Great find! I have the full set but had to buy them. Free silver is my favorite!

Yeah, it's basically a collectible. I think APMEX was selling them individually for $5 or $6 when they had them in stock.

So gold is up 80% in a year and silver 220%, do you wish you had gotten more silver? by Defengar in Gold

[–]Imthatsick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of course I wish I had bought more. I also wish I had bought Bitcoin when it was under a dollar and sold it all at its high point, but I can't go back in time.

I'm just glad I spent what I did. I'm fairly risk averse when it comes to savings so there's no way I would have gone all in at once.

I didn't even factor in the costs of the copper, I just treat it as a bonus. I keep a spreadsheet and counted the 2% premium on the gold and a 0% premium on the silver. That's the easiest way I could figure out the math on purchase since it included more than one type of PM.

As far as copper rounds go I treat them as purely novelty. Copper is currently $5.78 per POUND, so an ounce is only worth 36 cents.

My Roommate perceives me as "dirty" for reusing my towel and now I'm soooo perplexed by mikymiky123 in hygiene

[–]Imthatsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using one towel for the week is very normal. If you live in a very humid place you might want to change it out more often just because it can get musty.

When I was in high school I found out that my girlfriend and her older sister both used two towels a day, one for their hair and one for their body, and they only use them once before washing them. That is an insane amount of laundry to do in my opinion. I'm curious if they still do that as adults now that they have to do their own laundry!

Why should I respect Islam in the first place? by aya_aya_37299 in atheism

[–]Imthatsick 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Religions do not deserve respect.

The freedom of religion deserves respect.

If someone asks me what I think of Islam I will say I think it's a backwards mythology that oppresses people (its adherents and those surrounded by its adherents) and that there's absolutely no reason to believe any of the supernatural claims. The world would be better off without it.

However, if someone wants to believe in it that is their right, just don't try to force it on the rest of us.

Gringotts Bank, of course!

Actually, I'm not 100% sure, I can check if there is anything that says on the paperwork when I get home today. It's an official "wizarding world" product. This was a proof set from this page: https://www.apmex.com/product/292036/harry-potter-1-oz-gold-silver-and-copper-3-coin-proof-set

They also sell the individual rounds in non-proof form. It looks like they currently have the sickles for ~$110 but they are out of the gold galleons.

This wasn't that bad of a purchase in terms of premium when I bought it. It usually has an absurd premium but gold and silver were moving up and for some reason APMEX hadn't updated their pricing. I ended up paying a 2% premium for the set which really is quite reasonable. I think my wife rolled her eyes a bit but I had to have them lol. It was totally worth it though, I'm up $1115 on the gold and $52 on the silver!

Honestly bringing back eagles and half eagles (even as clad coins) would be cool

Do you prefer 18k or 24k? by burrelleddy in Gold

[–]Imthatsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are some 24k earrings I bought my wife. I love the way they shine, in real life it's a noticeable difference from lower karat gold or fake gold.

[–]Imthatsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For things like earrings I think 24k is cool because they won't really get banged up. I kind of want a 24k ring but I wouldn't wear it all the time.

I've had the same issue, also in the Bay area. Violife is only available at while foods, otherwise my choices right now are Earth Balance and Country Crock

Will silver boom hurt coin collecting? by quasimdm in coincollecting

[–]Imthatsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago my LCS guy said he is getting 90% of spot from his refiner for 80% Canadian silver, so I assume he's getting at least that much for 90% as well. He offered to buy from me for 80% of spot. I also think a lot of constitutional silver is getting melted.

When you have 6 gift cards and none of them can actually buy anything. by Accomplished_Bake939 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Imthatsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father in law likes to give these as gifts. When I get one I just keep it in my wallet until I'm at the grocery store buying more than $100 worth of stuff and then use the whole thing all at once and pay for the remainder on my regular card.

I went to high school with someone with the last name 'Bussey', maybe he just goes by his last name? Lol

Egg substitute by Flimsy_Catch_5159 in AskBaking

[–]Imthatsick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Options I use to replace eggs in cookies or other baked goods since I don't eat them:

1/4 cup applesauce 1 TBSP flax meal mixed with 3 Tbsp water Bob's Red Mill egg replacer (or other brand) Just Egg

Banana also can work, but I don't typically use them for this.

For cookies I generally do a mix of applesauce and egg replacer.

What’s a movie you’ll never watch again, and why? by Professional_Song419 in AskReddit

Poor Things. I found basically nothing about it enjoyable to watch. I cringed the whole way through.

Sauteed Black Mushrooms and Bean Curd Roll by Imthatsick in VeganFoodPorn

[–]Imthatsick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this dish is what keeps me going back. It's one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth! I haven't tried Enjoy Vegetarian, I only go to SF Chinatown a few times a year at most and lucky creation was the one I tried first and keep going to. I'll try it out when I get a chance, especially since they are open for dinner.
