I got the mathematician backwards....

But you get the point. It's more likely you'll guess his SS# than win the lottery.

Doc,

Well....I buy zero lottery tickets....well, maybe 1 every 10 years, and that's maybe.

It was $1 the last time I bought Powerball. Aren't they $2 now?

For 2 bucks, I guess you can get a couple evenings worth of dreaming about what you'll do with the money if you won.

So I guess you do get something for your money....a little bit of hope for a day or two.

I don't think there's much point in buying more than 1. With 1 at least you're in the game. Buying more technically improves your odds, but the improvement is minuscule.

I once heard a mathematician say the odds of winning Powerball is greater than guessing his Social Security number.

So 2 bucks you're in the game....and you get to dream for a couple of days, get a buzz and sit around talking about how you'd spend it. That's something.

Mad,

An evening out at a restaurant and a few drinks costs how much and what do you get for it.

Well....you might-------- I suppose.

Mad,

It's not an investment.

A case of domestic beer is about $20.

3 cases and you've paid for a roll of coins and didn't pee it down the drain.

Mad,

"What is the rationale in charging $61 for $25 worth of currency?"

On ebay I see someone selling them for 7.59 each and site says he's sold 5311.

On US Mint you could have bought bags of 100 for $154...that's $1.54 each.

My roll of 25 was $61...that $2.44 each

The mint sold 8,750,000 total coins in bags and rolls . There was a product limit for rolls and bags. All sold out in about 4 hrs. They aren't saying when they will be selling more. It is already saying it will only be thru 12/31.

If I want one now I'll pay at a minimum 7.59 each.

I couldn't get 100 bag because they were sold out when I got online. Was only able to get a roll.

If you want a coin you'll have to pay more on ebay now.

What is the rationale of collecting anything? Remember when people were collecting POGs?

Redial,

He might mean how I can see different perspectives of some issues.

Rarely do I think 2 conflicting sides that one is all correct and other is all wrong.

Frequently they both have valid points and is why they are conflicting in the first place.

But ultimately we might have to choose a side and live with it.

One,

"Its wild that Bill can hold two or more opinions about a variety of topics"

You mean about trans women and trans men?

They aren't alike and only one is a threat to women?

What other topics do I hold 2 more more opinions?
