        my coin bracket is doing better than my uh... "knowledge" bracket. -- nm - mafic Mar 16, 16:30 6
        
        I know nothing and my cat even less. He picked Indiana to the final four because he gets boxes he can sit in from there. -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 16:38 5
        
        already way ahead of David's bracket -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 16, 16:39 4
        
        I'm in the 82nd percentile. It's been that kind of afternoon. -- nm - David Mar 16, 16:44 3
        
        (ESPN said it had 20 million entries. Only 30k are perfect after, what, six games?) -- nm - David Mar 16, 16:45 2
        
        the best anyone has ever done (in the internet era) is 39 games. edit: as in picked the first 39 games correctly. -- nm* - mafic Mar 16, 16:54 1
        
        I would say that's the equivalent of picking about 20-25 straight coin flips. -- nm - David Mar 16, 17:03

- Someone was living in it? It looks like it just needs trash taken out. -- nm - TWuG Mar 16, 15:32 11
  - Yeah, a bit of trash and a bit of clutter. Cleaner than I expected. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 15:40 10
    - Smell might be an issue, but that can probably be remediated. - TWuG Mar 16, 15:48 9
      - Indeed. It would need a very thorough cleaning, inside and outside and of the hull. I'd have to hire a diver for the hull, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 15:50 8
        
        And if I got a deal on the bidding (unlikely), the costs put into it would probably come out less than buying a comparable one - Beryllium Mar 16, 15:55
        
        Is it trailerable? Or is 30 feet too long? -- nm - TWuG Mar 16, 15:54 6
        
        At 34' I think it would be too long? But even if it was, stepping the mast would be a huge undertaking. - Beryllium Mar 16, 15:57 5
        
        So are you going to look at it? -- nm - spamlet Mar 16, 15:59 4
        
        I'm told that if I use it as my primary office space, I can deduct some of the expenses. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 17:01 2
        
        Maybe? -- nm - spamlet Mar 16, 17:07 1
        
        (Suggested by a Canadian accountant, but yeah, I'm sure there are some complexities) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 17:15
        
        Sure. Might even bid. - Beryllium Mar 16, 16:15

So if I started America from scratch, I'd make the 5 cent pieces smaller than the ten cent pieces -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 14:29 10
- AMONG OTHER THINGS -- nm - rollo Mar 16, 17:00
- New Zealand's coins are all sized by value. smallest one is worth the least, biggest the most. their smallest coin is also 10 cents. -- nm - mafic Mar 16, 16:24
- The first pennies were HUGE. But, yes, the sizing of coins is incongruent with the current metals composition. - TWuG Mar 16, 14:57
- It's because the dime was originally ten cents worth of silver and the nickel was base metal. -- nm* - Reagen Mar 16, 14:51
- Smaller than a dime would be tiny! - Dano Mar 16, 14:34 5
  - honoring Americans with small craniums -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 14:43 3

      - definitely metric -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 14:48 1
        
        metric coins? making a quarter 25 times the size of a penny seems impractical. -- nm - mafic Mar 16, 16:55
  - And for sure bigger than the cent. Way to similar in size! -- nm - Meg Mar 16, 14:43

- *shakes fist at Frontier* - znufrii, meh and problematic Mar 16, 14:23 2
  - It's still a very low chance (2 in 10,000 chance?) but it's certainly an outlier verse the other airlines -- nm - ty97 Mar 16, 14:25 1
    - *twitch* -- nm - znufrii, meh and problematic Mar 16, 14:32
This post is designed to make y'all feel old...i was backboarding and saw David's "The ball is tipped..." post - which got me wondering... - Turd Ferguson Mar 16, 14:16 8

  - agreed. -- (link) - mud Mar 16, 14:25
I'm gonna miss the TDAmeritrade trading interface. I like it more than Schwab by quite a bit. - ty97 Mar 16, 14:03 1

        I always love the pretentious answer about films like this. -- nm - ty97 Mar 16, 14:07 1
        
        heh. serious response: just felt very scandinavian to me, from what i've seen. i like those films, but they're odd. -- nm - colin Mar 16, 14:10
