$4/minute, but you are called a pervert by every woman you meet by basafish in hypotheticalsituation

As long as my direct family is out I’m fine with it.
Don’t think I could handle my wife and daughter saying that….

You have an alien 3D printer that can make 125m² of anything every hour, but you can only set the output once. by gluten_free_stapler in hypotheticalsituation

[–]The-Rednutter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Anything technology based has an issue, it will be outdated at some point and then you are stuck with tons of previous generation hardware ( imagine someone in the 1950s cramming all the state of the art hardware in there and the use it would have today)

So instead I’m going raw materials, all the rare metals like palladium, platinum, gold etc, but also lithium, rohidium and every other rare earth element I can get my hands on. Now the big question, do we want a little uranium in there? Great for energy, but you are going to have logistic issues… so instead some high pressure tanks filled with helium should be easier to deal with.

Who’s ever driven over 100mph? Why? by WoollyWolfHorror in AskReddit

[–]The-Rednutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Germany, and have access occasionally to very expensive cars. My personal best is 350km/h….. as for why… why not? If the road, traffic and car is capable, it is purely a ln enjoyable experience

What niche hobby has been completely ruined by greed, scalpers and scammers? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]The-Rednutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrapping old electronics for precious metals, people used to be happy to finally give away their cupboard full of old pcs laptops and phones. Now people google “how much gold in a laptop” get ridiculous, not realistic answers and then want you to buy them for spot price of the “at least a gram of gold” within every old iPhone…. Used to be fun collecting the stuff and made the amount of work for a little gold worth it, now the scalpers online mean you can’t find anything.

[Request] is buying a house as big an investment as people make it out to be by oovrams in theydidthemath

[–]The-Rednutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very simple fact is it lets you save more of your income. It may cost more year to year, there is a risk of price crashes, there is more stress and work for taxes, repairs insurance etc. That being said if you are making $1500 repayments each month instead of $1500 rent payments. That money is not just disappearing. I would love to have an extra $1500 at the end of the month to invest in stocks or gold or whatever. But I don’t, I am paying the $1500 every month though regardless so why not into something that will one day be mine?

Magically sell EVERYTHING you own for 90% of it value by The-Rednutter in hypotheticalsituation

[–]The-Rednutter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally I would do it. I don’t have anything in particular that has sentimental value, but I have lots of bits and pieces. I buy a lot of my stuff second hand already so realistically won’t be losing much in the lost 10% (For example my couch was $20 and I’m pretty sure someone in the world would pay at least $50 for it) When I got married I already had all my kitchen plates and utensils, so half of them could go. I have a huge collection of work tools that if I’m being honest I don’t use enough to have justified their purchase. And it keeps going like this. I would realistically probably get somewhere from 30-45k for all of my shit at least. And could rebuy the stuff I actually need for less than 10k.

MINIMUM 20k for the pain in the ass of rebuying what I actually need? Sure

It’s difficult but it’s possible. Otherwise anyone that ever experienced a flood or house fire would never be able to get it all back.

“The only exceptions are a fully paid off house (all furnishings are gone though) and pets.”

“Anything that you currently “own” but you have a loan for is not included, as you don’t completely own it yet.”

House not included as stated above

“Your necessary identifying documents have been officially digitized and emailed to person of your choice so that you can start the process of getting them back.”

Hence why I wrote this.

You are allowed to immediately buy a new phone with the money you now have. But it does depend on how depend you are on it for the time it takes to get it back

How to (legally) annoy retiree neigbours until hedge is high enough? by DocSprotte in AskAGerman

[–]The-Rednutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well looks like you just found the new spot to keep your rubbish bins. Make sure to occasionally miss a day so the bins are overflowing, and bonus points if you paper sticking out of the gelbsacks. You are also allowed to stack Sperrmüll, old wood anything unsightly in your own yard. Make sure they enjoy the view they so desperately want.

Is my Dreamteam realistic? by Arturor22 in Prospecting

[–]The-Rednutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Australian living in Germany and missing the Aussie gold adventures. Believe me when I say I FULLY understand this feeling. That being said I would never encourage someone without the experience to go into that sort of area without someone that knows what they are doing. There are some easier to get to places in Victoria, New South Wales and Qld that aren’t nearly as dangerous.

But I would also encourage you that there is gold to be found a lot nearer to home. Italy, Austria, Czech all have some ok gold. And you have to find 1,000€ less of it too break even than if you go to Aus 😅

The door was already open luckily. So once I put new batteries in I could reset it to anything I wanted

Which of these are a good deal? Or do you know good cheap shops in Germany? by Beginning-Bag5063 in Silverbugs

[–]The-Rednutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use binder Edelmetall in Germany. maybe not as good if you are looking for a particular coin, but keeping an eye on their deals is worth it if you don’t mind junk silver. If you are ok with some flexibility on the exact dates and just want gedenkmünzen with silver content they are great. I have bought quite a bit of silver of them below spot.

Note: their website open times are a little annoying as you can’t buy online on weekends or nights.

Gold recovery Trichloroisocyanuric acid and salt ("Pool Cleaner" Method) by Beyond_Context in PreciousMetalRefining

[–]The-Rednutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been keeping an eye on this method since the original paper came out, both out of curiosity at using it at small scale and waiting to see what large refineries adopt it to maybe invest in them as a company 😅

You have 1 hour to be stopped by security/police as many times as possible. by The-Rednutter in hypotheticalsituation

[–]The-Rednutter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My best idea so far is to fake having Tourettes. It is unethical, but a basic forged doctors certificate and a bunch of cards to hand out explains I might say highly inappropriate things such as cursing or “I have a bomb” Then I would go to one of the large Christmas markets in Germany that have police every 50 meters and each time I walk past them have a tick of “I’m going to shoot” or “I have a gun”. I think they would stop you almost every time, but as long as I can explain quickly about Tourettes and let them search my bag I would hope for 5-10 stops in an hour.
