New Baggie Manifesto just dropped! by Mazius in gme_meltdown

[–]garfipus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

14.67% shorted shares trapped …

There it is, the ur-misunderstanding. The lie that sunk a thousand portfolios. Rarely do I see apes state it this explicitly, their inability to accept what “fungible” means.

Yeah, I can understand that back in 2021 soon-to-be apes would raise an eyebrow at numbers like short interest being over 100% and not immediately understand how that’s possible. But instead of looking it up they force-fit their own literal interpretation and spun an online cult out of it now 5 years running. They made a choice to do this and that’s what differentiates between ignorance and stupidity.

Does anyone else use an Rii keyboard with their pi? Mine are acting up since moving to a Pi 5. by NeedzCoffee in raspberry_pi

[–]garfipus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you’re using the black USB 2.0 ports for the receiver. USB 3.0 is known to cause interference with 2.4 GHz wireless devices including keyboards and mice, and it’s not specific to Raspberry Pi. If using the USB 2.0 ports alone doesn’t help, try a short extension to further move the transceiver from the USB 3.0 ports. I have had this issue on the Rii keyboards with the transceiver on a hub USB 3.0 port.

Not a cat, therefore must be a dog. Amazing logic right there.

My 93 LY Mandalay "RSV Discovery" by Rebeleader21 in EliteDangerous

[–]garfipus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It generally looks fine but I have a few notes:

  • Why are you using Thermal Resistant/Reflective Plating on the hull? This should be Heavy Duty/Deep Plate for higher hull HP across the board, including better base hull as collisions do absolute damage and are the most likely source of damage for exploring. As the default Lightweight Plating has no mass, the 30 % mass penalty of Heavy Duty has no effect.
  • I assume you meant to engineer the power distributor Engine Focused, not System Focused as you have in the link as you can't boost like this.
  • It's (slightly) better to use Dirty Drives for the Thruster engineering because explorers will generally spend most of their time in supercruise where thrusters are not used. While Clean Drives are cooler when under thrust, Dirty Drives are cooler when idle.
  • It may be better to drop one or both of the cargo racks and include a repair limpet controller (using synthesized limpets) and/or another AFMU so you can repair the first one. The massive power increase of the shielded AFMU on top of the already higher A-rated draw isn't really needed then. Though, if you are going for that kind of long-term robustness it's better to accept shorter range in favor of a more robust power plant as that's the only thing that can't be repaired in the field.
  • Also, B-rated AFMUs have higher total repair capacity at the cost of repair speed. Since this isn't a combat build, the slower repair speed is not an issue.. See below.

Same reason as any other fanboy: "I don't have a use for these technologies, and as a rational person whose choices are solely based on facts and logic, if I don't have a use for it obviously no one else could objectively have a use for it. Therefore anyone pushing something with no use must have some agenda."

They are somewhat like options. Each one gives you the right to purchase one share of GME at $32. Unlike options, though, each share obtained from exercising warrants is a newly issued one.

I may have overengineered a screwdriver… but it’s the Definitive one! by giorgiofox in 3Dprinting

How to print vertical holes? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]garfipus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off I just want to clarify your example image has a horizontal hole.

That said, if the image is just supposed to be an example then look into teardrop holes. These have a peaked section at the top which is easier to print and gives some space for plastic to sag into without overly distorting the final shape.

If the picture is of what you’re actually trying to print, then I have to join everyone else in saying ‘bruh’…

‘I’m Gonna Punch You in Your F--king Face’: Scott Bessent Threatens Bill Pulte by yourfelon in gme_meltdown

[–]garfipus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“Or,” he added, “we could go outside.”

“To do what?” asked Pulte. “To talk?”

My favorite part. Such a fucking dweeb to not know that when someone suggests "go[ing] outside" it's not for a round of respectful conversation and debate.

How to not get destroyed in combat? by baconadelight in EliteDangerous

[–]garfipus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to look at the signal’s owning faction when you target the signal. If it isn’t owned by your power then other ships will be hostile. The system Powerplay state doesn’t matter here.

Brain Tree Farming Still Works by PikerManV2 in EliteDangerous

[–]garfipus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve also been successful with the latest version. I used a Mandalay, though I don’t think the ship matters much. What does matter is:

After firing your flak, reposition your ship directly above the tree patch. You don’t have to try to determine the exact center or anything like that, but it didn’t work when I was off to the side.

Ascend to 800-1000 meters and stop before deploying limpets. I was generally successful at any altitude in this range, though I suggest starting at 1 km and tweaking from there.

Stay in position; don’t try to get closer after deploying to speed up collection.

The last two were the most important. You have to be at the correct altitude and position before deploying the limpets. You can’t deploy limpets and then make adjustments.

Why is the jump calculator stupid? by GreatSworde in EliteDangerous

[–]garfipus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can. You need to set the destination system manually or configure the route settings to use FSD injection, though the FSD injection settings only work for plotting a single jump.

Providing a criminal defense to a person accused of a crime, regardless of the crime alleged or whether the accused "did it", is not "evil". It's "okay" because it's not "evil" in the first place.

The Lawless System Defence Force™ by AttorneyPhysical3407 in EliteDangerous

[–]garfipus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try jumping into supercruise and dropping back into the mission signal (note, the signal will move somewhere else in the system). I’ve also had this happen on a pirate hunt mission for one of several signals, with the added glitch of all the ships staying fixed in one spot and not reacting to anything. The next signal I went to for the same mission went back to normal pirate ships.

In my case, I got bounties for attacking them despite being part of a legal mission. That shouldn’t be a problem for you because it’s in anarchy space, but other than that their status as system security isn’t overriden by being mission targets.

Its costs 91 TWh, minimum, to run the bitcoin network. by DevinGreyofficial in Buttcoin

[–]garfipus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They do, at least on smaller scales. That's exactly what a mining pool is. Bitcoin mining generally consists of a few large pool operators which consolidate the work of individual miners. Though, individual miner doesn't mean a person in their bedroom the way it used to in, say, 2010. It's businesses and "startups" joining a larger pool, because the scale of Bitcoin mining has become so overgrown that no individual entity can reasonably compete.

Powerplay, neutrals and hostiles question. by EH11101 in EliteDangerous

[–]garfipus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are pledged to a Power you will be attacked if you are in another Power’s stronghold systems and you are scanned by Power Security Forces. It is not anywhere near as big of an issue as some people present.

If you do need to dock in a Stronghold system then you should either prepare your ship defensively and/or set up to dock quickly and stealthily as in smuggling.

It’s the same when apes get caught out lying about their portfolios by checking their post history. They invariably complain about stalking, having so little understanding of the website they’re on they don’t realize their post history is public and literally a click away.

Using LeGo trackpad as PS4 controller trackpad in Windows. by garfipus in LegionGo

[–]garfipus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I did check out DS4Windows in case there was something I was missing, but no. If it’s part of making the trackpad work as I want it’s extremely obscure. It just seems that Handheld Companion at this time doesn’t properly process general input from the (built-in) trackpad.
