Drag a corner across a stone, drop silver-testing acid on the streak, and see what color it turns. Or if you're a clueless pawn-shop employee,...
That's all I can tell, too. I mean, I can see it's a 1969-S cent, but...
That's the whole problem. We need advanced electronics to run the factories making advanced electronics. Disconnected spare parts wouldn't be...
You can gather a bunch of 90% coins, or 40% halves, or 35% war nickels, wrap them in rolls, and stuff them in boxes. Anyone can easily see what...
Well, maybe -- but how many libraries still have non-electronic catalogs? Here's a good short treatment of the problem, from 1961. :rolleyes:...
Well, that doesn't sound suspicious at all. Two packages going missing from the same location, with the same carrier? Hmm.
We're climbing a really huge pyramid here -- all today's technology is based on many decades of accelerating progress. "Starting over", even with...
What? No love for Poor Poor Pitiful Me?
It's not eight hours, it's endless days as I rotate old stock. I guess I could just view MREs as permanent. For that matter, I guess I could view...

That last (edge-on) photo looks like something very sharp sliced into the coin at a shallow angle...?
Big show this weekend. I'll consider selling some gold if we end the week at current levels, I'll almost certainly sell some if we end higher. I'd...
You know how dogs are. "Because they can", and all that. :rolleyes:
I recently learned that you don't have to have the package slip to get your package, if you have the tracking number and a photo ID (and you need...
Twinkies? In light of my comments about "nutritional disasters" above, my attitude toward Twinkies should be obvious. In reality, they have about...
That's why "prepping" needs to involve lots of non-perishable food and drinkable water first, before cash, PMs, bullets, etc. My problem? I hate...
Cryptocurrency, of course! Or the ever-popular Amazon gift cards. :rolleyes: Edit: or, as it used to be known, company scrip.

Separate names with a comma.
