Mundane Thoughts or Comments

[Guildedagain]

I have a few, saved them because they were cool. Quite a history the bill has.

"When the U.S. government began printing paper money in 1862, $2 was worth the equivalent of $60 today, so having a $1 note and a $2 note made sense. Later on, it just didn’t. But the “Tom” (so-called because Thomas Jefferson is printed on the front) was never very popular. It had a bad reputation from the start.

Supposedly, the bill was frequently used to pay for the services of s*x workers, leading to people calling it a “wh*re note” in the 1920s. Also: Race tracks of the ‘30s had $2 bet windows, and would pay out in $2 bills, so if you had a wallet full of “Dirty Toms,” you might be mistaken for a ne’er-do-well or a cad."

Just to add final measurements

5,1mls @22dBSPL - 10,2mls 16dB - 20,4mls 10dB - 40,8mls 4db - and finally - 81,6 miles -2dB SPL - that is below average hearing sensitivity level.

Therefore the answer to question about hearing the tree fall - in perfectly unnatural ideal conditions would be: If every living thing w hearing similar or worse to human hearing would be at least 80 miles away - then nobody or no-nothing would hear it.

Then naturally - there are multitude of species w vast better senses tha we humans have - but I leave it up to you to decide if it is worth of calculating.

My wife, when asked the question, answered immediately, and without even bothering to do any of these calculations. Her answer was of course, "yes".
And when she asked a number of her female friends to verify her answer, they were all in agreement.
How do they do that?

Hank Williams knew the value of a 2 dollar bill:

"I got a hot rod Ford and a 2 dollar bill,
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancing's free
So if you wanna have fun, come along with me"

Then there's the $1 coins from the '90's. SO close to quarter size they'd get passed out in change by unwitting cashiers. Which just happened to me again the other day.

There are a few rare $2 bills worth thousands. I'd wager only the plastic generation would ever find them odd. In fact, they are still made... by the millions. (As of just last year!) I do know that some money, like Susan B Anthony dollars were slowly being taken out of circulation. And for a long time (going back to the 80's) were being dispensed into a "controlled circulation" like overseas military bases. But there will never be a day it's not worth a dollar. Whatever little that is.

I should be able to decline an incoming thought, but my brain won't let me.

In general I don’t think any of us are in very good control of our brain.

Where is that thread with the car chases?

Check out the insane incidental damage, all real stunts.

Yesterday I really wanted tacos and today I'm eating tacos. Follow your dreams!

I dream about hot cars and fast women but it still doesn't work.

In my mind there is a direct correlation between cheese and strange dreams.

You have cheese-y dreams?

 

[Guildedagain]

Cheese dreams, the self fulfilling prophecy.

Muenster dreams

Brie dreams

Cheddar dreams

Roquefort dreams

Jarlsberg dreams

Parmesan, Swiss, all possibly causing different dreams, worthwhile experiments.

It's not the cheese it's the mold. Like on rye:

Step one in synthesis of LSD.

Blue cheese dreams are definitely the best ;[]

Gorgonzola if you want the blue cheese dream to be in Italian.
