roughly half of the comment deletions from 2024 were attributed to non-diamond users, which is probably to a large extent system-automatic flag handlings for comment flags
@RMunroe that alt text is only problematic because bq is such a tiny unit... it's like the gram calorie of radioactivity... if that was an Sv that would be quite appropriate to have in a HAZMAT container
It's basically the difference between: if (transaction.IsPaid) and if (transaction.Payments.Select(p => p.Amount).Sum() >= transaction.Basket.Items.Select(i => i.Price).Sum())
