Ahh... yes :) and you can use that. But then after testing, we still need to test it with a real credit card to make sure the test also works for real. In my accounting app, I have many extra transactions from me testing if the it's still working on the live site. And then I forget to refund myself.
Hehe ... I was doing accounting recently, and 'paying myself to test things' is something I have a dedicated account number for ;)
While everyone is talking about oil and gas prices, here in Denmark, our electricity prices will drop to zero tomorrow because we have so much renewable power generation.

German car manufacturing was the envy of the world. Currently it is in stark decline while still large in scale. Big parts of Europe managed to grow their manufacturing sector in the meantime. Source: buff.ly/gDmANuL
I completely stopped using Threads because it wasn't a good place to be.
For f.. sake YouTube... how many million times must I tell you to show me 'fewer shorts', only for you to tell me "got it, we will show you fewer shorts" ... but then you just stop doing it for a few days before you again show me shorts all the time.
It's infuriating!!
This is how it is in my company every single day... ;)
Okayβ¦ so I had a problem. I write a monthly column for a Swedish magazine, but I canβt write in Swedish. The editors had been manually translating my articles, which was a pain in the [beep].
However, I think Iβve finally solved it with a custom AI project. Here is how: baekdal.com/newsletter/h...
It's a thing... ;)
Here are gas and oil fields in Iraq being on fire (likely because of attacks by Iran). Rumaila is Iraq's largest largest oil filed. The worldwide environmental damage caused by this is just immense.
Can we just talk about how insane the amount of pollution that is being created because of how USA and Israel are targeting Iranian oil companies. Here is an example.
I'm not trying to defend Iran. But targeting oil fields is a crime against the world.
You know how people say that you should open your windows to get fresh air inside? ... well, not today. Air pollution is insane across Europe this morning. So, opening the windows this morning would literally make my home more unhealthy, even in my area of the country ;)
Just a reminder ... the world's military are the fourth largest polluter of the world. ceobs.org/estimating-t...
What do you mean 'fewer instances'. I want to block 'all instances'.
This is like when YouTube says that they will show me "less shorts", but then continue to show me shorts.

The only positive thing about the gas prices going bananas is that we are heading into summer. If this war had started in November, my heating costs would have been insane. That said, this whole thing is irresponsible.
Heh... not again...
I have just solved a problem I have had for three years. So, many times over the years, delivery people have been trying to deliver my packages to my neighbor. It turned out that it was because Google maps put the pin to my house on my neighbor's house. But, I have now fixed it ...
Waging war against the very planet itself.

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says βAnalogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?β The male scientist replies βThat's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!β They step out onto a balcony. She says: βPlease tell me you haven't built a library zeppelinβ This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds βIt's got a fax machine!β

Feeding frenzy... ;)
This is just getting worse and worse. First he demands that he should be selecting the new leader of Iran, and now this. The USA is just fundamentally no longer part of the free world. The USA is now in the same category of countries like Russia.
So... I'm spending my day importing all my old accounting into my new 100% digital and automated accounting system. The new system is many times better, does automatic tax reporting output, annual reports, and also imports the data automatically. But... I have to manually import all the old data.

In my latest newsletter for subscribers, I calculate how quickly you can resurface your article based on your audience churn and replacement rates. baekdal.com/newsletter/h...
Way more than half the audience, it's only "A third of Gen Z men" that thinks this way, so this headline is insulting 83% of their audience.
It was never about protecting the Iranian people ... Civilian death toll in Iran passes 1,000, rights group says: www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...
