I don't really want to do anything with my setup because it works fine. If DHCP is switched on on the pi and not configured to assign addresses to a separate IP range from the router it's far from innocuous. Some routers also don't allow DNS settings to be modified so using the pi as DHCP lets you hand out the the pi as the DNS as well.

Haha, I feel ya. Try logging into your router's admin panel and see if you can disable DHCP from there, it might fix things. (Also be prepared to to set static IP on the device you connect to the panel from in case it has issues connecting if disabling DHCP doesn't fix things or resetting your router to factory settings should also re-enable the router as the DHCP server again).

Any chance your pihole and router are both trying to be the DHCP server for the network?

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.

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.
