Congrats all, now we need about 90,000 more to the next digit!

Grumble: "We are experiencing a higher than expected number of calls at the moment..."

Given that message never changes whatever time of day or whatever day of the week it is, why the $&*^^$£ have they not changed their expectations?

Their expectation is ZERO calls. Any more and it is a failure.

Last time they really got close to that POTUS made it clear they could not strike. I'd expect the same, especially as he likes to ride.

Several roadways were underwater on Tuesday. According to Caltrans, two hotspots were State Route 110 at Via Marisol near Highland Park, where flooding across all lanes led to stopped traffic. A vacuum truck was called in to clear the road, and all traffic was being diverted at Avenue 60, according to a spokesperson for Caltrans District 7, which includes Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

Grumbles been waiting 1 hour for the US$1.9 BILLION POWERBALL lottery results and finally find out why no numbers...
https://www.sacbee.com/news/lottery/article268406742.html
“Tonight’s Powerball drawing has been delayed due to a participating lottery needing extra time to complete the required security protocols,” California Lottery officials said in a social media post. “Powerball has strict security requirements that must be met by all 48 lotteries before a drawing can occur. When the required security protocols are complete, the drawing will be performed under the supervision of lottery security officials and independent auditors. “Winning numbers will be posted as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.

What red state ...

Correction - "the answer they think you want to hear"
They aren't always entirely right in interpreting the question.
They answer the question they wanted asked as opposed the one actually asked.
They consult a poll before answering to see how the wind blows.

Let's wake up this thread, it was locked already, can't have that. Less than 50 posts to go to the magic 10,000 posts.

Yes it would be a shame to not make the magic number. It is rumored something will happen when that happens. What no one knows.

Posting because noone else has posted here for the last 2 days.


Thank you I was feeling a little lost...

Do we need a word link thread so that doesn't happen?

FYI, email addresses are no longer the good old 127 characters of ASCII. Now "wide" characters are allowed. Unfortunately for us humans there are many different codes that will print as say "a". So Mr. spam knowing this will create an address that looks to human eyes exactly the same as a valid address of a trusted person. I don't know if domains are allowed to be "wide" characters, hopefully not, but if so such an address would be indistinguishable to human eyes from a real address and phishing would be easy peezy.

If my contact list is pilfered, then why am I only getting a fake Richard Haselgrove? Why is Richard only getting a fake Jacob Klein?

Perhaps a mutual friend?

A decade or more ago I gave a relative a very a little used email address of mine and within hours of them sending me their first message the spam started. Their machine was the source, had virus. Conflicker?
