Scientists say they may have discovered why stress makes hair turn white, and a potential way of stopping it happening without reaching for the dye.

I've always said, my beard is grey because of my children + my Job + ex-wives + health = Balding & Grey hair, but Balding is sped up by stress or so I think.

 

My hair started turning grey
when I was just 25 a few here and there at first plucking them them out.
When I hit 30 vanatiy along with my black hair went out the window.

 

At long last the DOJ taking a bite out of robocall scammers. Sic em boys!
Robocall crackdown: Justice Dept. accuses several U.S. companies of being complicit in foreign scams

Sic em boys!

Thay didn't charge those SOB's with anything. It's getting to the point where it's not just anoying but you know someone who has been scammed.

 

That's like saying the post office is responsible for junk mail or your ISP is responsible for spam.

 

My local telephone co. put a call blocker on my land line. When you call my # you get a message that the owner does not accept unsolicited calls and to press 1 to continue. It's worked for ~2 years now. My cell phone... I leave it turned OFF unless I need to use it. My Luddite roots run deep.

The PO makes money off the junk mail. The ISP at least also has a spam blocker. The PO does prosecute mail fraud and the intent here was to stop the phone fraud.

 

I have never received overseas junk mail from India or anywhere else.

The mysterious drone sightings that captured national attention were a classic case of mass hysteria.

 

classic case of mass hysteria.

A professor of clinical psychology at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, included a lecture on crowd psychology in his annual course. To illustrate mass hysteria, he regularly showed TV news footage of teenage crowds greeting the Beatles at the local airport in the 1960’s.
One year, when he ran the footage, he heard squeals and bursts of laughter from his students. When the film ended he asked what had caused the hilarity.
Replied one student, “We recognized some of our mothers!”

Hindsight being 20-20 it does not read well .I know you got it mister nsaspook.Just wish to clarify my selective quote of your thread was only a lead-in 2 something lighthearted. History shows "Classic case of Mass Hysteria" is an end to a means to calm the public at large, independent of those highly trained professionals responsible for public safety, along with credible first responders observations, combined with the public's timestamp in reporting the observations over a geographical location are thrown to the wayside.

 

Oops... and I quoted something you never said.

It doesn't need to be Mass Hysteria of the public at large, two guys sitting inside a SAM battery in Iran or the entire bridge crew on a Naval ship in the Persian Gulf show the dangers of group think human imagination when under a perceived threat.

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself. And you are the easiest person to fool.

Eloquently put. Disturbing in a sense. Oh hell now you got me scared. My imagination is running away with me. Who's watching the watchers? What can be done. The perceived threat correct or incorrect, self preservation kicks in and given the ability that threat must be neutralized. Not given the ability to confront the threat you will be like me and stick your head in the sand and hope it goes away. I know I'm speaking as an individual but then again like minds tend to congregate. Paraphrasing, Horace Mann: Be ashamed to die if you have not won some small victory for humanity. I could be wrong who said it but that phrase stuck with me.

 

Now I'm going to go hide in the basement thank you very little

Being scared down to your bone-marrow is perfectly normal but as a rule you learn to work through it and keep your normal wits. I was in mortal fear of death every second I spent in an old, once shot-up USMC helicopter patched with what looked like beer cans. I was told early if you get onboard a bird and don't see red hydraulic fluid leaking, get off because that means its already all leaked out.

Wonder how big a bite that took out of their profit and how much more to expunge the records. Hopefully, they were indemnified by the courts or their insurance.

It's time to fire-up a few lawyers to get that money back from the local hick county sheriff that locked them up. These two guys intentionally tripped the alarm to get police response times. Real crooks would have stolen what they need and been long gone.
