why do we keep making pennies?
They make Pennies in the UK. In America, we make Cents. The premise of this topic is an indictment of inflation and the Federal Reserve. Pity more people don't ponder why we the people put up with wealth stealing vacuum machine that is fiat money.

I still see "we buy gold" signs, but they are mostly from pawn shops.

Tulsi Gabbard
Tulsi is not and never was "my girl". Maybe one day you can see a therapist and show him/her where on the doll big, bad bernorange touched you. Your kneejerk reactions to everything I post are kind of sad really.

Tulsi Gabbard
Skimmed through the older posts in this thread since it was bumped. Saw these comments: Back when these comments were made, the neoconservatives were advocating (or trying to influence) foreign policy in the GOP. Now they are besties with the Dems. They really don't care what umbrella they use as long as it rains blood.

Walking around and painting the town
Some random thoughts from my walk this morning: - I don't like curved driveways. Why do some developers insist on curving a driveway when it is possible to pave a straight line? - People who park vehicles on their driveways where the driveway overlaps the sidewalk path - especially when they have unused alternative space on the driveway to park - deserve a special place in hell. Living at the end of a cul-de-sac does not exempt peeps either. - When I was a kid, I could easily spend a day walking around residential home construction sites looking for treasures (soda bottles that could be returned to the store for a few cents, aluminum cans for recycling, etc.). I walked by a lot of residential new home construction this morning and had zero desire to explore any of the floorplans for the homes that were framed and open, but that was mostly because it was dark and I didn't want to risk stepping on a nail or something. - I saw a neighborhood where many of the homes had the same cookie cutter detached garage that looked like a big barn - a two car garage door with a large carport in front of the door. The carport ceiling was the floor for a second story attic/loft that extended back down the length of the garage. It looked like a barn that had half of the first floor side walls cut out to make a carport. The roof was gambrel shaped just like you'd expect on a barn. The ridiculous thing was, the homes that were related to these garages were often single story ranch houses so the garage was taller than the home or they were two story but with typical gable roofs so the garage roof and house roof looked odd right next to each other. - As I entered one of these new subdivisions where most of the homes were still under construction, I saw a realtor's "for sale" sign in a yard for a home that was owned/occupied. That poor bastard must have lived in that house for just a few months. I wonder if there is a problem with the house, or if s/he's got to move because of work/job. Either way, good luck to them selling their slightly used home when prospective homebuyers likely have several homes to choose from with the exact same floorplan that are still under construction and can be finished with their choice of flooring, etc.

Silver is likely going to test $35 (again) today. If it breaks through, it's likely going to run up to at least $40, possibly $50. It seems like the squeeze is finally happening.

SEC assesses Texas penalties for bottle-throwing
Some years ago, Texas fans sat quietly while zebras repeatedly raped student athletes at the behest of conference big wigs so they could send their buddy Grant Teaff off in to the sunset with a win. Sitting quietly and ""enjoying rape" is a losing Clayton Williams strategy. Instead of trying to penalize the fans that were protesting an egregious error, the SEC should be reimbursing them for their lost beverages.

I thought the Dillo Pad rage was over a trailer parked in front of his house, not a car.

SEC officials want to fine Boston because the locals there threw some tea into the harbor a few years ago when they were mad over some tax issue.

Media Bias
That's probably because I have not posited any opinion. This is a DT thread and I'm sharing an evolving story about alleged media bias in the NYT's reporting. YMMV.

That's odd. I logged in with my email address instead of username. Maybe try contacting them for tech support? They have a contact form on this page: https://www.silencio.network/contact

??? You should be able to log in to your old/previous account. Just do a password recovery if you don't remember it. That's what I had to do.

Walking around and painting the town
Was walking before sunrise this morning in a new neighborhood when I spotted some sidewalk chalk writing on a driveway. It was dark so I couldn't initially make out what it said. It caught my eye though, so I stopped to take it in. Written in very fluid cursive (looked like a female's handwriting), the words announced: "OU still sucks!" I laughed.

Lol. If the NSA wants to listen, they dont need me to install an app. Also, Silencio isn't actually saving audio recordings. It's just saving the decibel level data.

Open your phone's settings and go to the list of apps. Click on the Silencio app and there should either be an option to update/upgrade or a button/link to open the app in the Google Play app/store where you will subsequently find an option to update/upgrade the app.
