I hope that’s not a mistake

BREAKING: Trump abandons talks with Iran, declaring the US no longer needs a deal with Tehran.
“We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, hundreds of billions of dollars, and we’ve got their Strait,” he says.
Iran told Qatar in the past 24 hours that it would not negotiate over its nuclear program at all under any circumstances.
Qatar then relayed the message to the US, prompting Trump to say he no longer needs a deal, senior officials involved in the negotiations say.
Trump also told Vance to now “focus his complete and total attention on the massive corruption.”
Buygold, 6:56, ah yeah, the smog.
You’re right there. All those clean air acts certainly improved life. Now we’re starting to sound like greenies 🙁
eeos, I ignore the rules too. Just pointing out the regulations are working against us much more in Oz than the US and UK. And they are forever working hard to get at us more and more. When you list a property for sale now you must schedule all unlicensed work that has been carried out on the property. Sheesh, my memory isn’t that good for the last 30 years! But would also list all the licensed work that was dangerous which my unlicensed work has fixed up …..

No apologies necessary brother. I find myself wondering if there are any good guys left.
All of this has been a tough pill to swallow.
Ferrett you don’t need an electrican
Who cares if it’s legal or illegal. Just make it a free standing structure it’s not like you’re putting panels on your roof. You store power and you use it it’s so easy I don’t need anyone to tell me whether something’s legal or illegal I just do it
Who’s going to be the most important chip maker in the world
It’s Terafab. Jensen will land here next, or he might just consult with them.

A few nights ago you posted an article negative on now removed Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. I said something like it’s hard to know what is true these days.
Apparently, you were right. She was a snake in the grass. Sorry.

I think you said it best yesterday, it’s been the same way for the last 20 years, with the exception of last year.
I don’t ever remember seeing T/A work on the upside unless it’s very long term. Decades. Anything less than that and it’s only good for downside.
Would just be nice to see us come back like the overvalued SM does day after day. It’s depressing.
No reason
to stick around for this bloodbath…….
Now the validity and effectiveness of technical analysis and charts rings true for the metals; ON THE DOWNSIDE! Certainly not on the UPSIDE!
Not one of mine but maybe worth a look …

Plenty of cheap mining stocks out there, all sorts of size/risk for every taste, but right now one i’d reco for virtually any portfolio is
$GROY
. Screamingly cheap, hot sub-sector, low risk, big organic upside baked in.
Full disc: I own some, bot them v cheap, not selling any.

The scum’s arsenal of weapons is seemingly endless.
IMHO, looks like they’re shaking the tree to see if they can break the lows ( in Gold) made back a few weeks ago (@$3873). If they can break that, perhaps we get a “swoosh” movement downwards to fill a gap down to the $3450 area???
I hope not, but fundamentals don’t matter right now. They’re playing with the metals and need to cover some serious shorts……
Oil just jumped 2 dollars and PM’s got clobbered, with the SM……
Why Gold goes down when Oil goes up, is just plain mad…but what isn’t in this new world !!!

Just the stoves, as you can put it onto the chimney vent of a stove…….an open fire as you will know would barely work with one and be very expensive to install.

Wow! Great stories! You are an excellent writer.
We had a lot more freedom in those days, including the freedom to do things that were a little dangerous. If we paid the price and ended up killing ourselves, I suppose we were free to do that. We didn’t have to worry about endless beeping if we chose not to wear a seatbelt, kids rode in the back of pickup trucks. The nanny state, hell bent on keeping us safe, had yet to arrive. I hate it when someone tells me that it’s for my own safety. I can usually figure out what’s safe for me or not. It reminds me of government inspectors who issue permits. If they sign off on a permit and say things are good; if things end up not being good, they are never held accountable. Why do we need them?
We were encouraged to think critically and take personal responsibility for our actions. Seems there were a lot fewer attorneys. We trusted government for the most part, although that trust is now at least partially responsible for our downfall. The media reported news, rather than telling us how we should think about it.
Ferret asks about things that weren’t good in those times. I’ve been trying to think. One thing, having grown up in Los Angeles, the smog was a lot worse back then. 🤔
Maddog, so you could still have an open wood fire without a metal tube?
Is the tube just for a combustion stove? I built a large wood fireplace in my cottage in Gloucestershire when I extended it in the eighties. The trick is getting the dimensions right for the updraft, as you know. Putting in a tin tube almost anywhere would destroy the air flows. It wasn’t a bug hutch though, terracotta tiles, so that wouldn’t have been a problem.
Gold Train

CN inherited the Duluth, Missabe,& Iron Range railroad
that brings raw iron ore to Minntac or United Taconite mills
where it is processed with limestone into concentrated ore
pellets called Taconite. Then the RR hauls the taconite back
thru Proctor yard and down the hill to the ore docks at Duluth where it
is loaded onto Great Lakes ore boats for shipment to the steel
Mills. Most of the iron production in the country comes thru here.

Everywhere is getting infected by government regulators who do nothing but create needless regulations…….I have a very old house which was designed to be heated by open fires burning wood and coal.
There are huge chimney breasts that go up to the Chimneys, they got warm from the fires and heated the upstairs….You can easily install a multi fuel stove….a lot do…..they too heated the Chimney breasts…so the bureaucrats created a regulator for the stoves….who decided that for ‘safety’ reasons a metal tube must be installed up the Chimney……result the breasts never get warm, the top of the tube is very hot, so hot they are now actually a dangerous fire hazard in a thatched roof and must be cleaned twice a year and have driven up insurance costs, so much that most thatched houses have abandoned them.
If you burn wood and coal it creates an impermeable lining inside the chimney, that no gas will get through and as long as it is swept, will not burn……so no need for the metal tube.
Good one, eeos. But it demonstrates what we’re up against in Oz,
as all that is illegal here unless it’s performed by a qualified electrician. Anyway, what I do is run a 2kW inverter off the car alternator, uses about 2 gallons US per day of Diesel on tickover, plugged into the house socket circuit and a link from the socket circuit into the lighting circuit so we have everything except cooking (BBQ) or hot water (cold shower never hurt anyone). Will also run on waste veggie oil, but then it smells like a BBQ.
Daughter was quoted $8,000 to have two air conditioners installed. Not including the cost of the units. Just pure, govt. permitted extortion. Borrowed a mate’s tools, $250 for some pipe and a day’s work for me. $40,000 per week!! Shoulda been a sparkie.
