  1. Just yesterday I was thinking That it is kind of sad how many of the songs I really like are pretty depressing. One that came to mind was Genesis home by the sea I like a little bit by a lot of bands one of the few musicians I will listen to just about everything they write is Loreena McKennitt
  2. Huh, I don't read the press much. Who got caught?
  3. Yeah but now I am terrified of such... I think it was my mom's computer, though and I think I got it cleaned up... We have mutual access on one account. We even got her a new computer but she doesn't know how to use it so I don't think she is. Does anyone have any suggestions for best malware protection? We are using Viper, or vipre, or whatever it is called. I have some kind of G-I bug, and don't feel up to going over to the PC.
  4. Good Luck Nolgroth. Anybody know why the IRS now wants State Drivers license information? not "required" supposedly...
  5. I keep thinking, "I know my middle name is not JOB..."
  6. My wife's job was just eliminated after 25 years. Every time I think we might be finding a smoother path... I feel like going somewhere and screaming F*** I think I will try to split some tough as Hell firewood, see if it relaxes me a little.
  7. Sounds like that's where the computer lab "insultants" from the u-dub ended up working
  8. Thanks guys. I am curious to learn whether it was Chinese, Russian, Nigerian, or local.
  9. They got almost 10k, hit for another 5 this AM, but it looks like I got that stopped. Police report, Credit Union's Fraud department is on the case. It will be interesting to see what turns up. I am likely to have a problem next time someone is going on and on about how "Hackers" are misunderstood good guys... I have very little sympathy for predatory, parasitic thieves and other criminals.
  10. I think I have a photo of my old dog and cat cuddling up tight...
  11. TOnight I found out that some scum sucking parasite has managed to get access to my accounts and transfer out a very large sum of money. It was actually my wife's money, an early inheritance. I cannot reach anyone at my credit union, as it is Sunday Night. There goes my perfect attendance record at work... I am going to have to be sitting on the doorstep when they open in the AM. I can't even block the account...
  12. I hate RPN, and don't remember any problems with my TI way back when, it showed you exactly what you were doing, you just made sure you had the right number of parentheses... If I recall correctly, of course...
  13. Probably one of the Springfield Armory XD series, or the EAA Witness line. Both fit my hand better than most double stack design. One nice thing about the latter is convertible nature, 9mm, .40, 10mm, or .45 on same frame. Steel or polymer versions available. Though I am pretty happy with my Kimber, .45 cartridge is bulky and low capacity. .40 is IMO a good compromise. Kahr might be a good option. I have not had much experience with S&W semi autos. I can certainly see a role for the Springfield Xds guns, super compact but effective calibers. But they are specialized for concealed carry.
  14. Drillings are fairly common, "vierlings" more rare. If I had a lotto winning, it might be fun...
  15. 6.5x55 is not super common here, but has its adherents... rabid ones! I bought one for my wife. It is a superb cartridge, and if I could have only one medium caliber RIFLE, it would be in my top 5 choices. .308, .30-06, 7mm mauser or 7.92 mauser would be the others. 6.5x55 and 7mms are probably the best balanced, realistically. If I could only have ONE centerfire cartridge rifle, the traditional choice would be .375 H&H. Though handloading would be required for some roles;-) Sorry, rambling digression over
  16. Sadly, there is no such thing as justice in international relations. No wonder Poland is upgrading their military...
  17. All complicit, it sounds like, and certainly fits a hate crime IMO. Probably not worth execution(I think they sound like wastes of air, but I could possibly be over reacting), but all should spend years in prison.
  18. I wish I had that excuse... just half asleep and in a hurry.
  19. I am being retrained to a new role at work. at least 3 times the work, no increase in pay... Theoretically the training could be marketable... theoretically.
  20. IMO this iThrow the judge and the pes the kind of shit that lead to the creation of "The Punisher." both the judge and the cop sound like they need general population.
  21. Sadly not surprising. Gotta keep their stooge on the payroll.
  22. Well, given the last couple years, we could build a special prison for former cops... but then we'd have to make sure it didn't turn into a country club...
  23. A nice position of no authority. In solitary confinement because general population would be torture and murder.
  24. I loved the weird science song, movie was fun.
