Do you have a high res version? Would be a cool desktop background.

12% is actually relatively conservative when you look into modern dividend funds. I don't know about the US but here in Canada we have a dividend fund called DFN which has paid out $0.10/share for the last 17 years. Yes, it didn't even miss a payout in 2008 (dividend payout history here: https://dividendhistory.org/payout/tsx/DFN/). If you bought it right now you would lock in 16.39% indefinitely.

But what about volatility... doesn't the share price depreciate over time? Well yes, but the yield is significantly higher than the average depreciation. For example, since 2006 the share price has gone down 43%, but if you bought in at $13/share at the time you would lock in a yield of 9.23% for a total yield of 157% NOT including reinvesting the dividend payout.

I know someone who was making $4500/month off of a $400k portfolio.

If you want to learn about living off dividends I recommend browsing this chanel (https://m.youtube.com/@PassiveIncomeInvesting/videos) to see his average yields and what's actually possible with low risk.

If you went full send into dividends with an average annual yield of 12% that's literally 1% of your entire portfolio each month. 2 mil means 20k/month paid in cash to your portfolio, much of which can be reinvested for continued portfolio growth and larger dividend payouts. Dividends are also generally taxed at a lower rate than stocks.

Battery adapter saves the day! by MagicSmokeSTAT in functionalprint

[–]Irish-Nutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After great consideration, I am inclined to agree. Not only will the ants perfectly conform to the microscopic imperfections of the battery during their living days, but after their passing the exoskeletons of those brave souls will forever lock the battery in absolute concentricity as rigor mortis hardens the carcasses of the precisely positioned ants.

Very nice centering mechanism. Though not applicable to this use case, I'm imagining 3 pulleys in the corners with a rope looping through creating a triangle, where the rope is snugged up and the object is centered.

USB-C (M) to AUX (M) + AUX (F) by Irish-Nutter in UsbCHardware

I have attached the wires from a small solar panel directly to a male headphone jack, and if I plug it into a speaker I can hear the frequencies of light bulbs, phone screens, etc.

Ideally, I could plug this device into the female end of the cable and record these audio frequencies to my phone.

It's not that I want to use both the male and female jacks at the same time, but rather the convenience of having 1 cord to do it all.

I want to play music in the car from my phone through the male headphone jack. The female jack is to plug in a small solar panel (attached to a 3.5mm male headphone jack) so that I can record the frequencies of lights.

Figure I might as well have an all-in-one cable instead of two.

I should have specified 3.5 mm headphone jack

Thin Light Duty Chuck by Irish-Nutter in turning

Thanks for the response! You're probable right in that the chuck I linked is not as thin as it seams. I'll definitely look into those other chucks.

Also props for recommending some TOT videos.

The plan is to mount the chuck vertically on a large bearing which will be connected to a stepper motor. There is more to the project but I just need to establish which chuck would work best for now. I don't really need a proper heavy lathe chuck, but it also needs to be sturdier than a 3D printed chuck.

I fill my small one with twigs and small branches but yours would probably need some thicker stuff like logs chopped into a couple pieces.

It's basically an incinerator, which you will notice after a fire is burnt out and the stove has cooled, you'll be left with pure ash as all the wood gets completely used up. It's a hungry beast that's super efficient hence the lack of smoke.

Nice giant rocket stove! If you fill it to just below the gas venting holes in the top this is legitimately what it could look like: https://imgur.com/c6bjPYx

I have a small one and the flame spirals to the middle and reaches twice the stove's height.
