There was a fatal stabbing of two in Manchester today, in a Jewish synagogue on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur.
However, unlike the UK blogger who was arrested a few days ago, the stabber didn’t post any anti-Hamas tweets. Thankful for the little things.

I just think it’s funny how nasty bogleheads can be to each other in spite of the almost draconian moderation. See how sweet we are to each other with our easy, lax attitude? Take dockinGA & mathjak, for example. Few people know that they’re actually feeding pigeons from the same park bench whil...

I wish I could be as mellow as Tyler in (bh) threads like the current one on the Golden Ratio portfolio proposed by Frank Vasquez. I tend to agree with a poster named 'breakfastinbed' who said, imagine rejecting a portfolio because of its name. Yeah, I can see someone casually pointing out that ther...

Seems like just yesterday that I gave my nieces some silver coins and they were worth only a little north of $20 spot.
I guess it has been a few years.

I saw something about a 14-year high. Is this true?

^ What happened to this guy? ^

over $3800/oz spot. Over $3815 in fact.

I made it to about 70 oz, not bad. Plus some numismatic gold that I bought from my father.

I want a SeajayOS! Don’t know if I could handle it, though.

I’ve been dreaming about disconnecting from the matrix lately and using Linux as a daily driver and getting a degoogled android phone. I want to try out Omarchy. I pretty much work in the unix terminal anyway. I have also been dipping my toes in spacemacs. I tried to install doom emacs but had trou...

Agree

I dunno about coating teeth with xylitol...I ingest as few carbs as possible and coat with fluoride wash and Novamin paste. Gum will work fillings and crowns loose over the years. I don’t have crowns and only two fillings. Maybe thanks to Xylitol. And Biotene and CloSys (hat tip to MachineGhost) Do...

I thought there was no political discussion allowed at B’heads.
Well, stocks have been on an absolute tear, so I don’t know that they’re in shambles.

On-topic: Gold hit US$3785 !

I started with a dividend approach before Bogleheads. It just seemed like a ‘can’t lose’ approach and it probably is. However, I’ve pared those holdings down over the years to buy index funds, which did way better. So dizzy Hank may have a point. I still appreciate the yield on what’s left. Now that...

Well past US$3700 spot

that meme is perfection. So true!

I wish I had striven harder for the 100-ounce goal he mentioned in a youtube video.

Sounds good. Don’t give up!

In the past, some machines just weren’t Linux friendly, even if you had a proper ISO file. Macs were especially hard, while PCs have been more friendly. I think that’s why I gave up on Fedora: I wanted to put it on my old Mac mini. I learned that Fedora could work on that specific model and made the...

Is Fedora a good choice for a first-timer though? I’ve always wanted to try it, but I needed a new machine to prepare the OS for the old machine, and the plan just fell to the backburner since it was so easy to download and try Zorin. Mint was also easy. In fact, I first heard about it from PointedS...

I use this page as a guideline (see ‘We Buy’ cell) https://www.ajpm.com/gold-bullion/ I’ve never sold but I’d probably use APMEX if I ever did, because I buy from them. Their spread is definitely worse than AJPM’s, so I’m setting myself up for disappointment. O0 But, maybe it’s better if I do a bunc...

I’ve been using Zorin OS lately. Mostly so I can use tiny, text-based no-frills programs like Wordgrinder.
I play with the Terminal once in a while but consider me a fellow no-nothing when it comes to Linux.
Browser use is fine. Firefox, Brave…
