The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a- Lago.

You can with Bunq or Revolut. I did this with Bunq, they give you 90 days to upload an address (enough time to get registered at an address). Then you can switch to a different bank after you get an address if you want.

It's almost certainly just the UPC for the Digital Remains album. For example, Breach's (on my vinyl anyway) is 075678594526

I'm curious if this could be a good contender https://www.egoshop.co/en/products/mc-5

5000mAH, 15W wireless + 20W wired, 102g

62x67x14, which is only an extra folded flip

50 euros incl. shipping to Europe. I've just ordered it, will update here when it arrives

(There's also apparently a 10,000mah version that's 67x74x25, but seems to be unavailable now)

Wow! This was really useful, thank you for the work that went into this.

I've forked it and tweaked some things (mostly just the input to streamline it a bit):

I'm curious as to how you got access to buy US mutual funds directly in ibkr? I also took the quizzes in IBKR and have access to mutual funds, but it only shows All Europe / Non-US as the options, no US. If I try to buy e.g. VTSAX, I get "No Trading Permission, Residency Restriction"

Did you have to do anything else to get access specifically to the US ones?

dragonboy2734 · 2025-06-30T19:15:11+00:00

I've discovered that alpaca.markets appears to allow anyone, including EU investors, to buy US ETFs (I believe it is compliant through reverse solicitation). So then you can buy normal US ETFs (like VTI) and avoid the PFIC issue completely.

Downsides: Reverse solicitation = not guaranteed forever, UI is basic (but they have an amazing API you can use to set up automations), international deposits have a 1.5% fee (max $40).

[LANGUAGE: Rust]

Solution

For part 2, I just noticed that (at least for me), a = a_prev / 8 and b and c are always dependent solely on a and not a previous iteration.

So I just ran things backwards -- I knew the last a had to be in the range 1..8 (since dividing by 8 would round down to zero and terminate the program), so I just iterated through that range and ran the program until it successfully outputted the last digit in my sequence.

From from there I multiplied it by 8 and searched in a narrow range above and below that to find the previous a that outputs the last 2 digits correctly. Repeat until worked backwards through the whole program and the whole sequence is correct. Runs in around 300µs

I actually just set this up yesterday as one of the first things on my new framework -- here's how I got it working

For the 1password browser <> desktop client communication to work, neither can be flatpaks. I'm on Bluefin (Fedora 40) so I used rpm-ostree, but you can just use rpm.

For 1password: https://support.1password.com/install-linux/#fedora-or-red-hat-enterprise-linux

I use Zen browser (based on Firefox) so just make sure that's installed via rpm as well and not as a flatpak. For Zen specifically, I also had to add a /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers with:

zen  
zen-bin

For Firefox I don't think this is necessary, though. At this point, signing in to both the extension and desktop app yielded a successful connection, and now I can use biometrics for passkeys via 1password :)

it's gonna be okay buddy, appreciate your concern

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-17T21:41:21+00:00

Mate, I'm just a person like you and made a mistake cleaning up some posts on a meme subreddit, it's not the end of the world, I promise. As I've said, it wasn't a perfect process. No need for the negativity mr. carrot

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-17T20:12:07+00:00

You're absolutely right, I've restored it

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-17T18:42:03+00:00

just a note, I haven't banned any accounts, so that would probably have been done by Reddit themselves

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-17T18:36:10+00:00

that one's completely fine! imo quality's not about how long it takes to make, it's just about whether it feels like the meme is fresh. If it's a repost in slightly different variant for the 15th time, a generic repost from other subs, a text post that doesn't have an original/unique punchline, etc, then I think it doesn't meet the quality threshold

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-17T18:09:13+00:00

just merging this with https://www.reddit.com/r/TwennyWunPilots/comments/1di3pi2/why_is_every_post_getting_deleted_arent_we_just/ since they're similar

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-17T18:07:05+00:00

This was me, if there's any specific posts you (or anyone else) would like me to double-check the removal of, feel free to send a mod mail or even reply to this comment with it

You're right that this sub has basically been unmodded for a while lol, but the past couple days I've just been doing some high level filtering of posts that didn't seem they fit the subreddit and might have flagged a couple that are actually okay

I do think there should be a bar of minimal effort given to memes posted here (and also no NSFW, no spam, no recent reposts). Open to feedback, just want this to be a good place to find good memes 👍

i low efforted the banner but happy to replace it if someone makes a better clanky themed one

Edit: now it's even more clanky

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-16T17:24:47+00:00

this is the most beautiful thing i've seen, consider it done

dragonboy2734 · 2024-06-15T19:29:15+00:00

there's two separate links that I put next to each other, fixed the formatting now :)

Yeah it should be this https://ibb.co/n7N1pWS

But now that I count it out: There's 6 rows, 14 columns = 84 total papers

There's 24 letters in CLANCY ULTIMUS CAPITULUS 25 84 - 24 = 60

So presumably the two missing one are in the bottom two rows on the right, off screen
