Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I bought a Fossil Q Explorist, and so far I really like it. I was hoping to replace the band with a leather cuff-style one, but it would block the charging cable.

I need help with Lastpass. I have a form fill saved so that every time I go to amazon.com on Firefox, it fills in a particular ASIN in the search bar. This wouldn't be so bad, except that it does it on EVERY PAGE, so if I search for something and then want to tweak it, I have to retype the whole thing because LastPass overwrites it with this stupid ASIN. (And searching for things by variations on a specific title is something I have to do all the time for work, so.)

I know that Lastpass is responsible for this because when I disabled the extension, the issue went away. And it came back as soon as I turned it back on.

I've searched in my LP vault for "amazon" "firefox" "mozilla" and the ASIN itself, and found nothing. Anyone know how I can find this and delete it forever???

OMG I FIGURED IT OUT.

There is a settings menu within the site settings menu, and in there there is a field with *extra* form fills that I guess are filled in if you accidentally hit "save all" when you're on a website. I have deleted the offending entry and all is well with the world.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Help! My gmail account is getting flooded by spam messages for lists and accounts I never signed up for. How do I make it stop?

Ugh, sj. It's like 1000s of messages from 11:15 on today. I've spent the last hour and half dealing with it.

I'm only getting 5 or so but I didn't sign up for these.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Weird day all around. No GMail spam (yet...), but I got a voice mail on my cell in Chinese, allegedly from Warwick, RI.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The Chinese voicemail spam has been going for months, at least on my number. They may have focused on numbers associated with high Chinese populations.

I just got spear-phished on the phone for my credit card details. Successfully. The fuckers got my PIN form me. I feel so foolish. I cancelled my card as soon as I came to my senses. So far, it looks like there were no fraudulent charges.

Good catch, Tom! At least you recognized it for what it was, even if after the fact. Don't beat yourself up too much, these folks are professionals.

Me, I just spent half an hour on the phone with Venmo (pretty hard when you've lost your voice), and discovered that I had 2 accounts, somehow. Happily, that has now been resolved.
