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 This was repealed in its entirety by the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981, thus removing the prohibition on coin defacement.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.

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.

 

[Ibix]

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]

If I make lemon wine, will you drink it?

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.

Okay, we are two now then.

 

[zoobyshoe]

We are two now now. Not then.

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

I'm just kidding.
