Turns out his headlights weren't very bright and were perfectly hidden behind the side mirror and pillar as I turned. Didn't see him til I was inches away, beside him. Fortunately I was somewhat on the right side, but its a fairly narrow road.
Oh you're just touchy because the sun woke you too early this morning.Quote:

I have starlings nesting in the eaves above my bedroom window. Those fuckers make some weird damn noises at 6:30am, from cat meows to chipmunk chirps.....
They don’t really annoy me that much, though
They're invasive and a nuisance, get rid of them.Quote:

Sure. Good luck getting rid of a bird introduced in 1890 or so.Quote:

Starlings are actually kinda cool they way they mimic.Quote:

Commenting on this only gets me blank looks from my girlfriend, though, and seems counterproductive to other goals.
So, I got an email yesterday, that looked to be from my credit union, with the subject line
In the email, which did have the proper logos and stuff, it said:Quote:
confidential!!Loan Letter
Gmail tells me it is a suspicious link today. Even when I click on it, it takes me to a "registration" page for the secure email, asking for my name and creating a password. Classic phishing scam look.Quote:
This is a secure message.
Click here by 2020-06-19 11:23 MDT to read your message.
After that, open the attachment.
I say fuck that. Log in to my bank, try to find "secure email" on it (very difficult), but when I click it won't display (may be an issue with my laptop's work firewall). So I log in to my app, but it doesn't have "secure email"?!?!? So I submit a help ticket, saying what's up, and the response I get is "yeah, that's a legit email, that's how we do it". What the everloving fuck, people? The lack of capitalization, spacing, and multiple exclamation points is how you send this shit out? Are you trying to desensitize us to phishing?
And I still can't read the damn thing.
And the only reason I vaguely assumed it was real is I am refinancing, closing tmw, and had to close my HELOC with them in order to do so.
Damn. That's rough.
I was assembling a router table and it has a lot more parts than I expected including about a dozen different sizes of fastener. I got to the step of mounting the router to the plate on the table and it says use #10-24 1/2 inch screws for my router model. I found what I thought were the correct ones so start screwing them in. I think you know where this is going: yes I used the wrong ones and couldn't get one of them back out. Tried everything else first and finally bought an extractor set, but the screw broke and I only got half of it out. Looking at the parts list now I see there are 1/2 inch screws that are #10-24 and #10-32 so I obviously picked the ones with the wrong thread pitch. If they are going to include screws that are that similar it seems like maybe they should put them in separate bags and label them. Just a thought. :nonono2:
There's no way that comes from a legitimate bank. I think your whole bank is fake. Probably incorporated in Russia.Quote:
