The FBI warns of the “Phantom Hacker” scam stealing $1B+ since 2024, mainly from those over 60. Scammers pose as tech support, banks, and government to steal funds. Advice: never allow remote access, verify calls with your bank, and consult trusted people first. news.yahoo.com/news/article...

Sorry to remind those with delicate sensibilities, but conversations about assault rifles should be had with this Uvalde classroom aftermath being a part of the conversation. Too many people argue hypotheticals, without acknowledging the reality of what assault rifles actually do.

Elon lay near death on the floor, Pam was hesitant to press the red button, which would immediately take down the ugly ICE Ape. She was told by the Emperor they would definitely not be targeting her. Her metallic bra began to tingle. The clawed hand came closer...would Pam act in time?

You know, I've been thinking. That thumb provides a lot of stability for the other 4 fingers when you're playing an E-flat tuba, especially when you have to move up and down scales in 16th notes. So the neocortex is tied to all the fingers that create, whether it's sounds or images or caresses.
