    Buckle Up: Silicon Valley Bank Seized by the Fed

    OK. I'm putting away about 2 grand a month in anticipation of 2 weddings in mid and late 2024. They're already living together, buying homes in USA and Europe, so in effect already married so it's not like it's not going to happen if I don't help with expenses. Tell me where to put this...

    Wind farm in Germany is being dismantled to expand coal mine

    Just the amount of space necessary for the batteries to supply a small village with electricity is staggering. For lead-acid batteries you would need a small shed to house enough batteries for a mid-size single family house, and you still need a generator of some sort to keep the batteries from...

    Wind farm in Germany is being dismantled to expand coal mine

    Peak electrical usage across the world is from 4pm to 9pm. Maintaining enough electrical power generated by solar panels in batteries can be done for one family unit, but it doesn’t scale up well for towns and cities.

    custom fixed blades?

    I’ve seen a few, not many, grown men walking around town shopping, and even in a bar, wearing full size, kind of fancy fixed blades knives with leather sheaths. These guys aren’t dressed like they are coming from the woods or doing manual labor. I don’t know what the law is, but I haven’t heard...

    Buckle Up: Silicon Valley Bank Seized by the Fed

    To prove that a gold or silver coin is in fact a real gold or silver coin, the design, the sculpting, the facia, of the coins have become increasingly more complicated and precise. It would be difficult to make a counterfeit American Liberty coin, maybe not so hard a Canadian Maple Leaf. It also...

    Buckle Up: Silicon Valley Bank Seized by the Fed

    I buy, and have been buying gold and silver coins as Christmas stocking stuffers or birthday presents for my children, their spouses, and my grandchildren. I know I pay a big mark-up, but I'm not laying it all on the line with my purchases. It doesn't hurt for me to buy them.I hope they never...

    Buckle Up: Silicon Valley Bank Seized by the Fed

    I think American and Canadian gold and silver coins are more recognisable and therefore more readily accepted for trade/barter exchange than bullion. I think use of gold and silver in transactions would be very limited in any brave new world. If people find out you have gold and silver they...

    The governor has called for the government-mandated construction of 800,000 low-cost housing units across New York State.

    I fear what might be built are mid-rise multiple dwellings constructed of engineered wood products. I've seen them in NYC and Montreal. Some are 7-10 stories high, all wood product construction. I fear these are the making of a tragedy. The mixture of wood pieces bound together with a...
