    Today, Saturday I just bought a couple grand worth of Silver

    Yeah, but the quantity and quality of the silver hasn't changed. Only the value of the dollar has changed.

    If you won a million dollars, what would you do?

    Yes, Brighton is a very nice area and the neighboring 'burbs are also excellent. There are a number of universities in and around Rochester...University of Rochester, Nazareth University, St. John Fisher University, a few nearby State University of New York (SUNY) campuses, as well as many...

    What do you use a UV flashlight for?

    Yeah, I gotta go with Haertig on this one. Our adorable felines discharge unexpectedly and it takes a blacklight to nail down where they had their mishap so we can clean it thoroughly. I really like his idea of "you whiz, you fry" but I'm not sure how to set that up in my home.

    If you won a million dollars, what would you do?

    Hey! I used to live and go to school in Baltimore and now live in Rochester, NY. Give a shout if I can help in any way. I'd use the million dollars to buy items that hold value - I'd divest of the dollars themselves.

    FRS/GMRS and MURS frequencies for emergencies?

    I use 'em even when there aren't any emergencies. My Wouxun UV9PX is unlocked and set up with local ham repeaters as well as GMRS repeaters (I have a GMRS license as well as a ham license). And I have MURS and FRS in there, too. Since GMRS licenses are only $35 and don't require taking a test...

    Up coming digital money grab by the government

    I'm pretty sure this came from a post here, but it's worth posting again. A cashless society means absolutely no cash. Zero. It doesn't mean mostly-cashless and you can still use a wee bit of cash here and there. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable and fully controlled. Those...

    Liberal state declares war on small farmers and homesteaders

    I'm curious if anyone has run into this where they live. At the moment, they appear to be targeting small farmers who sell their produce rather than folks who produce food just for themselves. The article below breathlessly tells us all the nefarious plans globalists have, but I'm just...

    Walmart plans to charge you to use self checkout.

    We go to Wally-whirled infrequently as it is. That frequency will be reduced to 0 trips per year as a result of this. Let me know how it works out.

    The Collapse Of American Businesses

    I remember talking with my father in law about how professionalism and taking pride in doing a job well had died 20+ years ago. Around here, younger people know how to game the system. Retail stores and restaurants won't give workers 40 hours/week, so they get no benefits and their weekly...
