  • On the off chance that you have a drop ceiling or some other means of doing some light wiring, I recently installed these and the feature makes for a lovely ambience. https://a.co/d/cBrNSwU

    If linky no worky, search Amico 6 Pack Black 4 Inch 5CCT LED Recessed Ceiling Light with Night Light

    Bonus feature: it comes with The Big Lighttm too. Install is 3/10 for simplicity.

  • Now that shit is funny. Nearly every item a zinger.

    The portrait from the painter in Colorado that old Drumphy is supposedly infuriated about, replete with puffy, shiny orange cheeks and all, that’s the real coup de grace.

    Trump says "there will be bombing" if Iran does not make nuclear deal

    Cool, cool. Very diplomatic. The best diplomacy.

  • Thoughtful and thought-provoking response.

    I think we agree that the process will be a gradual one rather than a series of lightning strikes (although the rapid erosion of both hard and soft power, economic and otherwise, over the last few months is discouraging), and certainly as you point out, of the value of the dollar may not correlate with its supremacy as a reserve. Furthermore, precedent, most notably with the British pound’s dethroning as the world’s reserve currency, and subsequent resilience in spite of same, reinforces your point.

    I would happily research any further specific suggestions you might have as far as hedging and diversification.

  • I don’t know why the downvote; I found your answer to be worthy of further study. On a very brief first encounter, Monero seems dauntingly complicated for a typical non-technically-oriented investor. Certainly seems to have its merits for those that do understand the finer points, but one of the oldest maxims of investing is have a full understanding of how the sausage is made.

    Incidentally, for those whose assets are already well known to those in power, I think more transparent solutions might be the logical course of action.

    Gold is certainly on my radar. Currently pondering the best possible avenue e.g. physical, GLD, miners, etc. and will certainly explore goldbacks. I imagine that could be a thread of its own.

    Thanks for your response.

    Dedollarization

    It seems as though the endgame to all of the political chaos we are experiencing in the US is the dethroning of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Putting aside for the moment the question of why or whom might benefit from such an outcome, what is the best way to play defense if your wealth is dollar-denominated?

  • Dunno if age appropriate but I like to give knives when possible.

    These are the most absurdly competent $10 tool you can buy if you can stomach the source (wally world):

    I have a drawer-full and they make a great (cheap) “I was thinking of you” token.

  • “Exchange” implies that information flowed in both directions in a transactional manner. Never before heard the term used to describe “one-sided, manic, belittling, self-aggrandizing, tone-deaf tirade.” Live and learn, I guess.

    Cheap, good quality travel pants?

    Looking for recommendations on good quality, affordable, technical (lightweight, low cotton, high stretch) pants (no zip off legs, please) that will travel well, largely wrinkle free, and can dress up and down depending on pairings. Trying to avoid the cargo pant look. Does such a thing exist, or is it like the old saying: good cheap or fast, pick two?

    Yes please! Do it, Joe!

    One console, one game

    If you could only re-experience from new one game (like total immersion, wide-eyed wonder-at-the-majesty-of-it-all re-experience) and had yet to pick a console (Xbox versus PlayStation), what game on which console and why? (and feel free to remark on ideal controllers, add-ons, etc.)

    I was hoping Starfield might be that kind of galvanizing experience, but the reviews are pretty underwhelming. So now casting about for the real deal.
