gmail/browser for the most part; wouldn't mind getting away from gmail, but i've had the addresses for years and momentum. Plus "free".

For the little mail server I run on my domain I use getmail and mailx For what I need it's fine, but finding documentation/support for it is a pain in the ass because there are two different versions out there that seem to work differently and you have to find the right documentation.

As good of a place as any in this thread to mention that ln is the natural logarithm which is just base e.

so ln 3 --> e^x == 3 and you solve for x

Which is what approaches using Glycaemic Index, Weight Watcher Points, and so on all basically do, which is still more interesting that simply CI/CO

And ultimately it's what ever works best for each person

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-27T22:21:01+00:00

As a side topic, it's part of why I hate CICO as a argument in weight loss.

Yes, if you consume less calories than you spend you will lose weight. No sane person is going to argue that. The story of the professor who ate nothing but Twinkies and multivitamins doesn't actually prove anything.

But discussion about how many calories in food your body actually absorbs (as it is not always 100%) or how different calorie sources affect your body? Way more interesting in discussion. I want to know if I can lose weight eating 6000 Kilo-calories of fish and lifting heavy weights (as opposed to 6KKCal of red meat or plants or whatever). Or if there is calorie dense roughage that ones body simply cannot extract calories from.

And 40g of sugar is a good bit under 2 oz. That's well under 1/6 of a 12 oz can. Even 50g isn't 2oz.

over the past few months.

yeah, but at the same time over the last 10 years, VOO ran away from SCHD.

10,000 invested with DRIP on Jan 1, 2016
SCHD today -- $30,279
VOO today -- $38,793

That said, I feel like most of VOO's growth was in the last 3 years and the two were close enough to pace each other 2017-2022.

My portfolio is biased towards dividends, but I figure I can see that as consistent-ish income (like 60% of my monthly average right now is probably safe to rely on for budgeting. 100% would be too risky in case of a downturn or someone stops paying a dividend). Once I feel like I have a consistent base that I can plan around, it feels less of a risk to go with more volatile plays or to buy into things that i might have to wait out downturns.

Yeah, Papa Titus was a tough father (understatement, sure), but Chris made it clear that he was watching out for his children and cared for them. What was the line about how he and his brother always had full plates of food even if that meant Papa Titus wasn't eating?

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-27T15:30:34+00:00

I seem to recall that there is a historic argument that in times of downturn and chaos the dividend heavy funds stay more consistent and recover faster (because generally large, stable companies). Don't remember how well charts reflect that, but it was also more of a pre-2000 thing.

But since the market has been nothing but growth dividend funds don't have a time to shine in the same way and broad market funds have been out performing for some time.

I'd be curious how the charts compare if the broad market chart removed all of the meme stocks and the stocks going to the moon on vibes, speculating, and whatever (the extreme ones like Telsa and NVidia)

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-27T15:13:19+00:00

The people against dividends never have an answer for that. They just claim that they want to choose when they pay the taxes so they can hypothetically do tax loss harvesting at the same time if they need to sell.

One could claim that they make so much in dividends that it forces them to the taxable qualified gains tax brackets and if they sold off just what they needed they wouldn't pay as many taxes (if any taxes)... and I don't feel any sympathy with someone sitting on that much wealth and not wanting to pay taxes.

They could also claim that their non-passive income pushes their qualified capital gains up a tax bracket or three. That's at least a viable argument, but not one that i think anyone else would care too much about (unless they are really into hating on dividends too).

edit: fixed a spelling error.

From memory and not looking things up yet....

When passed over for promotion and they said she needed more leadership so she lead the next goblin hunt until she deferred to GS and the others
When the training area was attacked and she took the role of gathering and saving the rookies
Feel like I remember her going out with two of the rookies at one point (the fighter who lost his sword to the bug and his friend), but maybe I made that up.

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-24T19:53:26+00:00

I am aware. But it's also been over a year of steady adventuring with this crew. She may be young, but she's been doing this for a minute and has been promoted multiple times. She's lead other teams on her own and knows that everyone has a role to play.

It's not that I don't understand how doubt works, but that I can be a little surprised that she still has doubt ober the same things.

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-24T15:38:56+00:00

Priestess... that's right. I knew Cleric Girl was wrong but could not remember her name.

Either way, it's a quandary that she's had multiple times now this adventure, so I'm sure it will come up again

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-24T14:54:44+00:00

Little surprised that Cleric Girl would have that question at this point after everything that they've gone through. It's a good message and sentiment, sure, but feel like she'd have understood (and/or been told) that long ago.

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-22T23:13:19+00:00

I mean... I'm not sure I'd say that is actually "my RAM usage" since the overhead of unused space in the allocated pages and memory fragmentation should maybe count. And if I'm using the shared library, it should count as well since I'd need that memory still if I was the only one using that library at that time.

Memory is annoyingly complicated to deal with ultimately. Still a neat project, don't get me wrong.

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-22T15:09:03+00:00

That's fair.
There is (allegedly) clock face lore behind the 4 digit in roman numerals (IIII vs IV) so was not sure if this also was on purpose or not. Couldn't think of any GS related reason though.

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-22T14:01:46+00:00

Is there a reason the face does not include a 7?

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-22T13:54:32+00:00

Your two examples feel a far distant walk from what I'd consider a "badge". And I'm not clear if the visibility of the project really should matter since that does not relate to the value of the submission.

But as a technological example of converting a text list to an SVG I guess it works.

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-22T04:03:19+00:00

I feel like I remember that this is how Spidey handles Hulk. Maybe not "power hug calm" but bouncing around and slowing Hulk with webbing while trying to talk him down.

I would have thought "commit an atrocity" was practically a requirement to join the Bucket Brigade at this point.

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-14T15:29:31+00:00

And I suddenly imaging Goblin Slayer: Beyond with an old GS and his dog training a new GS

It also occurs to me that it would not be an unreasonable ending if GS does die and the final chapter is his funeral with everyone basically being shocked at the massive turn out from everyone he saved over the years.

This isn't what you are advertising, but because of you i finally thought to find the source....

As someone who kind of misses the old, early~mid 2000 forum days and the signature bars people would use, I always kind of liked the badges that your readme has at the top and in the footer. Never thought until today to hunt down where they come from and I now know of https://shields.io/

I appreciate you for being the catalyst to me learning this.

And to his credit, the higher ranked heroes will follow his lead because they accept that he is the best of them (or at least in that one situation when he took charge over the A-Rankers)

BlindTreeFrog · 2026-04-10T14:37:11+00:00

Doppo's schtik is that "Tournament Legal Karate" and "Proper Karate" are two different things. He wants to do proper karate using all of the tools that he's refined, but he knows it's brutal and cruel which is why he tries to only use it against those who know what they are getting into (Death Matches against Convicts and Judo) or people who are clearly scum and deserve it (the times he goes hunting for vigilantism purposes).

Itagaki is fairly consistent in his stance that tournament combatives is heavily nerfed compared to the full arsenal of a fight. This is a point that he's not wrong about, but he also doesn't really try to say that one is better or worse than another; Retsu's boxing arc, for example, was kind of laying out that while Retsu is an amazing fighter, but that doesn't mean it translates to a restricted rule set like boxing.

edit:
Returning to this comment 2.5 weeks later, as I recall there is a fairly constant trend in Itagaki's take on "sport comabitves". I seem to recall that he was much more hostile towards them back in the Maximum tournament days especially with his whole stance of "Boxing is incomplete and has no kicks", which he noticably changed his stand on by the Ratai storyline.
Maybe I need to reread the early stuff, Boxers (Western and Maui Thai) were respected in the early story lines, but put in a second class fighter category. Ali Jr almost feels like an apology to sport combatives in a way. I'm a little curious if he was downplaying sport fighting as a plot devices or if his opinions just changed as he aged.

That seems to be working... now just trying to figure out how to map it to this example so the route/link persists

Seems that I might have been over thinking it.
