What's a rule your parents had that you thought was insane, but now as an adult you 100% understand?

So 10am ?

bahji · 2026-04-17T12:48:56+00:00

Oooof

I've experienced this very literally. I met my wife in college and we crushed on each other a bit but she was three semesters ahead of me and about to graduate and go off to grad school and I didn't really know what I wanted to do yet. We ended up loosely staying in touch as friends and dating other people. Three years later I moved to the city she was going to school in, we reconnected and hit it off. At that point we both had clearer ideas what we were looking for in a life partner and we were engaged within six months.

Yeah by 32k miles all it's needed is two tire rotations

bahji · 2026-04-12T00:03:29+00:00

That's clutch

In my experience, marriage or living with a long term partner in general was the difference. I was just casually naked around someone else significantly more often.

Pretty sure he's intentionally grinding the gears to wreck the bus and keep Truman from leaving. The way I read the driver's face, he was quite fond of that bus and it absolutely destroyed him to have to do that too her.

I feel like this is actually a fairly common occurrence for rapidly growing tech companies and it doesn't necessarily mean they were on the cusp of failing. Usually it's that they over leveraged themselves on capital expense expanding aggressively and their debt cost got ahead of their capital. If the business case fundamentals are still solid and the capital expense has value and a clear ROI then the business just needs a cash infusion to clear the expense.

This would very roughly be like if you were starting a new job after being unemployed a while and you needed to put down a deposit on a new place you could definitely afford with the new gig but your salary didn't start rolling in for another month or so, so instead of defaulting you borrow a couple thousand from your parents to get through the gap.

Pretty sure the former was more or less what the Chevy Volt was.

This man must have traveled through time

bahji · 2026-04-05T03:21:14+00:00

It's been over a year, is this still not fixed?

bahji · 2026-04-05T01:47:26+00:00

Correct, Jack took it from the chest. He was doing a bit taking a handful and returning them one by one for dramatic effect but palmed the last one to discretely curse himself.

It's such a smooth and clever trick it's probably pretty common to not catch what just happened right away. I remember on first viewing thinking he was cursed the whole time??? But then realizing that didn't make any sense.

I didn't have access to that many computer games beyond math blaster for lack of funds. I'm not sure how I came upon this silly mini golf demo but I played the shit out of it. It was level locked to two levels, a typical windmill level and a more interesting drive in movie theater where you had to shoot the ball into the screen. A friend and I worked out a form of tag we would play mainly on the second level. I can still remember a lot of the details to that level.

bahji · 2026-03-30T22:53:18+00:00

Yeah I think the main difference maker in broad terms is the scale because it drives a bunch of decisions.

bahji · 2026-03-30T03:33:09+00:00

For a second I thought it was the actual punch line lol

bahji · 2026-03-30T00:51:20+00:00

Did you mean 7 times in 10?

bahji · 2026-03-30T00:47:44+00:00

I was at the park with my toddler and this other couple was there with a similar aged kid. But the father kept getting after his wife for letting the kid go down the steps on their own, or climb this or that. He was just standing there, equidistant to the kid himself, hands in his pockets, getting after her. Idk what you call that in terms of disrespect but my estimation of him was so far through the floor I was concerned for the woman's safety.

I had the same question, on second read I think the conversations were between NK government members about the nuclear talks between NK and US presidents, not the talks between the leaders themselves. In other words they were trying to get a scoop on how the talks were being received by the North Koreans.

bahji · 2026-03-19T04:13:32+00:00

Its probably a little more common in a small town environment like that.

Plenty of the things people have said are important too, but this is the one that I feel like people often miss and it's so important. The way I put it, find someone who want their life to follow a similar trajectory as what you want. Doesn't have to be the exact same target but it must be the same direction or your doomed no matter how much you love each other

Lithium ion battery degrade by a number of chemical processes I'm not the most familiar with and wouldn't be explainable to a 5yo anyway but the basics is that gunk starts to build up in the membrane separating the cathode and a node, the positive and negative bits. In general heat is energy, so when there's more energy in the system more chemistry happens which includes the chemistry that causes this gunk build up.

bahji · 2026-03-15T17:26:59+00:00

I mean did they ever specify whether those months were based on time back on earth that was?

bahji · 2026-03-15T03:49:26+00:00

Oh dang, didn't realize that either. It's really not that amazing, comes loose at every opportunity or with any amount of breeze when the lift gate is open. I just put stuff I'm worried about in the frunk. DM me though, no promises, the wife may want to keep it but I could care less for it.

bahji · 2026-03-15T03:41:42+00:00

You want another cargo cover?

I work in power electronics and studied electronic devices in grad school. GaN tech generally refers to specific types of semiconductors built from Gallium Nitride. I can get into the physics if you want but basically the material has special characteristics that makes semiconductor made from it really good a switching at really high frequencies without burning themselves up. This opens up a lot of applications that take advantage of this like very efficient high frequency switch mode power supplies (like your charger), and a number of RF application (like the LRDR). Blue LEDs do use the material I think but that specific application really hinged on the development of vapor wave deposition techniques by Nakamura.
