Cute solution to skimmer detection. A plastic tool that fits into the card slot and over the keyboard. If a skimmer is installed then the difference in dimension prevents the tool from fitting flush.

"Google enlisting employees for a pilot program to work without internet access" due to cybersecurity reasons. Is it a good idea? Should we expect more IT/tech companies turning off internet?

One of our bank cards declined payment of our Amazon bill (no idea which or why) and now every Alexa device in our house has reset to factory settings.

Ok it seems our account has been reactivated. But the Alexa devices all seems to require manual setup.

Opened the freezer and a package of hamburger patties dropped out, smashing my toe.

It appears that revenge is indeed a dish best served cold.

Well played, Cows, well fucking played.

And that number is growing, soon we will be a fifth of the country.
