No its not, because going up in value means its inflating because the base currency you are pegging its value to is also inflating.

If there is complete societal collapse, then gold is going to be worth nothing, because you cant eat it. Bullets on the other hand you can use to take peoples food, or hunt for your own. So invest in bullets!

Now if you just expect financial collapse but not total societal then sure gold, silver, bonds are probably fine if you want “safe” stable ways to hold your investments.

In most cases, its just fear-mongering and gold has no more actual value than paper currency since they both derive their value from sentiment or perceived value. So if you show up at my house and offer me a small gold bar, you value at $10,000, and I value it at a potato, then your $10,000 is actually only worth a potato.

I would get everyone to sign the Paris agreement and give it real teeth for non compliance.

Yes it’s bait but also there is real science behind it. Sun spots are magnetic knots that are wound up magnetic lines. If the lines snap they could pull huge amounts of charged particles and launch them at earth.

The risk is that if big enough it could strip back the our magnetic field reducing our production from radiation and all the electrical charged particles. This could mean electrical systems are disrupted, destroyed, or even catch fire. In the worst case the amount of radiation could kill millions.

So yeah chances are very low but never 0.

FFS I can watch you clear a firearm and the first thing I will do is clear it when handed to me or I pick it up at the range.

Always assume it’s loaded. It’s not hard.

It’s the best worst case and there is still room for rebbel to find meaningful support. I’m just sad it happened your way. I wish Eric could have been more patient, and I wish rebbel could have been faster to react. All the personal stuff and respect issues are just a bummer all around.

Mostly good news except they cut out the foundation that did all the work keeping it alive for the last 9 years.

It’s good it’s going open it sucks that they are forking the amazing work of the community rather than contributing directly into the existing branch.

But I like eating normal meals and not doing forced labor. I also enjoy taking shit about my leaders and government.

The Epstein ballroom?

Can I have the reverse and selectively recall memories my AuADHD/limited working memory forget?

Dive weights and belts are generally Lead and I have seen them used in other applications too. if you search for steel ones they come up on Amazon and other sites.

They do make weighted vests and dumbbells with other materials but they generally cost more. So if you dont like bulky sand then try spending a bit more to get something with steel/lead/tungsten.

I had a really bad day a few months ago, and two of them were ready to get on a plane that afternoon if I had needed it. I dont know of any other game where I could find my people, and that would build a support group, and friend group willing to put everything on hold for each other. So yeah if I could relive the experience of undocking, flying around, and meeting my friends for spreadsheets, shenanigans, and space ships I would.

So many amazing memories, staying up too late, getting a text message to drop everything and log in, fleet battles with nothing but silent professionalism on voice, logging into the test server and spending hours on meta tactics and ship loadouts, drunken ice mining in low sec, 5 person frigate gangs ransoming capital ships. That game, and that time had something special for all of us.

Minisforum V3 is the next best after the Framework 12. It has a better CPU but its not a real laptop its a surface like device, and while the CPU is far more powerful than the Framework 12, it will only get about 4 hours on battery. If you can pick up a “bricked” V3 it is possible to unbrick it, but its a PITA, but because of that they can be found for a deal.

hey, no kink shaming! Its just one of, not my only, and it gave me my best friends, even after we all quit the game we remain dedicated and close.

I enjoyed the game but I was playing before all the titan tactics became the meta.

Eve online that first year was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and undocking and flying around that first time is a feeling I would choose to do again.

I moved to OnShape since its web based I can use it in linux without issues. FreeCAD is good, but it randomly was slow on my laptop and I cant figure out whats wrong :(

Totally understand, but now we need to primary him and get someone who will actually do the job, and not kowtow to AIPAC.

Cruelty is the point, as is poverty. Keeping you poor and always looking for the next meal means you will work for slave wages and let capitalism extract maximum value from your labor.

The rich are convinced there is only enough for them and that they must prevent you from having more to stay rich. In addition to that the rich think they are better people because they are rich. They dont give money away to actually help, they do it because it makes them feel like good people. Thanks in part to evangelicalism in the US there is also a perception that being wealthy is a blessing from God, so people who are poor, must not be with God. If the poor are not with God, then they should be punished for being Godless, which means they should be punished for being poor.

When you hear the phrase “eat the rich” its critique of this capitalist system that pushiness the poor and hungry for the gain of a few fragile ego’s.

You want change? Then we need to replace the government with people who are working class, and not class traitors like Fettermen. Find progressive and socialist candidates like Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, Platner, and people who stand up for the many like Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and Katie Porter.
