Chlamydia is a major threat to koala populations across Australia. This bacterial disease infects between 20% and 90% of individuals in koala populations.
I went to a psychic who unlocked a memory of me in a past life riding a dragon. There were no dinosaurs there. If that doesn’t prove it then nothing will.
If its “technically a … check”, and it has account number and routing numbers on it, and you’re passing it off as a check, and its not a check, that’s call Check Fraud and the Federal Trade Commission will be interested in you very soon.
Also, they are not required to accept a non-standard check (at least in America where this SovCit probably is) and have not had to for decades. People have done things like carve a check to the IRS into a boulder and the U.S. government got sick and tired of it.
Well, I think the US Government has to accept those weird checks, as do banks. There’s 7 or 8 check components. Technically, I don’t think your name or the bank’s name is necessary. The routing number and account number will probably find you.
MICR refers to the formulation of magnetic toner or ink used to print the special font at the bottom of checks. Different from regular ink or laser toner, MICR ink and toner contain magnetic iron oxide, a requirement of the Federal Reserve, making check-clearing a more efficient process.
…
According to the Federal Reserve and the Accredited Standards Committee, X9 Inc. for financial industry standards, a check must contain MICR for it to be treated as a cash item.
If your business is currently printing its own checks, you must use proper MICR toner or ink to ensure they are compliant with the processing procedures of the banking system.
It’s not required to have special ink. You can just print checks at home. You are posting something from a company that sells the special printers. Banks accept checks with regular ink (from cheap companies) all the time.
Do I need to use magnetic ink or toner when printing checks?
To process checks, banks’ automated check sorting equipment relies on numeric information that appears at the bottom of checks and is printed in magnetic ink. This information is known as the check’s magnetic ink character recognition line, or MICR line, and contains information such as the routing number of the bank on which the check is drawn, the account number on which the check is drawn, and the check serial number. Generally applicable industry standards for original checks long have required the MICR line to be printed in magnetic ink; the need for magnetic ink on original checks is not the result of the Check 21 Act. Only the MICR line of a check must be printed in magnetic ink. The rest of the information on the check, such as the date, the payee name, and the amount, can be printed in regular, non-magnetic ink.
If you make payments by printing checks at home and the checks you use have pre-printed MICR lines, then the rest of the information that you print on the checks need not be in magnetic ink. By contrast, if you must print a check’s MICR line because it is not preprinted on the check, you should print the MICR line in magnetic ink.
A “tankie” is a slang term often used pejoratively to describe individuals who support or defend authoritarian socialist or communist regimes, particularly those associated with historical events involving military intervention, such as the Soviet Union’s use of tanks to suppress uprisings (e.g., in Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia in 1968). The term is generally used to criticize those who are perceived to be uncritically supportive of such regimes despite their human rights abuses or authoritarian practices.
How accurate are these measurements? I don’t know much about Norway, but if there was some massive roll-out of Linux in the governmental sector or their school system, surely there would be posts about it here?
Edit: I’m just having a hard time believing such high numbers without something like that.
Check out dattobd sometime. It’s a tool that allows you to make a snapshot of a block device for backups, while the OS is running. Useful if your filesystem doesn’t support snapshots.
