It is not my field, so don’t take it too serious. But I think I’m those times it was not doable for most people to test metals for purity, so that wouldn’t have influenced it much unless it became noticable by eye (or biting)

They would all have different coins, but the actual value of those coins was determined by their weight, so as long as you could verify that it didn’t matter much. Scraping worked because not every salesperson would check the weight of the coins.
I image its the same reason for the Gold/Silver currency in many fantasy settings.
I think that’s also because a couple hundred years ago practically every currency was just a certain weight of gold, silver or copper. Different coins were just an easy way to recognize the weight.
Tastes are hard to describe. Best to just get a small bottle of vanilla extract from your local supermarket and put a drop on your tongue.

It’s not like your search found anything that could help OP, so what’s the point of this attitude?

Thanks. I’ve never heard of him.
Those things are pretty strong, they don’t just break when falling over. Chances are the cyclist would still lose. Better replace it with a landmine, or something else that really explodes when getting hit.

Looking at signalfx.com it seems to be a platform to spy on app/website users, so could be anything. If your block of the domain does not cause the app to malfunction and her to complain, the only way might be to inspect the traffic. But that might require setting up a mitm attack with forged certificates. You might not want to go that far.

I’m not up to say on the math involved, but I’d guess things up there are moving too fast for that to work on a time scale that would be useful.

more moral than Elon
That is an extremely low bar to set, and does not mean they are moral at all.
While it’s good they’re going the EV way now I think that’s more of a market strategy thing than a moral decision.

We haven’t since it got bought by Microsoft
Gotta keep the hype up. The legal claims are just part of the marketing budget to make more news.

I’d just set up dns 4 eu’s protective + child protection dns instead of pi-hole. Unless you really want to self host because you’re in to that.

There is no scientific definition of woke, so it is not scientifically possible to be woke.

Why is no one trying to discuss the situation in this fandom called fpe
Because no one has ever heard of fpe, let alone its fandom.

if someone’s injected with cancer cells, they develop cancer.
No they don’t. Unless it’s their own mutated cells, their body will recognize them as foreign and kill the cells before they can do much harm.
Never heard of isekai before, but seems right.
