I just received this email. I will scan for irregularities in my credit report, but does this seem like an identity theft thing? If someone hacked my info., I can't figure out how it would benefit them to give my email address to a ride sharing service in Ghana.

People here always talk about the Malcolm Butler interception, the 28-3 comeback, the AFCG game ending and OT drives against the chefs, but I thought I'd make a thread for great, but less remembered plays from Patriots history. When I watched this one in 1986, I was in college and my friends...

I've watched lots of Mike Tyson knockouts on Youtube over the years, so that it's always recommending more clips to me. When I strayed down into the comments section recently, nearly everyone was posting how he's unquestionably the GOAT. I don't agree with that, although I love watching his...

James Caan passed away yesterday at age 82. I think we missed doing a thread for Ray Liotta, so I wanted to post for James Caan, who delivered one of the other all time classic movie gangster performances. Solid actor and a seemingly cool guy, he WAS Sonny Corleone, nailing the hot-headed...

The other video thread got me thinking about how there's some Youtube videos that I come back to often and that I've watched over and over again over many years now. Nearly everyone must have a few. These two are near the top of my list to the point where I have everything about them memorized...

This involves a time machine (I know that dead Dennis Johnson & 65 yo Larry Bird would lose). Based on comments made in another thread, I'm just looking for people's perceptions of how much better/worse the present era is. So, my question is, if the 80's Celtics in their prime (peaked IMO in...

I've occasionally asked technical questions over the years in here and people in here have often been helpful, so I'll give this a shot. My 90 year old mother got COVID in December and cognitively declined and I'm in Kansas City selling the things in her house and taking care of things because...

I had taken a leave from the Planet because I mostly posted in the Political Playground and I decided that I didn't want to talk about that here any more. But, I've otherwise appreciated the site over the years and often got valuable feedback to questions looking for information, like I am...

I haven't come here in 6 months or longer, but now, each time I come to this site on Firefox I get hammered with redirect popup windows that are hard to close. It seems to be for fraudulent stuff, like telling me it's a Firefox update that I need to click on when it's obviously not from...

About 8 years ago, when I did jury duty in Boston, I talked about it in here and there were a few people who were really knowledgeable about the process, so I thought this would be a good place to float my question. If I remember right, I think RoadGrader (Boston) & PatsFanLisa (federal) worked...

It's stating the obvious on this board that I'm not a Repubican, but I've long had respect for Bush, Sr. All American college athlete, war hero, Director of the CIA, Vice President, President. Unquestionably a figure of competence and leadership. RIP

Apparently, they just transferred him to the federal prison in West Virginia yesterday and he became a notch on some inmate's belt. https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/10/30/whitey-bulger-dead-killed-west-virginia-prison-cheryl-fiandaca-wbz-tv/

I've been putting together spreadsheets for a long, dull project for work and have been working my way through a bunch of podcasts. I just listened to this NPR interview from last week with the author of a new Muhammed Ali biography, covering various aspects of his childhood, personality...

Is anyone else getting this popup when they enter Patriots Planet? I've been getting it a lot, but I think only when I come to this site.

I know this is a football forum, not a tech. support site, but a few times in the past, I've gotten some quick, helpful solutions in here from people who were more knowledgeable than me (practically everybody). I've had a strange glitch on my laptop. The other day, Excel stopped working and I...

And are you frustrated with the new version that they rolled out last night? I used to be able to see like 40 stories on one computer screen, from a wide variety of sources. Now they've reformatted it for mobile devices and it's a PITA on a PC to scroll and scroll and still not see all of what...

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bill-paxton-aliens-titanic-actor-dies-at-61-980169 The curse of 2016 continues. I really liked some of Paxton's performances - A Simple Plan, Big Love on HBO & Aliens with his currently apropos quote of, "game over man, game over." Was a very good actor...

I know this is a football message board, not a tech forum, but I've gotten good computer advice from you guys over the years, so will try again. I've gotten by without ever backing up my hard drives and have just been lucky (and maybe stupid), but now am sending my laptop to Dell to fix a...

Have many of you had to do this often? I served on a jury in Boston a few years ago - case where a Vietnamese woman, who didn't speak English and lived in Dorchester was suing Commerce Insurance Co. (don't ever use them) because they refused to pay her when her car was stolen and were...

Since there were so many Breaking Bad fans in here, I thought I'd give a shout out to Bryan Cranston's amazing performance as LBJ in "All The Way", which started airing this weekend on HBO. It's cool to see someone really talented finally hit the big time in middle age and Breaking Bad really...
