    I bought one years ago in Cancun. We were on vacation there but my wife was getting her MBA at the time and all she did was study. We bought a timeshare. $5,000. Never went there, never used it. They charged us some money for "whatever" and we never paid. We got a blanket from the deal. It's around the house somewhere and it's called the "$5,000 blanket."

    Possibly. Here is the dashboard. If you go back a level in the breadcrumbs and click on CAROL you can build your own query. I started to try but decided I wasn't sure how they classified "commercial" so I decided to let you have fun! You can thank me later. https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/data/Pages/monthly-dashboard.aspx

    @Renauda Wow!!! Glad that you were okay. It is weird how some things happen, and if you were there a second/day/week earlier or later, the outcome would have been very different.

    @Mik said in This is not right: As I said, I have no issue with reducing the federal workforce but it doesn't have to be done in a capricious and unnecessarily harmful way. I've said this before more than once, but I find the fact that Elon Musk appears very much to enjoy doing this to people really distasteful.

    @jon-nyc said in Just now at Newark airport: I walked into an elevator in Boston, I think, where, unbeknownst to me, the Georgia basketball team was staying. I got into an elevator and I was the shortest one on it. Hasn’t happened to me since I was 12. Weird, a penis length contest in an elevator...

    A string of fraudulent charges hit one of my cards a few months back. Before that, I think I have went 20+ years without incident. If as @Jolly says these things go in waves, then I suspect it’s due to some business’ database getting hacked.
