    Should have had a contest on what the price of silver was going to top out at before crashing.

    Yeah more refiners are only taking .999 and such not sterling or junk. Less work to come out with what they want in the end. I don't know how many refiners there are but a number of shop owners post online and videos that dealing with them is a pain in the ass. TIL >$100 silver is a cube...

    My parents sold a house and the pre sale inspection the buyer paid for the inspector came out and leaned his ladder against the two story house nad looked up and said "nah, not today". He was mega fat. I've always wondered how many other sale inspectors and building inspectors are the same...

    I think they draw out of a hat for the weather, multiple times a day. Earlier it was forecst 50 for a high. It barely broke freezing. Then later the foecast overnight was 25, now it says 10. The forecast for tomorrow high is 54 hich I'm guessing it will top out at around 30 or less now.

    If you live in an area with lots of trees like I do (landlocked in the national forest) when an ice storm hits you really can't sleep at night due the crashing sound of limbs falling through the trees and then hitting the ground. It's quite loud when it is semi quiet. Pine trees are self...

    Here in southwest MS 3" of rain in the last 6 hours. Still mid 40's. Edit - 2am and it stopped raining, NOAA says it's 67 here. I thought no fucking way. Got up and went and looked at the outdoor thermometer. Yup 67. Went outside to be sure I wasn't dreaming. The forecast for 6am is 40, 32 at...

    If it gets down to 6 here next week that's pretty cold for this area. In 1989 it got down to 5-6 in Baton Rouge and I'm 300 miles northwest of there. I remember 1989 because Exxon tried to empty an oil tank. It has been in the 40s the day before. That oil hadn't cooled off enough and the valve...

    Reading reports of some coin shops and such not buy sterling siver and junk silver (old US coins that had silver in them) anymore. Larger silver places like ampex put a minimum to buy and to sell. Like $500 minimum to buy and $2000 to sell and such. Watched a video of a shop owner who said it...

    Most inspections are to make sure the building is not going to fall over 15 minutes after inspection, burn down due to bad wiring and such. Very little to make sure it is actually built "right" or good.

    If it's as cold as they say it's going to be for as long it's going to push the season back. Of course forecast are always wrong. Plenty of water this year though.
