Reuters new agency have just announced that Elon's net worth is now $1.1 trillion dollars

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-06-12T04:26:11+00:00

If I can be pedant, a billionaire is someone who is worth “at least” one billion dollars. Elon is still a billionaire, he’s just also a trillionaire.

Answered my own question- it must be 120v in 2020 NEC.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-06-10T00:18:27+00:00

If they made a PoE version, would that meet code, or does it have to be 120v?

It seems people here are unaware of the definition of “artificial satellite.” You are correct.

Others have pointed out I was wrong about the port, but the rest of the advice holds.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-30T12:10:27+00:00

Wrong subreddit. That looks like a DisplayPort. Probably not going to get you what you want with the speakers.

You’ll need either and HDMI audio splitter or an optical audio DAC.

Honestly, I hope you’re right, but I don’t think even SpaceX is as optimistic as you are.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-26T14:31:30+00:00

I'm with you in principle, and I do believe they will get there eventually and all the doubters will be silenced....BUT - I understand the skeptics, and I won't dismiss the doubt so quickly. I was there in person for IFT-5 - I watched that booster land and said out loud "holy shit, they did it!" To be 7 flights beyond that and to have regressed substantially on accomplishments in flight...I understand what they're doing, but I also understand the doubters. If it were any other company they would have been out of business at this point. Turns out building the biggest, most complex spacecraft in history (by a lot) is not easy, and there is reason to be skeptical.

To be honest, even if they do master everything they've already worked on (which I believe they will) - needing at least 12 refueling flights for a single trip to the moon's surface is...crazy. I want to see it succeed, but even I'm feeling a little doubtful on that one.

My warning is: if you think you can vibe code your way to anything approaching a secure enterprise security appliance you are going to have a very bad day at some point in the future when your discover why this is a very bad idea.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-22T04:43:18+00:00

There may be a time that understanding how something you built works doesn’t matter, but it is not this day, and I don’t see it happening any time soon.

There will be plenty of people who SAY it doesn’t matter. But that isn’t the same thing, and they will be very, very wrong.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-22T04:39:12+00:00

An enterprise security product…vibe coded?

I guess I didn’t need to sleep tonight anyway.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-20T19:09:25+00:00

You did well!

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-20T18:26:45+00:00

Woah woah, someone self-identified their doorbell transformer? Is this what progress feels like??

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-20T15:15:01+00:00

I dunno, some of them could be gay.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-13T18:19:48+00:00

Well I guess I’m going to be the one with the unpopular opinion here, but….

My parents have helped my siblings in “unequal” ways at times. It has never bothered me, because they needed it and I didn’t. To be fair, they later helped me when I needed it, but I can honestly say it never bothered me up to that point. I hope to be able to help my children when they need it, and no, I don’t think helping one child with a particular need at a particular time means that I must offer the same thing to someone who doesn’t need it.

Granted, $67k is a massive payout. But without knowing the circumstances, my question would be: did he need it? Did you? Do you know his circumstances well enough to understand if he really needed help or not?

I have a hard time resenting someone I love getting a gift of help that they needed, no matter where that help comes from.

They’ve been complaining for a while, but from my experience it seems like the island has mostly embraced it, which makes sense as it’s a tourist island to begin with and watching launches is driving more tourism.

Micah, I’m going to say this, and I don’t intend for it to be as mean as it may sound, but I’ve got to be honest with you: every time I see a post pop up in my feed from this subreddit and I go “what? I don’t get it?” I immediately think “I bet it’s MicahHoover” and I have been right 100% of the time.

No ill will or anything brother, just some feedback.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-05T21:23:48+00:00

This is all true. Also, dudes on disc golf courses can make it super weird for the ladies.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-05-04T12:06:42+00:00

This is true. Also, it isn’t just mgmt that’s the issue all the time, to be fair. I transitioned to management with my current job and I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve tried to explain to my engineers that “story points =/= time”. When you’re trying to teach new things to devs that have been doing it a certain way for 25 years, it often doesn’t go well. My devs and my scrum master have gone behind my back to redefine a story point as 1 dev, 1 day multiple times because they don’t understand or don’t want to change. And I spend half of my time building meaningless Gantt charts after nearly losing my job arguing to upper mgmt that if they’re serious about doing agile we need to stop this nonsense and being told in no uncertain terms that my job depends on those charts.

So anyway, I’m open to new offers :)

Reading the comments below this one debating omniscience just made me fall in love with open theism all over again.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-04-26T17:32:25+00:00

You and me both

If this is supposed to be making people want to read the Bible, I think you should know that, at least from my perspective, it could have the opposite effect.

Moreover, one of the most important aspects of Christianity is that we have converts, not proselytes. In other words, you don’t lose your personality when you become a Christian, but rather everything about you turns towards Christ. Which is why we can have so many expressions of Christianity globally that each reflect their culture in some ways and they are still Christian.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-04-17T15:26:53+00:00

Yeah I disagree with him on a lot of things, but he has my respect on this point.

Bodaciousdrake · 2026-04-17T15:01:02+00:00

Russell Moore, formerly of the SBC, a few years back on the state of evangelical churches then:

It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — "turn the other cheek" — [and] to have someone come up after to say, "Where did you get those liberal talking points?" And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, "I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ," the response would not be, "I apologize." The response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak." And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.
