It turned out to be legitimate
your comment is a moot point. i was saying that it could be private and while it is probably mostly associated with people trying to purchase illegal goods crypto tumblers are a thing so that is something that can anonymize your crypto. also, you can’t pay with cash online so there is a utility of something that can facilitate anonymity in transactions online.
i don’t leave my car at the lube shop, once i watched the mechanics lock the keys inside the vehicle in the bay next to me. they were able to get it open, but i was glad i stayed in my car, even though it was hot that day. i like to see what they’re doing and know that my keys are with me.
i suppose i should have said it could have had a purpose. i think it was initially conceived as a way to make private purchases, perhaps of things one might not want tracked back to them. for a simple example, i always pay cash when i visit a dispensary, even though many of them take cards now, because i don’t care for my bank to know that i am making that purchase. if i could pay with cryptocurrency at the dispensary, keeping that transaction more private, i would. but crypto has ceased to be a private currency, and turned into extremely volatile investments. who would want to make a purchase with crypto when it could skyrocket in value the next day and you’ve suddenly spent more than you thought, or the vendor has made less than they thought when the values plummet?
as it is now, it has no real purpose. it could have though. you are right that as it stands it is a solution looking for a problem.
right now it’s purpose is to tell me who i should avoid
interesting! I didn’t know they made those. is it bulky at all? my fiancée uses a pixel 5a, i wonder if she would be interested in that.
i’m curious that you found the iphone magsafe to be weaker, in my opinion it’s just right, strong enough to hold, but not so strong that i struggle to take it off. were you using it directly on the iphone or did the iphone have a case on it? it might not have been a magsafe compatible case. but i’m speculating of course.
integration with the ecosystem. i have a mac, ipad, apple watch, airpods. it’s all so seamless. i can use my watch to ping my phone when i lose it in the blankets even when it’s on silent, i can copy text on one device and paste it on another, all my tab groups are on my computer, phone, and tablet and sync.
i like iOS. i had an ipod touch in the 2010s, so i’ve used it for over 10 years. i’m used to it, i know all the little tricks and shortcuts. i really like how it looks aesthetically.
magsafe. i don’t even use a wireless charger, but i have a magsafe pop socket, and it’s a game changer for me. i have small hands, and a pop socket is very convenient for me, but i don’t like that the regular ones take a lot of effort to remove, and sometimes i want my phone to lay flat, or need to remove the pop socket to put my phone in its dashboard grip. the magsafe pop socket holds strong enough to be effective, but can easily be removed when needed. unlike the pop socket that grips the side of the case, with the magsafe one my phone sits flat instead of wobbling when propped up.
i’m generally anti-crypto. i’m not against it fully, i think it has a purpose but that purpose is not unstable, highly volatile investments, meme coins, or play-to-earn games.
I definitely thought so! But I received a response from my trusted contact at the office and it was legitimate.
Yeah I sent an email to a trusted contact at the office. They weren’t open yesterday so the email being sent at 4 something pm on a day they aren’t open was definitely suspect. And, the other emails that are sent to us as tenants have only me and my fiancé as recipients.
Something I forgot to include in my post was that the employee this appears to come from is listed as a maintenance coordinator on the website. Why would the maintenance coordinator need my forwarding address?
i save the ends with the leaves as a treat for my guinea pigs. they sure like them a lot more than i do
This email is setting off alarm bells. Opinions?

I received this email appearing to come from an employee at my landlord’s office today (6/24). My landlord’s office is not open on Saturdays. I was immediately suspicious of it.
The email had about 30 recipients on it including me. The list of recipients did not include my fiancé, who is on the lease with me.
A email header analysis via google’s admin tools showed that the email did come from the email in the sender info. There is a mailto: link in the body that, when moused over, shows mailto:[email address of the employee].
I looked on the landlord’s website and this person’s name is listed as an employee and the photo on the website matches the photo in the email signature. The email matches the email listed on the website.
The language in the email seems off to me. All the other emails I have received from other employees at the landlord’s office have been very straightforward, this email is very flowery and apologetic in its request.
Overall, it has signs of being a scammy email and signs of being genuine, but I am leading towards scam. I sent a screenshot of the email to a different employee at the landlord’s office asking if it was legitimate. They are closed on weekends so I probably won’t see a response until Monday.
I think the employee’s account credentials were phished and the account is being used by a scammer under her name. Am I right to be suspicious of this email?
aww i have butterscotch too!! what a cutie you have!!
on mobile browser tap the hamburger menu on the top right. in that menu you should see a magnifying glass, tap it. that should open search, which has a drop-down to select between comments, posts, etc. you can also select to search subscribed/local/all
I use memmy, and then use mobile safari only if i need to do something memmy can’t.
So when you see people saying that something in earth/geologic history happened around 4 Ga, that means it happened about 4 billion years ago
When we are talking about years that long ago, we typically just say mya (million years ago or Ma for mega annum), or Ga for giga annum (billion years), at least this is true in my line of study, which is geology. As @fondots explained above, 1CE is considered the birth yeah of Jesus, hence years before the common era being called BC, for before Christ, before BCE became more common. Since humans (at least as Homo sapiens) weren’t around 5 million years ago, as geologists, we don’t really consider those years to be part of the BCE year group.

there are two “groups” of years. CE (common era) and BCE (before common era, also known as BC for “before christ”). we are currently in CE. There is no year zero, so 2023 years ago would be 1 BCE, and 2024 years ago would be 2 BCE. BCE years count up as you move into the past, and CE years count up as you move into the future. when you see something referred to as happening in, say, 500 BCE, that is 500 years before the common era, or 2523 years in the past.
I absolutely adore the mario franchise, and I was so so excited for the movie. Exceeded my expectations. As soon as I saw it was available for purchase on apple tv I bought it to watch again. It is clear a lot of care went into it.
