  1. In inherited a couple of chunks of change jn my early 20s (from my dad and grandad). While it wasn't a huge amount of money, it definitely enabled me to be a career public/government attorney. And that's meant nice amount of PTO, mostly 40 hour work weeks, and general insulation from the usual attorney ennui that affects a lot in my profession. Hell, I bet the lack of stress was very good for my marriage. I am super super thankful for that. I don't let me mom give us money, but she does contribute to the kids 529 accounts. Although tbh my "privilege" is also sheer luck in timing... buying a house in Austin well before the run up - and that luck is probably worth just as much as the smaller amount of law loans and new corolla my dad's pretty 401k got me.
  2. Also, I think I want to become the weird uncle who gives silver coins for christmas to nieces and nephews each year.
  3. Bingo. Fwiw my "money metals exchange monthly savings plan" should ship mid January with 9 or 10 generic buffalos (1 oz). I'll report back if all goes well. Fwiw I got about $420 face junk ($140 dimes and $280 quarters, ~300oz) buried in pvc at the ranch like a normal crazy person. I think I buried it when I built our cabin (before kids when my play money was plentiful) and in the past 15 years it's worth.... pretty close to the same amount. I think I got it at $16oz and at $24, spot discounted for inflation, it is pretty much the same. Lol. That may sound crazy but it's a tiny percent my savings, and even less if you include pension PV. Some of yall probably have 10x or 100x more. But yeah... the spam cans of 7.62x39 has appreciated much more. And of course my vanguard index 2040 is kicking both assets asses (thank god).
  4. We can all agree that if the grid goes down, we tar and feather the governor, right?
  5. This guy is insane: https://mobile.twitter.com/gershkuntzman
  6. I own 51 ac Mills County. Original loan through Mills County State Bank. I forget the interest rate, but I bet it was 400bp higher than a conventional loan (that can more easily be resold and are backed by feds). I don't blame em: if I lost my job and I had to skip a payment, I wouldn't skip my car payment and I wouldn't skip my home loan. And like they said above, market is less liquid. For a few years I got pretty large coop member refunds, so that was nice. Anyway, eventually did a cash out refinance on my main home, because the rate is soooo much better. Cool! I'm up near Mullin. I noticed several developments near Goldthwaite, chopping up bigger spreads into more manageable/sellable small chunks.
  7. Man, a couple small towns east of SA got biblical rain last night.
  8. Even raw land prices in the boonies went way up (TX) last 3 years. Bound to be coming down I would think. Raw land interest rates are astronomical. The only buyers are probably selling from big gains in the city.
  9. A few tens of billions for a strategic reserve (of EHV transformers) is a no brainer.
  10. Fwiw I used to be really into doomer fiction, and sniper attacks on transmission substations is a staple of the genre.
  11. I'm actually headed up tomorrow. I'm on the 183 corridor, south of Brownwood. Hopefully will have some time to dig a bit. A doc had to pull that thing out of my eye all with a tweezers. Instantly felt so much better. Also: https://t.co/kM7IAWfGBO
  12. Teleworking thing my workplace is still sorting out: I think basic etiquette demands a Teams chat "have time to talk?" before the Teams call. But this is not universally observed.
  13. I wonder if it will affect San Soloman (Balmorhea) flow or caused any landslides in Guadalupe Mountains
  14. I'm going to try one of those "put in $X a month" silver bouillon plans. I think free shipping every 3 months. If it proves a scam, no big deal. Not much lost. I've got some junk and some eagles, but not much else. The premiums on eagles is bananas.
  15. I think I'd rather be SBF with his stolen millions in shitcoins, on the run with my nerd harem fuckfests in some shithole country, than Putin, with his stolen billions, but in charge of some shithole country with its shitcoin currency.
  16. From what I have gathered, this the current state of the fuckfest: ● SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried), who is well connected politically, and a notable figure among Effective Altruists. He had said he wanted to take a small chance of massive intergenerational wealth, rather than sure of thing of being conventionally rich. ● he is fucking Caroline, another MIT nerd, who is part of management of FTX/Almeada. It is known she is a Harry Potter fan, and many suspect she writes harem fanfics where fuckfests are common and curly haired genius Hermione gets all the D she wants in bean bag chair filled Slytherin common room. ● allegedly the whole management is a polyamorous polycule (aka a fuckfest), titillating but also further evidence that poly fuckfests are always not who you want to be in a fuckfest with, but also exactly who you expect. ● in a notable bio snipped on the Sequia website, they bragged about how SBF wowed them in an investor meeting, while simultaneously playing League of Legends on his phone. ● SBF often wears new balance sneakers and shorts, and was known to sleep on been bag chairs. One may assume the Bahamas mansion where the polycule had their fuckfests was littered with semen encrusted bean bags. ● last night, after filing Ch 11, it appears FTX was either hacked or an insider was cashing out. Rugging. Said potential insiders have recently fled to South America, possibly Uruguay, where fuckfests may continue without extradition.
  17. Are these fucking polycule nerds rugging FTX in real time right now? From their semen encrusted bean bag chairs, moving funds to new wallets. DISGUSTING. Ganking little kids in League of Legends. Ganking south American shit holes and Sequoia Capital from their Bamahan manions. SNF fucking MIT nerd shit holes and Sequoia Capital while high on crushed Adderall. DAMMIT.
  18. My YouTube zen is Jim Baird canoe videos. I dont think he has committed any horrible crimes - he's Canadian.
  19. I am the only one slightly less likely to buy a Tesla or do Tesla home battery/solar because Elon is a douche?
  20. A couple of ranch finds
  21. I was there for the demise of Friendster and MySpace and HornFans. Just let me know where to go next. Is it Mastadon?
  22. Point of order: they were Uncrustables.
