In the time it took you to write this comment, you've thought more about the abstraction than most of the people who are confused by it -- and it will never succeed to coax them out of their confusion with such logic. :)

However, if you do so for the purpose of some kind of benefit, financial or otherwise, it's clearly fraud.
It's hard to remember that that's still illegal these days -- but it is, for you and for me, at least.
I looked up the history:
1961 GFCI invented by a professor at UC Berkeley
1971 Added to NEC code for outdoor outlets
1981 … bathrooms
1987 … kitchens
2005 … laundry rooms and unfinished basements
2014 … crawlspaces, around pools and hot tubs
The exceptions to that pattern are remarkable.
This data has well-known limitations, but I think it is the fallback people are talking about here.
https (specifically the CA chain of trust) is imperfect, and can be compromised by well-placed parties.
I watch kids squeezing the polybags trying to find an identifying bump or edge, hoping to either get the one they want, or at least not get one they already have.
And yeah, baseball cards are/were no different, going back decades.
But at least the financial loss here is constrained to a few dollars. I don't think these are the gateway drugs to gambling problems, but they are definitely exploitative.
I don't know if this would apply to a commercial tenant.
But it would definitely not apply to non-violating conditions like the OP's case.
They will easily last 4-6 weeks with no major degradation (i.e. still good for omelets, but use the freshest ones for poaching).
The forest predators eventually help moderate our egg surplus. Free range comes with risks, alas.
Interesting point about ridge-cracking. I'd never thought about it, but it makes sense and I will mend my ways! :)
I literally LOLed at the idea that purchasing a consumer product, at retail, could include stipulations on my future employment. And at the hubris of any manufacturer for imagining they could get away with such an absurd idea.
When LLMs become able to reflectively examine their own premises and weight paths, they will exceed the self-awareness of ordinary humans.
It's atrocious how bad most bank and card apps are. I'm planning a switch to a new bank, and mobile app quality is a huge criterion. Bank of America and Wells Fargo get zero points from me.
This includes salmonella, which may be present if your flock is infected in the poop on the outside of the shell (remember hens only have one egress port), plus any other sources of environmental pathogens, of which there are many.
When the bloom is washed off the egg, pathogens have an easier time penetrating the shell and consuming the nutritious yummy bits inside. At room temperature, they can multiply rapidly. Refrigeration slows the rate of growth.
An unwashed egg retains the barrier, and stays fresh longer without refrigeration.
YMMV on household acceptance of dirty eggs on countertops, but they are cleaner than many other items within arms' reach that we are conditioned to not think about. :)
A couple things that might make the difference:
- Conference swag shirts might be a lower quality/more shrinkable weave? I don't buy anything special.
- I wash on medium or cold temp, never hot (except full loads of towels), and dry on medium. Everything always comes clean.Turing didn't go far enough. The next level is the Gladwell Test: Indistinguishable from a human who is persuasively confused.
No countries have extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Some countries have a lot of influence over the local jurisdiction outside of their own territory.
The UK doesn't have much influence like that.
But if the UK has any minesweepers, I bet this could all be sorted out with a few phone calls.
You might look into arborist's throw line launchers and line guns. They come in slingshot and pneumatic varieties. With a little (mostly fun) practice, they can be pretty accurate and reach limbs over 100' up.
I've used them to set solar mesh radio repeaters.
That would not be a mere project, but a huge commitment. Which would be devalued if the content was not published consistently, regularly, predictably with no vacations, etc.
It would be a truly honorable commitment (I greatly appreciate similar efforts by people elsewhere), but not one to be made lightly.
(Edit: despite the "not a...but a" construction above, this comment is HI only, and not even much of that! :-)
!x has been a shell history expansion since at least csh (1978?).
OVH, SYS (So You Start), and KimSufi. It's a bit confusing!
IIRC they bring the newest hardware into OVH and push it down the line to SYS and KS as it ages.
I'll bet that pair has stories to tell.
This happens before the winners are certified, and before they're given the ability to drop bombs.
I don't understand your confusion.
In the US, ACH transactions are reversible and trusted throughout the nation. Bitcoin transactions are not, and are not. This seems parallel to me.
Your implied comparison of "promotion" vs "monitoring" makes zero sense though.
Consequences of errors with guns are higher than with voting, because elections are audited and mistakes and fraud are found and reversed.
You cannot helpfully audit misuse of guns, after the fact.
The EU can theoretically sanction entities with establishment inside the EU, for actions outside the EU. I'm not sure if GDPR allows this, but (as a terrible example), I've read of laws to punish foreign travel for underage sex tourism. However entities with no such establishment cannot be punished judicially by the EU because there is no mechanism.
The EU could block network traffic to an offending extraterritorial entity, which might cause them to suffer losses (e.g. advertising volume if nothing else), but the EU cannot fine or arrest the entity or its officers as punishment.
I think we largely agree at the root of things. There's some imprecision in language around words like "apply" and "relevant".
I have only dug this deeply on GDPR because we, as a corporation, want to comply with the most consumer-friendly policies that we are able to. Obligations (e.g. CCPA because we are in the US) are table stakes, but we aim for more. Our lawyers tell me to stop worrying about the GDPR at all, and I am confident that they are correct legally (and financially), but as we all know it is more efficient to design systems that do things properly at the outset (or at least under minimal time pressure), instead of urgently retrofitting later.
This is how we know how extremely few problems there are, and how we catch the accidents (which are backed out, hence the delay between voting and election certification), and the fraud (which is extremely rare but of course also backed out).
The counterpoint is that if your job was to prevent/punish financial crimes that affect consumers, would it make sense to ignore these exchanges?
Heck, if M:TG cards were the medium, and they could be moved across international borders with a few keystrokes, then surely those would be watched too.
I won't argue that it's not privacy-invading for legitimate customers, but if the legal structure allows it, regulators have an obligation to look where the problems are expected to be.
