Oh, it's entirely a legit transfer. That's the point. It's what happens after that can cause trouble.
It's also possible someone fat-fingered an account number, I guess.
I sneezed twice this morning, looked down and saw Flynn (the cat) staring at me as if he thought my head might fall off at any moment.
Did you apologize to the cat?
After working from home for almost 4 years, I realized that I am basically wasting a room in my 2-bedroom apartment. I just don't want to go into that room on weekends. Or any weekday after 4PM, really. When I moved in, that room was going to be the best place in the apartment: it had my gaming PC, my drawing table, a whole bunch of books, and plenty of space. Now it feels... tainted?
I've been trying to figure out a better way of arranging my furniture, but I just can't come up with any that makes sense, and I inevitably run into this question: Where the hell do I put the cats' litter boxes?

I get that. I started a new, on-site, job in September, and still haven't quite convinced myself that the room I worked from for my first two years in this house belongs to me and can be used for whatever I want.
I guess that's the downside of keeping a separation between "home" and "office" while working remotely? It's really rough that you've "lost" half your apartment that way.

The eternal question. We have a couple in bathrooms. But we also have one in the kitchen corner. The thing that helped us was disguising them with a cabinet. Something like this

I don't think my super fat cat could get in to that, sadly 
Looks neat though!
Did you apologize to the cat?
I didn’t. I may have said, ‘It’s a sneeze. Don’t you ever sneeze?’
Our biggest cat is 12-13 pounds. Not fat but super long, and he has room to spare in there. The box that fits inside was like "XL" size from pet store. Thing is pretty huge. You could also leave a door open if the hole was really an issue, but I guess that defeats half the disguise.

Yeah, the hole is the problem, I think it's too high for her

They tell you that they're sorry, it's a mistake, and ask you to either convert it into gift cards, or (more likely if they think you can do it) to send it to another account. This "washes" the money by disconnecting the sender from the receiver.
This could also mean that some of your private information has been compromised.
I considered that. I looked back at the email, and it looks legit, sent from the etransfer company's domain. Looking at the complete email headers, I noticed the sender's email address in the 'reply-to' field (which was not visible to me from the Gmail default UI), but I will not contact them for now and just wait and see what the bank says.
Turns out it was a completely legitimate mistake. The person got in touch today, and I was finally able to refund them and close this issue for good 
I wasn't actually sure if the address in the reply-to field was the actual email, which is why I did not act on it immediately. The message I received from the person today confirmed that it was indeed the correct one.
Next time, tell them to have the Nigerian Prince contact you directly.
The boyfriend and I went on a road trip yesterday, and we took his Jeep. (I would have preferred if we had picked my Nissan Versa as it has lower carbon emissions, but whatever.) I was the one driving, and I realized soon that whenever a Jeep was coming in from the other direction, the Jeep's driver would do a sign at me. Apparently it's a thing Jeep owners do among themselves?
I missed it the first few times, but I got better in the end.
We're already in the planning phase for a huge road trip next summer, where we're going to go to my hometown to visit my friends and my parents, then cross the St. Lawrence river to go around the Gaspésie peninsula. If we go with the Jeep again, I guess I'll have more practice with the Jeep sign thing. (I still think we should take my car, this would cut the expenses in gas by half.)
My brother-in-law has a Jeep. I think of him as having a very expensive Lego set because he's always taking the doors off, or putting the soft top on, or changing out the city mirrors for the off-road mirrors, or whatever.
I prefer to just hop in my car and go, but apparently he gets enjoyment spending 45-60 minutes modifying his vehicle for whatever type of adventure he's about to embark on.
I'm trying to figure out if the old lady (played by Fran Ryan) in the movie Stripes in the cab with Bill Murray is the same woman he stole the cab from in the movie Scrooged. It's probably not correct, but it would be funny if it was. I can't find the entire cast from Scrooged. I don't know why I need to know this.
I can't Google who it is so maybe you're right. Maybe I should watch the commentary track for this year's viewing. It's been years since I did that even though I watch the movie annually

They look a little different, but the voices are very similar. In Scrooged the actress is uncredited from what I've seen so far. It would be interesting if it's mentioned in the commentary.
Think I figured out why I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, and why I want to cry all the time: My brain is broken and just doesn't know how to deal with happiness.
I wish I was being sarcastic.

I'm sorry. I know first hand how much that sucks.
So CBS, which made its own American remake of the British comedy "Ghosts," appears to be now airing the original British version of the show?
....why?
Given how most UK-to-US adaptations have gone, I'd say this might not put the US version in the best light for viewers, but, if it gets more Americans into Horrible Histories, then it's worth it I guess.
I haven't watched a ton of the American one but, from what I've seen, it seemed like a pretty good adaptation.
Your post made me realize that not only did season 4 (and now 5) of the UK version not get put up on HBO Max, the show itself is no longer there. It would appear to be on Paramount Plus now which is the one streaming service I don't have.
I believe they’re airing the British version as a temporary placeholder as the American version’s new season was delayed by the strikes. Saw an announcement awhile ago to that effect, and that the American version would return at some point post strike.
This from screenrant seems to confirm that’s still the plan.
Ahhh, that explains it. Thank you Teneman!
Ars Technica shared a picture of the Heart Nebula today, and my first reaction was "Hey, I've been there in Elite: Dangerous!".
I knew who Thin Lizzy were, but I genuinely had no idea that Phil Lynott was black/biracial (and considered himself very, very Irish) until 5 minutes ago. Huh!
I think my testicles just stole a car! What the f*ck, are they nuts!?
This morning I remembered a co-worker at my first job (decades ago) telling me that they’d had an accident at a petrol station. She’d run into the back of someone who was stopped at the pumps. No one was hurt and the guy she hit was good about it. He said he knew he was in trouble when he looked in the rearview mirror and noticed that she had both hands over her eyes.

This is not the dad joke thread, my man.
I got a voicemail from my psychiatrist's office today. He wouldn't be able to keep my appointment today because he died yesterday.
I can't but use gallows humor, but the wording "he can't keep today's appointment because he died yesterday" is.. umm... well... the wording was amusing. I don't think I'm a bad person.
That's... Necessary but horrible. Sounds like his staff are in shock. You might want to stop by the office.
