Hopefully they actually use the pool and don't end up getting sucked into something on TV.

I still remember one of the questions on my written driving test from almost 30 years ago. It was something like:

A group of pedestrians start crossing the road in front of you, just as the light turns green for you. What do you do?

• Honk your horn and yell at them.
• Nothing, just wait for them to finishing crossing.
• Rev your engine to scare them into crossing faster.
• Hit one to teach the rest a lesson.

I was so tempted to pick the last option.

So here are some timely tips to help protect your location privacy.

The article explains each one in detail, but the list is:

• Disable Mobile Advertising Identifiers
• Audit Your Apps’ Trackers and Permissions
• Disable Real-Time Tracking with Airplane Mode
• Separate Devices for Separate Purposes

What a lovely false equivalency!

What happened to "my body, my choice?" I choose to put vaccines in my body.

Who comes up with this shit?

IIRC from last time, someone on Reddit suggested digging a vertical hole (smaller visual footprint in an aerial search), covering the body with yogurt (to speed up decomp), and then burying a dead animal above the body (to throw off the cadaver dog's handlers).

We had talked briefly a few times prior to my approaching her.

So it wasn't completely out of the blue. I feel like this part is pretty critical. You had established yourself in a positive way before making the ask. If your first-ever interaction with her had been asking her out on a date, I doubt it would have gone as well.

I'm glad to see someone linked to this video. No one ever believes me when I tell them this is the way.

Less of this, please.

The scam in question, from the article:

McKcraken said he never requested a tree removal service and didn’t want any trees at his Forest Hills house — which he’s trying to sell — removed.

“They’re trying to target vacant houses because the owners won’t know,” he said. “So that they can post themselves as the owner, and the owners won’t be home to stop it and won’t be home to notice it if the tree services do show up.”

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said the scheme begins with a scammer calling or emailing a tree service company for a quote on how much it would be to cut down trees. After receiving an estimated amount, they send the company a faulty check for more than needed.

Before the company realizes the checks are null and void, the scammer asks the company to pay back the difference.

“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”

Best guess just by looking at the photo is too much butter and I'm guessing you didn't chill the dough before you baked them.
