    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    Not sure if it's as big of a problem as it used to be. People wouldn't own any stock other than the company they worked for. Lot more options and information easier to get than it used to be even 30 years ago.

    Lived in a house that got struck. All kind of odd things. Welded a metal pan that was laying on the edge of the sink. Slab foundation and one of the copper plumbing grounded out and developed a small leak. It struck down trough the roof and onto the meter on an outside wall. It got numerous...

    I bought it, looks interesting. I need to work with it or something I load in and it tells me about caps lock and tab but it doersn't recognize any keyboard commands. Mess with it tomorrow.

    I'm really only familiar with ranger and shaman. I used the shaman for slow and killed stuff with the ranger. I don't think I'm familiar with another class to know what they would be useful for other than a cleric for heals and undead, an enchanter for mezz and such.

    Likely have a lot more shares that are worth less than one share being worh $30,000. But with Elon who knows. Berkshire has a huge price on their stock, but I would think for most stocks you would want a price more people could buy it. But like I said with Elon who knows.

    I'm not playing but I wondered what the guilds were going to do since the dragons and planes have all been done solo. It's been a long time but that seemed to be in original EQ before Kunark rolled out.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I am pretty sure a lot of the Chinese radios often are out of band or wader, but hey they are cheap. I have a spectrum analyzer but pretty sure very few handheld people do and they are at 5 watts or so, so not a lot of poeple notice or complain. Sorry for the derail, me and the FCC are good...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I read stories of stuff. One thing I read that happened years ago someone was getting portable phone stuff through the radio and ham radio stuff at times. The FCC had come out multiple times and they couldn't find anything. After years one FCC guy found it. On a transmission line to the house...

    Problem solved. I'm not sure wat happened but a variety of stuff suddenly had folders linked to other locations. No idea why. Wipe and new install of windows fixed it, one day closer to Linux. I'm halfway through a build and it will be Linux which I haven't used in forever.

    Yeah. I'm not a big computer person. I did delete all the setting files and reinstalled. Same thing. The odd thing to me is there is a setting in the text file of the settings "notch type =" I would change it game to default, exit out and the settings file would show 0. Go back in game and...

    I had it until just recently. I reinstalled and nothing. So I guess that is the end of the line for that for me. It really helped being colorblind.

    The pattern that you can turn and off the surrounds sockets for color blind people. Like one color is 3 things in a radiating pattern. It was added to help color blind people. The setting is still in game for default (regular sockets), small, and large. In the settnigs text file each change...

    My dad it doesn't matter where he traveled or saw. He could have seen the best thing in the world, it comes down to some place he ate that had great whatever. His boss once told me he would travel 200 miles for a free hamburger. Pretty much. How he is not 300 pounds amazes me.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Not really jimmied, just the way the federal government works. When you get an amatuer radio license it's good for 10 years. So it "expires" in 10 years, but not really. You get a 2 year grace period that you are sitll listed as licensed if someone looks up your callsign. They did this because...

    I know I am odd man out. It was interesting to see someone play EQ on stream with full spell effects. I never had th at on back in the day. Not full on, especially during a raid and of course now it's all solo. Was interesting to me. It almost made EQ look not so dated, almost.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Using a non digital camera in film astrophotography was actually the easy part. The part that took the time and such was the mount and the telescope. You focused the telescope after you learned how to make sure you were actually taking a pic over time of something you really couldn't see with...

    Got my bill for an ambulance ride to the ER in the mail today. This was the week before July 4th. I was at my parents house and my girlfriend was visiting her brother who lives an hour away. In the poorest state in the union they came and picked me up, hauled me in the ambulance on a stretcher...

    It was either that or a polaroid back in the day. Kids now days have it easy. You also most likely used a reflector telescope. Slow refractors that were ED Enhanced Low Dispertion of light were like the price of a house or more (flourite scopes were in the NASA price range) and even expensive...

    I no longer do it. That was before digital, before a lot of goto mounts. You found your target and use a guide scope adjacent to your main scope with a lighted crosshair you looked through and opened the shutter (OM-1 ollympus camera would stay open manually) and self guided your mount to keep...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    When I sold auto parts we would have a shitload of belts without packaging but only the part number on the belt. We had a deal that you placed the belt on and it slid and and gave the exact length. Long shot but some hardware stores have one, only handy if you know the length you need.

    All that crap and the FCC and the AARL (amatuer radio league that does the FCC stuff for a fee) sent me an email this morning on a Saturday at 9am that they fixed the problem effective today. Thanks, my license was set to expire today. Good now till 2034. Had problems when I first got the...

    Dealing with the federal government/FCC. My license is now listed as expired but active which makes zero sense. I contacted the FCC and they said my address was not valid. I sent them a scan of my license (which they no longer provide) that they sent years ago and I received with the address...
