Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[Borg]

Probably that's illegal, I know it is over here.

Fun-fact, at some moment in time you could earn more by melting down certain coins.
It is illegal to destroy currency though.

It's the name of a washer that's about the size of a penny. I doubt that he is drilling holes in pennies.

It is illegal to destroy currency though.

What's illegal is to deface coins with the intent to defraud. With paper money it's illegal to render it unfit to be re-issued by the treasury. I don't think it's illegal to turn a coin into a washer.

The process of creating elongated coins is legal in the United States, almost all parts of Japan, South Africa and parts ofEurope. In the United States, U.S. Code Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331 prohibits "the mutilation, diminution and falsification of United States coinage." The foregoing statute, however, does not prohibit the mutilation of coins, if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently, i.e., with the intention of creating counterfeit coinage or profiting from the base metal (the pre-1982 copper U.S. cent which, as of 2010, is worth more than one cent in the United States).[7] Because elongated coins are made mainly as souvenirs, mutilation for this purpose is legal.

In the UK, the Coinage Offences Act 1936 prohibited the defacement of any current coins. This was repealed in its entirety by the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981, thus removing the prohibition on coin defacement.

In countries where such mutilation is illegal, such as Canada, blank planchets, slugs, or U.S. cents are occasionally used, though this law is often ignored both by the users of the machine and law enforcement.

Don't forget about your lemons, Zooby.

That lead me on a train of thought; I don't think I've ever heard of anyone making lemon wine, or any lemon based alcoholic drink.

and what about tequilla http://thelongdryroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/tequila.jpg

Vodka and lemonade? Or is that cheating?

I think Zooby may have been referring to an alcohol fermented from lemons, in which case my Bacardi Limon might not qualify, since I think the lemon is an additive. However, I think the Lemoncello you mentioned does qualify. Does it not?

"Traditionally, it is made from the zest of Femminello St. Teresa lemons, also known as Sorrento or Sfusato lemons.[3][4] Lemon zest, or peels without the pith, is steeped in rectified spirit until the oil is released. The resulting yellow liquid is then mixed with simple syrup. Varying the sugar-to-water ratio and the temperature affects the clarity, viscosity, and flavor. Opaque limoncellos are the result of spontaneous emulsification (otherwise known as the ouzo effect) of the sugar syrup and extracted lemon oils."

Borg mentioned lemoncello. He hasn't assimilated me yet.

Sorry, Ibix, I seem to get you and Borg mixed up for some reason Not really, though. Just trying to cover my flub.

It would be futile to resist.

I resist lemoncello easily. Now if the collective offered single malt...

Edit: ...they'd have me all pale and pasty and feeling like someone had stuck bits of metal in my head in short order.

If I make lemon wine, will you drink it?

 

[Psinter]

I don't know, I don't drink alcohol . Perhaps one day I will try drinking, but I feel a little reluctant. Because I like you, maybe... although I have my doubts on whether I should.

That reminds me of something I read on the internet once about many ways of saying no. One of them said something along these lines:

I'm on fire for the idea, but the execution leaves me icy.

I have never had the chance to use it in real life though.

I don't drink either, but if I did, I wouldn't touch any wine I made myself with a ten foot pole.

You see? I don't like you anymore. Unfriended.

I'm just kidding.

 

[Ibix]

If you are using a ten foot pole to pick up the glass, I can see why you don't drink.

Some of the best beer (apparently - I've never tried it) is made by monks who don't drink. Maybe there's a correlation and you'd make great lemon wine? Like the old saw about all the best marriage counsellors being divorced?

Don't forget to use the lemons somehow, anyway.

I hope you are feeling better. If not, you can talk to me. Perhaps I have nothing of support, but I'll listen. If I'm not gone I'll listen.

I rarely use my own programs. Unless the program is a program to make other programs . Like generating code that has structural patterns, but the content of the structure changes and spans over a hundred lines of code. You know, why manually write 900 lines of code when I know the structure and I can write a program to generate the 900 lines for me readily optimized?

Next time say: "That makes two of us."

The lemons are special. They are home grown in someone's back yard here. They taste so much better than the bland ones you get from industrial lemon orchards. Therefore, I must not waste them. If nothing else, I'll squeeze them and put the juice in tea.

I don't know if you consider it a waste but you can us it for cooking.

They used to have a Moroccan restaurant nearby, too bad it closed out or was moved. I haven't had couscous for a few years now.

I just tried to kill a red-orange spider in the ceiling and it didn't die. It slowly went down through its web and tried to escape when it reached the ground. Then I smashed it FULL POWER while yelling out loud haaaaaaaaa, but it was horrible.

What do you call in English that feeling when the hair from your body spikes? All my body hair went up. Spiked. I can still feel it. I don't like spiders.

This pretty much describes my faces while I was struggling with the spider:

Before the fight: (when I noticed there was a spider above me)

Spoiler: Before the fight

During the fight: (struggle)

Spoiler: During the fight

After the fight: (...)

Last week I went to a supermarket and met a woman whose legs were full of hair like that. Horrible! She seems to have never learned what feminine beauty is.

Last week I went to a supermarket and met a woman whose legs were full of hair like that. Horrible! She seems to have never learned what feminine beauty is.

For what it's worth, when I evaluate beauty, leg hair has little to no influence. (I expect some backlash for this statement, but at this point in my life, I'm sticking to my statement.) I don't think feminine beauty [at least in my opinion] is restricted to narrowly defined parameters. I find feminine beauty in all sorts of women. Hairy or otherwise.

Females should be bumpy and hairless
Don't look.

That thing with the finger lock -- now that is some serious feminine beauty!

 

[collinsmark]

By the way, don't get the wrong idea about my previous posts. If you are a woman and wish to shave your armpits and/or legs -- then by all means do so. I am in no way preaching that you should not. Shaving body parts does not detract from feminine beauty, even in my opinion, if you wish to do it.

But if you wish not to shave, then that's great too in terms of feminine beauty, in my view.

Both are fine choices. Whatever floats your boat.

(I'm not going equate feminine beauty with hairlessness, but perhaps that's just me.)
