Here's the spam du jour today. Jeez. Major, major Federal felony charges, anyone? It reads just like the "I've hacked your XXXX account via my subtle malware, have the proof of your nasty porn-viewing habits, pay me bit-coins to preserve your privacy" scam letters, with the sexual blackmail thread ...

Noooo -- not wasted at all. They added Ice Cream and made Rocky Road!

Badum Kisssshhh....

Hey, think you scooped Dave on that one.

Yes, he did. Serves me right for being busy and distracted; I was wearing my Conehead costume to a party in the Sandwich Islands.

Chocolate Spill closes road in Germany

Worst dessert-related man-made disaster since the Boston Molasses Flood of 1919.

Ah, the insecurity death spiral...

There are so few honestly honest people in the world i can see how getting used to one could be a challenge I suspect that Shawna may come by her honesty and straightforward character quite naturally. She's a Pixie, after all. According to writings dating back to Devon in the 1800s, pixies are "gre...

So... no snark, no dark sarcasm in the classroom... this may prove to be a challenge for Castela to deal with.

So far, nothing bad has happened tonight, so maybe it wasn't a sign of anything bad would happen.

Depends a lot on what kind of bird it was.

If it was something like a sparrow, it wouldn't mean anything about your future.

On the other hand, if was an omen pigeon...

Frankly, they need to revise the system to use longer SSNs. Which need not be strictly numeric, but must be designed to be easily remembered. ... but must not contain any sequence of letters which any person or group in the country considers to be obscene, insulting, or otherwise objectionable.

Castel is suspicious of Shawna's intentions, Cas is still holding on to her rivalry in her subconscious.

Not so sure about that myself... she just seems to be a bit bemused by the fact that this friendship isn't quite like that friendship... that relationships don't have to include snark.

I think a similar situation for you old folks would be along the lines of your parents trying to act like Angus Young of AC/DC, or perhaps Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osborne, etc, and doing a very campy and very bad job of it. How does that translate? Eeesh. The adjective "shirtless" comes to mind, and in ...

MC Kath regrets nothing! For those of you too young to remember... Get off my lawn. And for those of us to old to have been aware of it when it passed by? :( My only excuse is that I was honoring the next generation's sacred right to have its own music and language, which is completely foreign to t...

We really would be able to start calling you "Dark Helmet".

Or, use standard answers, just enter them in a mix of Cyrillic, Korean, and Kanji! Ah, but if you do that, the "I am not a robot" captcha system may insist on taking a blood sample so that it can confirm your ancestry. After that, you'd be committed to having your phone's fingerprint scanner stick ...

So, when they decided to bring Luci "into the know", they told her a lot. She knows about the Time Forest, which implies that she likely knows that Shelly is a Sphinx. And, she apparently hasn't entirely forgiven Shelly for being a bit of a pain as a youngster. This may also mean that Jacqui is well...

The problem,of course, is they didn't specify which grandmother... And the solution of the problem is to lie your head off. Have a different "grandmother" for every site that asks you this question. Pick names out of the 1957 phone book from Budapest, or from historical records of the Siberian noma...

What I explain to customers is this. Create a spreadsheet. On the spreadsheet, put in the sites you have accounts, the name of your login, the email address associated with it, and a number that corresponds to a password. Separately, preferably on a physical medium, have a list of passwords, but al...

2012, I think, when he and Lakshmi eloped.

I can't recall any more recent references to him (or her).

I have a paper copy of passwords and usernames in a very strong physical safe, and a very close friend with a key to it. I’ll stick to that. That should work just as well. At least you're thought through the issue and done something effective to deal with it responsibly... I'd guess that most peopl...
