I had a fencing class in high school. I was surprised by how ritualized it is. And even more surprised that the scripted moves work better than flailing around.

Two purchases in a row from Amazon that ended up being scams, several low-quality products failing on me, and two Kickstarters that I've been unhappy with the creator of, despite having been happy with their previous efforts.

Re: Random randomness
My kids have a play kitchen that gets used almost every day. One of the "burners" has a button on it that makes different noises depending on which pan you put on it. I.E. When you put down the frying pan, it sounds like frying eggs.
Only problem...the saucepan (which I assume is supposed to sound like boiling water) sounds exactly like a water bong. I chuckle every time I hear it, and haven't yet figured out a good answer to "why are you laughing dad?"

Re: Random randomness
Turns out that contacting poison ivy is no walk in the park (it was at the edge of my garden, actually). Both of my legs are an angry itchy red, stippled with painful blisters and hard scaly skin. Finally went to the doc today after it became clear that it's getting worse before it's gonna get better; he gave me prednisone (oral cortisone) and something that suppresses itching...these will give me some relief but it's just gotta run its course. Turns out that the rash keeps spreading long after all the urushiol has been washed away.
Guess I should consider myself lucky that I got through 60 years without ever needing to know this.

You're gonna need an ocean

... Three Nigerians sentenced to 235 years in prison for online scamming
Well, NO, that's not the reason .. as my momma always said .. If little johnny commits wire fraud, does that mean you have to as well?
... Three Nigerians sentenced to 235 years in prison for online scamming
25 May 2017, Iain Thomson
A court in Mississippi has sentenced three Nigerian men to 235 years in prison for running online scams that duped people out of tens of millions of dollars.
Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, 30, was sentenced to 95 years in prison today, with associates Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31, getting 115 years and Femi Alexander Mewase, 45, getting 25 years. A jury found all three guilty of mail fraud, wire fraud, identity theft, credit card fraud and theft of government property.
Ayelotan and Raheem were also found guilty of conspiracies to commit bank fraud and money laundering, which explains their longer sentences. The three were part of a 21-person case bought by US authorities against an accused gang based in Nigeria and the US. Twelve of them have already pled guilty.
Based on their testimony, the gang has been operating since 2001 and ran a variety of schemes, including so-called romance scams where the lonely and credulous are persuaded to shell out for plane tickets and medical costs to meet a sweetheart who never shows up.
Such rackets are depressingly successful. Last year a British bean counter was cheated out of $150,000 in just such a romance scam and a British woman lost $1.6m over a ten-month period.
The gang would also use these clueless romantics to shift money from other rackets via Western Union and MoneyGram, or to resend goods bought with stolen credit and debit cards to countries where they could be sold for a profit.
The group was arrested by South African police in a joint operation with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and the US Postal Inspection Service. More arrests are possible, but they are unlikely to put a dent in the situation for long.
According to the International Police Organization (Interpol), West African scammers pulled in over $3bn in online rackets over the past three years. The international police force said the reason the area is such a hive of online criminality is because of low employment prospects in the region for computer specialists.

I'm so glad to live close to strip club nirvana, I'd dislike being duped out of $150,000. Well, $150,000 at one time anyway, $200 at a time is much more palatable.KDH wrote:.

Re: Random randomness
So I figure I am about >< this far getting a company cell phone and may even be forced to get one before the company does their next round of negotiations and purchases.
The good news is, I think the first thing I'm going to do is install a bunch of restaurant aps, so I can order food at the touch of a button when I'm getting in the car. Because ordering by Internet isn't lazy easy enough. I want to be able to establish "this is what I order" and then only ever push like two buttons after that when I'm hungry and about to get in a car and go pick up food. That might be the single best amenity available to a human being in the 21st century. I am really looking forward to having it at my disposal.
