I got a good scam call at work last week. I don't get many scam calls. It said "your IDENTITY CARD has been compromised, please stay on the line to be connected to an investigator (or whatever)". Then it was "Welcome to the SOCIAL SECURITY agency, please enter your party's extension or stay on the line to speak to an agent". Then it was Steve from India...obviously. So what I do is I just pretend I can't hear them. I keep saying "hello", and "I can't hear you" they say "hello" back and "can you hear me now". After this going on for a minute or so, right before he hangs up, softly, he says "f*ck you", haha. It felt so good to provoke him. I like the "pretend you can't hear them" technique. If I know it's a scam, I'll also wait for them to speak first...which is pretty funny. After a while they'll go "hello!" and I'll start the I-can't-hear thing.From my suspect email box

Not at 61N, we are only supposed to get down to 36.
Might have to take back what I said earlier about the culinary options in my little town. A sushi restaurant just opened yesterday, and we went tonight. It’s a “soft opening” and they’re still figuring things out so the service was slow and disorganized, they didn’t have a credit card POS system installed so we had to pay with Venmo, and some other quirks. But the sushi was actually quite good, and they had cold Sapporo on draught. There may be hope for this town yet.
Said to one that this is a scam and he told me I couldn't prove it and hung up. Sometimes I just do the confused old guy hello with long pauses. Other times I'll tell them "I live in a shoe made of cheese. Where do you live ?" But lately I've been getting the Indian accent speed mumblers. Which drives me nuts when I really have to talk to someone regarding an actual issue. I have hearing damage and that speed mumbling is nearly impossible for me to understand. So next time Scammer Steve calls I'm going to mumble like a freshly concussed DHr at the free salsa bar on Taco Tuesday. See who hangs up first.
If they can cook that fish, it sounds like it might be a solid option.
Surrounded by distant family I haven't seen in decades. Great to see some of them, could have gone another nine or ten decades before seeing the rest.
I've had them. I thought they were excellent. What did you think?
Built yourself or bought complete? Seems like some wheel builders twist the spokes, weakening them in the process, which results in snapping. I would stay away from Superspokes as they have a "snappy" reputation.
if only there were a tool to prevent bladed spokes from twisting when you're lacing them......
Which is the one with the live worms?
You know this, I know this, but apparently not every wheel-building bike shop mechanic does.
jm must get some sketchy black market sushi up in ak

Pretty much all caught fish has worms/parasites.
Then why doesn’t all of Japan die every day?
Maybe they do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Worked on Douchy Dooshbagintons bike today. Came right in my shop and started bossing me around. I was cool. Fixed his bike and got rid of him. Gave him 2 doses of Stans for free. Charged him $140 for 3 spokes and a derailleur hanger. Resurrected his derailleur also. Zelle QR for the win.
Because you can digest *most* of em
I'm dead serious about caught fish though, they all have parasites...especially rockfish/cod.
It appears you chose more wisely than watz
