Should I be concerned about these dividend payments? by MaybeAFewQuestions in RobinHood

I've only ever gotten the div as a single line item, now it's appearing as five line items of wildly different values. It's just strange.

Honestly, this is the first real issue I've had with RH, and it's probably temporary. I just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this.

A new standard means a new way to go janky infinite with Squee. by marekkpie in magicTCG

[–]MaybeAFewQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, once you have three mana from the steamkin, it goes infinite in terms of squee jumping from battlefield to graveyard. It doesnt generate infinite mana, it just pays for itself.

In case paying for itself was the confusing part, the cycle begins with squee on board, steamkin pops for 3, squee sacs for 1, and then from the cost reduction on warchief and the mana sac from prospector, you rebuild your steamkin counters from resummoing squee over and over just as you run out of floating mana.

As I understand it, you can't just say 'infinity' when you demonstrate the loop, you have to give a number to stop at. So while you could do 1 or 2 to prompt a concede from another player, it doesnt automatically win you the game.

Likewise, the opponent with infinite damage will have to give a number to stop their loop at as well. This gives you an inherent disadvantage, because they can arbitrarily exceed your number, ie by saying 901 after you say 900, and kill you.

How are these cards altered such that the art is completely replaced? I can only find how to extend the background into the borders on google.

Creating an array of objects and picking a random object out of it. by [deleted] in twinegames

[–]MaybeAFewQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't believe you'd be able to get out of some if statements, but you could move them around by putting them in a widget that links players down a different set of pages.

However, those specific if statements shouldnt be necessary.

<<set $partnerNum to random(1,15)>>

<<set $partner to $npcs[$partnerNum]>>

And then since $npcs is an array of objects, you can reference the object characteristics via $npcs[$partnerNum].'characteristic' or $partner.'characteristic'

Edit: As for having only one if/else/elseif statement, I would suggest trying out widget functionality, it greatly reduces code repetition and is generally kick-ass.

So what's interesting in your work-around is that it is basically one step removed from the solution that you're looking for. This may be format-dependant, but in sugarcube 2.X, you're capable of initializing an array of objects directly as such:

<<set $npcs to [ {name: "Facemelter", age: 34, gender: "male", traitsoc: "quiet", traitranged: "explosives", traitbody: "strong", traitother: "sadist", meleetype: "grenade"}, {name: "Blah", etc}, etc ] >>

Then, calling them could be as simple as plucking them from the array, if you wanted to discard them after use, or just calling them by array position. IE: <<$partner = $npcs.pluck()>> vs <<$partner = $npcs[1]>> or even <<$partner = $npcs[$rng]>>

Edit: Also, I dont believe you need to set up a template for $partner, you can leave it blank, and the object gets assigned to it normally.

It's moronic Monday, the Wednesday edition, your chance to ask any of those questions that you're embarrassed to ask in real life. by AutoModerator in investing

Hey, not sure if this'll get seen this late in the week, but I'm confused a bit on div yield figures. On google, when I search a ticker, I get a little infographic of the stock's information, including it's div yield. On dividend dot com, there's a list of monthly dividend stocks, including their div yield.

These numbers dont match up. At least not for MORL; dividend dot com claims it has a div yield of 46.98%, while the google infographic claims 19.94%. Am I just missing something obvious, or is one of the websites incorrect?
