I Hit The Coinstar Jackpot Last Night

Yuki @yukimori (10192) • United States 14 Oct 21

I made a quick run to the store to pick up a few things before they closed. When I got to the self checkout I thought I was lucky to find a dime and a shiny new penny in front of the register I picked. It's been a few weeks since...

Victor Frankenstein Nice one. Checking Coinstar return trays hadn't occurred to me before I read your post, but I'll try to make a habit of doing that every time I go to the supermarket in future. I started today. There were a couple of Coinstar machines in the supermarket...

Do You Have a DVD collection?

celticeagle @celticeagle (190406) • Boise, Idaho 16 May

I never thought I would buy a lot of movies. Heck, I just looked forward to seeing my old favorites when they would come back around on the TCM Playlist on cable. That's until the price of cable kept going up. When it, along with...

Victor Frankenstein Yes, I've got a DVD collection that I've built up over the years, and also a VHS collection going back to the 80s (I'm now in the process of slowly digitising the latter.). I collect a mixture of classic horror movies and SF, and classic TV series. I mostly...

America withdraws 5000 troops from Germany

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (1785) 4 May

President Trump is boasting about America withdrawing 5000 of his men from Germany and you wonder why he is doing that. Germany is not at war with any one neither are the American soldiers fighting alongside Ukraine against...

Victor Frankenstein America may still be a member of NATO on paper, but it can no longer be realistically thought of as an ally. They openly want to replace democratically elected European governments with nationalistic ones that are more likely to do their bidding. Trump...

Do you believe Donald Trump will be able to serve out his second term?

The Horse @TheHorse (238579) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Apr

I know that politics is not a popular topic on MyLot. But I had to ask: Do you believe Donald Trump will be able to serve out his second term? Impeachment. 25th Amendment. Illness and death. All reallistic possibilities at this...

Victor Frankenstein I don't believe that impeachmet will happen. Too many bootlickers in Congress. Probably the same with invoking the 25th, unless Vance sees a solid opportunity to stab Trump in the back without then being backstabbed himself by one of the others in that...

Those who voted against or abstain from voting lave trade as worst crime against humanity

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (1785) 30 Mar

Its kind of interesting to see how countries voted recently when the United Nations declared the slave trade against black people as the greatest crime against humanity. America voted against it, while European countries who are...

Victor Frankenstein I haven't heard of this vote, but when you look at history there have been so many crimes against humanity. The Holocaust, the artificial famine in the Ukraine, all the wars... It's honestly hard to say which is the wors crime in humanity ever. Let's just...

China ends tariffs on African products- Will America do the same?

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (1785) 16 Feb

It appears African countries will be the bride of world super powers as China decides to end tariffs on most goods from Africa. President Trump had earlier increase tariffs on African exports which has had serious negative impact...

Victor Frankenstein I think China already is the dominant country in the world now. It's got an evil, despotic government, but it's run by intelligent people who understand soft power and playing the long game. They've been increasing their influence overseas through trade for...

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3491) • Eldoret, Kenya 5 Jan

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169676) • United States 13 Feb

Yes, yes it was. My clinical trial notified me yesterday that my blood draw this month had a tube that was missing or could not be used, or whatever. Could I come back in and let them draw one tube of blood. For $250? I took off...

Victor Frankenstein I'd never thought of that - probably since I'm a bloke. But it does seem obvious in retrospect, as the mother is passing on nutrients to the baby. Presumably new mothers who are breastfeeding get nutritional advice from their doctors - it seems like a...

Victor Frankenstein I hope he invests that money safely. Most lottery winners end up broke again after two or three years, it's too easy to get carried away. Personally, I probably would have taken the option of 25 grand a year for life, but good luck to him.
