Just how big are these “bags” though? Nickel is like $10/lb, and that’s high. Just the logistics of trying to steal a meaningful amount seems like a major headache.

Coin theft is a huge problem in the money industry.


No matter how bulky or heavy it is, it does get stolen.


Usually it's the higher value denominations but 50lb bags of quarters worth about a grand do get stolen. We caught a guy stealing boxes of quarters at my last job. $500 bucks per even though they weigh 25lbs.

The Boeing 737-200QC is the undisputed workhorse of the skies.
If they’re talking about bags I’m guessing it’s concentrate in big bags (intermediate bulk whatever is the official name) at like 10% nickel per weight. Those usually don’t get stolen, so either someone lied on their bills of lading and shipped gravel, or they realized some bags weren’t as pure as they should’ve been.

Edit: it’s bags of briquettes that didn’t meet specs - https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/lme-finds-irregularities-several-nickel-bags-warehouse-2023-03-17/

There’s probably fraud involved. Amazing.

Our dumb fucks would pull it out of the back of truck and rest it on the bumper and then forget it and people would just walk off and pluck it off or we would drive away and it would
A) fall off
B) stay on

Had a partner do this 3 times with A) happening once and he payed out of pocket to save his job and b) happen twice lol.

LOL. The US never repealed the authorization for the use of military force against French ships from the quasi-war in 1798. Eisenhower's authorization for military force to fight communism in the middle east from 1957 is also still on the books.

I'm not really an optimist about trump ever facing a proportional amount of justice, but if there's one thing that might possibly lead to that it's that a lot of people on every side of american politics want nothing more than to never hear his bullshit again or have to put up with him being relevant

So Donnie is claiming an "illegal leak" told him he'll be indicted on Tuesday, therefore he's calling for a mass protest to take the nation back. Then:

100%, I’m almost done with a rewatch and had forgot so much like how Hamsterdam had some good ideas but they didn’t ignore how Bunny (despite best intentions) really hadn’t thought it through. Or how the actor who played Gene on Breaking Bad is a recurring character in S5.

If you haven’t already be sure to read The Corner & Homicide: Life on the Killing Streets, excellent stand alone books and give a ton of background on what went into the Wire. All the Pieces Matter: The Inside Story of The Wire is also fascinating, and has lots of fun stories like how locals blasting music would ignore the production, but would turn it down if Method Man asked. Or how Bubbles’ actor Andre Royo got annoyed when he’d be dressed and acting normally at events and be constantly congratulated for having kicked his fictional drug habit. Or how at the start of production Idris Elba wasn’t well known but by S3 women would be screaming at him from windows.

We Own This City is also worth your time, it’s not a Wire sequel but is well done.
