The only way to look after land is to build a parking lot or use it to add another lane to a 32 lane highway.
You can get off with just a fine if you dig up the land and put down lawn turf. The fine is reduced if you use 5 gallons a day of water to keep it green.

At one point, blue LEDs were super expensive because of their difficult production.
So any product that has a blue LED was considered premium. I guess they were also considered futuristic and high-tech.
Somehow, this is still in the mind of some manufacturers.
All I want is a barely-visible-in-soft-daylight diffused/frosted red or amber LED.
But no, it's always some 5w lensed blue LED at somehow produces a tighter beam of horrendous blue light that's brighter than most flashlights.

Are you 100% sure it was a form from a bank?
Everything stinks of a scammers phishing form, leading to scammer calls.

I expect the only time a bank is going to want your phone number is when you initially sign up with them. After that, they should know who you are and your contact details.

I almost got caught out by a "sorry we missed you" delivery message, until it was asking for my date of birth.
Some of these random emails and SMS can catch you off-guard and seem legit

I have finally stopped using Spotify.
Now using TIDAL and absolutely loving it. It's like what Spotify used to be, loads of great recommendations, much better audio quality, a bit cheaper, and I believe the artists get a better cut.
It's too good to last, but I'm going to enjoy it while it does

I report them as spam.
Its nothing i signed up for, and consider it marketing. And there is no unsubscribe link in the email, and its from an unmonitored inbox.
That makes it spam, and i hope it trashes their mailer IP's reputation

I guess this is approaching the "find out" phase.
VW/Audi group fucked around with emission tests, and they found out.
