Loading ...If they’re going to do that they shouldn’t make her the only one who’s black or darker skinned if they’re looking for a diversified audience. Looking past the ones who made this up it not only doesn’t make historical sense at the time but not fair to her being the only one with different genetic background who will wind up the brunt of the backlash mixing up history. It won’t make sense to either side and hope it won’t hurt her future chances of more realistic rolls.
Tree frog
I guess.
I found when I bought my first house a Spanish rounded fireplace so a bit lower in the middle that it had some black soot from some serious fire on the bricks I used blended orange rind got it off without scrubbing and kept working once applied getting into the brick and leaves a orange smell instead of burnt which is okay too if not too much you can also mix with white vinegar for some things.

Beware bankers have weak hands. Lol

Point is was any physical changing hands or just paper trades. Maybe a deal on cheaper prices to buy it up because theyre not selling. Where’s the receipts!

There might have been a premium in there on top of the vat tax since I don’t think they were announcing prices with tax included.
goldielocks…buygold
Re China VAT…the premium has sat @ 13 % for quite a while, if it was a non VAT prem then metal would be flooding into China, it’s easy money.
This week we find out just how big the shortages are, as this sell off is a gift to those who must buy etc….
Buygold Vat tax
It is my limited understanding there’s two types of trading. That the vat tax which is 13 percent in China is only charged when the physical metal as silver is going to be delivered.
I didn’t hear that quote yet on that video but would be more discovery on the manipulation that this pull down was strictly or near paper traded down. Another form of a bail out only privi to them to know about at everyone else’s expense when they make a mistake?
This popped up on my YouTube feed – pretty informative about what happened. Also, no VAT in the Shanghai price
I suspect this is AI as well though.
I’m a MAC man
Have been since forever. I have seen Macs used professionally at video editing stations at a TV station back at the turn of the century. The Gold Trains here run on an old Mac laptop. Now they have changed the CPU chip, so a whole new machine will be the next ‘upgrade’.
I’m starting to play with linux on another laptop. Nothing serious yet.

Lol Interesting I didn’t know Mr B or Janet were Jewish.
Warsh was in the Fed before.
Weird.
“China’s Shenzhen Stock Exchange suspended trading for the entire day on January 30 in the UBS SDIC Silver Futures Fund LOF, according to an official fund announcement. The notice stated that trading would be halted from the market open through the close as part of exchange risk-control measures.”

goldie, 14:47, so Warsh is a Jew.
Ben Shalom Bernanke – Jew
Alan Greenspan – Jew
Janet Yellen – Jew
So everything’s now back on track.
I hope they get even stricter with them.
On January 20, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order aimed at restricting large institutional investors (“Wall Street firms”) from purchasing single-family homes, the White House announced. The order directs federal agencies to prevent the insuring, guaranteeing, or facilitating of sales of single-family homes to these investors to increase availability for individual homebuyers.
Key Aspects of the 2026 Executive Order:
- Targeting Investors: The initiative aims to stop large institutional investors from buying up single-family homes that families could otherwise purchase.
- Federal Action: It instructs agencies to implement “first-look” policies for individual owner-occupants, allowing them to buy foreclosed properties before investors.
- Regulatory Review: The Treasury Department is tasked with defining “large institutional investors” and reviewing rules related to their acquisition of single-family homes.
- Antitrust Focus: The Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are directed to review large-scale acquisitions for potential anti-competitive practices in the rental market.
- Goal: The primary objective is to stop corporations from controlling suburban neighborhoods and to lower the barrier for first-time homebuyers.
This order represents a significant policy shift aimed at increasing housing affordability by restricting the purchasing power of large, corporate real estate firms in the single-family market.
Promethean on Kevin Worsh
Not for bail out of banks but the working class and about the jobs coming back. So was the attack on commodities by wall street institutions and banks a reaction to that? I do remember Trump saying Wall Street needs to stop buying up housing. Americans aren’t going to be a nation of renters.
Now AG a different one.
On JPM more detail. Was not a market accident. Yeah we know. Is he done yet and now bullish?
JPM covered shorting at the bottom of the drop.
Based on reports surrounding the volatile silver market in late January 2026, there are significant indications that JPMorgan (JPM) moved to address its silver position, though the exact details remain within the realm of high-stakes market speculation.
Here are the key points regarding JPMorgan and its silver position as of Jan 30, 2026:
- Massive Short Position & Pressure: Prior to late January 2026, reports alleged JPMorgan held a massive short position (estimated at over 5,900 tons or ~118 million ounces) while silver prices were rallying, causing substantial mark-to-market losses.
- Reversal and Closing Reports: Some sources indicated that by January 2026, the bank was reversing course and aggressively taking physical delivery on COMEX contracts to cover their position.
- The January 30 Crash: Following a record high near $121, silver prices fell by over 30% on January 30, 2026. A report on LinkedIn/social media (as of Jan 31, 2026) suggested a COMEX report indicated JPM closed its short position around the ~$78-$85 level, coinciding with the massive, sudden drop.
- Shifting Stance: While former JPM strategist Marko Kolanovic was predicting a crash back to $50, some market commentators noted that some traditional silver bears, including those associated with JPM’s previously bearish outlook, began shifting toward a bullish or neutral stance after the crash.
Summary: While official, public documentation of exact bank positions is generally delayed, reports from late January 2026 suggest JPMorgan was forced to cover a massive, underwater short position during the violent sell-off on Jan 30, 2026, effectively closing or significantly reducing that position.
eeos, your 9:59 is precisely why we’ve got Apples.
I’ve never reckoned myself as tech savvy but I must be better than I thought as I managed to do all that stuff you seem to think is normal with a MS machine without Chat, Grok or anyone; but why? Why should that be necessary with the world’s most popular software? Like Maddog I reckoned it was just rich men’s toys but I was spending so much time fixing stuff that I thought I’d play the rich man (must’ve been a good week on the markets!). Revelation. I turn it on. It boots up. It says “Printer detected. Looking for printer driver” followed by “Downloading printer driver”. Now, that’s user friendly, I thought.
So for 20 years we haven’t worried about any of the stuff you mention in the post. If there is an update, it’s free (part of the original cost), compared to $249 for Windows 11. From MS website:
“Windows 11 is the one place for it all. With a fresh new feel and tools that make it easier to be efficient, it has what you need for whatever’s next. Buy and download Windows 11 Home to experience the benefits today.
- Less chaos, more calm. The refreshed design of Windows 11 enables you to do what you want effortlessly.
- Biometric logins.** Encrypted authentication. And, of course, advanced antivirus defenses. Everything you need, plus more, to protect you against the latest cyberthreats.
- Make the most of your screen space with snap layouts, desktops, and seamless redocking.
- Widgets make staying up-to-date with the content you love and the news you care about simple.
- Stay in touch with friends and family with Microsoft Teams, which can be seamlessly integrated into your taskbar.*
- Play the latest games with graphics that rival reality. DirectX 12 Ultimate comes ready to maximize your hardware.**
This version is designed for PCs that need a new license for Windows and meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. If your PC is running Windows 10 and you are unable to use Windows Update to install the free upgrade to Windows 11, you will not be able to install this version of Windows 11.”
Note how the first bullet point confirms that Windows is a chaotic system. 10 is obviously bad, 11 is better but still some chaos. The last sentence leaves you hanging – so what do you do if you can’t get Windows 11 in either of these ways? And if the best part about 11 is an external mic, it doesn’t say much for the rest of it. Mac’s internal mic has been doing that for years.
If you’re always looking to shave seconds then get a Mac. Keep an MS machine for your games and shave hours, days, weeks by not having to ask Chat anything.

Captain Hook
Apparently the shorts can make their own rules. This is what happened when a group of mostly young investors caused a short squeeze in some stocks. Despite their computer trading they were losing money covering they’re shorts when targeting and taking down Game stop and the movie cinemas with a short squeeze by a bunch of mostly young people even teens.
So what do they do, instead of cover or hedge, buddy up with the brokers tell them to halt buying. Oh and after they allowed the shares to drop back down they let them buy back a restricted amount. Dictating what they can buy and how much so it doesn’t interfere with the so called hedge funds. Now this coordinated attack with the metals. Who’s to say if the equitys won’t be next, it wouldn’t be the first time.
January 28, 2021, Robinhood restricted users from buying shares and trading options for GameStop (GME) and several other volatile stocks, allowing only “position closing” (selling). This halt, driven by massive collateral requirements from clearinghouses, caused a significant, immediate drop in GME’s price and sparked widespread controversy and legal actions.
Key details of the event include:
- Action Taken: Robinhood halted the buying of GME and other “meme stocks” (e.g., AMC, BlackBerry) and suspended options trading, allowing users only to liquidate existing positions.
- Reasons Given: Robinhood cited “unprecedented volatility” and the need to meet increased collateral requirements from clearinghouses, rather than directing users to stop, as CBS News noted.
- Impact: The restriction led to a sharp decrease in the stock price, falling by more than 40%.
- Aftermath: The decision triggered dozens of class-action lawsuits, a U.S. House Committee on Financial Services hearing, and intense public criticism, this CNBC report mentions.
- Resolution: Robinhood began allowing limited buys of these securities the following day, as reported by CNBC.
