14 day looking fairly solid; some rain, some sun and basically climo-ish temps. Thunderstorms and hail yesterday were pretty sweet, maybe we can get a couple more in April.
Your post is amusing. We do live in a world where there are a lot of bad actors. Granted immediately jumping to the conclusion that it has to be a bad actor is out of hand, but I think it should always be at least a part of the discussion. Hopefully, 9.9 times out of 10 it is a 30 second to 2 minute discussion (literally) and then the subject is put to bed and investigators move on.
We of course know that terrorism is very real. Cyber attacks are also very real.

I could not find anything of machinery or equipment being "hijacked" yet, but I have no doubt they are trying to figure it out.
Did you know that this is happening?

Some automakers already download software over wifi/cellular, and I believe Telsa is a major user of that functionality. I believe commercial aircraft can download their flight plans wirelessly.
With that being said, please tell me how there is no risk of modes of transportation potentially being corrupted by a bad actor.
And we've got our Elite Eight, also known as the Regional Finals.
East: 3 @ShawniganLake vs 1 @SilverFallsAndrew
West: 6 @Blizzard777 vs 4 @Front Ranger
South: 11 @FroYoBro vs 4 @MR.SNOWMIZER
Midwest: 2 @Tom vs 1 @snow_wizard
Only 2 number 1 seeds remain.
I feel like we have at least 1 species of cicada cuz they're loud for like 4 weeks in late July into August.
Starting to have tingly feelings in my limbs and regular partial seizures. Here's to hoping the insurance approves the medication by tomorrow or I'm pretty worried.
