You wanna know terrifying? Try hearing a fisher-cat scream at 3am, while ripping a squirrel to shreds in a tree near your home. They sound like a woman being murdered, no fucking joke.
so this is one of the first "memes" i guess you could say i remember from the earliest days of funny pictures on the internet. something reminded me of it so i need to post it here. anyone who has ever tried to sell something on the internet understands.

As if I needed a reason to be more proud to live here.
I woke up from an afternoon nap and going through my head was, “all we hear is radio gaga, radio googoo..”. And I’m thinking where the fuck did that come from? I mean I saw Queen when I was little, but my favorite albums were from the mid-phase, Day at the Races and News of the World. I like most of the old stuff too and of course Live Killers and Jazz. I wasn’t big on the later day stuff but it wasnt that I hated it. But I couldn’t say when the last time might have been that I heard that. Sometimes good shit will get stuck in my head, sometimes annoying. I once thought about making a thread of stuck in my head, but I was lazy. It’s about time for a drink.

Queen's Live Aid performance is one for the ages. Love the crowd on this song.

well it snowed 8" over the last 36 hours here in MN but I leave for Florida and golf and 80+ degrees tomorrow morning. this work day cannot end soon enough
OMG I would die. Where Magazine had bad image placement a few times where there was a partial covering of the E which made Where look like Whore instead. Where the fuck was the editor or proofer on this? Shit, google it.
We currently have winds gusting to 60 mph and sleet or graupel. (I cannot wrap my head around the difference between the two.)
I've never heard this word before. I'm fairly convinced that Big Weather routinely invents new phrases to keep the masses afraid. "Watch out, this snowstorm forming involves unprecendented levels of BOMBOGENESIS!". Shut up, Brad. Just say we're getting 5 inches of snow and stop talking.

Graupel is when falling water droplets meet up with falling snowflakes and freeze on contact.
Sleet is frozen raindrops and can be from partially melted snow as it falls. Sleet can sometimes happen when it's fairly warm at the surface provided there is a warmer layer further up and a colder one below it that causes the precipitation to freeze
Hail is formed high up in the atmosphere when a portion of the (usually) cumulonimbus cloud is in a layer of the atmosphere that is below freezing.

I've read all that but I just don't get how the end result is different. I mean, hail I get. But graupel and sleet just seem like the same thing. I don't care what happens to weather before it gets to me.
You're right. The end result is pretty similar though sleet is usually in the form of pellets and graupel is more clumpy and softer most of the time. Sleet can also form when drops hit a freezing layer closer to the ground, so it didn't necessarily have to begin as snow that melted whereas graupel is snow but snow that falls with rain where those drops freeze on the flakes. You guys have a lot more experience with frozen precipitation than I do, but I think I could probably guess right between sleet and graupel more often than not.
A couple of years ago, some people called my grandparents late one night saying they were the police and had arrested my little brother with a kilo of cocaine in his car. A guy even got on the phone saying he was my brother and he needed her to bail him out. They told her she would have to pay in like $10,000 worth of gift cards or something nuts like that. There was a lot wrong with what they were saying, so my grandmother was suspicious and called my aunt (I think she was still not 100% certain it was fake and was worried about getting him in trouble with my parents), who called my mom who called my brother who was safe at home. I can't remember what all happened, but I think my aunt called the people back and called them on the scam, and I'm sure they reported it to the police, but I don't think there was much they could do. It's crazy business, but people wouldn't try shit like this if it didn't work at least some of the time.
Agreed. I had a guy with a foreign accent call me about wrecking his car in "the parking garage." We got into it and I hung up. He called back, and I told him I knew he was at the Hilton downtown because I tracked his number and that I was sending the police over to visit. I hate some scam and con artists. Fux.
My boss got one of those Nigerian scams through the fax at work. Like legit, someone has died with the same last name but we can split it if you put your name on it and send me so much money. THROUGH THE FAX!! We all had a good laugh about it, but the truth of the matter is, it must have worked in the past.

Some people called my grandma a couple times claiming to be the local sheriff's office. Told her she needed to pay them like $800 dollars in overdue speeding tickets or they were going to come arrest her.
My grandma was 75 at the time and hadn't really driven in years. Also, I honestly doudt she ever drove over the speed limit in her life.
Anyway, I don't think they ever caught the people doing it but I'm sure they made some money. My grandma was terrified and would have likly gave them a card number if she had one.
My other grandma got calls from some "free cruise" scam. Ran by a man named Peter Parker.

Someone pulled something similar with my grandparent. They said he called and said he was me and that "I" was in an accident and needed bailing out for DWI. "I" hurt my jaw so that's why "I" sounded different. "I" didn't want them to tell my parents because "I" didn't want to get in trouble. Luckily, they just hung up and called my dad.
reminder to everyone that the key in the above is the IRS never calls you. They only communicate via paper mail. And if you ever receive something in the mail from the IRS and aren't sure if it is legit, PM me and I'll be happy to attempt verify it.
Similar story here. A couple years back someone called my great-grandmother - about 94 at the time - and told her that I was hurt in a car accident in Texas and needed money or something like that. I was at work and then came to the office and saw that my phone had blown up; luckily my Grammy was living with my grandparents and they made sure to call me before just sending over any money.

Pharmacy scam was to call using the deaf interpreter service. They would claim to be from a country that Trump trashed. They needed a LARGE qty of diabetic supplies mailed. Could put it on their oh so legit credit card. And you couldn’t tell them to fuck off because you were talking to the interpreter.
Ugh. I just applied to a job only to find out in a separate job posting that the hiring manager was my least favorite boss ever. I feel dirty for having given him the power to reject me.
