I've known this, but I keep being stupid & doing it anyway.
If you're at a meeting of people in a large group & they pass around a list of contact details, DO NOT put down your details, just keep passing it.
Every time I've done it, the person who messages everyone will just put ALL the addresses in the TO field, & then every person who responds will hit Reply ALL.
So then you'll have a message from every person in the group who responded.
Last time it happened to me was Thanksgiving. I asked them to remove my contact information.
This time it's happening again with an even bigger group, & they want me to come to their next meeting & explain how to use BCC. I ain't got time for that!

Some of my favorite people are shrimps. None so enigmatic as this old campaigner —
Yes, but it probably doesn't really turn off 5G, it just make you think it is off. The government needs your 5G to be on to track/control the population, spread cancer/viral disease, kill birds/bees, use as a guidance system for weapons, and as a distributed energy weapon.
Did I miss any of the uses of 5G?
o you ever wonder who first thought of Five Guys?
Jerry and Janie Murrell advised their four young sons Jim, Matt, Chad, and Ben, to “start a business or go to college.” After Jerry and Janie realized that their two oldest boys weren’t going to go to college, the family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington, Virginia in 1986. It was called Five Guys as a nod to Jerry and his four sons. (Later, a fifth son named Tyler was born, and the understanding of the name shifted to represent Jerry’s five sons.) With Jerry and Janie’s guidance, the boys served hand-formed burgers cooked on a grill along with freshly cut fries cooked in 100% peanut oil. Between 1986 and 2001, four more locations were added in the D.C. metro area. The new restaurants included sit-down seating to accommodate Five Guys’ growing clientele. In late 2002/early 2003, the family decided to offer Five Guys franchise locations in Virginia and Maryland. They sold out of franchise territory in 18 months and then made the decision to offer franchise options to the rest of the U.S. In 2010, Five Guys went international with their first location in Canada and then opened their first location outside of North America in London in 2013. In 2014, milkshakes were added to the official menu and in 2018, Five Guys reached a milestone of over 1,500 locations worldwide. The expansion continued with Five Guys opening their first Australian location in 2021. Just like the original Five Guys restaurant, all the locations are known for using only fresh (never frozen) beef and frying in 100% peanut oil. Along with their emphasis on freshness and quality, Five Guys is also known for offering a great deal of customization — according to their website, there are over 250,000 possible topping configurations for customers to choose from! All of the locations also stock plain peanuts; reportedly, customers enjoy over 260,000 peanuts per week at Five Guys locations. Interestingly, the buns are the restaurant’s only proprietary item, and they are baked fresh at bakeries five days a week; reportedly, the bakery operations are overseen by Tyler. In fact, all of the Murrells are still involved in the business. Today, Five Guys has expanded far beyond that first family-owned location into a cult favorite with a swath of loyal fans worldwide.

remember Terminator Genisys? Skynet updated everyone's cell phone with a new operating system.Yes, but it probably doesn't really turn off 5G, it just make you think it is off.

Maybe I'm AI. I get on talkbass and pretend I can play music...
Take the morning off. It could save your life.
Why You're Most Likely to Have a Heart Attack in the Morning
“Researchers have some theories they’re working on to explain why people may be more likely to have a heart attack in the morning than any other time of day. One theory looks at a protein in your blood called PA1, which prevents clots from dissolving. The results of a small study showed that healthy study participants had higher levels of PA1 around 6:30 a.m., after they woke up. This higher level of PA1 increases the risk of clot formation in a blood vessel, blocking blood flow to the heart. As the morning went on, the levels for those in the study dropped back to normal ranges.
Other researchers think early morning heart attacks could have other causes, such as an elevated amount of stress hormones [Cortisol]. As you wake up, your body releases stress hormones to get your body up and going for the day. In addition, your body tends to be dehydrated by the time you wake up and for some people, this combination of added stress hormones plus dehydration may be enough to trigger a heart attack.
Aside from the increased risk of heart attacks in the morning, researchers have also found that morning heart attacks may cause more damage to the heart than those that occur during any other time of day. No matter the hour, it’s important to seek immediate treatment for symptoms of heart attack if you or anyone else experiences them.”

I'll drink to that. First thing to do in the morning, I've learned, if you can't afford the luxury, is to drink water, immediately, first thing, top priority. This is the traditional Japanese practice. Very sound. And warming it up is best, so the gullet doesn't have to do it and it can then be absorbed immediately. I follow suit, religiously
Makes sense — put all the volume back into the blood which has been sapped of a good proportion of its water by every sleepy, needy organ in play throughout your dreamworld fasting.

I'm ruined again today by poetry — nothing new. But this one's just hit home. Nothing new under the sun,

I'm ruined again today by poetry — nothing new. But this one's just hit home. Nothing new under the sun,
"The Ruin of the Empire", or simply "The Ruin", is an elegy in Old English, written by an unknown author probably in the 8th or 9th century, and published in the 10th century in the Exeter Book, a large collection of poems and riddles. The poem evokes the former glory of an unnamed ruined ancient city that some scholars have identified with modern Bath, juxtaposing the grand, lively past with the decaying present. […]
[…] J.R.R. Tolkien, who was a scholar in Old English, took inspiration from the phrases ...g orþonc ærsceaft ("_g skill ancient work_") and brosnað enta geweorc ("the work of giants is decaying") in The Ruin and the verse orþanc enta geweorc in Maxims II[13] for the names of the tower Orthanc and the tree-men Ents in The Lord of the Rings.

I learnt today (well, very recently) that "lucked out" means the opposite in some countries. In the US for instance, it means the person got very lucky, while where I come from its the opposite, as in "ran out of luck" and I didn't get lucky.
I wondered why some ppl would say they lucked out on a great deal, and then proceed to show the bass they got for a bargain etc lol.
