    Neighbor likely avoided a home invasion by lying

    Yes. They take your money first, then your guns...if you have any, then anything they can sell at a pawn shop or trade for drugs and more guns. And it's always 3 or more home-invaders - at least one to hold you and your family at gunpoint while the rest ransack your house.

    He also lied about it being police advise, so yes, I assume he just had a light-bulb moment.

    What were you grateful for in 2025

    Like every year, there were good times and times that weren't so good. I'm grateful for my wife all the time.

    Neighbor likely avoided a home invasion by lying

    :cautious: Fortunately for everyone, amateur criminals just keep getting stupider. Actually, a better word is deluded; they're way more deluded than they used to be.

    Neighbor likely avoided a home invasion by lying

    I stepped out to get the mail today when Rob, a guy who lives across from me yelled "Yo, Frank! You got a minute?" Of course I do, so Rob came running over to tell me that last night at 9:47pm, someone knocked on his door. No one in his family was expecting anyone that late on Christmas Eve, so...

    Refilling Your Gas Tank

    To go places, silly... ...so I guess, convenience? Meesh pulls into a station whenever the car gets down to about half a tank. Prices stay pretty consistent here; up and down by just a few pennies per gallon, and I haven't seen a "price war" for about a decade, so it doesn't matter what...

    If you have a Christmas tree....

    My wife likes the Santa Clauses and the North Pole village put back in the closet right after Christmas, so those will go away today, and all the boughs and wreaths, and the nativity and the tree will all be packed away on the 6th. I even know approximately what time on the 6th; around...

    Youtube: a solution for the mess.

    And you can turn History on and off. That's what I do; Off when it gets stupid, and then back On after a few weeks or so...until it gets stupid again.

    Youtube: a solution for the mess.

    I think it is required, because if you look way down in the description box, you'll find a one-line disclaimer. It doesn't usually specifically say "AI-generated"; it'll say "some material altered" or something similar. But I haven't see it on shorts, so the rule might only apply to videos over...

    Does anybody know what this is?

    For men who traveled on business a lot. Back in the mid-20th century, we were kind of obsessed with stashing the keys, watches, and cuff-links in a little tray or bowl every night.

    Yay for Paco! I failed to see that the corner snaps opposed each other...I thought it went corner on corner. 🤪 Confirmed...I totally need glasses. 😔 🥸

    Does anybody know what this is?

    Yeah, you're probly right. Disc blades are super thin and flat, but seems they would leave at least a faint impression. But it's obvious they held something circular. Some sort of card, maybe...something made of paper or thin plastic. I thought floppy discs for a minute, but they came in a...

    Oh...maybe not. Grampa's fabric cutting discs were only about 5"/12.7cm. I do think they're for storing disc blades, tho.

    I just remembered seeing something very similar to these in my grandfather's tailor shop! They held disc blades for cutting fabrics. His were leather, but that was 50yrs ago.

    For elves? They look only about 4" or 5" sq.
