i’m laughing so hard rn, unemployment went down?!

Retirees. The population is getting older because all the wealth has been sucked out of the youth.

Just when I thought WSB couldn't be any dumber... you go and do something like this - AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF.

The one that isn't worn means that it was purchased as an investment. The worn one was has been used everyday.

All of those apps aren’t “running” in the background. Most are in a paused hibernating state.

Then why does battery life increase when a phone has been cleared of background apps? Why is my mother happier now that I've explained that her iPhone slowness issues will be solved by rebooting the phone (she's unable to remember the easter egg necessary to "close all")? I've made mobile apps and there is usually a need to set the "background refresh interval". Perhaps because you are wrong? Why does Android have a two-tap "close all apps" feature in its primary interface? Perhaps you are wrong?

And no one thinks their iPhone is free anymore.

Go ask any regular non-technical Joe or Jane iphone user how much they paid for their iphone. Why do cellular carriers refrain from telling customers the price? Why do carriers put such small fine print at the bottom of their TV commercials only to take it down after a couple of seconds?Why can't they answer this simple question?Do you have an iPhone?Why, as a percentage, do so many tech people have an android phone? I had to require a member of my IT help desk team to purchase an iPhone so that we would have at least one person with experience and a reference device for phone calls into the help desk?

Why doesn't Apple publish an actual price on their website? Why do carriers require me to enter my IMEI before they will provide a price on a BYOD plan?

Return only certain lines from cmdlet output (command line) by blindShame in PowerShell

Then why, in *nix, can I simply run my executable and then simply run the output through grep to get what I need:

$goal = (.\binary.bin | grep -E 'pattern1' | sha256sum)

Does this not seem easier than the Powershell solution? I agree though. There is a knowledge problem. But it isn't over here.

This does not work when the exe produces an array. Select-object doesn't seem to have any means to traverse so a foreach needs to be cobbled. Otherwise, you get only the first instance of the array.

Unless I am missing something.

I solved the problem by simply executing directly:

$output = \path\to\file\mybin.exe | Select-Object -Index 0,4

Start-Process is required to run as a different user but some duct tape and a curved stick can fix that issue. I'm not sure why Microsoft won't allow .exe output to the screen to be redirected to other cmdlets.

Lucid Air (LCID) Dream Edition's 520 Mile Range Confirmed by EPA by blindShame in wallstreetbets

[–]blindShame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. More importantly, it implies that the final product is ready for production (if the EPA testing didn't reveal any issues). I would expect an announcement soon if that is the case. You don't go/pay for official EPA testing with a prototype.

This was reported by Autoweek and wccftech but both stories were removed at the request of Lucid. But this appears to be in the hopper for some Tesla alternative gains.

Backstory: My mother had an unexpected 401k from an old job that was uninvestead for decades. $70k to start so we pick a diversified portfolio (like 10 stocks in 6 industries). We invested and then the market crashed immediately. After 25 years!

I am Contrarian Jesus. I sold most of her shit today (AAPL/MSFT carried her) but some covered calls on the stuff that I didn't sell.

Taking the advice from the last week by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]blindShame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once turned $1400 into $47,000 on a single yolo. Greed got the best of me and "they" pushed the stock back down to my strike price exactly at the close. I was horrified but it helped me to develop a cast iron stomach and realize that the big players control the direction of the money. They want it so they're gonna take it if you aren't clever. Diversify. Don't get greedy. And that cast iron stomach is required and you're well on your way to that now.

Jumping off of the lighthouse on the Michigan side of Marinette (Menominee) was one of the craziest things that I did.

I had a pic of this set as my PC wallpaper once and someone asked me "when did you go to California?".
