Still, if you find a new and struggling place that deserves to be publicized, why not let us know about it?
====================================
It costs the U.S. mint more than 1cent for each penny it creates and more than 5cents for each nickel.
The bureau of printing and engraving could save several billion dollars by eliminating the $1 bill and replacing it with a coin.
It seems obvious that:
– the penny should be eliminated
– the nickel should be replaced with a cheaper-to-mint coin or eliminated
– cash transactions will need to be rounded to the nearest five or ten cents. Checks and other non-cash transactions can still be rounded to the penny.
– the one-dollar bill should be eliminated.
– the five and ten dollar bills? Keep them.

The anger, biases, and closed-mindedness of some posters is dismaying and never ceases to amaze me.
The fact that these posters are totally unaware of these characteristics in their posts is equally surprising.

====================================
The depth of knowledge on many diverse topics by other posters is impressive and never ceases to amaze me.

I will probably vote for the Republican nominee in the upcoming presidential election.

(I am not saying that could or would happen here, just be aware.)

I’d love to try a parachute jump from a plane. Just once.
Why risk your life on a parachute jump?
Was that now left-wing blogger a secular political blog or a religious blog?
Lots of good cogent thoughts there ICOT keep em coming.
I’d love to try a parachute jump from a plane.
So would I…

I’m sorry, that’s how Hashem made me 🙁
Add the kosher lamp to the list of inventions.
A parachute jump can be done after a 4 hour class, the entire adventure costing around 200$ Do it while you’re still young enough to enjoy it 🙂
Random thoughts?
Sleepiness is a symptom of caffeine deficiency.
Reality is an illusion created by a lack of alcohol.
Pres. George H. W. Bush did a parachute jump in ’04, on his 80th birthday.
ICOT I second all of it except the airplane jump, but I did go parasailing once. Way cool!
ICOT: “I’d love to try a parachute jump from a plane. Just once. “
I’ve always dreamed of doing that. I doubt I ever will.
ICOT
Quite entertaining…keep on talking
So how was the jump 🙂
You don’t need 4 hour class if you go for a tandem jump.
ICOT – you don’t need a parachute to jump from a plane.
you only need a parachute to do it twice:)
Ohhhh, I wanna go parasailing…..
And I wanna go white-water rafting with rapids ABOVE a 2-3. I went in the summer but the rapids were minuscule. We weren’t able to go on the good ones because my brother’s too young.
You SAID random thoughts, didn’t you?
I received a computer-generated serial number. Last 4 characters were 1C0T.
I wonder if everyone who starts a thread should be replying to every single person that responds like we see here?
Is this part of internet etiquette?
2qwerty – ICOT is very much an exception in mentchlichkeit
2qwerty: if the thread stays on track, then it’s a good idea for the OP to acknowledge and respond to a post. Depends on the type of thread and how it evolves.
ICOT is thoughtful on all threads. It’s good to be noticed. Thanks ICOT!
MODS: WHY DID YOU SKIP OVER MY POST?!
Moderator- I’m not quite sure what you mean, positive or negative. Maybe say it more clearly as a positive.
2qwerty: ICOT happens to be exceptional in his mentchlichkeit and thoughtfulness. mod: thanx for the feedback
Moderator- You’re welcome.
ICOT – It’s interesting that you say that about having an easier time modulating responses her. I find it easier in real life. Here, when people make cutting, degrading or hurtful remarks they don’t disappear, so I feel more compelled to (obsessed with) leave a rebuttal for the sake of future readers. Usually nobody cared enough and I should have just not bothered, but I have that “you never know” feeling. In real life I could 1)judge by faces if the words left bad impressions that need correcting, 2)not worry about future readers since they are not in writing, 3)avoid situations warranting those responses. But I do edit often. And I will use this random moment of introspection which you inspired to be more thoughtful myself.
On a more random note: Did you know coffee that’s been left out in the teachers lounge over the weekend still tastes good?
ICOT: srt to bud in, but that wasn’t a random thought, it had a lot of relevance to the previous conversation, therefore being very not random and asur gamur for this thread(:
No, but I know that leftover pizza left out all night can be reheated for a tasty breakfast ?
What’s leftover pizza? 😉 And ftr, its possibly even better cold than reheated.
(And +1 to what Syag mentioned earlier about your posts.)
Random (deep) thought: I always find it very interesting how while everyone may follow the same “rules” and do the same things, each one has their own story to tell behind it.
That was random.
Cake tastes better when having it the first time in two years than it does when youve had it the previous day.
Mmmmmmmm…
Unicycles are not as expensive as I thought they would be.
Bumping a thread is fun but not when nobody notices.
The posting box is rectangle.
An apple is a fruit.
I’m not bored.
You’re probably thinking that I’m bored.
I see swag as conformity in clothing brands.
moski – I think your randomness makes you more fun.
The IRS spells theirs.
The CR spells thecr.
Random thoughts of someone studying for the Bio AP tomorrow:
Yissachar is to Zevulun like mycorrhizae are to trees.
The Jewish community is social Darwinist in its shidduch system.
Learning biology makes you truly appreciate niflaos haBorei. How could a world that’s so exact have possibly been evolved randomly? (And this is even after I’ve memorized all the ways CliffsNotes says it happened because there’s probably gonna be an FRQ.)
Chemistry is a lot more interesting now that I know how it all applies.
I’m gonna completely FLUNK this stupid test.
It’s kind of awkward to feel your heartbeat and think to yourself “vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary semilunar valve, lungs…”
I hate the feeling of reading the book, feeling like you know EVERYTHING, and then taking a test and realize you don’t, actually.
ICOT- another not-random-AT-ALL thought:
Thanks! 🙂 Didn’t see that til now- it actually went reasonably well, considering that the questions were pretty much messed up.
ICOT – mastered the unicycle, working now on a giraffe unicycle.
