AlbieQuirky posted:Do you live somewhere where there are mostly birds with less interesting songs like crows and jays and sparrows? Pretty much. Crows in particular. We get some absolutely huge swarms of crows around Vancouver, literally almost darkening the sky when they fly over. In the evening they gather in miles long swarms and follow the main highway toward Burnaby, and then go roost in a single spot by a local technical college. It's a scene straight out of The Birds when they do.

Cross Post from the common scams thread in A/T: A genetic-testing scam is targeting seniors and ripping off Medicare The 86-year-old woman in rural Utah doesn't usually answer solicitations from strangers, she said, but the young couple who knocked on her front door seemed so nice. Before long, she had handed over her Medicare and Social Security numbers — and allowed them to swab her cheek to collect her DNA. She is among scores of older Americans who have been targeted in a scam that uses DNA tests to defraud Medicare or steal personal information. Fraudsters find their victims across the country through cold calls, door knocking, email, Facebook ads and Craigslist. They also troll low-income housing complexes, senior centers, health fairs and antique shops. Sometimes they offer ice cream, pizza or $100 gift cards. Some callers claim to work for Medicare, according to a fraud alert issued Friday by the Federal Trade Commission. Capitalizing on the growing popularity of genetic testing — and fears of terminal illness — scammers are persuading seniors to take two types of genetic screenings that are covered by Medicare Part B, according to experts familiar with the schemes. The tests aim to detect their risk for cancer or medication side effects. The scammers bill Medicare for the tests. The patients, who might never receive any results, typically pay nothing. But they risk compromising personal information and family medical history. And taxpayers foot the bill for tests that may be unnecessary or inappropriate. Scammers can really cash in: Medicare pays an average of $6,000 to $9,000 for these tests, and sometimes as much as $25,000, according to the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Health and Human Services. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/07/27/medicare-fraud-identity-theft-genetic-testing-scams-target-seniors/1836394001/

It'd be easy enough for the middle-aged lady to be another filter. Probably more entertaining, too.

Aleph Null posted:Does she have access to the MCU de-aging tech, because, how? You could read the article rather than just the headline. Everyone knew she was using a filter because it's a filter and obviously fake but she had a nice voice so people were giving her camgirl money anyway, getting off on the mystery.

A little late on the stray cat grandma, but that's my hometown. What the article failed to mention is that animal control refuses to pick up stray cats. Just out and out won't take them. So you can either feed them, or watch them starve because they're way overpopulated, thanks to a hoarder house that released over a hundred some years back. On the plus side, we'll never have a mouse problem. We also have the worlds first strip mall built on a garbage dump. It's one grocery store and a dozen empty big box stores. Why'd everyone move out? Turns out that a garbage dump isn't very stable, and will leak methane into any structure placed on top of it. Wooo.

We live in hell world, so I feel like feeding strays and having feral cats around killing birds is way less of a worry than fitting our cars with Mad Max-style armor before the incoming apocalypse.

The trick is you need to feed the stray cats to something. For maximum social benefit I suggest the homeless.

Ironically, it was a felony murder, not a real murder. He failed to commit any actual murders.
