None actually, it’s cannabis related. In fact the only time it’s been an issue was living in Texas, that state really embrasses discrimination against people with criminal records.

Interesting anecdotal response but it’s pretty obvious that top pay attracts top talent, basic market dynamics. Obviously grifters gravitate to where money is, that doesn’t mean all to talent at high pay is a grifter. Correlation != causati

My accountant defined it this way… minimization is legal, avoidance is not. Minimization is just taking advantage of the tax loopholes and strategies that are within bounds. Avoidance is lying or ignoring. Yes it’s possible to minimize your

Why? Talent goes where to best pay is, if you’re not paying taxes you can pay your agent more.

My score was 7. I have ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, but luckily a >140 iq on a good day. I’ve suffered from depression at times, was incarcerated as a juvenile and an adult. Had a physical and mentally abusive father. I was also a convic

You aren’t calling out anything, rather just stating your opinion from an anonymous moniker, that gives it zero value to me. If you feel so strongly about it, why not do it from your normal account? Otherwise you’re adding less value then y

At least he is willing to put his name on his opinions… unlike the one using the throwaway account to lodge his complaint.

They are just generally gross, a lot of them aren’t cleaned(which can also smell), apparently they explode when heated, it’s hard to gauge the purity and weight of the gold until you remove the tooth. Lots of issues. Just messy business.

More and more graveyards are being fenced off and secured for this reason sadly. Plus generations ago some opted to be buried with their wedding rings and such. I know some smaller family ones in my area of central Washington have been robb

But you also have the cost of man hours, marketing that you buy gold, finding a smelter that will take teeth, or do it yourself. That’s not all profit, plus you don’t know the gold weight until you remove it from the tooth. Which is risk.

Hopefully they do press forward and he is arrested. Abuse of the legal system should be punished.

Unless you have a lot, you probably won’t get close to spot price. You might be able to find some local artisans that will pay better for small amounts then the big houses will. Gold in stamped form has the greatest value. Nuggets or mined

Testing tools, and a lot of knowledge. Knowing what it is and where it’s made informs a lot. Once in a while you’ll get someone that is scamming and had stuff made with extra thick plating. Most pieces they will cut in half, grind a bit off

The margins mentioned are about in line with most “gold buyers” that have store fronts. 70% of spot is a decent starting point for “salvage” gold. If it’s in any form but rounds or bars, it’ll need to be melted down which has a cost. So it

Yes that is regularly done. The jewelry buyers take them out and sell them in lots for very low cost to just about anyone willing to pay, those buyers then recycle the stones into settings or back into stores. The buyers are buying on pure

Yea it’s like people that bring in their dead ancestors teeth, no one wants to buy an old tooth and certainly not one with $5 worth of gold in it.

Some jewelers are dealing with things of great enough value that some gold dust or small stones doesn’t matter. Most jewelry value is not in the gold or gems, it’s in the eye of the beholder so to speak. So losing the actual ring is a much

Agreed on that, but this is Google, do you really think they couldn’t have made this easier if it wasn’t in their best interest not to? One would think, maybe even expect, a single setting in a single place would control this. And that thei

Google ignores robots.txt as do many others. Try it yourself, setup a honeypot URL, don’t even link to it, just throw it in robots.txt, google bot will visit it at some point.

Why do we post propaganda pieces on here? Tracking ships via photos is neither new nor novel. We’ve been doing since at least WWII.

Have you seen their private rate cards for this level of buying? I bet if you had your calculus would change here. Also, it’s easy to beat most costs if you get consumer grade hardware and don’t refresh it more than once a decade. I see tha

I believe in the state of California, for entertainment roles, it’s perfectly legal to state you only hire a certain race, sex, etc. for role. If you need an Asian male for a role, it’s ok to say so. Maybe go read the stuff and find this da
