A Nigerian prince just added me to a Google Calendar event in Bangladesh in which my Paypal bought an iPhone at an Apple store on the other side of the continent and oh there's a convenient number for me to call to dispute it.
I have never seen this many classic scam stereotypes crammed into a single, actually-sent spam message before.
solar eclipse
Merry esbat to those who celebrate the new moon.
Remember, don't look directly at the sun during the eclipse, not even with homemade hacks. By the time you realize you're damaging your vision at all, your eyes are already wrecked, probably for life.
The easiest no-hack no-device way to enjoy the eclipse is to park yourself in a spot with the sun poking through small openings, like under a shade tree, and watch the sunbeams in the shadows turn from round to crescents instead.

Thanks for reminding me, Learn.Microsoft.Com, that I needed to do this on my workstation's #Firefox as well:
1. Go to about:config
2. Search for the setting: layout.css.scrollbar-width-thin.disabled
2.a. Just searching for "thin" should be enough to find the setting.
3. Toggle from "false" (its default) to "true".
Reload the page whose front end designers made the scrollbars thin, to get proper normal scrollbars on it.
reminder: all those 'homemade hacks' for looking at an eclipse (looking through CDs, sunglasses, etc.) are going to damage your eyes permanently, and you won't notice until much later. they do not work.
you have exactly three valid options:
- look through certified eclipse glasses from a known-good manufacturer for <30s at a time at most
- go to your local observatory, they probably have equipment set up to do this safely
- project the eclipse on the ground using small holes but DO NOT look at the eclipse directly, also not through small holes
anything else will leave you with eye damage for the rest of your life. you do not want eye damage.
