    I need to have my eyes checked, because faces are a blur beyond 3-4 meters.

    I need to have my right knee checked, because it aches.

    Damn this frail organic lump of meat of a body.

    but that is what he is talking about?

    transferring a program from the old computer to her new one

    I was just offering a simple way of doing it, I didn't mean to imply that it was the only way.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Apparently Sweden gets a new design for paper moneys in 2015.

    edit: and the 200 SEK bill will be new.

    It is interesting that we plan to use the same tactic for space exploration as we did for polar exploration. As in taking supplies and putting it in depots along the planned route until we can get further and further out.

    Will be harder to find and bring back the log books when the crew starve to death though.

    can you wash their currency and have it come out fine?

    indeed. It's design is a weird combination of extremely dull and extraordinarily weird (that pyramid eye thing?) but at least it is hardy stuff.

    There are very very good reasons why different denominations should be different colors and sizes, but if you suggest that in Umurrica people get all irritated in their vaginas.

    yeah

    i was actually just listening to a Planet Money podcast this morning about the debate over switching to $1 coins

    but the reason why canada for example started using $1 coins is their bills only lasted 1 year

    ours last 4.5 years

    they are good bills, even if they look boring

    Pretty much, yeah. Blind people have to fold them in different ways to tell them apart.

    Our 20/50 SEK bills are taller than the others, since you're more likely to pay with those. The higher currencies are wider instead.

    Who are the people on each denomination?

    i guess we have many millions of $1 coins sitting around and no one wants them

    and we keep making new ones for some dumb, likely political, reason

    I would like to remove our money.

    And replace it with gold stamped with "In God We Trust" and eagle pictures.

    I'll just cut'n'paste:
    20 kronor
    Astrid Lindgren
    Småland

    200 kronor
    Ingmar Bergman
    Gotland

    50 kronor
    Evert Taube
    Bohuslän

    500 kronor
    Birgit Nilsson
    Skåne

    100 kronor
    Greta Garbo
    Stockholm

    1000 kronor
    Dag Hammarskjöld
    Lappland

    Honestly, Astrid Lindgren and Ingmar Bergman were the only ones I instantly recognized, and Greta Garbo after peering at her a bit.

    Evert Taube was a well-known troubadour,Birgit Nilsson was an internationally known opera singer, and Dag Hammarsköld was a diplomat and the second secretary-general of the UN.

    Sadly we refer to them as kronor or kr in writing. SEK is only for international use (mostly)

    Yeah, NZ bills also have size differences.

    The wash test is the best, imo. If it can't be washed a dozen times, then used in a strip joint without sass talk from the girls, why bother even calling it a currency?

    one interesting thing about Planetary Resources is that the things they are investing in (new tech, making existing tech cheaper etc...) are exactly the things needed for detecting and preventing future astroid collisions with earth.

    This is a perfect example of how totally full of shit the "no space until we fix X here on earth" spiel is. What they develop could easily end up saving millions of people if not human civilization as a whole.

    My only complaint about those moneys is that all of the people are modern, as in they all died after 1950.

    Feel like at least one more historic figure could have been added instead of like Bergman or someone.

    I want money with DINOSAURS ON IT.

    That would actually be pretty sweet.

    Aside from the fact that we don't know what they actually looked like.

    Dinosaur bones would be rad though.
