is RFID blocking wallet a gimmick?
Online, every transaction I do brings up the bank page and I'm required to enter the number they send as well the cvv number. Dual authentication every time.

Trump vowed to "take historic action to defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology to restore the timeless truth that God created two genders, male and female." - Trump at a rally. I hope to see all this rhetoric thrown back at him if he wins the nomination. and then has to present it to the swing states.

You've also got a paper and video trail to follow. I can also arbitrarily block my card at my convenience, which I do when I misplace it. I got robbed last week or two, including my card; no losses apart from losing the card, my wallet, a few quid and covid card... which I found on a path near my abode a day or so later. I do notice a sizable number of people using some sort of contactless phone app nowadays more and more.- OceanGate Submersible Goes Missing During Titanic Dive
Thanks Seth.- Physical Revue says "Whiteboards are Racist"

The pressure is the first effect, and that causes ignition, then it gets swamped. Would the combined pressure of the ignited air/components, and incoming seawater be additive on the occupants ie their bodies experienced a pressure greater than just from the depth pressure itself, albeit briefly?- Physical Revue says "Whiteboards are Racist"
Find another commonality unrelated to skin tone between all black people, and use that. I thought of sickle cell, but that's only 1 in 13; thinking like the GOP here.- Transgender athletes
There will always be some frauds and mentally-ill people, I think that is recognised, hence the lack of arm-flailing.- NANOGrav announces evidence of gravitational wave background
Nice. I probably won't be around then. Would it be like sonar, as an analogy, measuring the GW Stochastic Background? I just saw this Arxiv paper as I was looking up what you were on about. Have you seen it: Stochastic gravitational wave background: methods and Implications- Transgender athletes
I thought it was interesting, and seems to be working without further political uproar... as it would be your side of the pond..- Transgender athletes
I originally put this in the 'Whiteboard'' thread and realized it's in the wrong place. To lift it to here, do people think this was handled well?:- Physical Revue says "Whiteboards are Racist"
That part about him did cross my mind, but I still thought it was relevant. If you knew about neither, that's how it would look, I think. Here's a story from today of a UK teen abusing in a gender-neutral school toilet. Do you think this is handled well?- is RFID blocking wallet a gimmick?
Also, one should note that a technique that is at 'proof of concept', doesn't mean it can necessarily be applied substantively in the wild. Not saying this instance is so, but it's something to be aware of.- Is astrology a science
I reside in the Aquarian/Piscean part of the Zodiac, so I'm more logical than the other zones. It's rubbish.- NANOGrav announces evidence of gravitational wave background
Isn't it amazing that this theory just keeps on giving and being confirmed?- is RFID blocking wallet a gimmick?
@Sensei Bear in mind, implementation of security features varies across continents and countries. US aren't using Chip and Pin yet, for instance. The relative risk between nations is not uniform.- Transgender athletes

Even black SC judges don't agree on AA. Our discussion is a microcosm of the problem, so let's take note of that and hang back a little when it gets too hot... https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-justices-jackson-thomas-illustrate-heated-us-debate-race-2023-06-29/- How is stainless steel product polished usually?
If you want to fill the grain with dust, then maybe so. Cabinet makers use scrapers. It depends how much you want the grain to 'pop out', I suppose. I don't think you get chatoyance with orbitals.- How is stainless steel product polished usually?
