You can take it to a local coin shop or coin collector show, most cities have them pretty regularly. That said many common errors aren’t really valuable and that one to my very untrained eye looks interesting but not super rare. Probably worth getting looked at but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.

I think I could do that, assuming they want to. As frustrating as it is to be the smart person on a team of people who don’t know anything, if they at least care some then it’s not a total loss.

Again though the issue isn’t this feature, it’s that those are shitty managers and the solution is to deal with that, not complain about how a feature could be misused. Most features of most tools could be used in malicious ways but we keep them because they also provide value. Crappy managers have a thousand ways to try and track “productivity” and use those tools against you. Email counts, calendar availability, pull request metrics, etc.

The spray also helps to maintain freshness longer, so it’s not just a “pretty fruit sells better” tactic. Though it should be stickered if it’s coated and that coating is wheat derived (not all are).

This feature has been around for a while, at least the last year in our tenant as a voluntary feature and I genuinely like it to know if someone is in the office to help with something only according our on site systems or teleworking. Now we are unique since we have an air gapped system we need to maintain in addition to our internet connected system so there’s a real benefit to knowing if someone is around to work on an on-site issue.

If the concern though is that your employer is tracking you then the issue isn’t that Teams supports a location feature, it’s that you work for a shitty employer that doesn’t trust you and give you agency to do your best work. No feature in a productivity suite is going to change that, and it’s likely they are tracking work location anyways through things like VPN logs. This doesn’t change that.

When you say team of idiots, are these people that are just lazy, or don’t know how to do the work? I can work with people who want to do the right thing but lack experience and knowledge. But a team of people that are lazy and don’t care would be torture to work with so in that case ignorance is bliss.

They don’t make the yellow anymore, the green is good from what I hear though if you are just looking for home assistant and don’t expect to add a bunch of other apps to it (z2mqtt, node-red, etc.).

The Thought Emporium just put out a video on Nebula (should be up on their YouTube channel soon) about this. This is a huge part of why every guide out there tells you to leave your phone at home when going to a protest, or at a minimum turn it off before you get there and only turn it on when you are at least a few blocks away. A burner phone is an option of course but that’s an additional expense and you need to plan for it.

Try measuring your dry goods (including your legumes) by weight, if your recipes don’t give weights then spend an afternoon measuring and converting the volumes to weights or you can lookup common conversions. It will be significantly more repeatable for recipes where it matters (baking mostly but also if you are trying to track nutrition content).
