Re: problems with American bank

Any news on how or why the American end got into trouble. The present situation seems to be case of someone failing their Business Finance 101 course. SVB funded long term assets using short term money. That is not illegal, other than violating fiduciary responsibility, just stupid. They had a raft...

Re: Will the NHS cope

We were in our local A&E 2 weeks ago for the night after t'other half smashed his face up. The staff were brilliant but were having to play shuffle the beds to find a cubicle to allow him to lie down as he was phasing in and out of consciousness. There were other patients in the corridor on tro...

Re: Hi - I'm making a film - permission to post?

How much are you paying?

You don't make films for free, do you expect to get your resources and harvest our labor for free?

Re: Food storage temperature

Tinned foods are kept in warehouses, shipped in trucks and stored in homes without climate control all over the world. Your tinned foods are safe.

Re: Mining as a part of prepping

Allow me to share a story about tulip bulbs and Holland. Blind faith in something with absolutely no intrinsic value. Even as we speak the world economists are comparing the current bitcoin rampage to the events of the 17th century in one of the first recorded stock market "bubbles". https...

Re: Prepping multiple locations.

This appears to boil down to simple risk assessment. How likely is an event to occur at each location? What event is most likely to occur at each location? Burst pipe, leaky roof, broken glass, someone kicking the door down while you are gone? It seems a basic set of tools should be kept at each sit...
