  • The last thing I saw on a Trump gold coin (not this one) was that it basically had less gold in it than sea water. The value really depends on scrap price. I know some of the official Trump brand coins are “high quality, rust and damage resistant iron alloy” so maybe 4¢ a lb. Any brass ones would be a couple bucks a pound if a place would take that particular alloy.

    Vending machines would have to be sized and programmed for them.







  • I always remember the Preppers show episode with the hippie commune. They were already involved with the local community and were talking about how they would just invite everyone to the party and keep scaling up. The show tried so hard to inject problems into the plan but they were the only ones who looked like they had a realistic idea. Everyone else was planning to solo the world or bug out to ???.

    Real world there are plenty of examples of the local community pulling together before the government and cops show up to take charge and screw it all up.


  • I knew a couple of different people who would fabricate drama if they were actually doing well for once. In a good relationship with a supportive partner? Starts talking to their ex who just got out of prison. Job and housing in order? Spends rent money on a $1200 dog. Things quieted down? Starts fights. I don’t need that nonsense anywhere near my life.




  • It always seemed like silly marketing until your kid gets Alfa-gal or you start cooking for people with allergies. The amount of stuff that has additives made from mammals, wheat, shellfish, egg, etc is really surprising. Processed in a factory/machine that also produces nuts, etc can be enough to kill some people. If they can and will say X free instead of saying everything “may contain X” that is a wonderful thing.




  • I don’t consider most conservative hunters and shooters to actually be very skilled or knowledgeable. This is based very heavily on a lot of experience and interactions. A human neck bone will definitely stop a 30-06. It might be a flesh sack of spine gravel, but having no explosion of gore is not a surprise.

    It was the most effective way to get him to shut up though. Really cute that it happened after he got dog walked so publicly by the Cambridge student.
