I'm not too tech savvy but there's a chance that "Maggie's Cleaners" isn't the real origination of the scam. I'm sure it's possible to cover one's tracks if you're smart enough to hack into a system like PayPal. Then again, you never know.

probably one of her "geek" employees trying to get enough to buy materials to buy the latest gadget :rolleye0014:

I feel your pain. Just last week the temperature dropped to -31°C over here (-24°F). I seriously cannot wait for this goddamn winter to end.

Yeah, I hear ya! It's cold here, too, today. It's down to a whopping 78F with a cool breeze. I had to close the door to the terrace a little to minimize the breeze. It was touch and go for a bit but, other than a few leaves blowing by, looks like we're all going to pull through.

No, but I would have hated to be in QLD where it was over 50c.

I just don't like crazy heat Bluce, I would far prefer crazy cold because its generally easier to warm up than cool down :)

I'm sorry but this is just plain crazy talk. I am sooooo sending Mel Gibson to live in your house. You deserve nothing less for making such a mentally seditious statement.

Better to be cold than hot, bah! :daniel01:



(P.S. It was -10 here today. Wind chill made it even worse. We have to go out 15 minutes early to run our cars to heat them up before driving anywhere. The only up-side to such an insane clime is the fact that it doesn't snow when it's this cold.)

Nope, despite the swing in temps from 20-40 on a seemingly daily basis, some of the fires are still out of control, not helped of course by the plethora of toss-stains that think lighting fires is catastrophic conditions is a "fun" thing" (AFAIC, arson like this should still carry the death penalty, and I don't give a rats arse about age)

I'm far enough away from the front lines where I am Yong, one advantage of a huge urban sprawl is that it is relatively hard for fires to cause mass area damage.

You know, there are these marvelous little things called block heaters. ;)

Take it from someone who's lived through -40C winters. It's not and your options are limited.

To cool down in hot summer weather you can go inside with a/c, go to the mall, go to the beach, drive around with a/c among other things. In extreme cold, you can stay home. That's about it. If you go out, you risk engine freeze if parked outside for more than an hour, provided you actually got there safe without skidding out of control on invisible ice, then you're stuck wherever you are until help comes.

don't give syfy any ideas about concrete and steel sprawl stopping the fire; i am sure they have a movie planned to disprove that

May a Great White mysteriously appear in your backyard pool. :tyrannosaurus:

As for warming up in the cold, I don't understand WTF you're babbling about. There's no way to get warm, none! Fear not though as I've already begun to plan my move to warmer climes before next winter. No, not Australia. Hell, even I have standards. ;)
