You also don't need "provenance" or "sealed ingots". Any shop will unseal them and run them over the sigma tester or under an XRF gun. These new accounts that pop up to spread FUD are one example of the forces at p

I've sold plenty, actually. I've never been ripped off. If you're going to a gold buying store in a mall, yes, you will get ripped off, but that's your fault

I started buying silver, platinum, and gold coins. Itches that “get shiny” scratch, and I’ve been profitable enough to not regret collecting something. After I got started, I became a calmer, more rational investor in the digital realm. Som

Why is the default to tax more and not spend less? Is there really no limit to the amount of spending the government should do? You see no possible use of resources that would be wasteful?

You’re right the world is a lot more accepting. No matter how much things improve and how positive the trajectory though, there will be someone online who tells us it’s not enough

Another idiotic policy by Amazon to motivate me to use small sellers even when available on the Amazon storefront

I’ll probably make a small order just because. It’s been heartbreaking watching my local radio, electronics, and mil/gov surplus stores shutter in the last 15 years. I have a genuine sense of losing a piece of culture.

4chan has a large cesspit, but it gathers a lot of intelligent people who can ignore the noise. For any interest, there’s someone somewhere who made a half decent thread on the topic. There’s decent barriers too (as in the less talked abou

I prefer NA but I can have a lot of joy with a proper turbo or two, or a supercharger. There’s a big difference between a turbo used to pass emissions standards and one installed for fun

REI is routinely rated one of the best places to work. When I was there, we had both a pension plan and a 401k with match. Part time employees got PTO and (really good) insurance. They have mandatory paid sabbaticals on top of PTO. But as a

You can’t declare one group reasonable without implying the other side is unreasonable. Your phrasing and framing was more nuanced than most I admit Reasonable is both a legal term used in legislation and a term that appears in gun debates

The “reasonable people” phrase is so abused in this debate. “If you disagree with my logic, you’re not a reasonable person” is rhetoric that would not fly in any other debate setting but is standard in the discussion of firearm laws

We should hold Pharma companies liable for every death. They make money off the success cases. Not doing so is another example of privatized profits and socialized risks/costs. Something like a program with reduced costs for those will

Science drives products, though. Very few people would be interested in a square inch of refined sand flipping electric charges between positive and negative, if it didn’t result in a yellow circular man eating dots and chasing ghosts. Grap

The voyager missions took advantage of a rare planetary alignment for massive gravity assists. Their primary mission was investigating Jupiter, Saturn, their moons, a bit of Uranus and Neptune. There’s not much to investigate going out ever

And then you’re stuck paying for every cast and crew for the time they are not working. If you end up having to shoot another day, you’ll have to pay that too, which may not be budgeted for. This can easily put the value of a few lost minut
