Greetings and Salutations!
Well I hope people are pleased with the beginning of the Library. I haven’t even really gotten a full grip on just -how much shit- I’ve accumulated/stored over the past few years.
Crawling through 4tb of ‘stuff’ is a bit of a slog
Especially when I have to do it bit-by bit …
Or would that be ‘byte by byte’?
Gah! John Wilder levels of humor?
I must be losing it.
Either way, the Smoke recibees are now non-password locked. I completely forgot about that. My bad. All the rest -should- be good. I mean hey… One oops out of how much so far? Not a bad track record FWIW IMO.
Now…the Tactical Hermit put it up on his place, and used and sent me a magnificent logo that I’m going to use myself as the root on the shoulder of this place. It too is a work-in-progress, so please bear that in mind. I’m no code-monkey by far and it takes me a while to figure a LOT of this stuff out.
Other mindful/needful things… hmmn
Silver has broken loose, and looks like it’s going to STAY above the $95 marker for now. There are soooo many things that’re adding to the fun, but one thing I can say is that -I- have no idea what the end game is going to be. I have stated before that holding onto your Silver is a great idea BUT it becomes a question of ‘when’ does one try for the exit(s)?
Many folks keep talking about how precious metals are a ‘safe parking spot’ for your ‘wealth’… While I agree, the issue is that this means one has enough wealth to be able to store some of said-wealth in PMs. Meaning you have enough dough to be ABLE to ‘park’ your $$$ in a metal that literally does nothing UNLESS you sell/barter/trade said precious metal.
Which means you still have enough $$$ to keep doing the ‘day-to-day’ purchases, like groceries/gas/goodies… the ‘usual’ so to speak.
Most of us normies don’t have enough $$$ to do these things.
Hell… the little I do have has been bought over a number of decades one lil bar/coin/oz at a time…or gifted to me by some of you awesome folks… and even then, SOME of those purchases meant that it’d be Ramen for a week until the next paycheck comes in as opposed to NY Strip. Looking back now, I realize I did the right thing.
Now it’s all about the timing.
Because as I stated before, it’s when you leave the party that counts. Personally, I’d prefer to hit the exit BEFORE either the “cops pull a raid on the the “party” which in this case it’d be a nationalization like that Gottverdammt piece of shit Roosevelt did OR the “house” collapses under its own rotten weight, meaning a full on economic collapse.
Because I’d suuuure like to reinvest the fiatbux into something a bit more practical… like the previously mentioned M-249S OR another toy I found again which is actually a wee bit on the inexpensive side (compared to a Semiauto SAW):

They run about $6500 +/- IF they’re in stock.
The Semiauto SAW? The M-249S Model?
$15k IF you can find it as well…
Now…
Granted…
I would positively love a SAW. That was my primary weapon in the DotMil. I was always a Machine-gunner, be it on the M-60 or the M-249. TBH, I’m sort of glad I got out before the M-240 came out… Don’t get me wrong… it’s a fantastic weapon, especially in its original configuration, meaning with the wood buttstock.
See, part of the requirement for the adoption of the FN-MAG was that the stocks had to be chemical proof as in NCB proof. Hence the plastic stock. Wood unfortunately can absorb a lot of bad things even if it has a nice finish on it. Because of this, the M-240 suffers from some serious nose-heaviness, so badly that I am NOT a fan of it.
In general I personally think they need to go back to the venerable M-60… the new-new version that some companies have made utilizing ALL the new-tech metallurgy and ¡SCIENCE! that went into the ‘new builds’ I mean there’s plenty of YouTube vids of guys hammering away, 10,000… 20,000 rounds non-friggin’-stop on one of those new M-60s… without a SINGLE malfunction nor barrel overheat/meltdown.
Seems it’s the M-60E6
Bullet Hose INDEED!
In fact if I were to ever be in the enviable position of having “Fuck You Money” I could easily see myself owning two or a dozen of those bad bois.
And on that note…
MUSIC BREAK!
I found this bit of weirdness for you all:
OK…
Wild shit.
Personally I get a kick out of the old guy at 3:11… just jammin’ his socks off… I mean wow… crazy right?
Russian and Eastern Euro musical performances are just soooo off the wall… as I’ve posted about before, there’s that weird dude Vitas:
Seems he was BIG-BIG in Russia for quite a while… his star has faded a bit, but he still DID do a set with Snoop Dog live at one point, so you have to hand it to him… his weird falsetto voice is wild too… there’s a video of him at home on his farm where he does that strange ‘trilling’ noise at his Turkeys of all things, and they responded to him…
Cracked me the fuck up.
The other one that leaps to mind is Winny Puhh which is an Estonian metal/punk group….
Waitaminute…
Estonia!?!
What the actual fuck?
Yeah… that’s from the 2013 Eurovision Music Competition.
They look like a deranged Wookie Wrestling Team or something… key words “…or something.“
I figured we could use us a laugh or three, as such things being so utterly weird and fucked in general.
The only thing NOT completely hosed is the price of silver, which is headed to $100 (despite all ETF attempts to the contrary)… seems the financial house of cards is teetering and Joe Sixpack is starting to finally wake up. I mean if the prices at the grocery store don’t tell the tale, then I have no idea what’s going to wake up people…
Sapper just spent $150 on what essentially is a week worth of chow for the two of us. And we had $66 in ‘freebies’ in that we got a bunch of BOGOs… we even limited some of the ‘stuff’ we got b/c the prices were just too damned high, and I guess we’ll make do until either some of these things go on sale, OR I get some side-hustle $$$ in… the ad revenue for the Goolag for this place -should- be in in a day or two, provided I broke the $100 limit.
Traffic as of late (per the ad revenue) has been sooooo low as opposed to the good ole days. Shadowbanning IS a real issue, ever since I got ID’d as a ‘noticer’… Thankfully I don’t rely this ‘stuff’ as a sole income.. I can see why some folks completely become unhinged if and when they “catch a case” so to speak from the Goolag Eye-of-Sauron. I mean long ago, in a land far, far away my ad revenue was around $300-400 a month.
Now? I’m lucky to hit $100…
And yet according to the ‘stats’ I can see, and the reason I’m sure there is fuckery afoot, is that I’m STILL getting around the same number of hits I used to back when it was the Days of Wine and Roses. It’s that the income has fallen off a cliff…
Meh… Goolag Fuckery at its Finest.
What else can I say?
At least I occasionally share some stuff with y’all on the ‘Zon and get a ‘taste’ if you will, the BIGGEST by far was the MREs when they were selling at insanely low prices. THAT right there? According to the ‘Zon, I sold a metric fuckton of MREs.
Then lastly, I’m still ‘solvent’ in the Stonks.
I haven’t made anything… well I have, but I haven’t.
I took a $10 loss last week combined that I rebounded from today. I’m now at $151.87 at last check at the end of the day.
THAT is why I don’t “stonk”
The last time I did, I had completely forgotten about it… it was some Medical Marijuana company that went public… I bought in, and it completely cratered like a motherfucker within 8 months… It was only $100 I put in, so meh… but it told me to stay the fuck OUT of the Market in general… The stuff I have right now?
ENDEAVOUR SILVER COR symbol EXK closed at $12.34
and then
KUYA SILVER CORP NEW symbol KUYAF closed at $0.70
BOTH are silver mining concerns, and I’m just going to let them sit there forever and see what they do. Right now, I’m just loooooooooong in them like a motherfucker. No other plans a’tall…
Lastly, I got ONE last stonk that’s not mine related:
ONDAS INC symbol ONDS closed at $13.24
It’s a drone-related company.
I figure anything drone related, especially DotMil Defense Drone related? Well it -should- do well in the long term. That being said is that last week, it did sort of shit itself (no idea as to the nature of the ‘why’ but it closed Friday at $12.16, opened today at $11.86, and as you see, did a neat recovery.
There ARE others I researched but didn’t have the $$$ to get in on… like AVAV, another drone stonk that when I started watching these things the first week of January, that one was at $250+/-. It’s been up and down, down today in particular, however, it closed at $332.33… Just too rich for my blood.
TBH, I’d be doing just as well throwing random darts at the stonk pages in the Wall Street Journal I’d wager. It is what it is, and I for damned sure am NOT anyone to take investment advice from.
So that’s what I got for tonight.
OH! and BTW: I’ll be adding more to the library as I rediscover various things… to include some forbidden fiction and whatnot.
So More Later
