I don’t know why they don’t just get a regular push blade mower and a double string weed eater if they want to avoid gas mowers.

Then you better build your new castle in Venezuela earthquake proof.

Sometimes I forget you have a lot of intelligence inside that adventurous head of yours.

The subject is a ongoing debate with the scientists. Those that argue solar fares don’t pass through the earths crust and that earthquakes will happen despite flares because of the plates and they don’t always move in harmony.  Others see some possible relations to them like affecting the ionosphere and more. Etc etc etc etc etc and etc

LOL

My next door neighbor let his grass get a little too high. Talking over the fence he tells me he’s gone through three batteries for his electric mower and is still not going to be able to finish. 🙂

I hadn’t heard this. I hope they stick it to him!

WikiLeaks
@wikileaks
Prominent US war hawk John Bolton has pled guilty to violating the Espionage Act after previously demanding execution for whistleblowers Edward Snowden & Chelsea Manning and 176 years in prison for publisher Julian Assange.

As part of a plea agreement, Bolton admitted to unlawfully retaining sensitive national security information. He now faces up to 5 years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, a $2.25 million fine, forfeiture of his pension, and is due to be sentenced on 28 October.

Buygold “free fireworks” Oh boy! 🙂

Ipso, Goldie, overton

Posted by Buygold @ 8:18 on June 28, 2026  

Ipso – I’m with you. I guess all condo’s come with a free nightly fireworks show!

Goldie, Overton – today and tomorrow are potentially big days for earthquakes and volcanoes around the world after some massive solar activity in the last few days. We’ll see but the solar activity has been off the charts lately. Birth pangs.

Thanks for the site. Earthquakes or bigger ones seem to be more numerous buy haven’t looked into it. This one around the world not related to each other seemed different.

Have to be in geology or focused on one area. The reason is in some places there’s a balance between thinning and thickening via volcanoes, especially underwater and subduction zones. Other areas might be different. The earth core cooling over time might have something to do with it too but don’t quote me on that.

Goldie quakes & volcanos only get worse

Posted by overton @ 23:38 on June 27, 2026  

Watch professors experiment about the earths crust getting thin
About 37 mins in. This show was last year and he called quakes & volcanic eruption getting worse.

Was about to ask Ferrett about the world cup but then see another quake.

Posted by goldielocks @ 21:27 on June 27, 2026  

First hows Aussies doing. I haven’t kept up .

Strange for all these quakes in summer. We had a 5.6 in Calif about the same time as Venezuela. I got the alert on my phone but quite a distance away and with building codes generally things fall off shelves. Japan had a 6.9 then Venezuela but none related. Now another one in the mid east.

An earthquake 6.2 magnitude struck Afghanistan on Saturday, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). Tremors were also felt across several parts of north India. The quake occurred at 7.04pm , it struck at a depth of 215 km beneath the surface, the NCS said.

BREAKING: US has launched massive attack, targeting Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities in response to Iran’s attack on a Panama-flagged tanker carrying more than 2 million barrels of crude oil that was transiting near the Strait of Hormuz this morning, per CENTCOM.

I guess we’re going to have to re re retaliate!

Well don’t forget to write once in awhile. That if if you have any electricity that is. Paper is hard to come by there, especially toilet paper.

So, maybe it’s time to move to Venezuela?

Posted by Buygold @ 8:57 on June 27, 2026  

Get out in front of the crowd, where our gold goes a long way and they are forced to use dollars by the inevitable central bank that we’ll install?

It seems eventually we will colonize them for their oil assets if we still exist in a few years. Might be better living conditions for the average Venezuelan, if they don’t mind being slaves like we are.

I can hear Trump now, “about all that earthquake aid, you know it cost us a lot to send our military down there to help you guys out.”

I’d say moving to Iran is still a bit risky, might be a little early. 🙂

The on/off Iran war is still on I guess, and suddenly Russia is being forced to “escalate to de-escalate.”

What a world.

War or no war no doubt that’s what they would do if they could get away with it. Their ideations is that of a tyrant.

As far as currency it brought a thought. Too bad they can’t value it per state you live in by the inflation in that state.

goldielocks @ 0:56

Posted by ipso facto @ 8:14 on June 27, 2026  

I’m thinking it’s more like extortion.

Even Venezuela one of the worst in inflation gold went to trillions is doing a little better now

Posted by goldielocks @ 7:15 on June 27, 2026  

Although they’ve been changing their numbers when it went in the billions. If Iran is cashing in their gold for dollars they better hope they don’t change the currency on them.

This is Venezuelas

One ounce of gold costs approximately 2,533,558 Venezuelan Bolívar Digital (VED/VES) based on official mid-market exchange rates. [1, 2]
Because Venezuela has historically restructured its currency multiple times to counter hyperinflation, the value looks drastically different depending on which historical version of the bolívar is referenced: [1]
Price by Currency Version
  • Bolívar Digital (VED / VES): ~2.53 million (The current currency launched in 2021, which cut six zeros from the previous version).
  • Bolívar Soberano (IEF / VEF): ~252 billion (The 2018 currency version).
  • Bolívar Fuerte (VEF): ~25.3 trillion (The 2008 currency version)

I have experienced 8 earthquakes in S.America

Posted by Alex Valdor @ 7:13 on June 27, 2026  

With zero damage .
That includes a 6.8 in Jan. 2024 , with epicenter about 25 miles away .

Concrete is very strong in compression , but weak in tension .
The home I was in has a concrete second floor and a 500 gallon water tank above that.
The rebar reinforced columns support the weight above the concrete first floor ensure maintaining compressive loading continuously , even during the seismic event .

In bending unloaded columns , the momentary outside of the bending column is in tension and cracks form , then a moment later the opposite side becomes tensile . The column fails and the structure collapses . The trick is maintining constant loading from above via gravity .

Wow just wow

Inflation measured by gold in Iran. Truly a example that money isn’t everything. I’m surprised they aren’t leaving.

An ounce of gold costs approximately 5,624,071,122 Iranian Rials (IRR). [1]
Because Iran uses two different currency systems and currency exchange tiers, the price changes dramatically depending on how you calculate it: [1, 2]
The Real Market vs. Official Prices
  • Free Market Rials: ~5.62 Billion IRR. This relies on actual trading values in the open market. [1, 2, 3]
  • Free Market Tomans: ~562 Million Tomans. In daily life, Iranians drop one zero and talk in Tomans. This is the most practical price structure used inside the country. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Government Official Rate: ~172 Million IRR. Iran’s heavily subsidized artificial exchange rate is fixed at 42,000 IRR per USD. This rate is rarely accessible to ordinary citizens or businesses. [1, 2]
The Math Behind the Price
This value is calculated by applying the current global spot price of gold against Iran’s currency: [1]
  1. Global Gold Price: One troy ounce sits around $4,096.30 USD.
  2. Open-Market Exchange Rate: The US Dollar trades at roughly 1,647,500 IRR (or 164,750 Tomans) on the open market

Yes I understand your point. It seems to me that Iran wants to bleed our country and those of others in power plays  dictating the terms rather than conventional economic peace deals. They in the process are destroying their own economy. The pride comes before the fall. Their games have consequences. They’re prioritizing their ideologies over their people and economy dooming it to suffer for years and years that will only get worse.

goldie, almost certainly they can’t.

But note the “but” that the Iranians are pointing out. Wartime situations negate the UNCLOS conventions. Like if the UK was at war with Russia, the Channel would be closed to Russian shipping. If Iran insists it is at war with Israel and the US, and Qatar, Kuwait, Oman etc. because they have aided the US and Israel, then they will argue that they have every right to close the strait.

ipso, no, of course not. But who knows what game Iran is playing? Do they want peace, or do they want to keep disrupting world trade even if it’s to their financial detriment? Prophets before profits?
