Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

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.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

I saw two news items recently:

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.

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...

Re: The GOLD scream room

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).

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.
