yeah, this seems fake as hell. the coincidental timing, the clumsy on-the-nose nature of this incident, the "perp" calmly letting the guy take video of his (paper?) license plate...in what appears to be a parking lot? come on.

helpful, thanks. seems like it still needs an extra step. i was hoping that the paprika app had this native functionality so you can scan right into the app (i'm not a tech guy but i assume that there are OCR APIs out there...?)

$6,000 / 0.04 = $150,000. in other words, if OP had saved $150,000 and was withdrawing 4% per year, they would have the same $6,000 as what the app is generating. the analogy is imperfect, because presumably the OP is spending some ti

i appreciate the challenge this offers compared to wordle. NYT's spelling bee has a feature that i think you should consider implementing: a button and/or key press (e.g. space) that shuffles the remaining, unused letters.
