why the command failed.

You think? We’ve built an irreplaceable library of video knowledge, if it goes down how am I going find out the correct way to disassemble my 10 year old washing machine to replace a door gasket? Or find the correct way to remove the light cluster on my random ass car?

There’s definitely a Song 2 cover and it used to pop up pretty high in the search results - but it’s also ancient and this is still lazy journalism.

Sam Rider didn’t build a Furby organ or buy a 27L tank engine though.

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.

What are you trying to model? It’s far from unusable.

FreeCAD isn’t terrible, especially since v1, it’s rough round the edges at times, but definitely usable.

You remind me of Clarke’s third law, even in my own head this sounds a bit waffely but at the point one of them can fool all of us all the time how do we distinguish it from intelligence or something.

Okay, now airbus do freecad.

It’s simpler than that, if you’re working on the data layer anything you don’t want to touch is business logic.

If you’re working on business logic the bad stuff is data layer.

Presentation layer just isn’t my problem.

OH MY GOD THERE ARE BEARS SHITTING IN THE WOODS!

It’s clearly code!

The thing is just about every single diet drug to date has had much worse complications. Like destroying hearts, blood vessels, anal leakage. Losing weight the old school way is the best way of it’s possible.

Can they fuck up please, taking a ferry is one of the least stressful ways to get from a to b.

I’m genuinely curious, I’ve never really used any launcher other than steam (it’s not blind loyalty, my steam lib is just bigger than I’m ever likely to play already and my gaming heyday came before launchers).

Steam on the surface of it doesn’t seem like an inordinately complex piece of software compared to say, a game or package manager etc. What is it that makes other launchers so shit?

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.
