Many years ago (early 2000s maybe), I lived on the road for work and stayed at a lot of hotels. I would find random shares open on people's machines, then fill their entire hard drive with cat pictures. I usually left a…
In a previous life, I supported a local govt and I had a judge get a different variant of the cryptowall virus 6 times before I took his "work" PC away. His real work PC was controlled by the state and not me, hence the…
I have had some issues getting sent to collections before I get any bill, or not sending me the right bill and still sending me to collections after I try to figure out what I actually owe. I learned to just pay like…
I've worked with a few police departments in a previous life. For the last few years I worked with the bigger dept they all wore cameras for their entire shift. They still let people go for small amounts of weed, or odd…
There was a site called something like: pleaserobmyhouse.com It just scraped social media for posts about people going on vacation and when they'd be back.
I have had an amazon card for a few years now. I can't say anything bad or good about it. I get 1% back (or points to spend at amazon) for any purchases, 2% points back for gas, and 3% points when I use it at amazon.…
I wish. I used to work at an Apple repair shop years ago. We never could figure out why they had so much in their manuals.
Yeah. The healthcare part made me lol. I put in the "work," live in an awesome location, and I have to fight insurance damn near every time the Dr puts me through any procedures. That's not counting the awful healthcare…
This is exactly right. I used to work at a hospital and some clinics in a previous life. The administration went forward with a new EMR system without actually getting the users to "test" it beyond a webinar. I left…
If that's the same issue I had, it was a defective nvidia chip. I went through 2 logicboards and I know several of my friends who had 2012 MBPs went through a few too. We used to be an Apple shop, and we had a lot come…
A few of my friends have spent some time in jail / prison due to smoking pot and the "three strikes" rule along with it. They were in there ranging from overnight to a few weeks to months. One developed PTSD from it and…
one of the weirder numbers I got a call from was 000000000000 it made my old phone kind of glitch out because the number was a bit too long.
I'm in a bit of insurance hell at the moment. Depending on when I call them during the month, I might owe money or I might not.... Before the colonoscopy, they said I would owe $500 for my deductible, which is correct.…
>> My daughter didn’t ask to have a writer for a mother, but that’s who I am. Amputating parts of my experience feels as abusive to our relationship as writing about her without any consideration for her feelings and…
>> I'm sure they'd love to pursue perfection if they were paid decent wage and not pressured to be as fast / cheap as possible. That and depending where you live, there's next to no money for road work. At the local…
/incoming rant but related to your story It sucks so bad. My brother and I got parasites from water at some restaurant in GA. Down there they were able to help him, but up in the north, the Drs have no clue on how to…

/might be related I've seen something similar in regards to a normal DUI case. The defense lawyer talking about 1970's RADAR tech in airplanes, NTFS filesystems, Windows Server, "md5 hashing protocols" and other items…
I barely noticed it back in the day too. I had a friend who was into piracy quite a bit more who complained about getting the wrong movie or getting the wrong mp3s. I don't know if I ran into that issue, but I wasn't…
I'm also interested if OP will post their medical history, since they don't mind it being public. But I doubt anyone making that argument would actually do that. Kind of a rough argument, but maybe it's just because…
I've worked with a few small town USA type law enforcement agencies. No big city ones, so think towns around a few thousand people total, or a county with 15k people total. This won't reflect the majority of the US, but…
I've been toying with the idea of getting into ham radio type stuff, so it's always been interesting to me. After working with the local detectives / police, it isn't "very" difficult to find where a jammer is. /I never…
I've seen this happen in the midwest US too. Given the choice between jail, being outside, or maybe a shelter if you live around a bigger city, I know what i would pick for the winter.
Reading the transcripts from the board meetings is a pretty bad time, but it reminds me of the board meetings in my neck of the woods. It sucks.
I don't have much to add, other than I have had some good results with using the application "4k video downloader" to grab playlists on youtube. I'm not a fan of the generic name, but it does what it sets out to do and…
