    Fishing rod and a heavy lure with a treble hook? Or a magnet if you use ferrous traps

    My son and I thought about the treble hook but we didn't want to ruin the flex duct. So, yeah, plastic traps. 😒

    If you can see the trap a glob of "Goop" glue on the end of a stick let it set up overnight, a 1x1x however long might work.

    I hate that you need about five subscriptions just to watch NFL games.

    I don't have problems, just more work to do.

    I hate those burger king ads with the off-key-on-purpose singer and super dumb lyrics. Whopper whopper whopper whopper Beeeee Kaaaaay, have it yer waaaay. When will it stop?! Can't watch football without that BS hitting my ears every time they go to commercial. I was at my parents last week and seldom had the remote in my hand so I couldn't mute fast and minimize my exposure.

    I KNOW I've griped about this one before.
    F**k BK.

    I watch a lot of hockey on espn+ and they don't have the local commercials from the feeds you get so you get the same crap every commercial break. This is one of them. Like nails on a chalkboard.

    We get a lot of ads during dinner showing the fruit fly larvae in Alameda County with warnings not to transport backyard fruit because of the infestation, kind of off putting during dinner.

    And so with 2025 barely a few days old, here’s the first news story of the year reporting exactly that. As per The Financial Times, “an influx of hyper-personalized phishing scams generated by artificial intelligence bots” is on the rise. These attacks are already a security nightmare and will only get worse. The newspaper says major companies including eBay now warn “of the rise of fraudulent emails containing personal details probably obtained through AI analysis of online profiles.”

    I almost deleted my zoom app last night because I saw a new “AI companion” option.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Which is exactly why I’m still debating deleting it

    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

    Well, first of all, I TOTALLY agree about the annoying commercial. However, prior to your posting this I was able to tune it out, just didn't really hear it.

    Now, I hear it all the way through every time.

    Not blaming you, but, it is all your fault. Grating, annoying, garbage barrage.

    Grrr... I thought the goofy looking King was bad, now I wish he was back and whoever OK'd this horrible commercial was dropped into the French fry vat.

    LOL During these last two CFP games I have discovered my streaming capabilities, and I watched on my laptop while enjoying cigars and whiskey in the garage, but with streaming I was limited on my ability to fast forward through the commercials, but I did mute every commercial break and whenever I noticed the burger king ads, I was celebrating my small victory with great joy.
