Same here Saturday. Woke up to the sound of the wind blowing. 35-40mph. The forecast was way off for the day but tonight it's dropping down about like predicted. Can't imagine going to hustle for beads with windchill in the single digits. Imagine reaching to pickup a bead or doubloon and...

Haven't been in almost 20 years. Not a lot, but the few times I went that song was pretty popular. No idea why, totally non minority place.

I read some time ago the woman on there that was the sister of Redd Foxxs wife. Esther (LaWanda Page) was a big comedian and at one time a fire dancer. Reading the story she was terrible at first but Redd Foxx wanted her. She couldn't do a script at all and needed to adlib so that's what she did.

They play that song a lot in strip clubs. No idea why.

Takes all kinds. Forecast tonight where my sister lives in LA is single digits windchill, so what are you going to do when it's below average cold? Have your mardi gras parade tonioght obviously. Family type parade she's on the crew of. I went to New Orleans Mardi Gras once in college and it was...

Kind of like fishing. By the time you hear it's a good time to go it means you should have been there yesterday.

Crazy part is silver had a 25% hit and is only back to where it was about 3 weeks ago. Lot of people didn't want to be left holding the bag at the top. Guess we'll see. Did learn that the Chinese market price of silver includes their tax/vat or whatever it is.

Friend from high school went into the navy. I didn't know whaty he did being enlisted. I know whern he got out he griped about how "touch" it was all the time. Finally his dad had enough and laid into him. His dad was a submariner during Vietnam and was drafted. My friend accorrding to his dad...

When CME first upped the margin reqeuirements some time ago a number of people were saying it was because "someone" such as a big bank were in too deep shorting and needed the help. I don't know but recently until today was still seeing people talking about digging up junk silver and sterling...

Metals and a lot of stuff down today. Silver down to $93, gold at $4,999.

CME raised silver margin requirements yesterday to 11% from 9%

Overclocking was a big deal way back. Had an AMD FX 55 or FX 57 clawhammer. Rocking that 90nm chip on a 939 socket lol. Looked it up, jeeze that was 20 years ago or so.

Warm for a few days and then it's back, weekend hovering near single digits with lots of rain on and off.

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...

Down to single digits for a short while 100 miles north of New Orleans. Up to about 40 already by noon.

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.

To the moon. Hisorically gold hasd been 20x silver. Gold hit >$5,000 ounce earlier. Silver around $105/ounce.

I'm a bright side kind of a person, well not really. Looking at the extended forecast the 8th high is forecast to be 74 lol. Just yesterday it was s upposed to be a week or more of never reaching above freezing which we normally get that high in a week, now it's all highs for a week of 50+...

The weather forecast keeps etting revised up and up. Tomrrow 50 and Tuesday 54 whhere just yesterday it was a high of <20. I guess mission accoplished, panic instigated.

Thank God the weather is on the ball. Low of 19 forecast and it said "dress warmly", nah I was thinking of going out and skinny dipping.

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...

Cooled off. Wind blew with gust of about 40mph for a while then the temp dropped from 70 to 35 in about half an hour. Had a tornado warning. Now it's right at freezing.

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...

Already answered. Three brothers. Billionaire family. They filed for bankruptcy but they eventually made "some" of it back.

As my girlfriend pointed out today on my birthday. 20,083 days.

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...

They changed the forecast. Tuesday low of 6. It's still raining a lot in Housotn.

I don't think it is , yet. Looks like the panhandle might be, just now reaching DFW. Nothing down here in east, TX. https://oksnowplows.org/ Some funny names. The last one a few years ago I was watching a stream of morning traffic on I-20 in Dallas just as it was getting daylight. People...

It's whiteish outside here in east, TX. Not snow, not sleet really. When they had the ice or snow pocalpyse a few years I lost power for a total of 20 minutes or so. My power is co op and comes from Lousiana 30 miles away. The co op is not great, but their office is minutes away and all their...

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...

Could of, should of...Silver was $21 or so per troy ounce a year ago. Today it broke $100 troy ounce.

Facebook might be, Google might be, the FBI isn't or the FBI would be raiding my house and my friends house. Just saying.

You know things are bad when Mathil is playing a coin pusher/casino simulation on stream for a few hours.

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.

It is funny seeing all the hype and such on how to prepare for cold weather. I mean it's super rare, it's not like it gets cold every year in winter. What will we do? I can sere prolonged cold weather but some of the hype stories, don't leave your pets outside. Gee no shit? It's 10 degrees, I...

Put the shit on the porch if it's too cold to have the power restored.

Pretty sure Tesla is sucking up all the driver info from Telsa cars/drivers to fuel their AI self driving car. But at least those people know it, or should know it.

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.
