@istvan@Hoss What do you think of this excerpt? Basically Argentina kind of collapsed and "junk gold" was better value for money than "premium quality gold" since few people could tell the difference
>Someone hit me in the head please because I messed up about the gold issue.
>Everyone wants to buy gold! “I buy gold. Pay cash” signs are everywhere, even on TV! I can’t believe I’m that silly! I just didn’t relate it to what I read here because they deal with junk gold, like jewelry, either stolen or sold because they needed the money, not the gold coins that you guys talk about. No one pays for the true value of the stuff, so big WARNING! Sign on people that are buying gold coins. Since it is impossible to determine the true mineral percentage of gold, small shops and dealers will pay for it as regular jewelry gold. What I would do if I were you: Besides gold coins, buy a lot of small gold rings and other jewelry. They should be less expensive than gold coins, and if the SHTF bad, you’ll not be loosing money, selling premium quality gold coins for the price of junk gold. If I could travel back in time, I’d buy a small bag worth of gold rings.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad@sun I think the reason why we don't have all our follows has to do the people on the other side being stuck on "Awaiting approval. Click to cancel follow request".
basically it seems that a bunch of the auto follows (caused by the migration) are stuck in this limbo state.
They way for someone (on e.g. poast) on another instance to follow someone (e.g. dad) on SPW (who they used to follow on SPC) is: go to dad's profile https://poa.st/@noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world then click "Awaiting approval. Click to cancel follow request" then reload the page then click follow I'm not sure if it's just a poast thing, but I guess not
@graf@parker@jeffcliff no per capita data... I went ahead and did it for Alberta. Big jump up in per capita death.
Note: we would expect a decline in deaths in the years following the outbreak (since the outbreak killed off a lot of elderly and sickly people and so the remaining population should be healthier on average the the Jan 2020 population) cc @MechaSilvio demographics source: https://wikiless.tiekoetter.com/wiki/Demographics_of_Alberta
the reporting change was when they admitted that an outcome (e.g. death) with covid wasn't the same as an outcome due to covid.
This was something that "covid skeptics" had been saying for a while. Then the system just flipped on this and all the "pro-system" types just forgot that they had insisted that there was no difference between "with covid" and "due to covid".
@jeffcliff@MechaSilvio@graf@parker >You don't point to people dying of TB while they have AIDS and say "oh they just caught a random case of TB and it killed them" - you acknowledge that HIV killed them. We do not play these games with any other disease.
from the video: people going to hospital with a broken arm and who happened to have covid were being counted as covid hospitalizations
@Shadowman311@Rasterman I'm pretty sure that "functional alcoholics" spend more than 2-3 hours per week drinking (or (non-functionally) hungover).
Games are okay if you can do them in moderation (especially if you can socialize while playing), however some people do get addicted and thus should avoid games.
@lain many friends will be fickle. Some will be loyal. It's not always obvious whether a person will be one or the other.
Establish good habits in your 20s (or your teens). It's much easier to keep thin, exercise, and maintain a good diet than it is to lose weight, start exercising, and clean up your diet (and fix the problems which result from these issues) after a decade or two.
