- Morgan Housel on Risk and Regret

-  IRS proposes new reporting program aimed at the tips earned by waiters and bartenders. This is crap. Unless it's a business expense I need to put in my expense report to be reimbursed I always try to give my tips separately in cash. This is why!

- Data from Medicare databases show each shot a person takes increases the risk of death. Our vaccine intervention has made things worse - not better.

- Hacking ChatGPT. I look at the hackers in this case as the "white hats."

Single Hacker Takes Down N Korea's Internet

Interesting story of a hacker who was targeted by North Korean hackers so he took down the entire country's Internet in response. You know now other "white hat" hackers are going to try to see if they can do the same thing. 

My hacking fantasy would be for someone to hack the payroll system for either China's or Russia's military and divert the funds supposed to pay the soldiers into an account easily tracible to Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin. That would cause a very interesting situation.

- Forty ways the world is getting better (to be honest I have mixed feeling about a couple of these like the number of cell phones out numbering the number of people)

- Now for your cheery thought for the day - Mount Vesuvius may have killed people by vaporizing their blood and exploding heads from the inside. "Tragically, those poor people in the waterfront chambers would have died instantly." Tragically? Would it have been less tragic if they weren't killed instantly but had their agony prolonged? Sadist scientists are the worst.

- Big League Chew will have their first package featuring a girl player for sale soon. Heh heh - all I can think is now people who support girls' sports will have to battle those who think pretend chewing tobacco leads to real-life use and cheek and gum cancer. Well played Big League Chew!

-  Well this isn't good - new Pentagon weapons systems easily hacked

- And this is scary as fuck! Driverless cars could become WMD's

- Interesting - independent analyst pegs Tesla stock value at $430 per share

- History will not be kind to the FBI and DOJ on the "Russian Collusion" BS

- Heh heh - this election is going cray-cray

- His Majesty is the best!

- IoT (Internet of Things) is going to leave many devices open to being hacked - like this TV a Munich pharmacy was using for ads but was hacked to show porn

- Definitely going to hell for laughing at this

- Heh heh

- Fentanyl and heroin are scary and now deaths from overdose are higher in rural areas than in cities

- This was funny - the one about Scar's real name was the best

- 102-year old woman credits beer for long life. Beer - proof that God loves us!

- Some good advice for protecting your IT devices

- Heh heh - speaking of protecting your IT devices

- And speaking of things you can hack - turns out it is pretty easy to hack traffic signals.

- Don't forget that the Internet was created to bring Zombo.com into your life. The unattainable is unknown at Zombo.com. The only limit is yourself.
