I used to live in Buffalo and used to eat Arby's, not necessarily at the same time. Does that count?

The recall notice even lists the exact ingredients involved:

"Anyone who purchased the products is advised not to eat it if they have an allergy or sensitivity to cashews or macadamia nuts."

"Unspecified" refers to the missing ingredients, not the recall itself.

Hence the recall.

A recall due to "undeclared allergens" means the food has something like, milk, eggs, soy, etc. in it that wasn't listed on the ingredients label.

Yes, a problem if you're allergic to them, hence the recall. But a non issue for the other 99% of us.

...The 1945-P silver war nickel came from another roll. The other 48 rolls were duds, like most customer rolls.

I'm still searching for 23 out of 64 Buffalo nickels and 22 out of 33 Liberty nickels. I completed the Jefferson series with box 238. The quest goes on.

Box 307 of my quest/personal challenge to build complete Liberty and Buffalo nickel collections just from circulation via coin roll hunting.

9 proofs! All from one customer wrapped roll, which also had the 1966 which I suspect is SMS, plus the nicer later year nickels...

...I also found a 1916 and 1937 Buffalo, as well as a Bermuda nickel, my 33rd.

Box 306 of my quest/personal challenge to build complete Liberty and Buffalo nickel collections just from circulation via coin roll hunting.

This was the box with a reverse Buffalo ender I posted a pic of a few days ago. That was a 1935-S which I needed for my CRH collection!...

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

Perfect! I'll set up an SDR to record.

If it was still December, I'd have a much better chance of catching stuff locally here in the USA. I had to hop into a KiwiSDR in Romania to listen to the Farsi numbers on 7910 USB.

Box 305 of my quest/personal challenge to build complete Liberty and Buffalo nickel collections just from circulation via coin roll hunting.

This was the box with an obverse Buffalo ender I posted a pic of the other day. That was a 1919, there was also a 1934 Buffalo...
