Coinflation is a website that tracks down the melt value of historical US coins.

When I was a kid my dad used to bring home rolls of coins for me to go through. I would find all kinds of silver in there. I would pull them, re-wrap the newer coins and my dad would exchange them for more coins. He would pay me a quarter to find a quarter, a dime for a dime, etc. it was a great way to earn some extra money as a youngster.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but over a few years he amassed quite a collection of junk silver.

And because people ascribe personal qualities to an “intelligence” AI seems to gain the credibility of a real person when displaying results. It essentially disarms critical thinking skills.

Feds and probably the state health department, which can easily consolidate info to pass upward.

If hospitals can systematize a report and make even more money for the work they've already done they are going to do it.

NAC is pretty awesome if you have a buildup of phlegm, too.

It's not always that simple.

Congestion could be caused by a medical issue like impacted wisdom teeth, nasal polyps, infections, allergies, etc.

That being said, I've found some relief that does not rely on decongestants or prescriptions.

A sinus rinse of salt water can help clear out the crud that won't drain. You can rinse all you want safely. I've gone as frequent as hourly during severe colds.

Quercetin seems to have a positive effect. I think it might be an anti inflammatory. After I started taking it during COVID and found that I was able to significantly cut back on my anti histamine intake and congestion improved significantly.

NAC seems to help, too. My family developed a cough that just would not go away. Three days of NAC and my cough was gone and my ears were popping like crazy. Started giving NAC to the rest of the family and their cough was gone in a couple of days, as well. NAC is well documented to help with mucus in the lungs, so I'm not surprised that it can also help with congestion in the sinuses.

Regarding actually effective decongestants, the best OTC option right now seems to be 12 hour extended release pseudoephedrine. One pill will generally cover me for 24 hours, while the normal stuff I'm counting down to 4 hours so I can take more. If I take it more often I develop sleep issues. It also seems to become less effective over time. So I try alternate remedies above first and generally try not to take it more than 3 days in a row.

I think I'll pick up some potassium and see if that affects me, as well. I'm generally well hydrated and often eat potassium rich foods. But it's worth a few bucks to give it a try.

AI can only do what it is programmed to do. That's the way it will always behave.

I have a theory that we will eventually come to realize about half of Reddit and twatter are bots. And that these sites control most of them. Your “advertising” dollars buy narrative managers and comments to build your chosen narrative.

One thing that I’m not certain of - does buying this digital reality manifest into a similar reality?

If you don’t see valuable info, post it. Just keep in mind that the job of PDW is to hold a non stop rally for trump. But sometimes Conspiracy and GA stuff gets traction.

I bet Robinhood hypothecated (made up) shares it didn’t buy for customer accounts. They effectively took on billions in liabilities and had to force their customers to sell in order to reduce them.

I remember Patrick Byrne saying his stock was one of the most manipulated on the market in similar fashion. There would never be an accurate price in the market so long as people were buying and selling more stock than exists.

At this point, it’s not about legal. It’s about walstreet minimizing losses. It’s cheaper to screw you over and pay a little fine than it is to take billions in losses.

Soften them up with politician lies and give them a free response to an observation.

“Man, I feel really bad for all those oil workers. Biden said he wasn’t going to ban fracking, and since his policy changes were announced people are getting laid off from really well paying jobs. He proved the lie in a week! What do you think?”

“Did you see this study saying HCQ helps treat covid? It’s a shame the treatment got politicized to attack Trump. So many unnecessary deaths. Look at what India was able to do with it compared to us without it. What do you think?”

They can slowly acclimate themselves to seeing the gaslighting around them. And by encouraging them to share their feelings on the topic you are showing them respect. Eventually they will start seeing things for themselves.

It’s used across the world by leftists in relation to the UNs Agenda 2030.
