This has the potential to be a real cluster#$#@. Here in LA, it included our freaking OMV office, meaning anyone in the state who has a car registration, driver's license or ID, has potentially had their SSNs, names, addresses, etc. compromised. Recommendations are to freeze credit and change...

I know we have a ChatGPT thread, but this space is moving at warp speed right now, so I think it's time to launch a general AI thread for news, tools, links, etc. I have run across some unbelievable tools thus far and I think we are just scratching the surface. IMHO, I feel like this is the...

I was going to post this in my interesting news thread, but I decided that Kevin needed his own thread. What an amazing young man. I wish it had a happier ending, but it's inspiring all the same. I urge you to take a few minutes and read this story...

Rather than posting general metaverse news and links of interest in the NFT or crypto threads, I thought I'd just start an all-things-metaverse thread, so if you've got news, recommendations, etc. let's hear them! I, for one, haven't experienced the metaverse yet, but I'm very intrigued by the...

Thought it might be handy to have a thread with product recalls, vehicle recalls, general consumer announcements, etc. that could be far-reaching. Lots of times I only hear about these things when I happen to see a clickbait headline, so let's compile these, shall we?

I've seen rumblings in several news sources, but this Medium article summarizes the situation pretty well. https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/why-you-should-plan-for-food-shortages-8a5136b6b920 On a scale of 1-10 how concerned are you about a food/supply shortage? Also if you have any other...

This is crazy. A link in a daily news email caught my eye. This was the first I had heard of this.  https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2021/06/01/amazon-sidewalk-echo-devices-share-internet-june-8/5288353001/ tl;dr If you have one of the eligible devices, AND DO NOT OPT OUT, your device will...

Didn't see an Olympics thread yet. Was reading yesterday on the Your Local Epidemiologist's blog about the upcoming games, and well, things seem a tad unsettled to say the least, thanks to COVID. Should be interesting to see how this unfolds in the coming weeks.  Here are the high points...

Kinda joking. Kinda serious.  Just started thinking about what I need. Solar power to be off the grid in instances such as this winter storm fiasco. Backup whole-house generator. Snow chains. ATV. You get the picture.  What will make a good compound? Food, whiskey, guns and ammo will be...

Sometimes I run across funny or interesting (to me) stuff I'd like to share here, but don't want to make an entire thread about each one, so let this serve as the repository for those things. Feel free to contribute your own.

Love stories like this.  tldr; 60yo man has strokes and a seizure and wakes up only speaking in rhymes. Takes an interest in rap battles in New York. KRS-One ends up mentoring him. ...

Just thought I'd see what the majority votes as their favorite "reactions" to posts, with the new options we have after the upgrade. Vote on your top 5.

Let me start this out by saying my life is never really super interesting; however, this past weekend proved to be pretty damn interesting for several reasons. And disclaimers: This is no AZ Ron thread. Nor is it EG-worthy. I could only aspire to the auspices of those 2 masters. But I will do my...

Got word yesterday that my ex-wife, the mother of my kids, was found dead in her apartment. She was 39. She had made some bad choices and had some struggles over the last several years and had just not taken very good care of herself on top of that. The kids have been with me the majority of the...

With Vince dropping the big announcement today of the reemergence of the XFL, thought it would be a good passage of time (boss> :hey: ) to come up with jersey nicknames for us here in the FFA.   Feel free to suggest names for other posters, as well as yourself.  I guess I'll have to go...

Going ahead and firing up a thread for this. Speculation is that it will be released in November.  Official Trailer "I'm coming for you" promo UPDATE 10/19/17: new trailer Cannot wait for this one!! :popcorn:  

Official Trailer Marvel’s The Defenders follows Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones). A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal – to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their...

My father suffered a massive stroke last Friday/Saturday. Spent a few days in the hospital basically just breathing (no machines, as per his own wishes for his entire life), and passed peacefully from this life Tuesday night. I wrote some words on my Facebook, but thought I'd share with my FFA...

Welp, here we go again. I decided that if I am going to start putting details out about the new possible woo, I'd prefer to not mesh woo tales and will just start anew here in a separate thread.  This one will likely not be as interesting, as the dynamic will be more traditional, but what the...
