The hamsters are already on vacation, so nobody changed the graphic!

Why would they be on vacation? It's not Canadian Thanksgiving day (that was a few weeks ago).

Did I say they were celebrating Thanksgiving?
They are off early for Advent.

Talking of "two Thanksgivings ago": Anyone who is still unfamiliar with Arlo Guhrie. Alice's Restaurant[^] should spend the 18 minutes it takes to listen to this talking country tune!
The movie based on the tune is certainly a nice presentation of hippe life at the time of Woodstock, but it is not half as funny as the song. Watch it if come across it, but don't cross the continent to get hold of it.

Given the state of the world, the main thing that he/she/it has to be thankful for is that he/she/it's an alien.

Bob's an alien. Do you know how many sexes the species has?

Gender.Neutral? Is that some namespace in .Net Core?

We all know Bob is Canadian, and Canadian Thanksgiving is in October.
I'd rather be phishing!

I have received a phishing email that looks very well produced.
I'm tempted to spin up a virtual machine and go to the link inside of it just to see what happens.
Do you think there is any malware that can escape a virtual machine?

Nothing escapes from a virtual machine. Once the malware passes the event horizon, it is reduced to pure energy by the time it reaches the singularity. Wait... that was a black hole, not a virtual machine. Better install everything on a black hole then.

Great idea! I was unaware of such sites.
Thanks!

It has been done: Escaping VMware Workstation through COM1[^]
And even if this security hole is fixed now, I wouldn't bet on it.
Remember that your virtual machine is sharing the processor and local network as well.

You're right. I will follow Richard's advice and use one of those investigative sites instead.

I have no idea. but to be on the safe side: I suggest you make an image of your systems drive, before dipping your toes in potentially toxic waters.

I agree. I won't really do it.

No "old" computer in your attic?
There used to be a time when I would simply click on it, because a decent MVPS host file blocks most, and a lot of malware leaned on downloading files and have the user click on the "Run" dialog instead of Save. Fire up fiddler2, and go.
With the current state of webbrowsers, I'm not that confident. If you still interested in doing so, use the Lynx browser to navigate there.
