The answer depends on the country. In the US, review the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. In Canada, there is the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) regulations and also the CRA requiring the individuals and businesses retain their records for up to six years.

if there’s some sort of way around this either with a lawyer or federal form or something.

Very unlikely.

In terms of physiology, the color is stimulated in the brain when the eye reports input from short wave blue cone cells along with a sub-sensitivity of the long wave cones which respond secondarily to that same deep blue color, but with little or no input from the middle wave cones. The brain interprets that combination as some hue of magenta or purple, depending on the relative strengths of the cone responses.

In other words, our brains are like "🤷‍♂️, here's a thing"

Terminal is life!

But also, easy mode Linux distro for the technically challenged would be great

Berríos will start for the Blue Jays on Opening Day, and Eflin will take the mound for the Rays as they host Toronto at 4:10 p.m. ET on March 28 at Tropicana Field. It will be the fourth Opening Day start for Berríos and the first for Eflin.

March 28th, I'm pumped, are you pumped?

During a legislature hearing on Thursday, Antoine Bittar said he had been advocating for tougher drinking and driving legislation when the CAQ offered an opportunity for him and his partner, Élizabeth Rivera, to meet minister Geneviève Guilbault at an October 2023 fundraising cocktail.

Bittar said he and Rivera each paid $100 — the maximum annual political donation — because he felt it was a chance to press their cause and keep it from stagnating. The couple said they were offered four minutes with the minister, two minutes per person.

Met a couple of really neat dudes at the store looking for parts for this guy. I really liked the uniqueness of it.

He'll probably get better service if he calls his credit card company (hopefully he ordered using a credit card) and having them reverse the charges. He'll maybe have to wait 30 days, but since he has a police report and amazon isn't cooperating, I think the cc company will go ahead and do it.

Sure, he wont have a watch but at least he wont be out $2k

Reminds me of the "Op" wars on IRC. All users would be given @ status and the point was to kick everyone before you got kicked. Writing scripts for this was my first "taste" at programming.

I'm new to whittling and these are the first things I completed that don't look like trash.

I followed one of those "make a fox" youtube guides for the first one.

Have you tried setting a breakpoint and seeing if it hits? Assuming the app you are debugging is just a Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); and no breakpoints are set, the app will execute, output hello world, and terminate. Which means you wouldn't see anything happen in VS Code.

If you are super new to all this, I would suggest you look for videos/articles on how to debug using visual studio code as they may provide some insights or concepts you may not already know.
