Thats pretty cool. I like that image. I don't have that much tabulating coins and bullion but its nearing 100oz as we speak.

Nice, keep stacking. I've been on a freeze since like... July. I really only buy silver when its 13-15.25 an oz.

I miss the days of $10.42 oz silver back in 2006. Back then I bought 250 oz worth of silver and sold it for $40 an oz back in April 2011. I've been dormant on the whole silver trade until this year, and have been building up my supplies.

Ah, ok - it's just basic common sense laws. I think we have stuff like that in Canada, too.

'cuz I was legit thinking it was weird to not be allowed to collect rainwater while ALSO being allowed to have a swimming pool.

Well it wasn't until recently when a lot of western states basically said 'no water collection full stop.' Because rainwater apparently belonged to people with water rights. But in recent years lawmakers have looked at the laws and adjusted them.

Some states it is. Because according to the powers that be it takes water out of the watershed. But the laws really only apply to people who build massive lakes on their properties that divert water from streams/rivers.

Native Americans slaughtered most of them to extinction when they initially arrived, and found an entire continent full of animals that had never learned to be afraid of humans (see also, what happened to the dodo).

It came back to bite them in the ass later, when they reached a point of cultural development where they would settle down and potentially domesticate animals, because by then they lacked sufficient species to work with. It's why something like 5/6ths of all animals domesticated by humans all originated in either Asia, Africa, or Europe.

What's interesting is the horse originated in North America and the natives killed them all off 10,000 years ago.

But you could argue that the rot was already starting 20 years ago when magazines under the Ziff-Davis media company started to hire college grad journalism majors to write their magazines, and not actual gamers. In the early days of EGM (and many other gaming magazines) you had to pass a gaming aptitude test. Writing was second to that. You had to show that you were a gamer, and knew what you were talking about.


Do you have a source handy about the gaming aptitude thing? Not that I'm calling bullshit, just curious about it and what it entailed. It seems like the ideal solution to keep people like modern game reviewers far away from a business they have no right being in.


When Andrew Baran of EGM died ten years ago his fellow editors did a memorial to him. One of them mentioned it.

Cracked went to shit about a decade ago at this point. But enough about that. My problem with modern game journalism is it seems to be filled with people who would've rather worked for the New Yorker, The Times, or Vice. But couldn't get the gig so they went with a technology/gaming publication and proceed to write out all their opinions under the guise of game journalism.

When I was in middle school, my one history teacher had us memorize every country in the world along with their capital cities.

Since then, a large chunk of Eastern Europe, Northeastern Asia, and like half of Africa are completely different. Names change, borders change.


We had to do that with the exception of Sub-Sahara Africa. The reason to quote my teacher: "There's a new nation and capital every year in that place. It will be out of date before long."
