I'll disagree, personally I'd have bought a Mondeo over a VAG wagon in a heartbeat if they still made them. I got talking to a salesman at my local dealership and the sentiment is basically "no-one really understands what they're doing, they've stopped making all the cars that sold well"
Who's getting employed to do nothing? What are you basing this on?
Define need. Companies will happily cut staff they need to save costs. Staff that remain then get the workload dumped upon them. Now everyone is running around half-assing everything at peak stress to try and keep the ship afloat, doing jobs they're not good at and don't enjoy poorly because someone didn't understand someone else's contribution.
Coupon rate is paid on the principal - assuming the hundo is accurate then it's $5/yr. If you think Motorola will be around in 14 years then you'd have your investment back. If you think they'll be around in another 70 years you get $350 + $100 because when it matures they need to repay the bond.
Neither of those make sense in this context.
That's how I started using "lol." If I wanted to be formal - but honestly on the internet it's really not necessary.
Yeah, that's how I started with lol
I'm my experience it's about a ten to one ratio of people who shit on vegans because they "never shut up about it" vs vegans who actually never shut up about it.
A true testament to how many people they annoy.
I'm wondering if Gaben could buy a semiconductor foundry and start producing RAM.
Because statistically most pole dancers are ladies.
The amateur requirements were primarily a method to keep the poors out of sporting events. The vast majority of those who could take the time out to properly train for an event were rich enough to not need a proper job. Allowing professionalism has opened up the playing field to the most talented - at least in theory.
There's no way they could reasonably force us to use an inferior plug.
First one done, everything seemed to work, assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were great.
Changes - buffer tubes were printed separately with variable layer height in Orca, I've read this helps feeding filament, settings:
Adaptive height 0.08, radius 4.
Triangle Lab kit only seems to come with long springs for the buffer tube, so you'll be building the long stroke version. I wasn't aware there were multiple versions so no loss. They are on the BoM though, so hopefully it saves someone else having to scour the instructions to see if the "missing springs" are needed.
I think I'll try printing the housings for the next one with support, some of the overhangs are a bit misshapen and had to be cleared out with a drill bit. This may still bite me further down the line when I need to fit the module to the base.
It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to take apart if necessary.
I'd think about bending the solder tabs on the motors before soldering as well, it's a bit of a squeeze inside the housing and it's harder to bend them after.
Hopefully I'll get a second housing printed this week and at least another module assembled at the weekend.
I've just taken a quick look, I've not checked off the BOM yet, but motors, boards, PTFE tube and a collection of parts have arrived. There's a bit of a description/warning sheet and a link to a Google drive with it too. Will check out some more over the next couple of days.
It could be, alternatively if the company goes out of business tomorrow you lose.
The question you need to ask yourself is how it will do vs other options, I'm no investor by any means but I'd be wondering:
a) would an index fund beat it long term (historically you might see 7% annual gains on a fund that tracks NYSE over the same period)
b) why is it trading below its face value - everyone has the same information about this bond in theory, therefore bond traders are aware of the same thing, if it was a great deal it would be in demand and the price would rise. So someone more experienced than us has accounted for the return and the risk/reward for them says $80 is right.
c) does it beat inflation - $450 payoff seems nice now (assuming you save up all those $5s) 30 years ago it would've seemed even better, but $100 in 1997 has the spending power of $200 today - in 70 years time the $450 might have the equivalent spending power of $100 today. Which is to say your real terms return may only be $20 over 70 years.
