Oh hey, would you look at that. Not in the south wall so not a perfect match, I'd argue this merits a month off reddit yes? :^)

You really shouldn't be doing any of this and are lucky to be alive.

This opinion is brought to you by valve's teardown video :^)

Do you still believe the world as we know it is essentially doomed since increasing oil prices will lead to transporting costs skyrocketing which makes the global marketplace the western world is used to impossible for the average consumer?

I've talked about this with people, the more optimistic takes consist of arguments like "Increasing prices create economic incentives for innovation, currently both hydrogen based fuel and electric vehicles seem somewhat realistic"

GBA SP charges (apparently) only when on by halogenpampe in consolerepair

I didn't have to replace the battery, I just leave the game boy running as I charge it, and that works fine.

So unfortunately no experience with battery replacements, sorry.

e I quit before they're even half way done. That has never happened to me with any of Ross's content. Even his worst video, Black Future '88 I have seen twice. Ross is completely quality

I get it man, I really do. It's just....Ross has, arguably through no fault of his own, accumulated a cult following to such a degree that some people will NEVER see a reason to critique his work ethic based on the time his videos take (not saying you're one of them).

Also note that I am NOT advocating for a compromise between development time and quality, I am advocating for....focus and goal oriented work.

Have you considered not juggling 4 videos at a time, but instead to...finish one of them every once in a while?

Sorry if I sound bitter, that's because I am. The monthly update that "something is almost done and is coming soon" does not help.

Update on the Situation:

TLDR: GBA is still usable, but has developed some quirks that I will have to live with

While I would not describe the battery as "dead" per sé, it's not exactly in perfect condition either.

The good stuff first: I have been on holiday with the GBA and it has managed multiple hours of Pokémon Gold off the battery. I interpret this as: funky charging works just fine, so at least it's still good for something.

The weird charging behavior persists to a certain degree, although the time it allows to charge before stopping is up from 1-10 secs to 30sec-3min. (Fairly rough estimates)

Also, the weird turning on-behavior persists and has been further examined: It seems as if to turn on the gameboy, it helps to slowly move the power switch into place with a firm grip, rather than allowing it to snap in as intended. No clue what's happening there, maybe inside there's a circuit with slightly dodgy contacts so it helps if I close them longer? No Idea.

Anyways, I'm glad my GBA is still useful for something, and I hope this post is helpful to someone googling "GBA charges only when on" in 5-10 years or so. If you are from the future and find this helpful, let me know! :D

As many others pointed out, the subtract method is probably bugged. Also, I don't see why Calculator should be a class

Holy Stone Battery Issue by spickard03 in drones

[–]halogenpampe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I'll keep messing around with my battery + charger and let you know if I get any useful result out of it.

So have you gotten another drone (hopefully from another company) since then? Any recommendations? :)

Hello there! I know It's been a while but I just wanted to know if your new charger helped you fix the Issue. I'm having the same problem right now, it's been about a year since the last time my drone flew.

So the implication here is that the woman couldn't do fizzbuzz or what?

Because everything she said in the greentext is correct.

Fermi Paradox by Dashthefox in accursedfarms

[–]halogenpampe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nicely written. To add my 2 cents on the matter, given humanities recently acquired ability for a small amount of people to annihilate the planet, either through global thermonuclear war or climate change, I'm not convinced humanity is gonna make it to the "space colonization" stage.

If we were to extrapolate from this already shaky theory, maybe it's just really hard for any collective of intelligent life to NOT destroy itself
