    The Ultimate Cure for Colds

    My parents, in the 1940s and 1950s, gave me and my 5 siblings a shot of Peppermint Schnapps to clear the sinuses. I guess nowadays that would be child abuse.

    CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency)

    I've only seen one business with a sign that said CASH ONLY. Maybe it's more wide spread than I thought.

    ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer)

    This doesn't feel like AI to me. It seems to me that it is just a super fast database parser. I too can search for shit like that on the internet. It just takes me a hell of lot longer in time to do it. That along with a very advanced grammar checker and boom! You have AI for the stupid ass masses.

    Money & Economics

    Holy Crap Tigerwillow. I guess I accidentally got lucky. My bank (Chase) cashed my EE bonds for me in the first week of December. If they wouldn't have, I'd have been in the same boat as you. Please keep was informed how this turns out for you.

    Money & Economics

    Here's another one. I have some 20 year EE bonds that mature this month (12/22). My plan was to redeem half this month and the other half in January 2023, to avoid the 85% thingy on my social security income. Well, I just discovered that you must pay taxes on the date of maturity, whether you...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    A COPY AND PASTE FROM "MY LIFE JOURNAL" In 1957 the “Asian Flu” epidemic hit the United States. The “Powers That Be” decided that our small and isolated Naval Base would be the ideal place to test a new vaccine for the Asian Flu. Shortly after the inoculations were given, people started...

    Monkeypox…anyone else concerned?

    THIS IS NOT A JOKE! My wife has a client that stopped coming to her office because my wife refused to get vaxed. Now get this: He also would not talk to her on the phone because he thought he could get covid over the phone. Yes, he is a liberal democrat/Trump hater.

    Drug Overdose Deaths...

    This is the "trip" my nephew in-law took: He was a hard working family man (wife and 2 boys) up into his mid thirties. He had a severe back injury, work related, when he was about 35. He was in excruciating pain 24/7. His doctor put him on oxy. Finally his doctor cut him off. Then he was able to...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I got a prescription for Ivermectin from a Naturepath doctor and had the prescription filled at a Compound Pharmacy. Quick and easy, but more expensive than ordering from India. DesertRat
