  1. Re:Shortages ? on Melting Coins Now Illegal In the U.S. · · Score: 1

    If the average Joe Bluecollar asked for a roll of change while cashing his check, no.
    On a commercial level, otherwise known as what they'll consider you if you go in there asking for a bunch of rolled change, yes.
    That's why all the stores around here hate to give anyone change to use phones or the like if they don't buy anything.
    I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.

    Man, I boggled my terms all to hell in that post.
    NOT, 21.5% return, It's actually a 43% return & a 21.5 Cent return.

  3. Shortages ? on Melting Coins Now Illegal In the U.S. · · Score: 1

    1.73 cents per cent ?

    Well, considering the bank charges $0.15 to buy a roll of change around here.
    0.50 * 1.73 = 0.865 - 0.15 = 0.715 - 0.50 = $0.215

    A 21.5% return is alot better than some some mutual funds, & blows a Collective Deposits' return of 4.25% (last I checked ages ago) out of the water.

    What are they going to do, start watching every single recycling plant in America ?
    Perhaps regulate the amount of theese metals recycling plants are allowed to process per-day ?

    this is not only for the additional exposure and attention, but also for the opportunities to gossip and receive extra insider information.


    The ones that get the promotions are the ones sitting with the boss at his beach house doing lines off his wifes chest creating the insider information to gossip about.

    "It has a lot of the geological processes that Earth has. In fact, it is more Earth-like than anywhere else in the Solar System. But the surface is very cold; it's about minus 178C."

    They're friendly, they'll sit there and listen to me for hours, they're just a little cold on the surface.

  20. Re:God damnit. on Sex Offenders to Register Emails in Virginia · · Score: 1
    Seems simple, so why do these guys make it so complex?

    The process of creating laws is funny thing.

    When laws are made, they're started on a thought of what could be best for society as a whole.
    When the people in charge of recording theese laws start to remember that time they got drunk and made out with their sister-in-law, they start to think about how they would feel being locked up in prison and having the key thrown away if anyone ever found out about it.
    Thus, lawmakers leave little loopholes that would let them escape in the event that anyone ever found out about that drunken time.


    For instance, I almost didn't post this because I thought about the time I got drunk & made out with my girlfriends sister, if she were to ever read this, she would know immediately what her sister and I were "really" up to "that time", then I remembered her and I broke up ages ago so I have nothing to worry about.

  25. The butterfly effect on Hans Reiser in Court Today · · Score: 5, Funny
    In addition, police said the couple's son said he overheard his parents arguing on the day Nina Reiser disappeared. The boy, who was playing video games in the basement at the time, said his father told him not to come up from the basement, police said.

    See, there's no reason to fear abandonment of the Reiser FS if this dude gets locked up.
