Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
Anyone buy PM from Money Metals? Their premiums are lower than APMEX. Right now they're selling junk dimes and quarters at $3 below spot. My experience selling junk to a shop is they'll buy it at spot, so it seems like an opportunity to make some lunch money.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I've bitched about this before, and gonna do it again... The plural of an abbreviated word does not involve an apostrophe! RFIs, not RFI's GCs, not GC's GRs, not GR's From the 90s, not the 90's. The only group of people in my company who get it consistently right are the marketing department. Everyone else needs to go back to remedial english.

Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
When I started as a field engineer, one of the foreman was scaring us new hires with stories about horrible construction accidents he witnessed. In one, he said column rebar cage started swaying and everyone ran away without looking to see which direction it would fall. A poor guy got hit and pancaked. If he had only looked behind.

Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you
I facetimed my parents in Taiwan to wish them a happy Chinese New Year. My mom is 76 and my dad is 85, and they look great. My mom probably looks her age, but my dad's face is radiant and without a lot of the wrinkles you associate with such an old guy, They eat relatively healthy, my dad reads a lot and has written quite a few books; my mom plays piano, teaches other ladies how to quilt, and is brushing up on her English everyday. They have a lot of friends that get together to play board games and ping pong. I hope they stay this way forever, but know the day will come when they get sick or just get too old to take care of themselves. But in the mean time, I just enjoy texting them, calling them regularly, and look forward to the summer when they stay with us for 2-3 months at a time.

It’s Not Raining Ever: 2026 Edition
Lighting and thunder in the OC last night. I was pleased. There have been fewer than 10 thunderstorms since I moved here 20+ years ago.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
I bruised some ribs on my right side during a skiing accident in December. It took about 5 weeks to fully recover. Well, last night I hurt my left side while wrasslin’ with my son. He’s doing well in BJJ, but the coaches told him he needs to work on his explosiveness. So anyway, I decided to “show him” what explosiveness looked like by making a sudden move and promptly landed on his knee. I don’t think I broke anything, but it hurts like a MFer.

Shit My Kid Says
My son is either getting better at chess or I'm just getting worse. Either way I'm taking each loss like a pussy. So after he beat me 6 times in a row, he said "Dad, I'm just going to play against people on the internet because you're bad. I mean like really bad."

Post a pic that makes you lol
Boar always looked so tasty in the Asterix comic books. I recall some posts here saying wild boar in Texas is nasty, diseased animals not worth eating. But some people on the intergoogles say feral pigs / boards are good eating. So which is it?

The Guitar Pron Thread
I play that song with my daughter. Her on her ukulele, me on my guitar. It's a nice little bonding moment for us. [Edit] Just adding that the strum pattern is a bitch.

I have a toothache. I'm pretty good about dental hygiene and haven't had a cavity in 40 year. The dentist didn't see anything at my last checkup, so this is a bit out of the blue.

I sold a guitar on Craigslist. Much less drama on CL compared to FB Marketplace.

Re-season Cast Iron Pans
I’ve been cooking everything in the GSI skillet lately. I wash it in the evenings to get rid of any bits and rub on some grape seed oil. For breakfast, I fried up some eggs and it was glorious. No scraping with a spatula, just a light push and eggs slid around. The big win is my wife is starting to use it as well. She hates the Lodge because she didn’t trust the seasoning, and also because it weight 7 pounds. The GSI pan is half the weight. Only downside is the handle gets a little hot. If the other Hexclads starts deteriorating, I'll just get the 8" and 10" version of these pans.

Sold some META, MSFT, SBUX and VOO. Moved the funds to materials and energy ETFs. What could possibly go wrong?
