I had an Army acquaintance who “suited up” every day with a plasma bag of his wife’s urine taped under his armpit, with the tubing running to a fake penis he’d hollowed out and fitted with a click open / click closed type of valve.
No way was he going to give up the marijuana. So if we had a rando test that day, he’d whip it out, click and press his arm down to his side. It was warm enough under his armpit to pass the stick-on temperature LCD.

Mortgages may not be impacted much since they typically use all three scores. But Fanny/Freddie may owe lenders some money and visa versa if wrong scores were used.
But non-mortgage lenders like auto, cc, and the rental section (apartments, etc) may be facing blowback once Equifax informs applicants of the mistake.
Maybe I’m overreacting but this is a pita to those involved.

Interesting point - I wasn’t aware that mortgage lenders use all 3 scores (haven’t been “in that market”, so to speak, for 20 years). I wonder what a lender thought when they saw something like 830/826/434?
But I did know cars and apartments just use one from recent experience - I’ve got all 6 in my family frozen at all 3 agencies and when my daughters have gotten apartments I’ve had to unfreeze whichever one was to be used. Which weirdly some of the rental places wanted to treat like a trade secret, telling me “just unfreeze all 3”. Um, no. I’ll just move along to the other place that was tied for first with you.

One of my daughters has a bit of a dry sense of humor. This song was playing on someone’s playlist and she observed,
- That there is a song title badly in need of a comma.

I like to think I’m more shark than baby. But that just may be my own illusion of grandeur.

Today, I used our exercise bike for about 25 minutes for the first time in 3 weeks.
My background soundtrack was a YouTube video from NYT with Sohla El-Waylly and her husband Ham involving themselves in a gingerbread house building challenge.

Now 4 victims. 
Good Morning from Yreka -
Like you I’ve been grateful for the precipitation over the last few days, which has aided our brave first responders’ efforts to protect the communities of Scott Bar, Fort Jones, Yreka and elsewhere. Yesterday we got a little too much of a good thing with a torrential downpour, which triggered flash flood alerts from the National Weather Service around Siskiyou County. I’ve received early notification that we’ve experienced some mudflows on and adjacent to the fire resulting in trees or debris across the road. Last night, a damaged bridge resulted in one of our brave firefighters needing to be transported to Fairchild. Luckily, he was treated and released late last night and is safely back in a hotel to rest up.
The rain was helpful in continuing to cool down parts of the McKinney Fire and I’m not seeing the intense heat on the eastern and northeastern flanks of the fire that I’d been concerned about. That said, this continues to be a fire with substantial potential. It is burning in an area that hasn’t seen significant recorded fire activity in some time. I’m grateful to continue to work collectively with CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit in Unified Command to continue to tackle this incident.
Yesterday a Type 1 team (Nickie Johnny’s California Interagency Incident Management Team 2, which includes a lot of local north state fire personnel) assumed responsibility for the McKinney fire, which we continue to work in Unified Command with CAL FIRE. We also continue to get help from all over the West - yesterday I saw a dozer from the Angeles National Forest drive in to assist with line construction, and the California Office of Emergency Services has assisted us in mobilizing fire departments from throughout the west to come help us. Nickie’s team is planning a public meeting in Fort Jones tonight, and another on Friday.
This morning Todd Mack’s Team #10 assumes responsibility for the Yeti Incident (formerly China2) and the Alex Fire. They will be based out of Happy Camp and are holding a public meeting in Happy Camp tonight at 8pm.
Elsewhere around the forest, we continue to receive what the Weather Service has been describing as “Abundant” lightning. Our local fire responders have been aggressively responding to new starts and having very good success with them. One of the developing incidents I was most concerned about, the Kelsey fire, has been substantially slowed and all structures that were threatened are safe thanks to Acting Ranger Mario Gomez and the Salmon-Scott District fire staff, along with CAL FIRE.
At the same time, we are all struggling with tremendous losses. Sheriff LaRue Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the deaths of four residents in the community of Klamath River. For us in Siskiyou County, these are friends and neighbors even though we may not yet know their identity. Despite the rain last night, the threat to people and communities in our beautiful county remains grave.
When you are out and about, please be aware of firefighters and equipment, who are in and around our communities working to bring the McKinney Fire to 100% containment.

Let me get this straight young jedi.
People on the internet shoot off their mouths when they have no clue?
Maybe just to hear their own voice? Or in this case read their own words? Who knew?
Lemme save this to document just so I remember this great revelation.
I am fond of self mockery so when I get drawn in, of course I do, I at least chant out loud “someone on the internet is wrong!!”
Then I go right on to wasting my time and my limited energy, genius that I am.
How many other sites do you visit nowadays? There are far rougher neighborhoods to be explored you know.
