    I read somewhere the other day, that so many cars use radar now for Blind Spot Monitor etc, that Radar detectors  are almost no good due to false alerts 

    The better new radar detectors will filter out the radar used on new cars.  I'm using a Uniden R7 and the latest firmware I recently downloaded added some new filters.  The bigger problem, especially in GA on I-95, is laser speed detection.  Really need (expensive) laser jammers.   I'm not ready to spend over $1000 just for that.

  2. I feel like I am living in a zoo.  We always have a lot of rabbits around the house, and today I saw the smallest bunny I can remember seeing.  

     

    Yesterday I saw a tortoise in the far back yard that is living under an old "parts" car.  He was well out in the clear and I wanted to get a picture of him but left my cell phone in the house.  Ran back to the house to get the phone and ran back to where he was, no more than a minutes time, and he was long gone.  Couldn't believe it.  Well today I saw him again today and as soon as he saw/heard me he turned around and VERY RAPIDLY returned to his hiding place.  Never knew a tortoise could "run" that fast.

     

    Yesterday I found a black snake entering my garage.  Shooed it away.  My bad for leaving garage doors open.  Today the doors were open as I was starting to clear out an area of the garage where there are boxes, tools, etc, and what did I see?  A pair of black snakes in the garage.  Looks like I am hosting a family of snakes.  😲 

     

    Then there is another issue with a bumper crop of poison ivy this year.  I'll start working on that problem next weekend.

     

    FYI, when you run over poison ivy with your lawn mower it just spreads like crazy.

    Saturday ES report, see man:

     

    Both itineraried ESs yielded the take, see man:

     

     -- ice-scraper = $1, deal man

     

    Wow, you are so lucky.  Those are rare and pretty much impossible to find in my area.

  4. Well, it's May and that means several things to me.

     

    First, it's the first weekend which means Derby weekend.  Near and dear to my heart having gone to dental school and done residency in Louisville many, many years ago (note I was careful not to trigger TBoneTX).  

     

    Secondly it means most of our snowbirds are finally headed north and soon we will be getting our town back.

     

    Third it means time to start preparing for hurricane season.  Will be checking generators and supplies and start restocking gasoline reserves.

    How AI is revolutionizing Internet fraud and romance scams

     

    Federal investigators warn that a new wave of romance scammers is using artificial intelligence to generate fake photos, audio, and even videos. This technological advancement makes it easier to pull off a romance scam and harder to spot one.

     

    Rao said, "It's chilling and it makes it hard for law enforcement to intervene."

     

    Prosecuting romance scammers can be challenging, in large part because many of them operate overseas. However, federal prosecutors have shown they will pursue cases aggressively when they have the opportunity. In 2021, 35 people in North Texas were indicted on federal charges related to romance scams that stole $17 million from more than 100 victims nationwide. In March, one of the women involved in the scheme received a 10-year prison sentence and was ordered to pay $2 million in restitution.

     

    If you have become a victim, experts say to contact your bank right away and tell them what happened. Also, report the crime to the Federal Trade Commission.

    Nothing really new here.  It's been going on for many years.

    Major rant, see and :ranting: man:

     

    This chica doesn't know what she's talking about, no man.  The BK burgers that taste the best are those that can be bought cheapest with use of coupons, si man.  And she left off the chicken sandwich, :bonk:  man.

     

    Furthermore, she has "no allegiance to the chain," no man, and "to be honest, hasn't stepped (sic) foot in a BK in years," no man.  :bonk:   What a loser, conclude we man!  :ranting:

    Burger King Burgers Ranked, Worst To Best

     

    Headed to Burger King?  You may have noticed that the menu is flooded with both old and new beefy offerings, making the task of selecting just one incredibly difficult.  To be honest, I haven't stepped foot in a Burger King in years — partially because I've been avoiding fast food like the plague, but also because I've been somewhat suspicious ever since I'd heard of the burger chain's struggles to stay in business and decline in popularity.  McDonald's still sits at No. 1 in sales among fast food joints, but there are plenty who say Burger King is far superior.  So, I thought sampling all of the burgers at Burger King would make for a good review since, after all, I have no allegiance to the chain.  [...]

    The BK double cheeseburger was my go to burger at the end of a long hard night of heavy drinking back in my undergrad days at the U of South Carolina in Columbia.  Then I went on to dental school in Louisville KY and was introduced to White Castle sliders.  Now that's a sack of "burgers" that keeps on giving for a couple of days, both coming and going.

    A police pursuit of a stolen vehicle through Hollywood on Thursday night came to an abrupt end as the car, an electric Tesla, ran out of battery in the middle of the road.

    According to stringer service KeyNews, the pursuit originated in Koreatown, in the area of Western Avenue and 8th Street, when the Tesla Model S was reported stolen around 11:35 p.m. Police pursued the car into Hollywood and was on the 101 Freeway at one point.

    Guess we will be seeing that one on the Car Chase channel over on Pluto TV.  Couldn't believe there was a channel dedicated strictly to car chases in the LA area.  Somehow I found myself wasting too much time watching this ridiculous channel, but I guess it's like watching a train wreck.

    I recall getting a ticket in my new Red Trans Am in Laurens county GA going 66 on I-16 West Bound(during the 55mps speed limit nonsense) I  had just come from a flight physical  at Hunter Army Airfield and was in My Class A's 1st LT Army uniform. I thought he might give me a break..  No way. I think he enjoyed sticking it to me. Probably a former enlisted man who despised a young flashy LT in a sports car. Anyway I made a few phone calls and got it taken care of so no harm no foul. What year was that? Probably 80 something. 

    Reminds me of the time I was driving from Darlington SC back to Columbia in my '71 Dodge Dart (please don't laugh).  I had just gotten a fancy new "radar detector",  Bearcat was the brand.  I also was doing at least 10 over and that darn new radar detector kept making noise and I thought there was something wrong with it.  Just about that time I saw the cop in the median.  Sure enough he pulled out to track me down.  I slowed right down and pulled that detector off the dash.  He followed right behind me for a couple of miles but didn't pull me over.  Only thing I could figure was that he was a SC fan and liked all the stupid bumper stickers I had on the back of the car.  "Go Gamecocks" and "Rednecks turn orange in the fall".  One thing I'm sure of is that he wasn't a Clemson fan.  That would have been '78 or '79.
