Droning On 0

It was only a matter of time . . . .

Before burglarizing a pair of food carts, an Oregon man used a drone to scope out his targets, according to police who last night arrested the accused thief.

The two food carts, which are part of the Piedmont Station Food Carts pod, were broken into early Tuesday morning, with the burglar getting away with computer tablets, money, speakers, utensils, business checks, and other items.

Suckering the Suckers 0

Mike Brooks takes a look why people take the click-bait. A snippet:

Another way in which clickbait lures us in is through a variable ratio reinforcement schedule. This is is sometime referred to as the “Vegas Effect” because variable ratio reinforcement schedules are involved in gambling. . . .

Those clickbait headlines make us curious to see what’s behind the curtain, so to speak. To quote the sagacious, Forrest Gump, who was quoting his mother, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.”

The Weather Channel 0

Give me a break.

Indeed, I was on the phone with an associate today and asked him what he thought about the Weather Channel. He said, “They just want to get people upset.”

Me, I can’t stomach the Weather Channel for more than 15 minutes at a time (unless it’s snowstorm pictures–and then it’s the pictures, not the channel).

A short synopsis of today’s hurricane coverage:

“It’s chaos here in Charleston, South Carolina! Look! A tree has been blown over!”

Fifteen minutes later:

“It’s chaos here in Charleston, South Carolina! Look! A tree has been blown over!”

And it’s the same damned tree.

In other news, it’s looks like we’re going to get off easy on this one.

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

We are reminded once more that politeness is child’s play.

A 10-year-old child was airlifted to a hospital after being accidentally shot, (Daytona Beach, Fla.–ed.) authorities confirmed.

(snip)

Officials said it appears the shooting was accidental but it’s unclear whether the child shot himself or was shot as children played with a gun.

The NRA will no doubt argue that, had the child been packing–oh, wait.
