Habibi is a gendered term. 'Habibi' is used towards men (regardless of the gender of the speaker). 'Habibti' is used towards women (regardless of the gender of the speaker). 'Habaybi' when addressing groups. Expect giggles when you confuse the first two.

Stripe is a payment gateway, not an anti-fraud solution. I'd recommend using services such as wyllo or Signifyd for anti-fraud. They will pre-filter against network intelligence signals, and if they approve the transaction, will guarantee your funds, even if a chargeback is lost, and even if you lose.

Alternatively, if your tropical or marine fish ever suffer from white-spot disease (actually a nasty protozoan), you use methylene blue to kill the parasite.

"Safe enough to swallow" seems like a scary oversimplification for alpha-emitting substances ?

And (at least) two in Paris. One mounted on stilts at CDG2, which depending on how you taxi you may or may not see from the plane, and one just outside ORY, which is maintained by an association, and visitable.

We did extensive research on the subject, there is no mystery. iOS will only read MIFARE tags with NDEF formatted data. If you write NDEF data to a formatted MIFARE card, it will be 'compatible' with iOS.

Otherwise, only the UID can be detected. The real mystery is why Apple refuses to open the low-level read commands. (To read NDEF, or determine that the data is _not_ NDEF, you need to read the card.)

Most modern amateur rigs are now SDR based. The big brands (YAESU, ICOM etc) seem to lean into SDR as QOL improvements (large bandwidth real time spectrum analysers to see what's going on across the whole band, Digital Noise Réduction that really works, etc), while preserving the heavily appreciated look and feel of a classic rig.

The Chinese SDR-based rigs have more unique interfaces, and there are many to choose from.

It's worth bearing in mind that most "Classic" desktop rigs output 100W, across 1MHz - 50MHz for HF - this needs to be supported by components that take up place.

Devices that operate at 10W are much smaller (and are typically chained with a larger indépendant amp..)

Adding our recent experience with Klaviyo. Klaviyo charges by "profile". When paired with Shopify, it automatically imports / pulls customer information 5o it's servers even when the customer specifically opted out of marketing.

First month, we were debited 3500EU for opted-out profiles that they had auto-pulled, against the consent of customers and us.

Even with the CEO looped in on emails, we had to threaten chargebacks before they refunded.

They also refused to remove data under our official GDPR request.
