However, to put it into perspective, a dime is only 50 seconds of labor at Kansas' minimum wage ($7.25/hr).
It's hard to find a situation where a dime truly makes much difference. And remember the rounding. You won't always lose 10c just because dimes don't exist.
Mine says "NovaMin" right on the front. There are multiple types of Sensodyne.
Btw, what really drives me crazy is that Elmex sells multiple different sorts of tooth paste with the colors green and violett, each. How can a company confuse their customers so much that they buy a tooth whitener paste instead of a remineralizing one? Did the mistake twice...
The toothpaste maker wants to claim something like "Novamin is useful". In the EU this is treated as for cosmetics, so relatively low bar to clear. In the US this is treated as pharmaceutical, so a high bar to clear. The manufacturer has decided that passing that bar is not financially sensible for them.
I think a lot of payment terminals have an option to record transactions offline and upload them later, but apparently it's not enabled by default - probably because it increases your risk that someone pays with a bad card.
After having my credit card locked by stupid fraud prevention algorithms on my honeymoon, I had a long chat with them before going overseas a second time.
And that was the day Visa had a full on outage. We would walk into one shop, try to buy stuff, get declined, then go into the next and get accepted because they were running in offline mode.
Got a nice big bill from my cellphone carrier for making the call to visa to ask them wtf as well.
Why are yours changing every day? If they always did that, then yes it would be a stupid idea. But they don't change on their own, or for no reason, so it isn't a stupid idea.
Mine change maybe once every couple of years, if I do a full reinstall without copying over the old host key. And then I know exactly why it changed.
the only time the host keys should change is if you a) delete them (either by wiping the whole machine or just deleting the files), or b) explicitly regenerate them. If they're changing for any other reason you're doing something weird.
A system upgrade reinstalls every package, but does not regenerate host keys (Fedora).
A full reinstall is wiping the drive completely, and running the installer from a LiveCD/LiveUSB. Nothing is retained, and new host keys are generated.
If my host keys were changing regularly, I would worry about it. There's no legitimate reason for that to be happening, since I'm not regularly wiping the drive and reinstalling, nor am I regularly manually deleting the host keys (the other way they get regenerated).
