Well, I did as newtboy suggested and got a 90-day fraud alert from Credit Union. Hope whoever did this only had the card #, nothing more. The credit cards have been turned off and we'll be getting new cards and account #'s..

Hope it is not malware, DH is pretty good at setting up security on our computers but who knows.. I seem to attract malware.. but never anything serious, so far. I have been keeping an eye on my addons since I got a very sticky 'search engine' about a year ago and it took quite a while to get rid of it permanently..

I'll stay alert, try to see if using paypal whenever I can when shopping online, and just wait and see.

Just sucks, but at least I didn't have to pay any of that groupon stuff myself!

Barely got through the first one? I'd say you got all the way through the first one, that was your problem.
I heard this whole thing was just a big misunderstanding, the guy who commissioned the work asked for "Money Shots", at least he still used a viscous and sticky fluid.

Yes, I understand they are taught to shoot to kill, I just think it's wrong to do so.
If it was an unavoidable situation of a single officer against a single offender, I would agree. Since there were 3, one of them could have safely moved to trying non-lethal force, with a double helping of deadly force instantly backing him up if it doesn't work. If not taser, bean bags, sticky foam, flash bang, etc. They have many means of non-lethal force that work almost every time. That should be the normal, daily way of doing it. That's why they call for backup. If they're just going to all shoot to kill anyway, why not just save time and money and do it alone? If they're only going to try lethal force, can we stop paying for all that non-lethal equipment we give them?
Shooting rapid fire and randomly in the direction of a 'perp' puts the public at risk. The first 5+ shots all missed him and flew down the street, I'm curious if anyone was hit.
If they don't even attempt non-lethal means of halting the criminal, there WAS a much better alternative. If lethal force is acceptable in any unknown situation, it's become a war of 'us vs them' where any police stop may end in one or both parties being killed because the cop wasn't sure he was safe, that's not a good outcome. When there are multiple officers, at least one should always TRY non-lethal force. If it's appropriate to have multiple guns drawn and pointed at a human's head, it's appropriate to try to taser them or bean bag them before shooting a full clip of live rounds.

If 'potential threat' is the only metric needed to justify homicide, every cop on the beat could be legally shot. They are all armed, and known to shoot to kill at the slightest provocation. Killing them would be self defense in every case if that was the only thing needed to make it acceptable, as they are all not just 'potential threats', but actual deadly threats known to be armed and homicidal.
That's why that theory doesn't work in my eyes. It leads to more killings, which leads to more fear, which leads to more killings, which leads to more fear.... Cops are trained and armed and given bullet proof vests, cut proof gloves/sleeves, and have massive backup. If they intentionally put themselves in a position where they are alone against an unknown threat, then kill out of fear of the situation they put themselves in, how is that not inappropriate? I really don't get it.
(I do get that sometimes (rarely) it's unavoidable, but most times a little patience and a little less 'contempt of cop- punishable by death' would diffuse situations that police instead often escalate into homicide because of a complete lack of patience or empathy, or out of anger because they were 'disrespected' by not having their commands followed instantly)

Thats super sticky/packy snow that fell on not frozen ground, usually one of the first snowfalls in our region (Canada). That snow is the best for making snowmen. When you can't roll it anymore you flip it on its side and try to start the roll again. We would literally have 20 kids in the school yard trying to see how big we could get one roll to go when we were kids.

It's totally possible. I've played a few FPS games at top level, and you'd be surprised how simple things like checking corners can drop out of a person's mind when they're so focused on trying to do everything else perfectly. All it takes is one guy to forget to corner check (like with the first guy on here), and then all the other guys think he's checked and that it's safe. Sometimes that kinda thing can be so basic and risky that no one believes that you'd have the audacity to try it against top players.

Like with sticky traps on TF2 - sometimes even the top clans will lose 6 players to that just because 1 soldier didn't check the doorway, and everyone is embarrassed and feels stupid, but it just takes a momentary lapse.

Unlikely no one would look behind them, but i imagine it's happened plenty of times in all the matches played.

Part of it has to do with the old guy's back tire. He's smokes it to warm the rubber and make it more sticky.

This would be typical, they're sticky beaks.

Um...yeah, because hand cleaning the toilet, then hand applying sticky plastic, then using your hands to plunge the thin plastic sheet (hoping it doesn't break or loose it's seal or you fall in), then removing a crap covered plastic sheet and disposing of it somewhere is SO much better than just using a normal plunger...ingenious Korea!

Good, solid, clap of thunder causes the vapour to massively condense.

Anyone who's lived on the prairies during thunderstorm season has seen this. This just was caught on film.

I also live up here in the Sub-Arctic Rain Forest, and while I too have yet to see it happen locally, I can't tell you how many times I've had a sticky, humid but dry, hot day with monster thunderheads only to have a 10 minute deluge shortly after a decent, loud thunder clap.

It's like shaking a small tree after a rain.
