...also if you make deposits just under $10k or make multiple deposits that add up to $10k+ in $ArbitraryTimePeriod they can be reported as suspected "structuring." Structuring is a technique to spread out transactions to avoid reporting. But it also catches people who just happen to have transactions that look like structuring. There was an example of a rural store owner that made deposits around $8k because that was their revenue and it got seized because the government thought they were structuring.

In my googling this week by far the vast majority of promising reddit links for my searches have resulted in the "r/[subreddit] will go dark..." message instead of the discussion. Usually only the first reddit result has the "Cached" link available. I suppose there's probably a way to force Google to use the cache for other links but knowing that there's a cached link available is already something few regular users are aware of.

Tagging with @ or # is not the same as DM which is a private message seen only by sender and recipient.

The off-by-one error occurs when you announce an event in Standard time but really mean Daylight time, or vice versa. While those local to the time zone will often automatically correct this mistake either consciously on unconsciously, those in other time zones (especially where Daylight time isn't used or is on a different schedule) will tend to rely on time conversion tools which will take a literal interpretation of the scheduled time and result in the person being an hour early or an hour late.

xn-- is a prefix for Punycode IDNA (RFC3492) which allows for non-alphanumeric characters in domain names. This enables the DNS infrastructure to be able to continue to use traditional domain name character restrictions while allowing compliant applications to display and allow input of domain names in a variety Unicode supported characters which get translated internally to an encoded alphanumeric domain name. (It also sometimes allows one to use look-alike characters in phishing schemes.)
