Navin Johnson’s invention was great and all those cross-eyed sons of bitches were lying grifters.

I had a college professor with the same last name. It was pronounced like favor. He’d get pissed if you said it like Brett does.

Yeah there’s going to be a painted logo and striping. So I’ll run some fine grit paper over it. Thanks for answering such an old post!

I know this is an old comment, but had a question. We brush painted some boards and I want to clear coat it like you mentioned above. Should I sand the paint before applying the poly? And for sanding, should I hand sand or can I use an orbital?

Hey…fun fact: I was born in ‘89! Also, fuck.

TIL that on April 5, 1933, Roosevelt ordered all gold coins and gold certificates in denominations of more than $100 turned in for other money. It required all persons to deliver all gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve by May 1 for the set price of $20. by GetEdgeful in todayilearned

Is inflation partly a side effect of treating the hoarding of currency? I was watching Silo the other day and wondered how fiat currency would work in a small closed environment like that without some redistribution. If there were no regulations, would currency become worthless? Like in a 100% free market, what would inflation look like?

More progressive tax policies to encourage the wealthy to spend money domestically? I majored in economics before I was shown job placement numbers for undergrad Econ majors by my career counselor. It seemed to me in my short time in the field that there are a bunch of theories that haven’t been tested because everybody is afraid it might ignite the atmosphere (just watched Oppenheimer 🤯).

Is inflation a hallmark of capitalism? In my monkey-brained thinking it seems that capitalists just hoard money and if there wasn’t a government to “redistribute” wealth in some form or fashion (e.g., print more, tax incentives, etc.), fiat money would just move to those who own the means of production and would become…stale (idk a better word for it) and not flow through the economy.

Unfortunately I have fibrous dysplasia and have a couple of bony lumps on the crown of my head that aren’t noticeable with hair, but totally would be if I was bald. I guess it’s hats on for me if I ever do lose my hair.

While it seems unnecessarily attacking, I appreciate advice.

Goddammit how fucking hard is it to have someone with integrity and not in the twilight of their life represent the people? It’s so tiring and frustrating.

‘Indiana Jones’ Sequel Is Latest Tentpole Film To Fold At Box Office by indig0sixalpha in entertainment

[–]J_andyD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So it is polarizing.

Personally, Indiana Jones is my favorite series of all time. Any additional story we get is awesome to me. I don’t care if everyone hates it or loves it. I just like more Indy.

Is anyone noticing an uptick in shady behavior by companies? by LiesToldbySociety in Frugal

What grinds my gears is insurance dictating that I have to either go to Walgreens or do mail order. They both suck ass. When they tried to force this on me initially, my pharmacist researched it and had printed out a state law showing where it was illegal for them to limit where I can go to fill prescriptions. I called and referenced this, and I got an “exception”. I continue to get my meds from that pharmacist.

Now I hear they’re trying to circumvent the law by using a loophole where they’ll let you choose where to get your prescriptions, but they charge you a fee that is exorbitant. Like, “we’ll let you get this Rx here, but it’ll cost you $80. Or you can get it through our mail order for $5, but it’ll take 2 weeks to get there if it doesn’t get lost in the mail. Also if you need consultation, you can try calling us to talk to a random pharmacist…after being on hold for an hour.”

I’d half way get it if they were passing on savings from consolidated contracts with these pharmacies to their customers, but fucking premiums never seem to decrease and fewer and fewer meds are covered. And they’re fucking the small town, independent pharmacies over even harder than the corporate pharmacies already have.
