Of course they do. When everything the psychic does you know how to do and have done to random strangers it wouldn't have quite the same impact.
And no I can't do any of those things, Penn & Teller do the cup and balls trick with transparent cups and it still looks like they have super powers to me...
Seriously, you click through and actually post a comment on an article about arcade games but "1943" doesn't instantly define a game for you in the same way as "pac-man" and "space invaders" and "steet fighter" do?
I must be getting old. Excuse me while I shoo some kids off the lawn.
The stuff we replaced gold with actually shares some of the properties of gold. But not all of them, which is the entire point.
Yes you can find a million things satisfy some of those items. Zinc/copper/nickel all fail at item 4. paper money fails at 0 and 1 (assuming it's what we now have not paper as proxy for something).
And it's cheaper to dig gold out of the ground than to create it in a nuclear reactor, so that's hardly a problem.
Is the world going to switch to the gold standard? What do you think it's doing all this time, the decade that is seeing gold reserves being grown by individuals and national banks?
So who is the other group which has been getting rid of their gold reserves? Assuming you are already accounting for the increase in supply via mining and factoring that out, if individual holding and national bank holdings are growing who is getting rid of it to those two groups?
Other people pay taxes and bank debts and hence will trade you goods and services for those bits of paper. But they won't for the photocopie variant.
It's a really simple system, the notes have no intrinsic (well an instrinsic value that is tiny) but they make trade easier and hence people agree to use them as a mechanism of exchange. It makes no difference if they are fiat or if each one represents some physical item and can be exchanged for it for the purposes of exchanging them in trade.
And yes by using a fiat system you have to trust that whomever is doing the printing won't increase the supply by more than economic production has increased, but in exchange you avoid random inflationary spikes when a new gold deposit is found or a new source of pretty shells is found, or whatever your backing item is. And you avoid milder inflation/deflation when the growth of the economy differes from the growth of that item.
But is trying to move all the nuclear waste of multiple melted down nuclear plants going to be more risky than just making it a nuclear waste dump in place in a not so optimal location?
Both choices have risks.
Do you really know enough about both sets to declare it nuts already?
Beyond reasonable doubt is the usual standard, not "absolute 100% certainty". (though I don't know if this is criminal or civil, or what England uses).
Sure if you provide the police report and the tweets are after the theft and before the recovery with none outside of that timeframe you'll likely win.
Similarly with showing the tweets were sent from a library IP address and only on one occassion.

How is that a money quote?
Or do you mean showing the stupidity of the person asking the question?
Of course they do. When everything the psychic does you know how to do and have done to random strangers it wouldn't have quite the same impact.

Because that way they make more money, you know the reason they exist...
If you are going to use that criteria.

Not by NATO it wasn't.
Or what definition of "the west" do you have?

They picked them up while visiting. Just like if you are in the middle of the ocean in international waters and catch some fish, they are yours.
It works just fine. As I said the goldsmiths invented it by doing exactly what you claim "isn't possible".
No shit Sherlock.

And the rather large disadvantage that it degrades over time and is significantly harder to store.
Gold does not break "fractional lending". Goldsmiths invented it for god sake.

Surely an upward-tranding chart would be more indicative of fraud?
My IPv6 junk is on the internet you insensitive clod!
So you don't know the difference between "rare" and "never". Wow, you are a smart one.
And I'm certain I've seen a skype outage story at slashdot in the past.

Newspaper owners want to print it themselves. Twitter doesn't give a shit, the users are the ones who want to tweet about that particular topic.

You do realise the penny isn't the only currency, right?
