  • I spent a dozen years managing auto service centers from '87-'99. Chevrolet Z-71 owners were by far the biggest dickheads I had to deal with on a daily basis. Back then, Ford and Dodge truck owners were all just fairly normal folks, but something about those Z-71's seemed to attract the most extreme shitwillies...

  • Thank you. That clarifies things for me. All this time I've been using smartphones and I didn't know this was a thing. I use my calendar a lot, so I assume for something to appear in it like that, it needs to be put there intentionally. Not gonna lie, but when that last one appeared right before my eyes I got straight-up spooked.

  • yeah, but I haven't downloaded or installed anything for years. I can't stand staring at these tiny screens for very long, and for me, most internet surfing on mobile is an exercise in frustration. Aside from the maps and a crossword puzzle app I've had for years, all I use it for is the phone, texts, and sometimes work emails and IM's, and of course the calendar, which I rely on quite a bit. Mostly, tho, I live behind a desktop PC.

  • hmm... they reference my personal email addy, which is a yahoo acct I've had for decades. It's associated to my Samsung acct, which I guess I have to assume is how they're getting to my calendar. My work email (everything, really) is through Google, and I get calendar notifications through them all the time, which I expect. I've never seen anything associated with my yahoo acct tho. It's just weirding me out I'm getting spammed the same way I get notified for a work meeting or a doctors appointment...

    *Edit: Adding that I just went in to my app permissions and turned off the Yahoo Mail apps access to Alarms and Reminders. Hopefully they stop...

  • We have LED street lights and our driveway is lined with crepe myrtles. Every evening after dark, I can see the grid pattern of the individual LEDs in the shadows on our driveway. It's trippy when there's a slight breeze, and all these little "grid shadows" are moving around overlapping each other

  • There doesn't appear to be too many bad examples in here, so allow me.

    I smoked cigarettes for a long time and, at 59, got to experience lung cancer. I'm currently 62 and still dealing with it. I'd probably be dead now if the mass in my lung hadn't adhered to the back of my chest cavity and eroded into one of my ribs causing a ridiculous amount of pain. Lung cancer usually goes undetected until it spreads to other places, like the brain, so I guess I got lucky. It did pop up on an adrenal gland, but we nuked that one too. I have another small mass in my other lung that will probably have to be radiated too. I'm also dealing with emphysema and a mouth half full of fucked up teeth. (So glamorous!)

    Having no wind in my sails and trying to talk around and eat with both upper and lower partials just sucks all around. I'm only 62, but I feel like I'm 82, and I only have myself to blame.

  • In the olden days, when people got married a lot younger, there were probably lots of grandparents in their thirties

  • I once met a 32 year old lady holding her 1 year old grandson. She told me she had her daughter at 16 and her daughter had to out-do her and have her baby at 15. At the time, I was her age with my own small children...

    On another note. I was close friends with a fellow who was the youngest of 10 kids from the same mother and 2 different fathers. Her first 8 kids were fathered by a man who died in the 1940's. She ended up with another man and had 2 more sons, one born in 1958 and then my friend in 1962. She was in her 50's when she had him! Unsurprisingly, my friend was orphaned by the age of 12 and ended up being raised by his older siblings along side nieces and nephews who were often times older than he was.

  • haha this reminds me of a pair of flip-flops my wife had. They were left in the car, and one of them somehow ended up in the back window where it got super-heated by the sun. It was curled up and half the size of its mate when I found it. Couldn't tell you what they were made of...

  • Gabbard and White House 'lying' about intel on Russian interference in 2016, ex-CIA official says

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that they got the intelligence through a channel they were already monitoring, and Obama decided to sit on it specifically to avoid the appearance of exactly this.
