The other day, inspired by someone who knits, I looked up a specific brand of fingering yarn in Google. The first three responses were porn clips.[/quote]Was this someone who knits, a forum participant? Because I know of a certain needle crafter : )
"...Someone taught AI Rule 34..."
The people that educated AI have a lot to answer for.
"I'm still trying to decide if it was the yarn weight (fingering) or the colorway name (Turkish Delight) that was responsible for serving up porn clips instead of a picture of the pretty yarn! ;-)"
Both. I just checked again and there were fingering clips, Turkish fingering, Turkish Delight, and Turkish daddy clips. Please note these were different than the clips the first search turned up.
Please also note that this does not happen on Duck Duck Go. Perhaps because you have to go to a different website to get their AI powered results, Duck Duck Go actually gives me the yarn in the third item.

"If I Google "enhanced camel toes", Oh, man, am I sure I'll have a "WTF" post for you."
Ok. I actually DID Google it.
Women actually pay MONEY to buy prosthetic camel toes to shove in their underwear, or underwear or swimsuits that are designed to make for a more pronounced camel toe?!

You see a lot of cosmetic work there.

A former neighbor's dog was half purebread rottweiler and half purebread cocker spaniel... That dog had the body and hair of a cocker spaniel, but the fur color of a rottweiler. That was one funny looking dog!
I have to have some compounded medications for one of my dogs because under 7.5 pounds means most things have to be given as tiny doses of liquid. It's ridiculously expensive, but one of the medications comes with a tiny toy each month, which Walgreens doesn't do.
One of my dogs' favorite walking and playing buddies was an English yellow lab who totally failed as a gun dog, due to being a complete doofus. I really liked her looks once I got used to the shorter legs.
[quote=windowShopping7][quote=Goodenuff]More of a "HOLY COW" than WTF.... I went to thee local sports show yesterday afternoon. A combination of just something to do and talking to whatever kennels/breeders/trainers were there to see about upcoming litters being as I'm in the market for a dog a bit sooner than expected. Anyway...
...I wasn't too shocked at the price increases for a thoroughbred dog with a great pedigree but the prices for new boats, campers, ATV's etc,, etc. was a different story.
I'm not in the market for any of those, but damn, $45K for a boat similar to my 17' fishing boat, or $12K for an ATV similar to one of 2 that we have (paid less than $2,000 new for ours and it currently has <2,000 miles on it), or $23K more than a similar. 5 YO, almost mint condition/used camper I bought last fall sure made me happy I didn't need any of those.
All of those were "Show Special" prices. Maybe some of the components of those things were imported (like the Yamaha motor on the boat) , but the ATV and boat were made in Minnesota and the camper was made in the US too.[/quote]More dog info please. What breeds, what sort of cost?[/quote]A Labrador Retriever.
Specifically, a yellow female with "field lines" as opposed to "show lines".
That kind of depends on an interpretation of filed vs. show. In the US show lines have typically broader/blockier looking heads and builds to general to comply more with AKC standards for the breed. The more "British" lineage have a less "blocky/broader look, usually a bit smaller than "American/show lines" and some people refer to them as "field lines".
Looks like the current price for a good pedigree from a reputable breeder is over $2,000 for a puppy. That usually includes their puppy shots and dew claw removal.
"Started dogs", meaning about 1 YO and having had obedience and some field/specialized training would be about $4,000+ depending on how good the breeder thinks they are for the job they're being trained for.
I've had black labs but seeing/keeping an eye on them at night when they're running around on my rural properties, without yard/city lights is like trying to keep track of a Ninja. You never know they're there until they "attack" and you trip over them. :-)

As long as the tariff appeal was filed in writing and Mrs. VA has the copy of the appeal, keep sending a copy of the appeal with each collection notice. Rattle FedEx's chain for a little while and let them do the legwork.
[quote=vabeachcouple33]As a quick reminder: Mrs VA has had two instances of FedEx demanding tariff money from her. The first for a pasta maker she bought directly from Italy online that FedEx demanded - and she paid - around $70 by my recollection.
The other was some handmade knit thing that her sister in Canada mailed to her that FedEx assessed with a tariff of $56.95 (I think). She protested and filed an appeal, which she was told would take 90-180 days or longer. Meanwhile, the left hand of FedEx is not talking to the right, because even though she instigated an appeal she is now getting notices of pending collection action.
We were wondering if the recent SCOTUS ruling would change this, and so far the answer is no. She just yesterday got a notice telling her that a reassessment of the tariff could result in a charge of $90-$120, and asked her again if she wanted to just pay it or proceed with the appeal.
She is still refusing.[/quote]FedEx is definitely suing over tariffs.

KENOSHA, Wis. —
A former teacher aide in Kenosha County will spend the next 50 years in prison. A judge delivered that sentence to Anna Marie Crocker on Tuesday after the 34-year-old pleaded guilty to multiple sex crimes involving four young boys.
"I take full responsibility for what has taken place," Crocker said through tears during Tuesday's sentencing. "I am disturbed by the harm and distress, along with the trauma that you have to endure. I am deeply sorry that this has caused confusion, pain and anger, and that you have to live with this the rest of your lives."
During the sentencing, investigators detailed Crocker's crimes, including forcing a 12-year-old to have sex with her and luring a 14-year-old out of his home to sexually assault him.
"She couldn't help herself. She was juggling all these boys at the same time," prosecutor Rosa Delgado said in court.
A court order prohibited the recording of the victims and their families, but one mother told the judge, "This person destroyed my son's psyche and loving and caring spirit."
As a result of the defendant's actions, that family moved out of state. Crocker, a mother of four herself, pleaded for a lighter sentence, saying, "I am asking for mercy and compassion even though I understand the seriousness."
Judge David Hughes ultimately sentenced Crocker to 51.5 years of incarceration and 32 years of extended supervision.
