usagi Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I would take the 2 million pennies cos then I can put them all in my ass and contaminate the money market with my newly-minted asspennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I was getting kind of annoyed with a friend when presented a hypothetical of either getting $2,000,000 worth of pennies dropped off to your place $500,000 as a direct deposit to your checking account. I feel like the obvious answer is to take the 2,000,000 and although there is a lot of work involved in storing/counting/transporting the pennies, you could just hire a consultant for the operation and give them something like $100,000+ like another $100,000 for expenses (work, storage, drivers, security) when the work is finished and the pennies are deposited to your bank. My friend and another person both said they'd take the 500,000... wut. What about you guys, am I being illogical here? Hahaha - love this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 clearly you would just pay someone 100,000 to deal with the pennies for you. i would myself sort out 2 million pennies for 100,000. surely it would only take days, or a week? i dunno. http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/eight.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny O Flannagin Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) You are being quite logical. Your friends are being lazy. Thank you! They just kept saying 500,000 is enough clearly you would just pay someone 100,000 to deal with the pennies for you. i would myself sort out 2 million pennies for 100,000. surely it would only take days, or a week? i dunno. http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/eight.asp Oh shit, that's only a couple truckloads, maybe only one. For some reason, i was picturing like 10+ truckloads of pennies Edited August 15, 2016 by Danny O Flannagin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perezvon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Vinyl-only releases is such a frustrating concept in this day and age why would you want to prevent people from buying your stuff Edited August 15, 2016 by Perezvon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 exclusivity. its all over the underground dance music scene. the worst is dj's who dont tell people the tunes they play because they like to think they have somehow achieved something simply by liking something they didnt create themselves. hopefully as mixcloud and stuffs auto deduction technology improves that will fade out.

Perezvon Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Yeah that's exactly what happened lol. It took me forever to id a track only to discover a few minutes later that it was another one of those vinyl-only, also very limited edition (= out of stock) releases. Why... You're kind of shooting yourself in the foot when you don't want everyone to be able to buy and support your music. Not to mention it's a bit disgustingly elitist. How is this even a business model ?

Hugh Mughnus Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I feel like I should be further in my career at my age. But I know that I'm FOS and I'm doing just fine. But I can't help thinking that I should be doing fine-r. seppuku* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 an engineer in a meeting i was in today kept saying, "that's a mute point". I hate it when people keep using the same words over and over and over. My boss is turning all my colleagues into mini-versions of himself so they all go around and use the same "business"-words that he does. Luckily, as I'm writing this I can't even remember any of the words they use. But I cringe every single time they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 i fucking love that bit in peep show where mark feels so proud of himself saying 'chance would be a fine thing'' that he says it three times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
