...or someone printing one in anger.
Have you ever printed anything? Something as complex as a firearm is not completed on a whim.

My middle child, when she was age 25-30, could easily pass for 15.

And buying more than one item negates that store tactic.
This is a long solved problem. Round the final bill up or down to the nearest 5 or 0.

US military in Europe did away with pennies in 1980. The only place you could use a penny was the Post Office.
Nary a problem.
Round up or down to the nearest .05 or .0. It averages out over time.

After making a full drive backup (which you should be doing anyway), try it.
If it fails, recover from your backup.

I know it is easy to rag on the F-35, but in the last 75 years, has any high performance aircraft been "on time and on budget and on mission"?

schwit1 writes: Members of the group offered on Telegram to draw armed officers to schools, malls and airports, though their claims are unverified. Such false emergency calls have disrupted campus life in recent days.
An online group said that it was behind a number of recent hoax emergency calls that drew a heavy law enforcement response to college campuses across the United States and were timed to coincide with the start of the school year.
The group, which calls itself Purgatory, highlighted news media coverage of the recent hoaxes in a public-facing channel on Telegram, an encrypted messaging service often used by criminals.
The online group is suspected of being connected to several of the episodes, including reports of shootings, according to cybersecurity experts, law enforcement agencies and the group members’ own posts in a social media chat. The group’s claims could not be independently verified.
Federal authorities previously connected the same network to a series of bomb scares and bogus shooting reports in early 2024, for which three men pleaded guilty this year.
The spreading of false reports — a practice known as swatting — is intended to sow fear and chaos at educational and governmental institutions, as well as commercial places. Some swatting episodes have focused on the homes of politicians and other famous people.

And, of course, the US medical system once again shows the implicit problems with the complexity of the network of middlemen that "manage" heath care by adding overhead to the system to line their own pockets.
You think other palces are immune?
