    2-factor authentication is the fashizzle.

    Banking apps with 2FA are quite secure…provided they’re using the correct encryption and firewalls on the server side.

    I dare someone to hack my USAA account. They guys teaching cyber warfare at UTSA also work at USAA and on Security Hill.

    Correct. Using a password manager is also highly recommended; most don't.

    My MIL’s neighbors are renters who can’t get the landlord to deal with a massive hackberry tree that suffered a ton of die-off. The tree is starting to lose large branches now - and the big ones are still to fall.

    424A5AB4-92D3-452C-AD90-E13FCB6744FD.jpg

    When those big ones fall, they’re crushing cars. There are four kids living there, and I pray they’re not out there when those boughs break.

    MIL called the city - they can’t come out for 2 more weeks.

    I had (operative word) 4 in my yard when we moved in. Cut them all down in the first month. MIL used to have 2 large ones in her front yard and 3 in the back. They’ve all since died and fallen. Turns out that they have a short lifespan, which explains why they grow so fast.

    Yeah, sorry about that. Instagram itself isn't being very quick to respond to my report. I reported it to the feds, but they already know about the scam and I'm just one of thousands of spoof victims.

    I need plausible deniability, but I'll help you construct an alibi.

    I can provide you with a dirt bed, in case your FB friend needs to take a nap.

    We should probably verify that; but I would assume so. In my experience, I’ve only used GPR to locate concrete, rebar, underground utilities (construction materials), etc.... I don’t know exactly what the limitations are for it.
