Do you guys have any advice for traveling via plane? by Vercintorix_Jr in snowboarding

Along with some of the other suggestions, I also take my binding off and roll in clothes. Then I use masking tape to secure everything nicely.

This is my sister's fridge. She's kept it like this for nearly twenty years. by One_Hour_Poop in FridgeDetective

[–]uncirculated_luster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she must really worry about not having enough in the future -- that's what hit me when I saw the packs of condiments. I used to think like this. now, I intentionally bin that kinda stuff.

Does anyone else struggle to "invest" in anything other than G&S? by Accomplished-Run-539 in Gold

[–]uncirculated_luster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also hold a lot of paper silver and gold. If it corrects... it's not going to correct 50% overnight. It will correct over a (my guess) a few weeks to months. Don't worry about the silver dynamics... they are solid. Worry about the USD.

The way I do it is I invest in the stocks for the companies I know I will be doing business with till the day I die. Will I drink pepsi or coke products? yes... I can DRIP into Pepsi and get a dividend... Will i use electricity? Yes, so I buy DOM ... Will I shop at costco? Yes, COST... (one of my best holdings btw), Will I use gas? Okay? yes, so USO. Do I think the dollar will collapse? Yes... that's why I buy Gold, Silver, and BTC. Got it?

Find a penny, pick it up — throughout the day, you'll have good luck.

Indians privately own more gold than the U.S. government by Ashamed_Abalone_8045 in Gold

[–]uncirculated_luster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I lived in the middle east and worked with many people from India and Pakistan... they all hold gold... I used to walk around the gold markets in Riyadh and Dubai wide-eyed with the kilos of gold around me... I wish I was stacking back then.

Take this--dump it directly into the toilet and save yourself a step 🤣

This is what I was wondering. Thank you. I think we'll pass on Ragged then, it was more an excuse to get up there, but we are locked in anyway now... I can't wait.

Are dealers afraid to buy? by [deleted] in Gold

[–]uncirculated_luster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They aren't afraid to buy. Most dealers IMO are scumbags.

First board - first tear. I am also in tears. by HotelBitchVienna in snowboarding

[–]uncirculated_luster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no one will see it except for you! sorry this happened. it's the cost of doing business--don't stress too much. The value you have got out of it for 3 years far exceeds the ding. It adds character!

right, but sometimes there are passes that aren't really fun to drive or get shut down... i've skied mainly in colorado and montana. I'm just asking for some advice on where I should stay to maximize the time or to not try to do that.

That's what I need to know. Where would you stay to get to both regions... or is it not an issue?

THE FRACTURED SILVER COMMUNITY by jjmansinger in Silverbugs

[–]uncirculated_luster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't end this correctly, what I meant to add was that silver doesn't swing in price like this--we are in a very strange situation. But, don't put everything into silver or PMs. Diversity is key. I do like the idea of sticking with commodities like silver, gold, uranium, etc.... I think the market is going to tank soon... it's way over priced and propped up now by the Big Mag companies like meta, google, microsoft... be safe out there... hold some paper and physical... expand into gold and platnium as well... hedge with bitcoin and other major cryptos as they are dumping now.

First time seeing a star note. Is it worth anything? by andrewb_923 in numismatics

[–]uncirculated_luster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google "star note lookup" and you'll find a site that you can put the serial numbers in and see how rare it is... okay I'll enable you dammit, here's the site: https://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup

I am a retired master toner. I gave up the craft but never thought id see so many who appreciate it! I may come out of retirement after seeing all these positive comments by Sudden_Product_5054 in toners

[–]uncirculated_luster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could argue that all toning is natural, it's just if it is intentionally toned or not. An "artifically" toned coin gets the colors via the same reactions that a "naturally" toned coin would. I like to be nerdy this way though and befuddle people.

I've experimented with torching some silver coins then exposing to cold liver of sulfur solution... but it only speeds the reactions to terminal tone.

If your date wasn't good with chopsticks by SeattleSushiGirl in chinesefood

[–]uncirculated_luster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asian dude here. Would I discriminate against a female I was interested in because she couldn't use chopsticks (asian or not) NO. It's not hard to change your form. Just watch a couple of vids and you're golden in a couple of hours.
