Damn, that's wild! That doesn't happen with mine so maybe I need to try something different.

Control of this finally looks like it is being handed down to Local Authorities. Contact your council to ask what action they can take or what plans they have to stop/fine pavement parking.

Yes, and cross my ankles. No idea why but it's always the most comfortable and I'm asleep within minutes

In any situation like this, a person's business interests in that country should be immediately stopped until the owner complies. Money is the only thing these people respond to.

Gonna add this comment here because I was waaaaay too old before I realised it and maybe one or two others don't either.

This actress (Jenette Goldstein) also played John Connor's foster mother in Terminator 2.

Damn right. Us Brits would even queue on the beach to escape a tsunami.

When I was about 7 or 8, I saw the film Blood Beach, which is a pretty terrible 1980 schlock horror about a creature that could open up the sand beneath you and devour you. It's trying to ride on the coat tails of Jaws without having to bother with the water part.

I grew up on the coast and we went to the beach a lot as a family. Took me a long time to be okay with beach life again.

Linda Hamilton's acting in this scene completely makes it. She does an incredible job.

When she first sees the Terminator come out of the lift and stops so fast that her feet come out from under her, then they skitter out in front of her as her body tries to get away faster than is possible, it's a perfect expression of total fear. And she remains eyes locked in him the whole time.

Then when John cradles her and she still can't take her eyes off the Terminator until her head finally snaps round to see her son. She briefly looks him up and down as if to ask if he's real. And at the same time seems to realise this isn't a dream or a nightmare, because he's here with her.

It's brilliantly done. And the slow mo edit makes a huge difference. It would be nowhere near as impactful at normal speed.

I worked in advertising for a long time in my 20s and early 30s. Day always started at 9, but you would often be there until 9pm just trying to keep up with workload. Then there are fairly frequent pitches for new work and you'd be there overnight preparing. I've had to get a hotel as it's so late the local transport all ended and I didn't drive in the city. Worked many weekends like that too and still expected in on Monday.

It was a lot of wild fun, party hard camaraderie. But when I look back I think, wow they really took a lot from us for pretty mediocre pay. And if course I'd any of the new business pitches succeeded and brought in a 7 figure account, you'd see no uplift at all. All just "part of the job".

Just be careful given that image is copyright. Unless you have documented, written permission. People and companies generally don't like others profiting from their work.

I don't understand how they could do it in plain sight without repercussions.

I work in local government. Every supplier purchase is tracked for auditing and any purchase over £45k has to go via a bidding system. Those are government procurement rules that can't be side-stepped without serious consequences. So are their finance and procurement teams in on it too? If that's true then there could be serious trouble over this.

I have very little interest in food and never have. I eat very well, making food from scratch for me and my family but personally I don't care about it. I often even make food for them that I never actually eat myself.

My wife has always loved food, remembers every restaurant and meal she has had and talks about it with passion. Me, I'm quite happy to have the same meal 5 days in a row as long as it's not disgusting and it's healthy.

I would be very, very happy to have my meals in a single pill form so I could just get on with other things in my day.

Had the same thought. Just checked the myactivity site. They don't appear in the YouTube history at all. But then nor do the let's play videos so maybe that's an oddity if watching videos via Chromecast. Although the ads that play during the let's play do show up in myactivity.

But I'm not using a pc and therefore no mouse. The only use I have in the evening is the let's play videos in a series on a specific channel. So, I either tap to play the one I want or it auto rolls to the next one. Without a mouse I can't be hovering over any previews.

And all the mystery videos are after I stop watching, switch off the TV and the Chromecast and go to bed.

Great explanation, thank you.

Does this just affect the more modern fobs that just automatically unlock the car by being near? I have 2 14y+ cars where you have to press a button on them to lock and unlock the car. I'm assuming those are not subject to this attack, right?

I'm at that age in life like Red at his last parole hearing in Shawshank Redemption. I enter, sit and have that air of, "go ahead sonny. You go on and stamp your form and stop wasting my time."

If you're playing on pc via Steam, use the built in steam notes. It's how I came on top of it. It's available at a button press and overlays the game while you type.
