    You know you're getting old when.....

    I've got one of these, but I just treat all slots as "am" since I only take prescriptions once a day. But yeah, you dread having one, you make jokes about needing one, but once you have one, you will end considering it like an extra vital appendage. heh

    Why would they put that level of effort in? If you're carpet bombing text smishing you just throw at everybody. I've gotten attempts like this involving "bank account access" for banks I have never had accounts with.

    I love getting scam texts like these.... And thinking to myself... They're sure doing a lot of work for a coinbase account with currently around $9 of scraps in it. Times must be rough for em.

    Dogwood roots... Had a damn dogwood tree in the back yard which was dying so I had it removed around 5 years ago, had the stump ground out, and listened to the stump guy bitch about it the whole time. STILL running into these damn near indestructible roots it left behind when I try to do...

    I've noticed Grok doing this. As I have asked about good practices for cultivating peach saplings, and information about my car (with year, make, and model) and now when I ask it other things if it's tangental to those it will sidebar things like "This would also be good for your peach trees"...

    I'd say... Off the top of my head, looking at the size, of that : Get a piece of modelling clay that hardens in air (like sculpee) big enough to cover it well Lay a piece of plastic wrap over a good corner Press the clay on top to make an "image" of a good corner. Set this aside and let it...

    I wish I didn't agree with your underlying assertion here as much as I do. That's one reason Trump needs to overload the thing and win fast if he's going to fight this fight. If it becomes really protracted then public opinion will hammer Trump, which he does care about.

    I'd say to dig out whatever is loose/soft and see if it's really a hole through, or just as you suspected a poorly mixed area. Once you know that patching shouldn't be too difficult.

    WTF Happened In 1971? Also for @Tide27 apparently.... Yeah... Since I was around 2 years old the only thing backing our money was the fact that everybody uses us as a reserve currency plus our military capability to go "export freedom" at will.....

    It's KNOWN that other have partial ownership of the gold reserves. It was one of the things about us becoming the reserve currency had somehow also involved many countries storing gold with us. There was just a news article about rumblings that Germany might request something like 120 tons of...

    I think one of the points is that the standard story setups are all so generic. Because you're really watching to see what the characters you have interest in would do at said generic event to go to... Please don't post Sakamoto Days spoilers yet... I'm not done with the season.

    Well, with the markets closed now... Yes, we closed friday in the green overall. But I don't think it was in the green enough to justify calling a significant bullish tidal shift, IMHO. We didn't recover to Wednesday's high for instance. So I'm not calling the "absolute win" here. But...

    Well, with a default reserve currency, we're getting back to the core of what "money" is. It just has to be something all parties involved agree has an intrinsic value representation as a proxy for things of value (be that goods, service, whatever). The market/world seems to agree that BTC...

    You say gold is illiquid, but countries deal in gold reserves still to this day. It's just become unpegged from the currency valuation directly due to FIAT currency becoming en vogue. For instance : In China, they have a lot of gold in the ground, but don't have a lot of companies that are...

    I have my suspicions.. and well... if you look over here.... See above as one alternative. And as much as many of us dream of the day of BTC being the default for reserves the fact that no country (or group of countries) controls it means they probably won't accept/embrace it for something...

    How it will cause problems is that the T bond rates go up when people sell/dump them, because of how T bonds work. This becomes an issue because when the US needs to issue new debt, or refinance existing debt, it has to sell bonds on the bond market. When it does it has to pay interest on...

    OK, So I wrapped up the "reseal the travertine shower" project. Question I have now is how long to let the new sealer cure before use. Bottle says 24-72 hours for a complete cure, but "Can be used in 8 hours". I could see 8 hours for something which would have minimal water contact like a...
