Anti Pervert Hairy stockings / leggings - mmmm OK not going to ask

 

Mmm ok, I get that women wanting to wear skirts shorts and dresses do not like unwanted looks.  But, this method of warding off those who want to leer or do something else ala shoe cam is definitely off the wall.

Just for the record I did look this up as a search on Google via the shopping tab, and ya you can get this item.  

I wonder if they also sell them on Amazon? NOPE.  But you can find them at other sites.  

I am just going to shake my head and provide the link and let you decide if this is the thing you want to spend your hard earned cash on.

Google Shopping is the place to view and if you want buy these things.

Happy Friday!

Hoop Skirts

I do have to say that there is nothing more elegant than a lady in a dress or a skirt.  These days the wearing of skirts and dresses are not the most common thing in society and that's ok.  Though I have not worn such garments being a fella I can sort of relate to what it's like to wear one, having donned a kilt once.  It's not like wearing a skirt but I had a sense of what it feels like to be in one.  Thinking about it now reminds me of two things.

How cumbersome it was to get the thing on and fitting correctly and how kind of open one is in the thing.  I was self aware that some joker might want to flip the thing and take a look up it.  On the other side of the coin was the idea that it made me look handsome and it was not terribly uncomfortable to wear one.

So I can imagine that for a lady a skirt or dress has connected to them these feelings and thoughts above. Ugh I have to put the thing on over a petticoat wear stockings and yet hey I look good in this.  

Now imagine wearing a skirt or back in the day a dress and having an undergarment that pushed the skirt out in the form of a circle or other shape.  That my friends is or was the fashion of the late 1800s.  Hoop skirts were worn for comfort and technically ease of movement.  

The Crinoline was a stiff petticoat that was made of horse hair cotton or linen it was worn to extend the skirt outward in the form of a lining that shaped into a circle.  At the peak these dress linings would extend the skirt out 6 yards in circumference, 18Ft! that is a whole lotta skirt. These days they may still be seen worn by women on special occasions, mostly in the southern US.

Women and fashion have come a long way.  But, like I said seeing a lady in a skirt or dress always turns my head especially a BBW (big beautiful woman) in one.  Of course the greatest beauty and strength is in the heart not the clothes so don't be misled I think it's awesome that women are more empowered today to show off that strength along with being beautiful.  We have come a long way since the 1800s with still more room to improve.

Kitboga - The Dude with Shades Who Messes With Scammers

Kitboga, hmm interesting name.  This guy has been making life hell for scammers for quite some time.  The idea came to him after a family member got taken for a lot of money and he decided to see if he could beat them.  So he set up accounts on Youtube and Twitch and has been making fools of those who think they are getting a hit on a juicy target.

Over 1 million people follow Kitboga as he takes on those who are online trolling for victims.  

https://kitboga.com is the main site for Kitboga it links to his channels and he has garnered media attention.  CTV News featured him.  

Now before you think this is cool I want to try this DON'T.  Kitboga is an engineer by trade he knows computers inside and out and has skill that most people like you and I do not.  If you think there is a scam going on hang up can the professionals and practice safety online by doing the following.

1. Check with the CRA or IRS.   These government agencies don't call on you in the manner a scammer does.

2. Get a call from a person claiming to be from the bank, HANG UP.  Call the bank and check out the claim.  The same goes for calls from people claiming to be from a company like Bell or a tech support branch of a company.  They don't make calls, take it from a guy (me) who works on behalf of a tech company we don't do it it's a major no no and would lead to immediate dismissal if we did.  We only do when asked or on follow-up to an existing job we are working on.

3. Ah yes those emails and ads you get, you are a winner, you have a virus, this is XYZ company with important updates.  Never click the link and if you do do not put personal data in.  Look for extra charges and be aware that if it looks to good to be true, it's not.

4. Keep personal info off the socials addresses photos that show your address cute pics of the kids in identifiable locations near your home bad idea.  Sure we want to share our life story, just be careful of what you put online it can get you into trouble.

Kitboga's site is meant to teach us via humor how to stay ahead of the scammers in the immortal words of Pleakly from Lilo and Stitch "Educate yourself." Youtbe clip

Thanks for visiting Mixed Nuts.  I will add more content I promise so come back again soon.

Facebook AI taught itself it's own language

AI, it's not just a buzz word.  The tech is out there and has been for some time but, there have been some goofy things that have happened along the development road.  In fact there is still a lot of road left to traverse before AI can really be a thing humans can truly trust.

The case for mistrust can be made in an example of what happens when AI intended to do one thing does another.  In 2017 Facebook created two chatbots that were intended to communicate with each other.  Well they did and it went off the rails when the bots created a language that the designers could not understand forcing Facebook to shut it down.

Like I said a long road still needs to be traveled.  I am sure they are still trying to fix this or refine it so it does not do it again.  Thus far seems that I have heard no news stories about this.  So I guess they are not getting too far YET.

Here is the article that touched on this weird event back in 2017 from the Independent out of the UK.

Welcome to 2021 and YAY we are back up with new content starting today.

Japanese Rail Pointing and Calling Why?

Recently I was surfing youtube and decided to watch some videos of Tokyo train operations, one of the most unusual sights I saw was platform staff saluting the operator and the operator pointing and verbally stating what he was pointing at.

Japanese rail systems are known for being the safest to ride worldwide.  Why?  They take safety to a level beyond just looking at signals and communicating with the control towers.  Each time a train or subway enters certain stations operators and staff point out things that need to be done or checked to ensure safety standards are met.

The system is almost perfect, accidents are very rare and from what I have read amount to a low of 15%  What that is based on I have no idea.  My guess is it is based on the amount of trips and people in transit, rated at about 12 billion passengers country wide.  Somehow I think it is based on the number of trips.  The goal is to reduce errors that can cause mistakes, which in turn reduces accidents in the system.

There is not much in the way of detailed explanation, most likely to avoid risk of some prankster disrupting the routine of the operator and staff.   You can read and also look at videos of staff doing the calling via youtube just key in Japanese pointing and calling.

Here is a video of a driver using the system as he operates his train.

BTW the system is actually being used in New York City.

The Russian Woodbpecker

When I got my radio license back in 1982 used to hang out in a radio room at the Montreal Association for the Blind.  I would tune the ham radio bands and hear this really weird noise, it sounded like a fast tapping noise.  I found out later on that this was an array that was built by the Russians in the Ukraine called Duga.  We just called it the Russian Woodpecker.

A lot of people had many theories about the signal one of the most interesting, an attempt to control the mind.  The only thing it did to my brain was annoy the hell out of me during the times I wanted to make radio contacts.  It also annoyed a lot of other people too.  It got so bad that equipment had to be built that filtered out the sound of the fast tapping.

The clip listed here of the radar in action.  And yes its annoying but eerie and kind of cool too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOMVdOc9UbE.

There are other radars that can be heard as well and apparently the woodpecker is back!  Though I have not heard it, yet.

To get an idea of the hugeness of this thing here is a picture of the site.

The good thing that came out of this radar system and others like it, well we are still here aren't we?  The system of course was developed to detect missiles not control minds.

Wikipedia has a pretty good article about this radar installation as well.

Enjoy the read and see you sooner rather than later!  Yes I AM back writing my blogs again.
