It's not even a few existing designs... There is an exact pattern called the eurion constellation that all printers block. Then the process for printing each countries currency just involves placing a eurion constellation and you get the protection.

Its a single pattern that is very rigidly defined, to the point that many counterfeit bills that pass inspection shift one mark off by about a millimeter to get it printed.

Granted having worked at a bank when I found out was that the bill didn't have the off color threads as well, but it almost was approved despite getting a close inspection.

Honestly the approach of telemetry for support makes sense. It's why for my Fedora system I have telemetry enabled to a decently high level that I would be alarmed at with windows.

Part of the reason is that it's so easy to enable/disable that I'm comfortable with more since I know how much I am sharing versus needing to "guess" how much is still open. Another is just that I have respect for software that respects me, so I'm more likely to send something back to help the dev.

The biggest tell for me in different areas is if data collection is presented as an opt in - even if it's a screen you have to see and answer before use - then to me it's a choice that I might want to make. If it's there by default, it's Spyware until proven otherwise, because I wasn't told and the process foe removing requires prior knowledge.

You know consoles arrive doa sometimes, right? People just don't mention it. Also this one was fixed by leaving it overnight, so not a complete failure either.

My first boyfriend was named Lance.... I might send him this joke.

That is the "classic" approach, but dietician increasingly recommending varied strategies fire different people.

I've been trying to gain weight for years and the most effective method has been 2 meals a day and intentionally snacking on small candies throughout since those teens to make me feel hungry as an appetizer rather than full like other snacks did. If I needed to lose weight the recommended practice based on how I live would be 4 meals a day and never snacking.

The way gaining or losing weight works is simple, it's calories in versus calories burned. For some people snacking, so long as it reduces how much is eaten at meals, increases calories burned by a significant amount. Therefore keeping them at a lower weight. For others it doesn't have that effect, and usually it's because those people eat a consistent amount in their meals regardless.

Usually p hacking doesn't come from 1 constraint, especially a well explained one, but instead comes from adding a couple or completely unexplained constraints (like a team losing more if their coaches wife is in one section of the stands or another) because at that point it's decreasing the number of samples (times you have as a reference) to force a significant result.

So usually for sports p hacking is stats about 1 team only, rather than a general stat about the sport. Preferably a restriction on the other team, then a follow up game based restriction so it seems plausible to the viewer.

I mean what I have is multiple database files I mean I just have multiple databases in use for that. I have my accounts, a "shared with partner." and a "friends" database. It works decently well just have to set default for passwords to save on mine, and then use sync thing to sync between my devices to the home pc, and just Google drive for others.

Having worked food service, it means your restaurants didn't get bad ingredients and such - I've had in receiving calls back and forth from the kitchen about what is 86 for now. Usually "salmon warm, 86 salmon" . Which would get a call back about what other stuff is supposed to be thrown out with it. "86 the peas they won't make next shipment."

Not necessarily, it's a crime to deposit 9999 instead of 10 and not report. When I worked at a bank anyone who knew what they were doing and deposited 8-9k in cash got the form. People who found out and then did anything else? You get a form. People who walk out? They get a surprise notice from the fbi later.

Basically if the bank thinks you might be close we just give you the form and you don't get to say no anymore.

I did a bit of a read, apparently the 2 most popular screen reading software sources (jaws and nvda) fully support the thorn character both isolated and in words correctly as of a 2024 review, but it was a major problem in 2022, prompting improvements in recognition.

Oddly, periods at the end of a post are currently considered a larger problem as depending on site syntax the reader has problems with if it should state the existence of a period or not. (something about if there is follow up or classifying it as isolated punctuation that holds unique meaning)
