Or the symbol evolved from an abbreviation of “each at”—the “a” being encased by an “e.”. The first documented use was in 1536, in a letter by Francesco Lapi, a Florentine merchant ... The @ character is the symbol of the internet age, crucial for emails and social networking. But no-one really knows where it came from, writes Claire Bates. The "at sign" was once an obscure ... The at sign, @, is an accounting and invoice abbreviation meaning "at a rate of" (e.g. 7 widgets @ £ 2 per widget = £14), [1] now seen more widely in email addresses and social media platform handles. It is normally read aloud as "at" and is also commonly called the at symbol, commercial at, or address sign. The Meaning of @ Symbol in Different Countries. While in the English language, @ is referred to as the “at sign,” other countries have different names for the symbol that is now so commonly used in email transmissions throughout the world. Many of these countries associate the symbol with either food or animal names. If you are simply messaging a friend, it is fine to use the @ symbol in place of the word “at.”. The same is true of most informal writing, as long as your meaning is clear. However, you would only usually use the @ symbol in formal writing if: You are writing an email address or someone’s social media handle. at sign, symbol (@) used primarily to direct electronic communication to specified entities, most notably in email addresses and social media handles. Before the late 20th century its primary use was commercial, where it signified “at the rate of.”. noun [ C ] uk / ˈæt ˌsaɪn / us / ˈæt ˌsaɪn / (also at symbol) Add to word list. the sign @, used for example in email and social media addresses: The host name is contained in the part of an internet email address that comes after the at sign (@). The at symbol is normally read aloud as "at". An at sign (@) is a symbol that is commonly used before the email domain name in email addresses. This symbol may also be used to informally substitute for the word at and is often used for a specific reason on social media. Today, the at sign is widely used as a tool of the internet. It is most commonly found in email addresses to separate the username from the domain name and in social-media handles (e.g., @dictionarycom), especially on Twitter and Instagram. Users started putting @ before someone's name to indicate that it was a reply, and the people at Twitter noticed and wrote it into the system so that when you hit the reply link, it automatically...

2024.11.25 00:40 keshksh17 One of the most exciting seasons I had
I became Athletic Bilbao manager and this was my fourth season. Last fixture in la liga was against BARCELONA at san mames and they are much better than my team but I had advantage of playing at home. The league standing before this match was. Barcelona 96 PTS and their goal difference 87 Real Madrid 95 PTs and their goal difference 87 My team 95 PTS and my goal difference is 66 So, by doing simple maths I had to win this match The match begins and I scored first and my team managed by the defensive mentality to secure the first half of the match. In the second half Barcelona had better chances than me but my goal keeper kepa arrizablaga did brilliant saves and in the injury time I managed to score the second goal to win the match and the first la liga title for Bilbao form long time ago It was one of the best seasons I had in the game.

Can anyone suggest some good books for learning pentesting, specifically for web? Currently learning on THM, but would like more educational materials to supplement.
If anyone has any other training to suggest, especially real-world things I can do to learn, I’m open to that as well. I’m on HTB too to practice. Thanks.

2024.11.25 00:40 Chai_Marshmallow 30 [M4F] #NYC - Nerdy Guy looking for Connections
I'm a 30 year old guy living in NYC and looking for someone to vibe with and develop a relationship with them. I'm a pretty easy going and relaxed person. Currently working in the tech industry and been loving it so far! I have a mix of introvert and extrovert energy where I love to go out for concerts and events but love to relax at home with a good cup of tea on the couch. I am pretty nerdy but do enjoy doing all sorts of things in my free time. Physically, I'm 6 feet tall, white, wear glasses, thin/decent shape and have dark blonde hair. Once we start talking, I would be more than happy to swap selfies.
For hobbies, I like doing all sorts of things such as cooking/baking (always happy to swap recipes!), traveling, reading comics/manga, playing board/video games, live music, exploring the city in search of great food/cafes, and boba. This year I will try to cut back up bubble tea but do love drinking it! Ive been cooking since college and have gotten pretty good. It's been fun looking at recipes online and YouTube and making them at home. I'm a big fan of manga and comics and usually read them pretty often. I'm trying to jump start my Yelp reviews of restaurants so I'll definitely be moving around the city to review and find new food to try out!
Mainly looking in NYC and the northeast area (22+) but if you feel like we could be a nice match then feel free to message or chat!

2024.11.25 00:40 bpm0009 Is this a budget 3-way switch or wired wrong?
Recently bought a house and in the basement is what I thought was a 3-way switch. However, when either switch is in the "off" position the other switch doesn't work.
In the double switch wall box I see a red wire and white wire going into the same Romex out of the wall box. There was a black line wire wrapped around them before going into the switch. Both switches are wired like the picture of the back of the switch. The single switch wall box has all 4 red, white, black and ground wires coming from the same Romex into the box.
I'm at a loss, is it wired wrong or is this the budget version of a 3-way switch?

2024.11.25 00:40 TickingOfTheClocks Does anyone else get dreams with musical numbers, or is this just a silly thing my brain does?
I frequently have dreams that involve one or more musical numbers, though I never recall the tunes or lyrics when I wake up. I do enjoy musicals a lot, and I have my whole life, which is probably a contributing factor, but I know lots of other people who like musicals and I've never heard anyone else mention musical numbers in their dreams. Is this just another silly facet of my personal psychology, or does anyone else have musical dreams?

2024.11.25 00:40 Spirited_Respect_578 Cat would rather be with me than it's owners
Ive typed this out a lot so I'll try to keep it short, there's been this cat that's been living somewhere near my house as it would appear randomly to look for food, at first it was incredibly afraid of me to the point I would be really far from it but if I walked towards it would run away from me, this got slightly better when I started feeding it food but not by much, it would only eat if I was far away enough, it eventually was able to eat from my hands but it would run away if I made any sudden movements, it eventually let me pet it and it would rub its face on my arm and stuff but usually it would go back to being scared of me the next day, until now, I guess it completely switched because it's never been this friendly towards me, it was about 2 days ago it just ran towards me out of the blue and it was following me around for a couple hours, it let me pet it, it was showing me it's stomach, gave me a couple soft bites on the hand, generally it was very playful, I had to go back inside eventually and I assumed it would go back to wherever it was living but I went out again after a couple hours and it was still there waiting for me (which made me feel a little bad about keeping it out there) the next day it turned out it had been under the house waiting for me the whole night, and this comtinued into today, both days it was just chilling outside and following me a couple times, it even let me pick it up.
The strange part is that it's not a stray, it actually has owners that live nearby because I saw a bunch of missing cat posters a few weeks ago, buy before I could put the number down they got washed away in a hurricane, the cat has been living outside or near my house for about a year and it doesn't even have a scratch considering it's been through 2 whole hurricanes with no protection, (and also considering potential predators) but even when it didn't want to be near me it would just stay out there instead of going back to its owners, even more so now that it's actually been pretty freindly.
Can anyone here provide any potential reasons as to why this is? This cats behavior has been pretty strange the whole time, it was scared of me despite having owners (although the posters did say it was shy) before now it went from being friendly with me to the very next day going back to being scared of me, now it's acting normal but it still would rather hang around me than just go back to its owners

2024.11.25 00:40 Piratey_Pirate My controller isn't being registered 90% of the times I launch the game. Anyone able to help?
I have the GoG version of Divinity Original Sin 2 installed on my PC. I have my steam deck in the living room docked to my TV. Both are hardwired. My controller is a PS4 dualshock.
I am able to interact with the steam UI on my deck with my controller, but when I launch the game, I can't play it. The starting screen with the prompt "press any key or A" (to determine input method) doesn't go away. If I click the PS button on my controller, the steam deck menu pops up and I can navigate through that. It's just the game not reading the controller.
What's really weird is that it works sometimes. I'll restart my deck, restart the game, restart steam on my PC - eventually a combination will work. I cannot figure what exactly is resolving the issue but it's at least a 20 minutes ordeal every time I want to play this game.
