Ah, thanks. I didn’t want to filter it on my end because I might need those alerts someday.

I feel like this thread covers everything but Putin.

Me, too.

Hey, those fractional coins seem to have a purpose now.

It wouldn’t be a boglerdude post if there weren’t something about vaxxes and/or masks

@Xan, how do I make these Linode alert emails stop Or not stop, but can I reduce them to once a week?

Yes he does indeed At least he hasn’t started any new forever wars.

Putin hasn't had to impose conscription, much of the numbers were first from emptying prisons along with mercenaries, then others recruited as mercenaries from Africa/etc. and then some from N Korea. That’s the official line, but this report from last April (yeah, I know, CNN) is one source saying ...

I recently found out that my cat is in the Epstein files.
Devastated.

I saw two news items recently:

(1) Zelensky says they’re killing Russians faster than they can be recruited.
(2) Russians are still making headway, just from the sheer number of soldiers.

Heard a third on the radio:

(3) Ukrainian solders on the front lines are freezing their sperm, just in case.

frugal, there’s no asset that you should add. You add what you want. It’s money that you can afford to lose.
Anything I buy that is not a pp asset, I consider part of the Vp. Individual stocks, silver coins.

Well, this is Vp

I saw him on Fox Biz yesterday and he seemed ok, but…I’m still afraid to buy in, even though I love the concept of using it as a medium of exchange.

Interesting. This reminds me of an essay by… I can’t remember the name. It’s a website run by a very smart guy who uses a king from a deck of cards as the logo. You’ve probably read something by him. I’ll find it eventually and edit it in here. EDIT: Found it, or somewhat ironically, AI found it. Al...

But is he still alive?

It’s probably just a headline.
Vinny tends to paste those without making it explicit that someone else wrote it.
Still, there is a link (which I have not clicked).

Thank you, CJ

I thought the whole urine in jars thing was just a Vinny quirk. But Google Gemini confirms it's a great way to tend to your plants and garden. It comes from the frugal mindset.
