How does this happen? These are all to the same email address and their body is effectively identical. My best guess is a bug or race condition with a message queuing system that means the message gets picked up multiple times before being removed from the queue. It's a bit annoying.

Nice try, CoinJar!
("CoinJar is proud to support Scams Awareness Week 2025 partnering with the ACCC to help you identify and avoid scams. Test your skills and learn how to protect your assets!"
It sounds legit, so I don't *think* the "win a free iPad" messaging is deliberately scammy-sounding)

More right-handed bias! If I pour fabric softener from the left, I risk it spilling out the side. If I do it from the right. At least spillage won't end up on the floor!

In my densely populated residential area, this thoroughfare is quite convenient. I understand the safety implications of pedestrians around trucks, but think a better solution is to cordon off a small safe #pedestrian path, rather than prohibit access entirely. #DesireLine
