Re: When did they stop counting change?
It's not going to be 100% accurate, but I would imagine there are statistics of the quantities of older and newer coins in circulation which could be used to arrive at an average weight; this could be updated each year to account for any shift in the mix. Using this, I would think a very good estima...

Some nice images there; I especially like the first and the two "mushroom land" ones.

Re: It’s official
Just out of curiosity CP, do you work for a European company; the only companies I worked for that paid patent bonuses (other than very nominal ones (less than $100 plus maybe a plaque or some sort of recognition dinner) were European ones. There has been a move in the US to give more substantial bo...

Re: VERDICT IS REACHED!
And while Trump may end up paying a big fine, I am doubtful he will ever see the inside of a prison cell. Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to 5 months for business fraud and then again for perjury. There are in fact a host of aggravating factors that argue for jail time for Trump himse...

Re: Thy will be done....
Nah, for that sort "Thy Will" is never God's will when they disagree with it; it's a perversion caused by Satan.I sure hope Graham's followers will accept that the will of their God was done and adhere unto it.

Re: VERDICT IS REACHED!
Generally, I would think so; indeed, if the appeals involve state law, the SC may not eve have jurisdiction. Of course, if Constitutional challenges are raise along with state claims, they can have some jurisdiction, although it is likely that it will wait until the state issues are settled. IMHO, I...

Re: I just had to share this
Meade--I do not believe the town put the mural in; it says it was St. Pete Pride, a private organization. Now if the town sanctioned it and permitted it to be placed on the road, I would think there may be a vandalism charge (just like the unauthorized tearing don of a confederate statue on public p...

Re: I just had to share this
Lib--while I agree is free speech, it is possible that some laws may have been broken (e.g., the person was driving on someone's private property or in a area where driving was not permitted, such as a roped off area). In any event, I strongly suspect no one is facing "years in prison" for their act...

Re: 'Justice' Alito's wife did it
I didn't think it was possible, but I have even less respect for Alito after this; somehow I doubt many of his defenders would as sanguine if another of the justices had hung and anti Trump flag outside the residence (even if their wife or husband did so). This is just getting ridiculous.

Re: Pseuds Corner
Barnum was right; people will pay to see an unheard CD in a box. It might be great music or it might be horrible (hell, the box might be empty), but that doesn't matter one bit. And somehow a gallery recognizes that as "art"; I try to keep an open mind when it comes to art and even stretch myself to...

Re: Holiday weekend -- mattresses are on sale!
Meade--as I recall, when I was in grammar school November 11 was always called Armistice Day, celebrating the end or WW1 (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month...); I am not certain when it became Veterans Day, but in the early 70s Veterans Day became the last Monday in October...

Re: Holiday weekend -- mattresses are on sale!
BSG--I think the reason for that is that moist families are no longer in the area where they grew up--children move away and follow jobs and other opportunities. Add that to the fact that many cemeteries is cities are not in the best areas (I know the area where our grandparents are buried in Brookl...

Re: So does that mean he is dead?
I would like to think the FBI could hit as big a target as Trump--they took out John Lennon, didn't they, and he was a lot thinner.

Re: So does that mean he is dead?
If I recall, the FBI previously testified that it went there on a day they knew Trump would not be there, and gave the Secret Service advance notice. So it's more like "they almost killed me if they went there a few days earlier". It reminds me of a kid sitcom (Leave it to Beaver, I think) where a k...

Lib--
Where did I say they were? But they are both morally reprehensible. And FWIW, the nazis were bad too--so? In your mind, does the behavior of Hamas excuse the behavior of the nazis?Big RR, may I politely say bullshit; they are not equivalent
