Alexa, please cause the cops to raid my home
Amazon digital assistant throws wild midnight party – for itself

We all assume that intelligent devices will either serve our every need, or try to kill us, but what if they just want to party?

Well, it could work out pretty expensive as Oliver Haberstroh found out when his Amazon Alexa started its own early-hours party – waking up, and blasting music automatically, while its owner was out of the apartment.

The noise was so bad that Haberstroh's neighbors in Pinneberg, just outside Hamburg in Germany, banged on his door and asked him to turn it down. When he failed to respond, because he wasn't in that night, they called the police, and just over an hour later they also banged on the door but elicited no response.

Concerned that something terrible may have happened, the cops then kicked in the door to discover nothing but Alexa rocking out on her own.

The cops turned the music off, replaced the lock with a new one and left, leaving Haberstroh very confused when he arrived home to find that his keys no longer worked.

Wannabe terror teen found guilty, faces sentencing

A British teenager who tried to order a car bomb on the dark web and get it delivered to his address has been found guilty this week.

I hope the teen is temporarily pulled out of the gene pool to rethink his stupidity.

KFC selling chicken-scented bath bombs

If you’ve ever longed to immerse yourself in a steaming bath of chicken broth, the opportunity has now presented itself.

On Oct. 31, KFC Japan announced a partnership with Japanese retailer Village Vanguard on Twitter to produce — no joke — fried-chicken-scented bath bombs, for a limited time only.

Be thankful you exist at the same time as kfc bath bombs http://pic.twitter.com/y3CASlgu18

The drumstick-shaped bath bombs will be crafted with “eleven secret herbs and spices,” allowing you to soak in deep-fried scented glory, according to the Independent.

The Japanese seem to have some sort of obsession with KFC. They think it's what Americans have for Christmas dinner.

Sitting on my butt while others boldly go,
Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri.

It seems that a cloud of radioactive pollution spread over Europe after a possible "accident" at a nuclear facility in Russia or Kazakhstan, French nuclear safety officials confirmed on Friday.

Last time something like that happened they blew up a reactor. This one doesn't seem to be that class. Wonder how they just dumped one type of radiation if it was an "accident."

It seems that a cloud of radioactive pollution spread over Europe after a possible "accident" at a nuclear facility in Russia or Kazakhstan, French nuclear safety officials confirmed on Friday.

No worries:)
It is not about emissions from nuclear power plants, but from any other type of plant. The IRSN (Institut de radioprotection et de sûrete nucleaire) states in its report that what could be measured are levels of the radioactive substance ruthenium-106.
The levels measured were so low that they do not endanger human or environmental hazards.

The Kessel run starts here.

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

and here I thought some of the junk they are trying to sell on TV ads now days was weird "...
8 WEIRD VINTAGE PRODUCTS YOU'D BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND NOWADAYS

Over the years, plenty of kitschy products that turned out to not be as groundbreaking as we once thought have come and gone. From the vibrating "workout" belt of the 1950s to the Zunes of the 2000s, many of these products are long forgotten. However, thanks to the magic of advertisements, many of the ideas of these silly novelty products live on.

Here are some of the weirdest products from the depths of the internet that you probably won't find at the mall this holiday season.

Was just poking around on the local real estate property tax website, and found Papa John's house here is assessed at $11 million, with a tax bill this year of about $38,000. That's a lot of pizza!

Just to give it some context, $11 million for a house is a lot of money in Louisville. My house, which my parents bought in the 1960's for less than $15 thousand, is assessed at around $126 thousand now, and it is a nice 3 bedroom house with a basement on a 1/4 acre lot. Louisville real estate is cheap, so Papa John really has a mansion.

$11mil is a lot of money for a house anywhere IMHO.

Lol, well, it is, you're right, and proportionately speaking, it's a huge difference here. The low end on prices on decent houses here is about where I live, and then they go up from there, but anything over a million is very rare, actually, so Papa John's $11 million home is probably one of the most expensive places in Louisville.

Interesting. a 3br on 1/4 acre here in my hood would go for about $1M. So $11M there would be around $100M here, or the Playboy Mansion which did sell for $100M. That's a lot of house.

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Are tax records in the public domain in the States?

I feel that the current value of my home is a private matter and not one I would want to discuss publicly. However the area that I live in is very much a hybrid one, ranging from Council estates to gated communities with 5 bedroom detached at £5 mil. Yes it is very much us and them.

As far as Jefferson County, which includes the city of Louisville, Kentucky, the law says these records are indeed public domain.

The reason I showed them here is so people can see how real estate works in different places.
