The Minnesota State Senator who filed a Bill defining TDS as an actual mental illness in Minnesota was arrested for soliciting sex from a minor. Good people! https://www.fox9.com/news/minnesota-senator-justin-eichorn-arrest Illegal, and socially shameful but honestly not that strange (17, not 12). ...

I recently read that Scythians drank from their enemies’ skulls.

I believe Kriegsspiel once wrote that his ancestors did the same.
Maybe he’s Scythian.

I wish I could fit even a pipe cleaner in the workings that are left after I remove the actual blades-er, burrs. I ran it this morning and the beans are disappearing from the hopper, but it takes forever to produce a pot of coffee 😂 Maybe the burrs are just worn out. This thing is quite old. I was h...

I guess the grounds are stuck on there from the natural oils. They didn’t vaccuum well.

I’ll try that! I already cleaned the burs and bean-hopper this morning but I didn’t think to vacuum out the innards. Just have to figure out which vaccuum to use.

Right!

I’m sure there’s some internet law that as soon as a significant number is hit, pundits have to start talking about the next milestone. But couldn’t the next stop be 2500?

Why is my coffee burr grinder grinding less and less, meaning I have to run it longer and longer to just to make 20 oz of coffee?

One difference, although perhaps not terribly important: currency stashed away eventually becomes something you need to trade in for more up to date currency. Your mileage may very depending on country of residence. (Or, as noted in Breaking Bad, it may be vulnerable to silverfish). Gold can just si...

P.S. I was going to bring up the fact that Palantir bought $50MM worth of gold, but they dumped it!

I’m kind of skeptical that I’ll ever rebalance gold. l’m starting to think of it as part of its own portfolio. It’s not part of my retirement savings. It’s not to be touched except as a last resort. Added to when excess cash is on hand. Passed down to my children with these same instructions, along...

I watched Severance 2.9 last night and was sure there would be a meme. I was not disppointed.

I filled out a very long survey in paper a few years ago and got maybe $100 for it. Never again, though. too many questions.

Absolutely.
