    Sentient? The advanced definition: “capable of metacognition” And so far, only humans qualify.

    JCM, what scares me is that the USA is NOT building nuclear reactors. When is the US going to enter the 21st century?

    Uranium will poison you and darn quickly too. Not a good idea. The rare earths are a good investment – provided there is an industrial need for them, and there wouldn’t be if things collapse.

    How about books? Gunsmithing, cooperage, soap making and other basic formulas?

    Define “sentient” please. And compared to what?

    And cannibals get nasty diseases specific to their human meat diet.

    I think it has something to do with developing a “personal relationship” with a horse. Raising, training, riding. We just don’t have that kind of relationship with cows.

    Proving the building was broken into is no problem. I wonder if things like tools actually need to be “specifically insured” (like fine arts) or if the companies are just being dodgy.

    Hey, JMC, “not convinced that gold is more than the game of the day”? Gold has had value for 10,000 years or more! As for diamonds, they are parsed out by companies with huge holdings in those gems. They keep the price up by releasing small numbers of stones at a time. Gold, however, is very limited in supply and is snapped up quickly.

    And lets remember our history. In the US, it was legal to own gold, then it became illegal (except for jewelry and collectables) then legal again. The US government could decide at any time that it is again illegal and you would be forced to turn in your gold for paper money.

    I agree, if you ain’t holdin’ you ain’t ownin’.

    CR mandates a certain number of years of education. Then they tell you, “but make sure your child has the proper uniform and supplies”.

    So, you make c40,000 – 50,000 a week as a farm worker. Uniforms and supplies are c80,000 – 90,000. Or you can buy food. No wonder so many children end up with three years of education.

    We are talking pets, right? You may have to catch your own. Los Chiles is loaded with pigeons.
