I was playing GTA Online last evening (a haven for trolls and griefers, if there ever was one) when a kid claimed in the chat window (visible to all players in the current session) that he had my IP...and had determined I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a machine with 16GB of RAM. Which was partially wrong, as the machine has 32. Then he claimed to have logged into my Instagram account and was about to delete all my photos. Problem is, I don't do social media, let alone Instagram. I made him aware of this, and told him to go ahead and do his worse.
He must've been disappointed, 'cuz he then moved on to someone else in the session, and started the same thing all over again. For all I know I could've been talking to a (poorly scripted) bot.
Whatever happened to the good trolls?

I was kinda expecting that old story with the password of "hunter" (or was it "hunter2"...Google isn't helping right now...)
[Edit]
Here it is...classic.

If rabbits attack when you walk past, are you having a bad hare day?

Lepus not encourage type of comment. I don't think it warrens a response.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Yes, and when they walk away together after the attack it is called a receding hare line.

My rabbits name is lucky. I felt sorry for him cause he only had 3 feet.

I ordered a book 2 weeks ago and have been watching its tracking history. It usually only takes a few days a week at most but according to tracking its been all over the state (Florida). I got to thinking: I bet it would have a story to tell.

I have the same issue going on with some specialized batteries and vitamins I ordered. Not sure when they will show up. Tracking is still tracking.

I had something I bought off eBay on the 2nd of December. Tracking shows it floated about the USPS processing stations until it arrived in Wisconsin somewhere. It's been there since the 8th and every day I check... and it's still there. Lot's of other stuff took a long time but eventually arrived - but this is getting excessive considering the "estimated delivery date was the 7th!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I have found USPS deliveries to be uniformly very efficient, except for one package that was rerouted a bit. During the holiday rush, anything is possible, but remember that a lot of their sorting equipment had been removed and other things done that greatly hampered their efficiency.
Although a court ordered it to be reversed, that doesn't mean the current postmaster-general (a political appointee) was in any hurry to do so.
Actually, for all the apologies I've seen in my mail tracking (check out Informed Delivery if you don't already have it), they've been outstanding.

You would think as we entered a new year, you would have turned over a new leaf..... I guess you just have to wait for it to be delivered first.

Which one?
The 11" Edge is a beast and can see so much more, still trying to get used to it and optimise my worklow and guiding etc. Only played with it for a short while.
The 11" Rasa is sitting at home waiting for me, I have been away since beginning of November and don't get home until end of January, still doing these long rotations due to covid.

Ugh, long rotation sucks.
New toy and can't play, that sucks even worse.
We went to Peru last year and the place we stayed was way out from nearest town and they had a small observatory and we got to see rings of Saturn, I was awed.
