1817807, here. Yours may be the smallest number I’ve ever seen.
This is my airplane go to. Love it!
I know groceries are expensive, but damn!
The scam in question, from the article:
McKcraken said he never requested a tree removal service and didn’t want any trees at his Forest Hills house — which he’s trying to sell — removed.
“They’re trying to target vacant houses because the owners won’t know,” he said. “So that they can post themselves as the owner, and the owners won’t be home to stop it and won’t be home to notice it if the tree services do show up.”
The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said the scheme begins with a scammer calling or emailing a tree service company for a quote on how much it would be to cut down trees. After receiving an estimated amount, they send the company a faulty check for more than needed.
Before the company realizes the checks are null and void, the scammer asks the company to pay back the difference.
“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”
How is no one talking about head splitters? Am I the only person who hadn’t heard of these before?
I’ve been playing Sail Forth. It’s very basic, but still fairly fun.
It’s not like those Tax Dollars came from the Working Class in the first place!
This is my favorite part of the book. I love how he’s all just, “Italy is winning the war.”
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
I’m curious to know why, can you explain or point to an article?
Please don’t be Spokane, please don’t be Spokane…

PHEW!
Stupid, naturally safe helium!
It was especially frustrating when one of the NPCs broke the law, but I got blamed for it.
Nothing like spending hours schlepping bodies around the map. It was a little easier in Dishonored once I was able to make the bodies immediately disappear into ash.
In some games, I like to try to see if I can kill literally everyone on the map without getting caught or alerting anyone.
Follow real life traffic laws.
Apparently not. I wonder why I didn’t see that? And judging by the upvotes on my comment, neither did several other people. 🤷
