  1. Yeah that's what they said - the in demand physical deliveries are the 100 oz and 1,000 oz bars and the refiners are backed up so they're not taking physical delivery of anything until they clear up their inventory. Kinda wild.
  2. humble brag
  3. Hosed, that's what I got. I sold some 90% for $30 per dollar of face value. They only offered $47 / oz for my silver rounds so I declined. Spot was at $52 but they said they had to go off the futures price of $50 and that the refiners weren't taking any lower denominations right now because they were backed up so so there was a 6% discount on top of that. Need to see if there's another place in Austin that'll pay off spot without a 10% discount.
  4. I'm selling my silver today.
  5. Agreed. When I played a long time ago the float was much harder to pass than a topspin. One thing I did with my float serves I found effective was holding the ball in my left hand with the inflation hole facing the opponent and tossing the ball with zero spin so the valve still faces the opponent after I hit it. Hit the serve with a short fast swing with minimal follow through. The ball should fly without much spin and as it travels forward the weight of the inflation valve rotates downward causing the ball to sink.
  6. It'll be so dry you won't even need a tent. Unless you camp way east of here. Then you'll get poured on while the rest of us continue watching our grass die.
  7. We've called and reserved before for a big birthday group but we had over 20.
  8. Louisiana longhorn in downtown round rock for your Cajun needs.
  9. AIAN? American Indigenous...? I need a key for the key.
  10. stay in your lane. brodie lane.
  11. Oh yes, the earl Thomas game.
  12. That's the one we were down double digits midway through the fourth?
  13. Is that you second from the right? Colors not quite right but I like the shirt. Where's it from?
  14. He completely whiffed on Weims one play that got Arch popped after a throw. Towards the start of the third quarter. Yup. I'd also include Billy Pittman's TD from VY in 05.
  15. I don't know if they are or not, I don't have any knowledge one way or the other. Anecdotally, my wife's sister married into a French family - her father-in-law is a retired cardiologist and the past couple of times we've seen him he was vocal with his frustration about the haves (who have access to private health insurance) increasingly taking up the majority of his availability and crowding the have nots out.
  16. I don't know much about their system in terms of care, but I do know the French have their own problems with public and private funding not unlike our system.
  17. I don't know what your experience is with medicine here and medicine abroad but that statement is the complete opposite of my experience and the experiences of my family members. And I'm one of the lucky ones - I'm English but have dual American citizenship. So I have NHS when we go back and am also covered by our BCBS PPO plan. I was diagnosed with a rare disease 15 years ago that's seen me land in more doctors' offices than I care to remember, both here and abroad. The pathway to seeing a specialist here is simpler and so much faster than seeing a specialist in the UK. I would chalk it up to me having good luck here and bad luck there, but my family (who all still live in the UK) have worse stories about long wait times, convoluted processes, and inferior medical care. My BIL died under the knife during an outpatient surgery in London. You can talk about the role insurance plays here but when it comes to actual care there's no better place in the world to be sick.
  18. Why's that a bad thing?
  19. I'd guess the overwhelming majority of their business is takeout.
  20. I ended up selling gold instead. Will watch what silver does and sell if it doesn't break out. Hopefully gold will pull back and I'll get a chance to buy back.
  21. Thinking of selling private mint silver rounds and 90% coins. What would be a good price for them? And what's the best value if I were to roll them to gold? Eagles, Krugerrands? Maple leafs?
  22. That sounds like a terrible experience. Where were you headed?
  23. Interesting. Hasn't been my experience.
