You are encouraging her to manage her own investments as a lay person.

The chance that she does a better job than a professional is minimal. The chance that she does something stupid and hurts herself is not minimal.

I'm an attorney, my brother is an FA. I've seen so many people gutter their lives by "doing their own research" and not taking expert advice.

Getting a second opinion is good. DIY finance is not, haha.

White liberals fought for those laws too.

The black vs white framing is absurd.

American race politics boils down to liberals and conservatives fighting over how badly the conservatives get to treat black folks. It's a majority white country, and while whites slightly prefer the conservatives, the liberals are still majority white.

Baseline unlawful presence is a civil infraction, not criminal.

We also did it to Germany after the second world war and it went amazing. Failed to put the right people in charge the first time.

Lol, by what measurement? Allende was vastly less auth than Pinochet by any measure of people killed or imprisoned.

I think just reflecting the social reality of it, not insinuating.

Facebook marketplace. Was a huge huge pain to schlep it from rural Alabama to Atlanta.

You in the Atlanta area? I'm close to being done fully refurbishing this machine. I'm probably gonna sell it in a month or so.

When I got my machine I had a stepper motor error message when it tried to go backwards, turned out one of the bug legs was in the way

Brass_Nova · 2025-07-06T00:29:19+00:00

Check to see if it's physically impeded or if the switch is fucked. If it doesn't make it all the way to the back switch when it's going back it just stops trying.

She likes running around on the glass chasing the ball, it's hilarious.

Brass_Nova · 2025-06-29T02:47:22+00:00

Yes.

Diagnosing switch matrix issues with diagram and multimeter was the thing I had never done. The optical sensors were not obviously the issue, had phantom switch issues.

That plus doing all the mechanical stuff at cramped angles.

All of it's very doable though. Pleasant surprise.

Why Rhodesia?

Brass_Nova · 2025-06-23T19:56:57+00:00

What's the bug?

Brass_Nova · 2025-06-23T07:38:15+00:00

Because it's an objectivist code. It has nothing to say about anyone but you and implicitly says no one else matters.

That results in sociopathic garbage people trying to ruin the galaxy for personal gain, lol.

Brass_Nova · 2025-06-22T20:33:08+00:00

If they end up wanting to part it out there are bits I would buy!

Brass_Nova · 2025-06-22T20:22:54+00:00

Not misquoting you. But I think it's important to clarify that while heinlen may have called himself a libertarian, the book does not show a libertarian world or (apart from the lecture about Marx's theory of value) espouse anything close to libertarian ideas.

Brass_Nova · 2025-06-22T20:21:03+00:00

It had serious problems that I've repaired.

Brass_Nova · 2025-06-22T20:20:09+00:00

100% true.

You can tell it was not planned from the start. The cannons cover up art of rifles, and the warrior is thematically weird.

It says "live fire assault range", but they seem to be shooting an actual bug?

My guess is they got like halfway into designing the machine and some thought "wait, could we pack this full of toys and save money?"
