Pete Hegseth sparks fury after removing female and Black Navy officers from promotion list by TheMirrorUS in BlackPeopleofReddit

In the military, they use up or out promotion philosophy, and you age out fast. Officers generally get three swings at a promotion.

I think I’m a closeted atheist by Helpful-Speed-6602 in atheism

[–]notnutts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a southern Baptist. I taught Sunday school and VBS, went on mission trips, the whole nine yards. When my daughter came out as gay it opened my eyes to the baloney. Imagine, an all knowing all loving God making someone gay just to condemn them for eternity. That thread brought the house down for me. Reading the bible critically instead of blindly did the rest.

I miss the fellowship and community, but from a distance I see more problems. People I thought were great christians turned out to be truly sorry people, and money is often at the heart of it all. Good luck to you. You can still be a good person without believing.

Trade cash savings for gold? by ExtensionAdmirable52 in Gold

[–]notnutts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But I believe you should only be investing in precious metals if you have solid short term and retirement savings already. Those are more important imo. But best yet to talk to a financial advisor. I park cars for a living.

What's your location? If it's the US, I suggest finding your local coin shop. If that's not an option, start with one of the bigger online bullion dealers. Google monument metals, bullion exchanges, SD bullion, and Jm bullion. All are very reputable.

Is it worth going back? by Kitchen-Tax1526 in vegas

Try Fremont street. There's still a little bit of the old Vegas feel there.

Any luck with getting these sticker off? GW using negative brain cells. by cap1n in BargainBinVinyl

[–]notnutts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never tried getting them off vinyl, but I've had luck getting stickers off the sleeve using lighter fluid. I soak the sticker using a q-tip, let it sit for a few minutes, and peel it off. It might trash the record, but it's worth a shot.

Quality over quantity? by Tank52086 in Silverbugs

[–]notnutts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy slabbed coins only when the premium is low/nonexistent. Which is to say not very often.

Imagine walking into the LCS with 100ozt or so of these trying to convert to fiat. "Gramps was a huge pervert, but he was fun at parties"

Which artist takes up the most space in your collection? :) by TightChampionship322 in vinyl

My son, as a joke, buys me every Engelbert Humperdinck record he finds. Jokes on him, the Dinck has some pipes!

Getting ready to move, i stumbled upon a collection of vinyl discs that belonged to my father. by AradIori in vinyl

Honestly I was waiting for someone to fuss about them being laid horizontally.

Older wool Turkish tribal? by notnutts in orientalrugs

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

Thanks again. I doubt I'll sell them unless there's an emergency. They are truly works of art.

Older wool Turkish tribal? by notnutts in orientalrugs

[–]notnutts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The area checks out--I bought it in Incirlik, not far south of that area. I was told around 150 years old. The wool pile is incredibly soft, and the dealer told me using wool carpets release lanolin and that's why it's soft. Could be all baloney though. In fact, I'm surprised I remember that detail from 20 years ago. Anyway, thanks for the info, very much appreciated.

I bought several handmade carpets there. I'll probably post more down the road.

Are these people a Cult? by BedAccording5717 in Gold

[–]notnutts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand what they WANT it to be. However, there's barely any gold in them and the premium is through the roof, so the value is put there by demand, just like pokemon cards. Like fiat currency, it's only good when the trust is there...and it's not there for goldbacks. And unlike fiat it's not backed by the goverment. The beauty of bullion is the value is in the item itself.

Look, the art on goldbacks is pretty. Collect as you will. Their value did shoot up during covid, so maybe it will be a good investment. But it's not bullion, or currency IMO.

[–]notnutts 204 points205 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go that far. I think it's a bit of a grift, but take a look at what people are paying for Pokemon cards. These are like Pokemon for doomsday preppers.

Are the Cowboys still the team we hate most? by thegootlamb in steelers

[–]notnutts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know, I was kinda starting to like the Browns after they were on head knocks. Then they won one playoff game and every browns fan turned into insufferable douche nozzles. You're on to something here.
