    Unfortunately it looks like TP shortages won’t be getting better for a bit ? paper mill in Jay Maine where my brother works just exploded. Among the items they produce is TP ?

    Luckily everyone made it out safely ❤️

      Hm, so one sensational news source first tweeted about several injuries, then a slightly more reputable source tweeted about no injuries. #fakenews much?

    4. Iwantgames:)

      Iwantgames:)

      No one was injured. It’s a part of the mill that’s not normally occupied. Still no word on what caused it yet.

      We do have people come in the store and donate money to random layaway accounts. One year someone came in and paid off ALL the layaways in a store in Connecticut. Rich people like to help during the holidays. Here's a story from last year:

    Finally played through Warcraft Adventures. For a unreleased game it's actually quite polished and I actually enjoyed it :)

      Well, I live in Ohio, so.. Someone sees on unit asking $1000 on eBay and suddenly they are all supposedly worth that.

      Razer bought them out. I'm glad they're keeping it alive.

       

      I don't think the Razer Forge (followup with Google Play) ever got external storage support, which kills the fun as an emulation box.

      Maybe you bumped into someone who had one of those credit card skimming devices? According to some news reports, these scammers can ‘skim’ credit card data while the card is still in your pocket. There are wallets you can buy to protect your cards from theft; they contain a special metal that blocks the signal sent by skimming devices.

    3. Iwantgames:)

      Iwantgames:)

      Yea I’m guessing that or one of these https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/gas-pump-atm-skimmers.php as it happened right after I was in a hurry and used pay at pump instead of going inside like I normally do :/

      Probably should switch to using credit cards instead of debit.. then just treat it like a debit by paying it off at least weekly, if not sooner.
