Re: Favorite Podcasts?
Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman. I've never learned more from any one source than I have from Bart. https://www.bartehrman.com/podcast/ I hope your eternal future is not compromised by learning from an atheist. I also meant no offense by this. Before I started listening to Bart I was one of those...

Re: Gardens
I live in FL and grow year-round on my 1 acre homestead. Tomatoes, melons, lettuce, beans, broccoli, sunflowers, tobacco, peanuts. Plus I have a small orchard fruit trees: peach, fig, alvacado, citrus, plums, ect. Gardening is a great hobby. I also have 6 chickens. I eat 3 fresh eggs every morning ...

Re: Silver
Not to be a downer, but the premiums on physical silver make it a non-starter for me as an investment. I wish you success if you decide to pull the trigger, however. You're right on the premiums. Silver Eagles were close to 100% premium a couple months back. They are still obscene, which is why I w...

Re: How Do You Balance Work And Leisure?
I don't balance them. As a government employee I do the absolute minimum needed to keep my job. I don't even know what to say, other than there should be no government employees. Even if you aren't a libertarian, you can see that the private sector would deal with this in a better fashion. Someone ...

Re: How Do You Balance Work And Leisure?
There’s an old saying: Nobody on their death bed ever said, “I wish I’d spent more time at the office.” Tortoise This is pretty much my reasoning. I have a lot of goals in life and none of them involve working. As a government employee I do the absolute minimum needed to keep my job. There’s an arg...

Same specifications as a UK Sovereign. With patience you can find these close to melt; and look at those mintages!

Re: Best Deal right now on Gold
One thing I've thought of doing is buying low-mintage, graded proof gold from countries other than the United States. There are times when you can get them for close to melt. I wouldn't do it with more than, say, 25% of my gold allocation because these coins are not nearly as recognizable as the com...

Re: Linux, continued
It's hard to get exact specs for the new machines, but it looks a lot what Dell has done in the past in terms of providing support and ensuring compatibility for Ubuntu and Fedora. The value added here is probably in ensuring that all the hardware is supported and runs well with linux, which can be ...
