guys, people are convicted of crimes they don't do, so we shouldn't put anyone in prison anymore, ok?

You said it, not me.

A lot of people find themselves in prison because they couldnt afford a real lawyer, and their court appointed lawyer has too much on their plate to provide a well planned, thought out, and executed defense, so a lot of people take plea deals because its less time, not because they necessarily did it and want to minimize their time. If you had the choice between 5 years for admitting to it(plea deal) or mount a shoddy trial via public defense where if you win you are free but if you fail you get 30+ years....

Thats the reason I am wary of various things because you need to look at it from the perspective some people are in the position they are in through no real fault of their own.

Yep.

Duckbear is a golden god and anybody who disagrees can fuck off. W

maclunkiest thing, eh?

Where I work I love when people pay with cash because its more goodies for me to hunt through being a collector and all that. However fuck people who pay with a S100 or $50 note when you just open or their total is very small. Thats my main annoyance with cash. Though I can either cash it out or have my manager break it down into 20s....we aren't a bank and customers should be aware or this or at least CARE.

I was working at a store on a street with no less than 3 banks in a few block radius when a person comes in with a $100 note early in the morning after the bank deposit was just made. I didnt have the cash to break it down nor enough in my drawer to give him change. We told him to go to one of the several banks easily within walking distance and he looked at us as if we were speaking a foreign language, then came back like 30 minutes later telling us how another business was able to do it for him(but again, not a bank).

I use cash sometimes for smaller purchases to get rid of some one dollar bills. mostly I use a card though. And I always try to have cash on me because I might find a use for it while im out and I do not want to be one of those "absolutely no reason at all to carry cash" when im in a store where the card system have gone offline randomly or something.

Lots of people on here can't help themselves(for lack of a better term?) and shit on peoples parades all the time. My view is, rather than act like that, use the ignore list so you dont look like a goof.

look i get it, but this is kinda getting dragged out over something i kinda dismissed immediately.

if we aint talking bullion(Ag, Au, Pt, Cu or cubes for that matter)....we ain't talkin'

even though ive been victim if we're talking zang here i dont know if he'd crack top 5 in terms of users who just enter topics to say shit.

I spent another two hours or so making my spreadsheet look good

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QO-Xb3FctCVKDATSRh9Jw4Dcu-_sz5E969X_9-bGecw/edit?usp=sharing

with a spot of $17.83

I have 100.05 troy ounces of silver split between things I have bought, found for face value, found for free, and gifts I have been given.

value: $1,783.99
cost: $1,310.11
net: $473.88
total pieces: 105

Mainly other than adding stuff I've found or bought, I massively expanded my order history to note date of purchase and the net cost on the order. The 10 ounce bar was a good ijnvestment at +$29, and the kilogram bar, despite paying like $40 in tax on it, was also a worthy investment as of today's spot with +$25 I also want to mark spot price of order and net at time of order, too, when I look up the spot prices later.

https://www.jmbullion.com/1-oz-pamp-suisse-lunar-dog-silver-bar/

Very nice package and presentation, but thats $35 for an ounce, when I can buy this and call it a day

https://www.jmbullion.com/1-oz-silvertowne-silver-bar/

However, my theory is buy the cheapest brand new bullion(so i tend to avoid the slightly cheaper listings for "random design used bar) you can find. If there is a benefit to buying that Pamp Suisse I'd be interested in hearing it. I know selling back the PS bar there might be a bit of a higher premium because its so nice in package, but I dont know if its worth it.

I dont know why it discolored like that, though as pointed out silvertown is a budget mint, generally their prices are slightly cheaper than other budget bars, but a tad more than "random used bar" listings. Once I saw those spots going purple I decided to store it in a zip loc bag. I have smaller silver ingots that have tarnished and turned slightly orange, but once I got capsules for them the one hasnt gotten worse and none of the ones that did not tarnish started to.

I got a hoarde of these cubes, see

chicken and beef for thee

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.

This is how it is done, folks. I can only hope to be this lucky.

Did you pay $800 for the silver?

Ignoring that image for a second, lets go into my Ag spreadsheet. It has not been updated with a few odds and ends(when I get my newest addition, a 5ozt silver bar I will go through an audit everything) but as of right now:

so here are my totals with a spot price of 17.83

bullion(such as pictured above. bars/coins/ingots/whatever not created by a gov't mint and has no stated face value)

81.282 ozt
1,316.54 PAID
1,449.46 VALUE
+$132.92 NET

Coins(such as american quarters, dimes, nickels, silver eagles, half dollars, and a canadian dime all with silver content)

13.5202ozt
$10.80 PAID
$241.065 VALUE
230.265 NET

combined totals

94.802 ozt
1690.33 VALUE
362.99 NET

So, I am ahead by 363 dollars based on todays spot price. What really is keeping me ahead are the coins I either find for free or find for face value, and then gifts ive been given. The bullion I have bought I am ahead but ever so slightly.

always annoyed me own goals arent a stat in hockey. the player who scored is the closest opposition play to the net right?

another thing to note, helly, is that hunting through one dollar bills will not make you rich, and you very well could go through a thousand bills and find absolutely nothing interesting.

However as I've mentioned in the past it is a free hobby, and you never lose money. So part of the appeal is how you could find something worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars but those things are exceedingly rare, another part is the fact it costs nothing.

I save every dollar bill series 2003A and before. You might not want to do this because, truthfully, there is no premium on series 2003A and I suspect in a hundred years they would still be worth a dollar. For me, thats when one dollar bills start to become scarce(2003A and prior) and it makes the hunts a little more interesting knowing I am almost gauranteed to find something every time I get out a large quantity.

Miroku_of_Nite1 posted...

Only around 120 oz there. The rest is locked away.

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

So, do I just like, go to my bank and say, "Can I get a thousand 1's", or do I have to call beforehand.

Probably not going to get a thousand out, it was an exaggeration.

I rarely go into banks asking for large amounts of bills, since I am lucky enough my bank ATMs will let you withdraw one dollar bills(depending on the machine, either 40 or 195 at a time). So that is how I do it.

A bank should be able to accommodate your request, though I am not sure. Calling beforehand and being nice could work. I'm not sure. I feel like it shouldnt be a problem but I can't say.

What you also need is a "dump bank" where you take your money and deposit it when it is done. Again, my ATMs let me deposit paper money in them so I don't need to go inside to do this. You need a dump bank for a couple reasons, namely you dont want to risk getting the same bills back in the future, and your tellers would get annoyed and likely refuse to give you so many ones if they knew you were just going to bring them back in a couple of days.

All that to consider. For me, like I said, my bank ATMs allow me to do this. As far as going inside I am not too experienced.

It's Silvertown. Their stuff always looks like shit, but its typically the cheapest you can get if you just care about weight.

Yeah. I am not sure why it discolored like that, not really knowing much about the properties of Ag, but yes it is Silvertowne, and yes I bought it because it was the cheapest kilo bar I could find. Not that I take this investing too seriously(but taking too casually is a mistake even if I don't have that much invested) but to me silver is silver. I could have spent like $20-50 more on the kilo to get something nicer, but I didn't see a point.

I don't really think acting like that is necessary.

I was just talking to a friend about this, and so the topic was on my brain. I do not make these threads to brag, nor am I really a serious silver investor. However it interests me, and if other people were to get interested and learn from something I have to say, I think that would be cool.

Nobody wants to be these people:

No. Because then we'd see real conversation die in favor of reposts that get reposted because they get upvoted.

Yeah a few times a month. I like BK but thats mainly because its the closest place to my work other than McDonalds which I do not like. If the Arbys was a little closer than It'd be arbys way more often.

I think because its a method of payment that incurs no fees like how credit cards have that transaction fee. Though there are other methods of payment and stuff I havent fully explored such as eCheck or bank transfers that also(at least on one website, jmbullion.com) are eligible for the 4% discount. So maybe in the future I can explore those options. Bullion websites are very thrifty and they tend to pass costs onto consumers(hence paying with check to avoid it) or just be cheap, like how when you get shipped the stuff it comes in an unceremonious package with very cheap presentation(which is fine with me)

I also make sure to spend $100 minimum to get free shipping each time. If i am going to spend money frivolously when buying investments, I'd rather it be a dollar more on a bar that has a cooler design vs shipping. Though oftentimes I just opt for the cheapest bars with a design I kinda like.

On most sites I've seen you get a 4% discount for using a paper check you mail in. So, despite it taking way longer than a credit card would, that is what I do.

So you place an order, mail in a check, they deposit it, and you must wait for it to 100% clear your bank, their bank, the bank of Time and Space, and then they ship it out.

So buying stuff can easily take 10+ days. You gotta be patient.

Taken straight from CNBC. No idea how to scale it down to 4 spaces, even in the editor text file I removed those but the only option is for 8 that I can see. I could fill it up but I want just the precious shit.

I managed to find one I think is going to work out here. ill post a pic in a second. i didnt make it

I want a desktop app thing to track spot prices for various things, like silver and gold.

but I want it to be very minimalist. just like 4 lines of text updating throughout the day. Not an actual bulky program. i guess more a small widget.

I figure with rainmeter this could be a thing, but I havent found one last I checked.

I could make one in rainmeter, though if I cant find anything. I dont know how but I could learn.

what did he get @LaggnFragnLarry

Nevermind (the bullocks) i was wrong.

RS may not be great but you reminded me. Palmer is the real bad shit. Ugh. Fuck Palmer. And that fatass from FF7

I guess I have to write something here?

Urine trickles down.

I used to eat sunflower seeds. But like, the shell and seed. I wasn't about to go through all that effort to crack one shell to get one tiny seed so I just shoveled them in my mouth when I ate and swallowed it all.

A day or two later pooping would be problematic. Some of the shells wouldnt digest well and would be like corn in poop, which made for an excruciating shit because the shells are pointy.

However since my colon surgery(12" removed to cure diverticulitis) I decided to stop, as I could handle it before, I don't think its worth it now.

I think I am a fan of it without beans, but i'll eat it either way because chili is awesome.

*puts case of CC handles back in car*

I see how it is now, Larry.

It depends on many things, but nobody has been able to explain to me how a guy who barely won the first time around, who now has way more people that hate him now than on election day, is somehow going to win. He won by the skin of his teeth and lost the PV by around 3 million. Are the midwest farmers being crushed right now going to vote for him? They may, I don't know, but that is one group at a bare minimum pissed off at trump, who liked him before.

I feel like people who refuse to tip should prefer it the way it is in the US.

Prices are cheaper because employees are making low wages. You arent going to tip, so your final cost is lower.

However good luck going back, and good luck if you make it obvious you arent tipping while seated.

But it seems pretty nice for one visit if thats youre deal because the food prices are likely pretty cheap most places as is.

i like tipping well. Well at least as much as i can afford. Laugh at people who get out their tip calculator app to leave exactly 15% in their card.

I try to do 20-50% in cash if i can if the service is good. But that's just me i don't care much what others do(but the "to the penny" people make me laugh

Im a 30 year old virgin. It doesn't bother me and i know at some point ill naturally find somebody since i have a personality and my friends think im hilarious. If i told this to somebody and they acted super concerned id seriously wonder what their problem is because i don't care about the sex life or lack of one of anybody else

I live with my mom and if she acted like this Ida found a way to move out or killed myself. Im not totally mom free but she really let's me do my own thing.

Perhaps sad at age 30 even so but oh well

Didn't Mick Mulvaney literally admit to the crime happening, saying "elections have consequcnes. get over it"

This is what is called a "radar" because the serial number is a palindrome.

anyways, this might be worth around $10, but the condition is not so great. But it is a serial number pattern people collect and actively search for. I have a few in my collection as it is.

I had thought, for me, that the process of checking bill serial numbers had become too automated. I have learned how to go through bills very quickly, but I had assumed I missed an eye for this shit that takes more than a second to realize what it is.

To quote Lionel Hutz after sucessfully negotiating two popsicles and a rusty old bird cage in exchange for babysitting services:

"...still got it!"

I've always like the word argonaut after seeing the movie jason and the Argonauts ages ago.

There s a band called vampire weekend. I was argonautweekend but i got banned so i had to get "creative"

I doubt it. Not a single republican voted yes today but time will tell, yes.

I've seen what fox news has been saying. Well not tonight but overall during this Ukraine thing. All you ever hear is witch hunt, waste of time, nothingburger, etc.

If thats the most popular and mainstream news source in America id be shocked if public support gets much higher than 50 %

To me this is still good overall to show the president did in fact commit crimes and have it on the record. However i feel like this isn't going to change his popularity level much. It certainly isn't going to boost it but if you are already a fan i don't see that change.

This isn't passing the Senate, sadly, which means the president can commit crimes but it doesn't matter as his team has more Senate seats. There's no question the president abused his power and broke laws(or else Mick Mulvaney lied to us all when he said to get ove4 the fact it happened) but the Republicans don't care.

This is not a great video, but here it is. No script, no rehearsal...just me rambling with (at the time) not so great knowledge so I do sound like an amatuer because I am. Even the like to dislike ratio isn't great.
