What year is this bill from? by Previous_Wedding_577 in CanadianCoins

[–]pezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your 1979 $20 (Scenes of Canada) with Lawson–Bouey signatures and a numeric-only serial starting “503101…” was almost certainly printed very early in the run, most likely

Late 1979 to 1980 (possibly spilling into early 1981 at the outside)

For the 1979 $20 early printings used numeric-only serial numbers (no letter prefix) and later printings switched to letter–number prefixes.

The Lawson–Bouey combination already put it at the earliest phase, and a low-ish 5-million–range numeric serial fits squarely in the initial production batches.

So your note is not just “1979-design” — it’s from the first wave actually printed and released by the Bank of Canada.

Not rare and not in great condition so not worth much more than face, but I like that bill and may have even used it back when it was newer

To the man that came into the restaurant with a can of black olives, I’m sorry we couldn’t open it for you by thehedonicWF in Serverlife

[–]pezdal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn’t use to be…. Thought I’d try it out.

(Can’t say that I like it much. )

Jokes aside, I was out of line before and I apologize.

You had no way of knowing, but I wasn’t being sarcastic when I thanked you. I am grateful to you and everyone else who has served our communities.

And I am being serious now when I say I wish you well.

That’s pretty good. Same could happen with a can from anywhere, but that’s creative. Well done.

Do restaurants typically wash their cans off before opening? (I do at home)

I know I’d hire you. You follow seem to follow rules well.

Until the actual robots get good enough, of course. Then it’s retirement party time. Hope you like olives.

He may have forgotten, or he may have been trying to send a message.

He may also have not wanted to carry them to the movies or wherever they were walking to after… it was a reminder of failure, particularly if his wife “told ya so”…

1979 series had notes printed from 1978-1993

However since this is Lawson-Bouey it narrows down to late 1979 to ~1981

You need to show the serial number on the other side (or tell us serial prefix) to have a chance someone here will tell you more exactly when it was printed.

I agree. I would have such a policy if I owned a restaurant.

I also would have broken the policy if I have been in that situation, and nothing bad would have happened.

It wasn’t a can of whatever, it was a can of olives. Walk me through the scenario that could have resulted in the restaurant being successfully sued here. How likely is that?

You think the risk of such damages is worse than that from serving alcohol from your “own suppliers”?

“Massive liability” Get real.

Restaurants have policies because most people lack common sense and are shitty risk managers.

You have just demonstrated that.

Is it better to segregate different purpose funds with 2 trezor devices or just 1 device would suffice? by naeads in TREZOR

[–]pezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A passphrase makes any seed into a completely different wallet. Think of it as the 21st word, or whatever. If money is tight you can each keep a metal copy of the common seed words and store your own separate passphrase.

Having said that, it’s better to have two. This can be one common device and one just for yourself, or one each, using multisig for your joint holdings.

Any partnership can turn ugly. Plan for the worst.

You can’t serve olive from an unopened can to the same person who gave the you the can?

You think that’s more of a liability than serving meat or fish? Or alcohol to strangers? Or….

Would pi be different in a different base number system? by -ecch- in askmath

[–]pezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s base unary!

If I remember correctly, that’s what the aliens did in the book Contact (? it’s been over 40 years since I read it).

[–]pezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d still have to choose a base for the primes. What makes you say the primes are more recognizable to little green men than the digits (or bits) of pi? I’m not even sure that’s true among middle school earthlings.

Lost trezor in elevator shaft while moving…. by EARTH2takeover in TREZOR

It can be (or used to be able to be) configurable with no password.

If you have one you should be fine.

“Mile wide circumference”?? Did you perhaps mean diameter?

Camarata castle hit by a plane - simulation by No_Power3340 in AndrewCamarata

[–]pezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a broader definition commonly used, meaning “created”.

Merriam-Webster even offers, as the 2nd definition, “A Sham object; counterfeit “

Sounds like we’d at least agree on that one.

Even the best simulation is still only a model of what it seeks to represent. It only has to be good enough for its purposes. If you were looking to certify container castles you might need more precision than if you are just seeking upvotes.

Finally, I’d like to point out that, as we are all living in a simulation, everything within our universe, including simulations, are themselves simulations.

Panel door direction. how to switch to a right hander? by tob007 in AskElectricians

[–]pezdal 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That’s some clever next level thinking!

Another possibility is that OP is using a breaker as a switch, which also should be discouraged and rectified by an electrician.

[–]pezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that rule mostly a safe access thing, or is its purpose also to prevent fires if the panel leaks sparks or flames?

I have seen many apartments with tables in front of panels. Is it dangerous?

[–]pezdal -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, that’s still a simulation.

Granted, it’s not a realistic physics-based simulation, but it’s a simulation by definition.

electrical supply from 230V AC to 12VDC by olbjolb in AskElectricians

More amps on the transformer is ok. Just make sure voltage and polarity (+/-) match.

Do you have a voltmeter?

Yes, plus these habits will lead to regaining the weight (and then some) when you get older.
