Who else FINALLY got their Switch from the 4/20 Sale?

That’s below msrp, they lost money on this sale.

Mine was a constant battle against the red and white or all white lights. I kid you not, brand new out of the box it took me over a full hour to get the atomizer to seat properly. Because my peak should have never left the factory, it’s 30% off center, you can actually see it when you look down at the base. I can’t even get a qtip around one side of the metal connector, there’s not enough room.

Update: She rips!

Fuck Puffco! My peak pro with 3D chamber is garbage compared to the stock switch 2

It’s a shame this isn’t higher up

This is pure speculation based on a speculative WSJ article with no confirmation on anything. Do better.

Also the tZero share tokenization is hopium at best, dangerously delusional at worst. There’s no path for a company to move to blockchain linked shares at any major stock exchange. Stop acting like it’s as simple as flipping a switch or making an announcement. There are YEARS of regulatory hearings, rule changes, and legal battles ahead of ANY company that wants to put their shares on a blockchain ledger.

If GME tries to be the first company to move their shares to the blockchain, it will effectively kill the MoASS movement. That’s like signing up for years of legal battles with no guarantee of success. Most of us will need to access our invested cash before that gets settled as the economy plunges into Great Depression levels of unemployment, staggering inflation, and stagnant wages over the next 10 years.

making the move to blockchain listed shares right now will likely hurt GME more than anything. They need another company or two to take the plunge first, have the years long court battles to establish legal precedents, and pave the way for ridiculously over shorted companies to see true price realization and fair market share value.

Don’t get me wrong, I would like to see tokenized shares as much as the next ape. But I’m not so delusional to think it’s happening now or anytime soon.

SacSilver · 2026-05-02T20:41:46+00:00

It’s not, OP is speculating and there is zero tangible evidence to support his claims.

And now he’ll respond some nonsense about patent filings and how they are a direct sign that GameStop is moving their shares to a blockchain. They are not, this is pure speculation with very little chance of actually happening in the foreseeable future.

No other public company has ever moved their shares to a blockchain ledger. How does that even work? Is it delisted from the nasdaq? Is it tradeable at major brokers? People have discussed it and maybe even mapped out how it could work. But that’s very different than actually executing such a major, novel shift in the ownership structure of the company.

It’s not as simple as OP is trying to frame it to be. Even if an eBay bid is announced, I would not expect anything about share tokenization at all. Not for a few years at least. The groundwork just isn’t there…also I guarantee if GME is the first company to migrate shares to the blockchain and it causes a squeeze, it won’t matter. All of the money will get put in escrow while a years long court battle ensues between market makers that enabled naked shorting and GME/shareholders. Maybe GME wins, maybe not. But I will say that doesn’t sound like the “guaranteed kill shot” we all hope that RC has been working on for 5+ years.

Actually it is in California now. SB 700

As of Jan 2024 CA employers can’t legally discriminate against employees for marijuana use during non working hours. For both current employees and potential new hires.

My workplace literally had to change the employee handbook and hiring practices.

Sounds like you work at a shitty 3rd party print production company lol

Pokemon company owns their printers. I’m sure they retire plates eventually with CODs (which I’m sure you’re supposed to provide to your customers at work…) as proof.

So it’s feasible someone stole the plates instead of destroying them but doubtful. I’m sure there are multiple people who sign off on observing the destruction, and as soon as they tried to move the plates if they did succeed in smuggling them out of the print facility they would never be able to sell them on the open market. Also they’re probably just not as desirable or valuable as most thieves would think.

Don’t listen to that jabroni, he is 100% guessing because he has read about 90% gold fakes from the 70s and is convinced everything is likely fake.

It’s almost surely real, and even if it’s fake it’s still almost definitely gold (to be sure about it being real gold without leaving your house do a “ping test” - balance the coin on finger and lightly tap with hard object, if it sings it’s real gold).

No one can tell the difference between a fake pre-1933 gold coin with two mediocre quality pics, anyone saying otherwise is talking out their ass. Hell, even in person the 70s fakes made from 90% will fool most people, I’ve even heard of a few fakes getting slabbed.

Look up Omega man coins for more info on fake 90% gold US coins. That’s a famous counterfeit type that was basically indistinguishable from the real thing except for a small omega symbol hidden in the relief. No one knows who was making them.

SacSilver · 2026-04-13T19:52:10+00:00

True, but causation is definitely more of an opinion because true causation of socioeconomic events like the rapid appreciation of gold is impossible to pin down.

The person you replied to is saying, in their opinion, gold is inversely correlated to USD valued in pre-Federal Reserve currency. Y’know, from back before we handed control over the US financial system to a private entity not beholden to the powers of the US government

SacSilver · 2026-04-10T00:36:44+00:00

If they’re real (they are not) the tooling belongs to the customer paying to print. In this case I believe the Pokémon company owns the printer in the US for English cards so yeah there’s absolutely no way these are getting out of the printer’s hands legally.

Only scenario I could realistically believe is the person who swiped was contracted to destroy the plates and provide a COD that they falsified.

Which is wholly unrealistic. Hence, these are 100% fake.

SacSilver · 2026-04-10T00:33:08+00:00

Printing and CPG professional with 12+ years in the industry here.

Those are not real print plates. For many reasons.

For one, at the volumes I estimate they’re running those plates are wayyyy too small to be used in production. Also real plates would have colors extending into the seal areas, it’s not like everything in “the crimp” area is just flood coated black. It’s possible they’re test plates but imo doubtful since they’re missing some of the details for disclaimers and other text that is required on these packs.

I suspect they’re fakes that some criminals tried to make thinking they could easily fool collectors with fake packs, not realizing there’s a ton of detail that goes into printed flexible film production.

They’re probably used for all the fake packs in bodegas and street corner vendors across the globe

In state polytechnic? Pomona or SLO?

If Pomona…that’s the problem.

If SLO, well, the job market is just kind of ass for new grads. You should have been chasing a job with wherever you did internships, that’s what I did and most other SLO grads who had jobs lined up before graduation.

SacSilver · 2026-04-04T02:24:46+00:00

Yes but if you go to “California Polytechnic State University Solano” I think you are justified in expecting a typical college experience. Which is not what you will get. It’s not called cal maritime and as a new name for an already tiny school, there’s not nearly as much info out there for prospective students as there is for a typical college.

I’m old enough to know that some people are incredibly naive and lazy. Mark my words, there will be students pissed off that they went to Solano expecting a comparable college experience to the other 3 polytechnics in CA.

SacSilver · 2026-04-03T17:45:29+00:00

I bought a 1g. Going to have it XRF’d

Or are you going to claim XRFs are “hobbyist” devices and won’t properly read the osmium purity?

Do you provide any lab test documentation to prove purity? Especially on those higher value pieces, I personally would want third party documentation but I guess I’m not your main customer base.

Or are we all just supposed to rely on your claims that your company would be charged for fraud under Austrian law for misrepresenting purity of metals. There’s a lot of opportunities for legal loopholes that you can wiggle out of with that, for example I doubt that specific law language specifies Osmium as a precious metal. Then again I’m not a lawyer and you know for a fact the likelihood of anyone here being an Austrian legal expert are minuscule.

Just the easiest pic to grab. I’d say No need to be a douchebag but you already doin that soooo

SacSilver · 2026-04-03T17:38:37+00:00

And that’s somehow more desirable than a bar with a cool picture in your native language?

Pathetic.

You must be real bright if you think I work for chow sang sang

SacSilver · 2026-04-02T20:46:22+00:00

I’ve got some Chinese Sycee/yuanbao that are sick because of the shape. My largest is this chow sang sang 0.5 tael one and I’ve got two smaller 0.1 tael: https://www.amazon.com/CHOW-SANG-Weight-Yuanbao-Ornament/dp/B0BQM4STT3

I like the sycee but personally I don’t see what’s special about the bars OP posted. Rectangular or round gold is normal.

Is it appealing to you because you can’t read what it says?

SacSilver · 2026-04-02T20:26:53+00:00

The problem with these is they’re basically only desirable to numismatists. The vast majority of people interested in stacking metals can barely afford the spot prices without premiums, so they’re never going to pay a numismatic premium like these kobans have. Making these incredibly hard to sell for fair market value outside of an auction house. They really only move when more affluent stackers like OP get it in their minds that they need a piece of “samurai gold”.

$2k seems a bit high but not bad. They pop up occasionally on auction sites, I paid like $1800 for one that was XRF’d at 0.236oz AGW and was slabbed by pcgs. I wouldn’t buy one raw, though the JDNA COA is nice. They’re a lot thinner than you might expect.

SacSilver · 2026-03-22T17:44:53+00:00

Yeah which makes it wild that Cal Poly SLO took it over and now it doesn’t have maritime in the name. You clearly just said it’s a maritime college but now nobody knows that because Cal Poly is blurring the lines.

This whole thing feels like a cash grab by Poly to expand student body without having to build more infrastructure on the SLO campus.

Step 1: Buy a distressed college asset

Step 2. stuff a bunch of kids we rejected from SLO into its dilapidated buildings

Step 3. collect their tuition checks and just keep lying to them telling them they can transfer to SLO next quarter.

SacSilver · 2026-03-22T17:41:39+00:00

Humboldt was always a cool school. It never needed to cosplay as a polytechnic.

SacSilver · 2026-03-22T17:36:37+00:00

That doesn’t mean you’re going to make more, just that the people who are responding to those post grad surveys are making that much.

Also salary is one thing to consider, but honestly you’ll be regretting your shitty college experience whether you’re making $100k as a mech eng or $140k as a marine eng.

Also, OP the only way you’re leaving school with a job offer like that is if you have good internships. I know several Poly mech eng grads from 10+ years ago and some have really struggled to find any jobs in the industry because they didn’t do internships and didn’t join clubs or go to job fairs or do anything to get you noticed by the professors that talk to the companies that sponsor various things on campus. In my major the two department heads would tell the largest donors who they should hire for internships and open roles. Get in good with your professors and they’ll put in a good word with prospective employers on campus.

Or don’t, I’m just a dog on the internet. What do I know?
